Gesture update rollback guard fixed; Slack slackens redundant work

OpenClaw's Gateway update fix prevents rolled-back core after plugin handoff, while Slack delivery gets a one-time authored-reply preparation.

The managed Gateway update flow now finalizes plugins from the activated package after handoff [1]. Previously, a managed update that activated and verified the new core could still roll back when npm plugin changes demanded a final Doctor pass; the updater attempted another service stop after activation Doctor had stamped the config, tripping the older-binary destructive-action guard. It now uses the already-correct activated core root, so users running Gateway updates with plugin changes should see fewer mid-update rollbacks.

The Slack structured reply path now prepares authored chunks and projections once per delivery attempt [2]. The old flow repeatedly compiled the same authored Markdown for duplicate checks, actual send, and success marking, and the preview projection repeated that work again. It now prepares once and passes that prepared content through, cutting redundant compilation on each slack delivery attempt.

The proposal to share composer suggestion menu behavior consolidates listbox, option interaction, and keyboard navigation for slash commands, skill references, and people mentions into one owner [3]. Meanwhile, the Mac menu cost total now aligns with local days: it previously showed another day's spending or n/a when local date differed from UTC, and daily ranges used 24-hour UTC days across DST. Request cost buckets now use the Mac's local time zone via the existing Gateway API, with UTC-offset fallback for older Gateway timezone data [4].

The docs repo ran routine sync mirrors, and a locale refresh updated Control UI translations with no user-facing behavior change [5][6][7][8][9][10].
