Delayed chat commands no longer survive gateway reconnects

OpenClaw fixed a bug where delayed Control UI chat commands, including a queued /reset, could outlive the gateway connection and apply to a replacement session.

Delayed chat commands in the Control UI can no longer cross gateway reconnects. Commands held by session-state loading, reset confirmation, an active run, or durable queue delivery used to continue after a reconnect, so a queued `/reset` could apply to a replacement Gateway and the first send after `/clear` could retain a stale buffer. Commands are now cancelled when the connection, session selection, or authorization context changes [1]. A related commit also cancels chat scrolls on reconnect [2].

The system-agent setup path is faster. Verified inference setup repeatedly rediscovered process-stable plugin metadata across the baseline, staged, persisted, retried, and reconciled routes for each activation; it now prepares one compatibility-checked plugin manifest list after the setup plan and Codex install/registry refresh, then carries that immutable list through route selection [3]. The change is reflected in a release-owned changelog commit as well [4].

Test-only consolidation in the auto-reply suite removes 239 net lines. Repeated workspace-auth and nested-provider model fixtures are merged into a canonical directive parameter builder with a shared command runner, and the exec/verbose persistence policy matrix is compacted while preserving every named case and outcome. Production code is untouched [5].

Docs received five routine sync mirrors from openclaw/openclaw; no content changes of note [6][7][8][9][10].
