Breaking

• BREAKING: Reject invalid/unknown config entries and refuse to start the gateway for safety. Run clawdbot doctor --fix to repair, then update plugins (clawdbot plugins update) if you use any.

Fixes

• Discovery: shorten Bonjour DNS-SD service type to _clawdbot-gw._tcp and update discovery clients/docs.
• Diagnostics: export OTLP logs, correct queue depth tracking, and document message-flow telemetry.
• Diagnostics: emit message-flow diagnostics across channels via shared dispatch. (#1244)
• Diagnostics: gate heartbeat/webhook logging. (#1244)
• Gateway: strip inbound envelope headers from chat history messages to keep clients clean.
• Gateway: clarify unauthorized handshake responses with token/password mismatch guidance.
• Gateway: allow mobile node client ids for iOS + Android handshake validation. (#1354)
• Gateway: clarify connect/validation errors for gateway params. (#1347)
• Gateway: preserve restart wake routing + thread replies across restarts. (#1337)
• Gateway: reschedule per-agent heartbeats on config hot reload without restarting the runner.
• Gateway: require authorized restarts for SIGUSR1 (restart/apply/update) so config gating can't be bypassed.
• Cron: auto-deliver isolated agent output to explicit targets without tool calls. (#1285)
• Agents: preserve subagent announce thread/topic routing + queued replies across channels. (#1241)
• Agents: propagate accountId into embedded runs so sub-agent announce routing honors the originating account. (#1058)
• Agents: avoid treating timeout errors with "aborted" messages as user aborts, so model fallback still runs. (#1137)
• Agents: sanitize oversized image payloads before send and surface image-dimension errors.
• Sessions: fall back to session labels when listing display names. (#1124)
• Compaction: include tool failure summaries in safeguard compaction to prevent retry loops. (#1084)
• Config: log invalid config issues once per run and keep invalid-config errors stackless.
