OpenClaw tolerates a missing image optimizer under the size cap and caps Gateway session listings at 100 rows by default.

Image media loading now falls back to the original image when the optional `sharp` optimizer is unavailable, provided the image is already under the configured size cap [1]. It used to fail entirely; it now preserves the size cap by continuing to fail for over-limit images. Regression coverage exercises both paths.

The codex Gateway now bounds `sessions.list` responses, applying a default 100-row cap when callers omit `limit` [2]. The response includes `totalCount`, `limitApplied`, and `hasMore` so clients can detect truncation. Internal session resolution where full-store semantics are required stays unbounded.

Subagent completion delivery now detects when the requester-visible output is merely a prefix of the full child report and falls back to the captured child result [3]. Legitimate concise requester rewrites remain the primary path, and the fallback is documented for manual-spawn completions.

Docs refreshed for pt-BR, zh-CN, and uk, and the Homebrew tap updated crabbox to v0.4.0 [4][5][6][7].
