- Agents/compaction: treat visible custom-message, bash, and branch-summary entries as real conversation anchors so safeguard mode does not write empty fallback summaries for cron and split-turn sessions with substantive tool work. Fixes #78300. Thanks @amknight.

- Network/runtime: avoid importing Undici's package dispatcher during no-proxy timeout bootstrap so external channel plugin fetch requests with explicit Content-Length keep working. Fixes #78007. Thanks @shakkernerd.

- Status/doctor: treat a single healthy OpenClaw Gateway listener on loopback, LAN, or wildcard bind as the expected configured gateway instead of warning that the port is already in use. Fixes #77939. Thanks @GitHoubi.

- Gateway/shutdown: cancel delayed post-ready maintenance during close and suppress maintenance/cron startup after quick restarts, preventing orphaned background timers. Thanks @vincentkoc.

- Agents/TTS: send media-bearing block replies directly when block streaming is off, so agent `tts` tool audio attached to a final text reply is delivered instead of being consumed before final Telegram/media delivery. Thanks @Conan-Scott.

- Gateway/performance: reuse the current compatible plugin metadata snapshot across hot read-only status, channel, auth, skills, and embedded agent settings paths, avoiding repeated synchronous plugin metadata scans during Gateway activity. Fixes #77983. Thanks @shakkernerd.

- Tasks/maintenance: prune stale cron run session registry entries while preserving running cron jobs and non-cron sessions. Fixes #73867. Thanks @brokemac79.
