OpenClaw fixed a zero-work drain loop in the auto-reply gateway and plugged QA lease leaks, both caused by recent policy changes.

The auto-reply gateway could stall in a zero-work drain loop after a queue drop policy change, blocking all outgoing messages. The fix preserves pending overflow summaries, records queue cap outcomes, and aligns summary lines with sources, ensuring the gateway drains correctly and no work is lost [1].

QA runs had two leak paths: isolated runs could permanently leak a channel credential lease after one transient cleanup failure, and runtime-parity runs could leave their owned lab server running while hiding the original scenario failure. The isolated-suite owner now records transport cleanup only after success, preserving the registry retry contract; the runtime-parity owner uses canonical cleanup aggregation so every owned lab stops [2].

Continuing the project-wide production LOC reduction, Telegram outbound actions, edits, forum topics, and rich-message handling now share canonical option contracts and target parsing without changing the plugin public surface [3]. Related consolidation in infra unifies platform/service path and usage rollup owners while preserving Nix/workspace ordering and all accounting [4].

Channel preview streaming now respects explicit `streaming.mode: partial` over inherited defaults in Telegram and Discord. Precedence is centralized in `src/channels/streaming.ts`: explicit channel block setting wins over eligible explicit preview modes, and the reply runner classifies item events for CLI preamble capture without leaking hidden commentary into final answers [5].
