- Matrix: move the Matrix channel back to an official external ClawHub/npm plugin so core installs no longer need Matrix SDK runtime dependencies.

- Matrix: attach `com.openclaw.presentation` metadata to semantic presentation replies so OpenClaw-aware Matrix clients can render rich buttons, selects, context rows, and dividers while stock clients keep the plain text fallback. (#73312) Thanks @kakahu2015.

- Codex app-server: disarm the short post-tool completion watchdog after current-turn activity, expose `appServer.turnCompletionIdleTimeoutMs`, and include raw assistant item context in idle-timeout diagnostics so status-only post-tool stalls stop failing as idle. Fixes #77984. Thanks @roseware-dev and @rubencu.

- Codex app-server: release the session lane after a completed assistant message item goes quiet without `turn/completed`, and stop global rate-limit notifications from keeping stuck turns alive.

- Plugin skills/Windows: publish plugin-provided skill directories as junctions on Windows so standard users without Developer Mode can register plugin skills without symlink EPERM failures. Fixes #77958. (#77971) Thanks @hclsys and @jarro.

- Process tool: show input-wait hints from `log` and `poll` for idle interactive background sessions so operators can inspect stuck CLIs and resume them with existing input actions. Fixes #33957. Thanks @bitloi and @vincentkoc.

- Shell env/Windows: hide the login-shell environment probe child window so gateway startup and shell-env refreshes do not flash a console on Windows. Fixes #78159. (#78266) Thanks @BradGroux.

not queued behind a stale native turn. Any non-terminal notification for the

same turn, including `rawResponseItem/completed`, disarms that short watchdog

because Codex has proven the turn is still alive; the longer terminal watchdog

continues to protect genuinely stuck turns. Timeout diagnostics include the

last app-server notification method and, for raw assistant response items, the

item type, role, id, and a bounded assistant text preview.

continues to protect genuinely stuck turns. Global app-server notifications,

such as rate-limit updates, do not reset turn-idle progress. When Codex emits a

completed `agentMessage` item and then goes quiet without `turn/completed`,

OpenClaw treats the assistant output as effectively complete, best-effort

interrupts the native Codex turn, and releases the session lane. Timeout

diagnostics include the last app-server notification method and, for raw

assistant response items, the item type, role, id, and a bounded assistant text

preview.
