- Plugins/runtime-deps: include `json5` in the memory-core plugin runtime dependency set so packaged `memory_search` sandboxes can resolve generated OpenClaw runtime chunks that parse JSON5 config. Fixes #77461.

- Codex harness: preserve app-server usage-limit reset details and deliver OpenClaw-owned runtime failure notices through tool-only source-reply mode, so Telegram and other chat channels tell users when Codex subscription limits or API failures block a turn instead of going silent. (#77557) Thanks @pashpashpash.

- Agents/OpenAI: default direct OpenAI Responses models to the SSE transport instead of WebSocket auto-selection, preventing pi runtime chat turns from hanging on servers where the WebSocket path stalls while the OpenAI HTTP stream works. Thanks @vincentkoc.

- Plugins/update: repair missing plugin-local `openclaw` peer links before skipping unchanged npm plugin updates, so current external Codex installs can recover `openclaw/plugin-sdk/*` resolution during OTA repair. (#77544) Thanks @ProspectOre.

- Discord/replies: treat failed final reply delivery as a failed turn instead of counting it as a delivered automatic visible reply, so guild/channel turns no longer show done when the final message was dropped. Fixes #77520. Thanks @Patrick-Erichsen.

- Discord: prefer IPv4 for Discord REST and gateway WebSocket startup paths so IPv4-only networks no longer stall before Gateway READY and inbound message dispatch. Fixes #77398; refs #77526. Thanks @Beandon13.

- Channels/plugins: key bundled package-state probes, env/config presence, and read-only command defaults by channel id instead of manifest plugin id, preserving setup and native-command detection for channel plugins whose package id differs from the channel alias. Thanks @vincentkoc.
