 ### Changed
 
+- **Behavior UX simplification** — Retires user-facing Tool Status Messages and
+  deterministic tool-status channel text. Show Reasoning remains separate for
+  debugging/testing, while Quick Acknowledgement and Intermediate Replies are
+  delivery-only sidecar messages. Legacy `block_reply` config remains readable
+  as an inherited Intermediate Replies default but is no longer exposed as a
+  separate Web UI control.
+
 - **ChatGPT Subscription (OAuth)** — default model and backend-owned model catalog
   now prefer `gpt-5.5`, with reasoning metadata and context-window defaults updated
   for provider-first model selection.
 
 ### Fixed
 
+- **Quick Acknowledgement generated mode** — Generated acknowledgements now use
+  the sidecar delivery generator instead of always falling back to fixed
+  templates. Sidecar failures stay non-blocking and fall back to templates.
+
+- **Intermediate Replies are sidecar-generated** — Tool-call progress no longer
+  appends fixed "I'll use ..." text or relies on main-pipeline assistant content.
+  Visible progress is generated from bounded delivery metadata and is kept out
+  of session history.
+
 - **Multi-attachment messages no longer trigger N agent replies (#63).**
   Three coalescing surfaces hardened so a single user action produces ONE
   agent run regardless of how the platform delivers attachments:

 Normal channel messages pass through the shared inbound debouncer before agent execution. `gateway.inbound_debounce_ms` merges rapid text messages from the same `channel:chatID:senderID:agentID`; `0` means no debounce and positive values set the wait window. Agents can override the global value with `other_config.inbound_debounce_ms`; unset inherits the global config. Command/control messages such as `/stop`, `/reset`, and system escalations bypass the debouncer.
 
+### Human-like Delivery

+text is not added to session history or the main provider messages.
+
+- `quick_ack` sends one short receipt for non-streaming channel runs.
+  `mode="sidecar_generated"` uses a bounded sidecar LLM call;
+  `mode="llm_generated"` is kept as a backward-compatible alias;
+  `mode="fixed_template"` sends the first template; `mode="off"` disables it.
+- `quick_ack.provider/model` can choose a cheaper sidecar provider/model. If
+  unset, the delivery generator falls back to the agent provider/model. Timeout,
+  max token, and max char limits bound the call; templates are fallback output on
+  errors, timeouts, or empty sidecar text.
+- `intermediate_replies` sends sidecar-generated progress during tool phases. It
+  is independent from `quick_ack`: either feature can be enabled or disabled
+  alone.
+- Sidecar progress uses bounded delivery metadata only: message preview, locale,
+  channel/peer, agent label, and tool phase. It does not receive session
+  history, tool arguments, tool output, tool schemas, memory, or system prompts.
+- Deterministic Tool Status Messages no longer emit channel text. Platform
+  reactions and explicit Show Reasoning delivery remain separate behavior.
+- `final_split` splits long final text replies into a bounded number of
+  paragraph messages.
+- Override order is Channel > Agent > Workspace. Agent overrides live in
+  `agents.other_config.delivery_behavior`; channel overrides continue under
+  `chat_behavior`.
+- Legacy `gateway.block_reply` and channel `block_reply` values are still read
+  as inherited `intermediate_replies.enabled` defaults when the newer
+  `chat_behavior.intermediate_replies.enabled` field is unset.
+
+Splitting is intentionally conservative. Replies containing fenced code, tables, lists, quotes, JSON/XML-ish blocks, or URL-only paragraphs remain a single message. Media replies and streaming deliveries are not split.
+
+Progress messages are not added to session history by this behavior. Existing run timeline handling for explicit `block.reply` remains unchanged.
+
+### Outbound Media Delivery
+
+Agent tools can queue media files through `Result.Media`; the consumer converts
+those entries into `OutboundMessage.Media` and preserves file order, MIME type,
+filename, and optional captions.
+
+- `send_file` accepts either the legacy single `path` + optional `caption`, or
+  `attachments: [{path, caption?}, ...]` for batch delivery of existing
+  workspace files.
+- Telegram groups compatible outbound media into `sendMediaGroup` album chunks
+  of 2-10 items. Photo/video items can share a chunk; documents group only with
+  documents; audio groups only with audio. Voice-mode audio, singleton chunks,
+  oversized images sent as documents, and incompatible runs use the existing
+  ordered single-send fallback.
+- Discord already sends multiple files plus optional text in one message.
+- Slack and other media-capable channels keep ordered fallback behavior unless
+  their adapter advertises a stronger batch capability.
+
+### Reasoning Delivery
+

+
+| `reasoning_delivery` | Behavior |
+|----------------------|----------|
+| `streaming_only` | Legacy behavior. Show model reasoning only in the live streaming lane. |
+| `always_bubbles` | Force provider streaming internally and send reasoning as bounded channel bubbles, even when `dm_stream` / `group_stream` are off. |
+| `off` | Suppress reasoning output in the channel. Traces and provider usage remain unaffected. |
+
+Backward compatibility: if `reasoning_delivery` is missing, legacy `reasoning_stream=false` resolves to `off`; otherwise it resolves to `streaming_only`. Explicit `reasoning_delivery` always wins over the legacy boolean. Reasoning bubbles are delivery-only messages and are not added to assistant history.
+
 **Multi-attachment coalescing (#63).** Messages carrying attachments do NOT bypass the debouncer — that pre-fix shortcut was the source of N-replies for one user action.

+inspection:

+goclaw traces list --status error --limit 20

+goclaw traces export <trace-id> --file trace.json.gz
+goclaw traces follow --session <session-key> --since 2026-06-12T01:00:00Z
+goclaw traces timeline <trace-id>
+```
+
+By default, commands use the same local gateway config and
+`GOCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` behavior as existing admin commands. For remote
+operations, use explicit overrides:
+
+```bash
+goclaw --server https://goclaw.example.com --token "$GOCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN" traces get <trace-id> -o json
+```
+
+`--server` also applies to existing WebSocket/RPC-backed admin commands such as
+`sessions`, `cron`, and `pairing`. The URL can also come from `GOCLAW_SERVER`
+or `GOCLAW_GATEWAY_URL`; `--server` wins when both are set.
+
+The standalone `nextlevelbuilder/goclaw-cli` can remain a compatibility tool,
+but first-party trace operator workflows are now available from the main
+server/runtime binary.

+Provider streaming and channel streaming are separate decisions. A channel may request provider streaming only to receive reasoning events, while still delivering the final answer as a normal non-streamed message.
+
+Telegram exposes this through `reasoning_delivery`:

+| Mode | Channel output |
+|------|----------------|
+| `streaming_only` | Show reasoning only when `dm_stream` / `group_stream` is enabled. |
+| `always_bubbles` | Force provider streaming and flush reasoning into bounded channel bubbles. |

 ### Token Estimation
 
 Thinking tokens are estimated as `character_count / 4` for context window tracking. This rough estimate ensures the agent loop can account for thinking overhead when calculating context usage.

+# Local-First Document Text Extraction (PDF/DOCX)
+
+**Date**: 2026-05-29 17:26
+**Severity**: Medium
+**Component**: read_document tool / DocumentParser
+**Status**: Shipped
+
+## What Happened
+
+Delivered local-first text extraction adapter for `read_document` tool. PDF/DOCX files now optionally extract text via `pdftotext` (poppler) / `pandoc` (DOCX sandbox mode) *before* falling back to cloud vision LLM chain. Trades off extraction quality (plaintext loses layout, tables, multi-column semantics) for privacy + token cost savings on text-rich documents.
+
+Opt-in by default OFF — users must explicitly set `document_parser.local_first: true` in config. This deliberate choice avoids shipping a regression: scanned PDFs + image-only documents yield empty local output, forcing cloud fallback anyway, wasting latency on a guaranteed miss.
+
+## The Brutal Truth
+
+This feature feels overdue and also fragile simultaneously. On one hand, it's a no-brainer privacy win for local deployments — why burn Gemini's vision context on a 100-page plaintext PDF when you can `pdftotext` it in 50ms locally? On the other, plaintext extraction fundamentally cannot preserve document structure. Users who expect formatted table output from local parsing *will* be disappointed; they need the vision chain.
+
+The default-OFF toggle was the pragmatic choice: let power users opt in, don't punish document quality for the majority. But that also means the feature ships with zero real-world usage data. We'll learn on production deployments whether the latency win justifies the extraction quality gap.
+
+## Technical Details
+
+**New interface:** `DocumentParser` in `internal/tools/document_parser.go` — two methods:
+- `Extract(ctx, path, mime) (string, error)` — returns plaintext or sentinel error (`ErrParserUnsupported`, `ErrParserUnavailable`, `ErrParserEmpty`)
+- `Supports(mime) bool` — runtime check: config enabled + binary resolvable via LookPath
+
+**LocalExtractParser implementation:**
+
+1. **No-shell subprocess** (`exec.Command` not `sh -c`) — direct argument array, never string concat.
+2. **Process-group kill on timeout** — `SIGTERM` → 3s grace → `SIGKILL` via `setProcessGroup/killProcessGroup`. Pandoc forks helper processes; killing the group reaps grandchildren. NOT `exec.CommandContext` (simpler, but would only kill direct child, orphaning helpers).
+3. **Minimal subprocess env** — `buildCredentialedEnv(nil)` captures PATH/HOME/LANG/USER only. Never inherit gateway env (holds DB DSNs, API keys, encryption keys). Same posture as exec tool.
+4. **Bounded stdout** — `cappedWriter` buffers up to 500KB (`documentMaxTextBytes`), silently discards overflow, always reports full write so child never blocks on pipe. Appends truncation marker matching the existing direct-text truncation behavior.
+5. **Safe binary args:**
+   - `pdftotext` omits `--` terminator (poppler's parser doesn't treat it as option-end; would consume it as positional, clobbering the real path).
+   - `pandoc --sandbox` for untrusted DOCX (prevents fetch/read-arbitrary-files during conversion).
+6. **Extracted text = untrusted** — never changes trust model. Inline with existing direct-text fast-path; no new injection vector.
+
+**Integration into read_document:**
+
+Local-first block sits *after* existing guards (archive check, text-readable fast-path, 20MB read guard) *before* vision chain. Path validated at exec boundary (`validateExecPath` reuses `resolvePathWithAllowed` + `checkDeniedPath` so MediaRef-derived paths get same workspace confinement check).
+
+Any miss (disabled / unsupported mime / missing binary / empty output / exec error / timeout) falls through silently to vision chain — never errors. Clean hit returns plaintext with **zero Provider/Model/Usage** (no LLM spend).
+
+## What We Tried
+
+N/A — new feature, no prior attempts.
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+Motivation: issue #84 (token cost + privacy on local deployments with text-heavy PDFs). Vision LLM chains waste 250+ tokens per document page for purely textual content; local extraction avoids that spend + keeps data off-cloud for privacy-sensitive deployments.
+
+Decision to default OFF stems from observing plaintext extraction limitations: scanned PDFs (image-only) + multi-column layouts + formatted tables all lose semantic information when extracted as flat text. Forcing this on all users regresses experience. Opt-in preserves quality for majority, enables cost savings for explicit users.
+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+1. **Subprocess timeout strategy matters.** Process-group kill is cleanest for extractors that fork helpers. CommandContext would orphan grandchildren. In production, timeouts are less about hung processes (modern tools timeout internally) and more about defense-in-depth; document a timeout will never be hit in practice, but it saves from catastrophic hangs.
+
+2. **Untrusted input + subprocess = attack surface.** Spent care on: minimal env (no secrets), no-shell exec (no globbing), `pandoc --sandbox` (no file I/O), bounded output (no OOM), path validation at exec boundary (no traversal). These are defensive layers; a single layer's failure shouldn't cascade. Validation + env isolation are the hardest wins.
+
+3. **Opt-in vs. opt-out cuts both ways.** Default-OFF means the feature ships with zero usage data. Production will tell us if local extraction is enough for the use cases pushing for it (and if not, whether vision fallback makes it moot). Default-ON would have been faster to adoption but would have regressed document quality perception immediately. Chose sustainable over frictionless.
+
+4. **Truncation markers must match.** Both direct-text and local extraction append the same `[... truncated at 500KB ...]` marker. Downstream (agent, logs) sees identical output shape. Small detail, huge payoff: no code changes needed to handle truncation; it just works.
+
+5. **Testing on stubbed binaries is essential.** Tests mock `LookPath` so `pdftotext`/`pandoc` don't need to be installed to verify logic (timeout kill, capped write, path validation). Leaves open the question of real binary output quality, but that's expected to vary by tool version.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Monitoring:** Instrument extraction hits vs. misses in production (`slog.Info` already in place). Monitor fallback rate to vision chain — if >90% miss, feature is unused; if <10% miss, local extraction is carrying load.
+
+2. **Real-world feedback:** Opt-in means early power users will report quality issues or token savings. Collect feedback on whether plaintext extraction is good enough for their PDFs. May need advanced config (e.g., OCR pipeline for scanned docs, pandoc output format tuning).
+
+3. **Binary availability docs:** Desktop Lite (`sqliteonly` build) doesn't include `pdftotext`/`pandoc`. Clarify that local-first requires full server variant (or binaries installed at runtime). Update install guides.
+
+4. **Potential enhancements (deferred):**
+   - OCR pipeline for scanned PDFs (tesseract) — adds latency, changes computation model
+   - Fallback to LLM-only if local extraction is disabled (not yet exposed as easy toggle)
+   - Per-document extraction strategy (hint: "scanned" vs. "text" → choose pipeline)
+
+**Owned by:** Tools team.
+**Deadline:** Monitor week 1 post-ship for adoption metrics.

+## 2026-06-13
+
+### Cron NO_REPLY delivery suppression (issue #141)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Suppressed configured cron channel delivery when final agent output contains a
+  standalone `NO_REPLY` sentinel anywhere in the text, while keeping normal chat
+  silent-reply behavior unchanged.
+- Added suppression logging with cron job/channel metadata for debugging.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added cron handler regression coverage for exact, prefix, suffix,
+  mid-sentence, decorative, and glued-token `NO_REPLY` outputs.
+
+---
+
+## 2026-06-12
+
+### Cron scheduler shutdown drain (post-merge CI follow-up)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Made cron service shutdown wait for scheduler-launched job executions to
+  finish so in-flight status persistence cannot outlive `Stop()`.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added regression coverage proving `Stop()` waits for a blocked in-flight job
+  before returning.
+
+### Bundled GoClaw gateway administration skill (issue #175)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Added a bundled `goclaw` system skill for version-aware GoClaw CLI/runtime
+  discovery, read-only-first diagnostics, gateway administration workflows, and
+  troubleshooting playbooks.
+- Documented safety guidance for credentials, destructive actions,
+  permissions, tenant scope, and trace redaction.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added bundled-skill regression coverage to keep the default core skill set
+  discoverable in fresh runtimes.
+
+### Bailian Coding qwen3.7-plus catalog (issue #169)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Added `qwen3.7-plus` / `Qwen 3.7 Plus` to the hardcoded Bailian
+  Coding provider model catalog.
+- Documented the model's advertised Text Generation, Deep Thinking, and Visual
+  Understanding capabilities while keeping Bailian on the existing
+  OpenAI-compatible provider wrapper.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added provider model endpoint coverage to verify Bailian exposes
+  `qwen3.7-plus` without adding unsupported OpenAI reasoning metadata.
+
+### Multi-attachment outbound delivery (issue #172)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Extended `send_file` with `attachments[]` so agents can queue multiple
+  existing workspace files in one tool call while preserving order and captions.
+- Added caption propagation from tool result media through agent media results
+  into outbound channel attachments.
+- Added Telegram media-group delivery for compatible batches with 2-10 item
+  chunks, plus ordered fallback for singleton, voice, oversized-image, or mixed
+  incompatible cases.
+- Added explicit channel batch capability metadata for Telegram, Discord, and
+  ordered fallback channels.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added batch `send_file` regressions for happy path, duplicate rejection, and
+  all-or-nothing delivered-state handling.
+- Added Telegram media-group chunking tests for compatible grouping, max-size
+  chunking, and non-groupable fallback.
+
+### Operator trace CLI (issue #158)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Added first-class `goclaw traces` operator commands to the main binary:
+  `list`, `get`, `export`, `follow`, and `timeline`.
+- Added remote client overrides with `--server` and `--token`; trace commands
+  support trace-scoped output selection via `--output` / `-o`.
+- Shared the URL/token resolver with WebSocket/RPC-backed admin commands so
+  `sessions`, `cron`, and `pairing` can use the same remote gateway overrides.
+- Kept trace commands as thin wrappers over existing HTTP endpoints so the
+  server/runtime and operator CLI share one binary without new API contracts.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added command/client regressions for gateway URL and token overrides, trace
+  query serialization, follow scope validation, and timeline run ID handling.
+
+### Skill self-evolution metrics and upgrades (issue #161, issue #142 foundation)
+
+**Features**
+
+- Added per-skill self-evolution settings, usage metrics, suggestions, immutable
+  applied-version records, and activity logs.
+- Added trusted runtime usage recording for `use_skill` and slash skill
+  activations without exposing a public usage-write endpoint.
+- Added skill evolution HTTP, CLI, and Web UI surfaces for settings, metrics,
+  suggestions, approval/apply actions, and admin-visible activity.
+- Added the shared foundation needed by self-improving skills: usage evidence,
+  reference-file patches, versioned apply, and approval/audit surfaces. The
+  consolidation learning extractor and auto user-scoped overlays remain out of
+  this v1 scope.
+
+**Safety**
+
+- Blocked direct system skill mutation in the suggestion apply path.
+- Reused a shared target-path validator for skill companion/reference patches.
+- Sanitized failure evidence, draft patches, actor IDs, and activity details
+  away from non-admin surfaces.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added focused skill path validator coverage and deep-link coverage for the new
+  Web UI evolution tab.
+
+### Skill lifecycle API and CLI (issue #159)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Added per-skill dependency scan/check/install endpoints and CLI commands.
+- Added access read/update, agent/user grant aliases, and effective-access
+  inspection for operator workflows.
+- Dependency status now reports system, pip, npm, and GitHub release deps in
+  structured output.
+- Skill user grants are now tenant-scoped so shared system skills can be
+  granted to the same user ID in different tenants without conflicts.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added HTTP, CLI, PostgreSQL, and SQLite coverage for dependency lifecycle,
+  access mode changes, grants, effective access, grant-driven visibility, and
+  tenant-scoped user grants.
+
+### Mid-flight request preservation (issue #137)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Busy-session `chat.send` follow-ups that arrive after a no-tool final answer
+  now force one more pipeline iteration instead of finalizing the earlier answer.
+- The earlier final answer is preserved as assistant context and the follow-up is
+  appended after it, so the next model turn can answer both accepted requests.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added pipeline regressions for late injected follow-ups after a final answer.
+
+---
+
+## 2026-06-11
+
+### Trace search and advanced filters (issue #152)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Extended `GET /v1/traces` with keyword search, partial Trace ID search, date
+  ranges, token ranges, tool-call filters, and agent/channel label search.
+- Added equivalent PostgreSQL and SQLite query-builder behavior with tenant
+  guards on joined channel/span search.
+- Added Web Traces search/filter controls with active filter chips.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added HTTP contract coverage for advanced trace filter parsing and user scope.
+- Added PostgreSQL and SQLite where-builder coverage for search, ranges, tool
+  filters, tenant predicates, and wildcard escaping.
+- Added Web filter serialization and trace i18n key coverage.
+
+### Secure CLI GitHub credential runtime diagnostics (issues #138, #151)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Git remote commands now fail closed before raw `git` auth prompts when no
+  typed host-scoped PAT/SSH credential is selected.
+- Required SecureCLI env validation now applies to preset env vars such as
+  `GH_TOKEN`, so credentialed `gh` commands report missing credential config
+  instead of raw `gh auth login` guidance.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added regressions for `git push` without typed credentials and `gh` without
+  `GH_TOKEN`.
+
+---
+
+## 2026-06-09
+
+### Behavior UX sidecar delivery overrides (issue #144)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Removed user-facing Tool Status Messages from Behavior settings and disabled
+  deterministic tool-status channel text.
+- Added sidecar-generated Quick Acknowledgement and Intermediate Replies with
+  optional provider/model, timeout, token, and char caps.
+- Added Channel > Agent > Workspace delivery-behavior resolution. Agent
+  overrides use `other_config.delivery_behavior` without a schema migration.
+- Kept legacy `block_reply` readable as a default for Intermediate Replies while
+  removing its separate Web UI controls.
+- Kept Show Reasoning as a separate debug/testing feature.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added config resolution coverage for Channel > Agent > Workspace and Quick
+  Ack independent from Intermediate Replies.
+- Added channel event coverage for sidecar quick ack, sidecar tool progress, and
+  retired tool-status messages.
+- Added Web UI schema coverage for sidecar delivery override fields.
+
+---
+
+## 2026-06-01
+
+### Telegram Show Reasoning delivery modes (issues #132, #133)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Added `reasoning_delivery=streaming_only|always_bubbles|off` with backward compatibility for legacy `reasoning_stream`.
+- HTTP and WebSocket channel-instance writes normalize explicit `reasoning_delivery` over legacy `reasoning_stream`.
+- `always_bubbles` forces provider streaming internally so reasoning can be delivered as bounded channel bubbles even when Telegram live streaming is disabled.
+- Stream-path final `resp.Thinking` is now emitted when no thinking chunk arrived during the stream.
+- Terminal channel events preserve interim delivery state until the consumer reads the final dedup snapshot.
+
+**UI**
+
+- Web and desktop channel settings now expose Show Reasoning as a mode selector instead of a streaming-only boolean.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added channel delivery, config resolution, and agent stream final-thinking coverage.
+

+
+## 2026-05-31
+
+### CI/CD: zuey release asset race fix
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Made release artifact completion wait for zuey beta deploy before refreshing GitHub Release assets with `--clobber`.
+- Prevents the VPS upgrade script from seeing `linux amd64 release asset not found` while another workflow job is replacing the same asset.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Updated the dev beta workflow structure test to lock the deploy-before-completion dependency.
+
+---
+
+### CI/CD: fast zuey beta deploy (issue #88)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Split the dev beta release workflow so zuey deploy starts after the linux amd64 prerelease asset is published, instead of waiting for Docker multi-arch builds and beta alias promotion.
+- Added stale beta tag guards for zuey deploy and Docker beta alias promotion so older runs cannot roll back a newer beta.
+- Kept linux arm64 binaries, refreshed checksums, multi-arch Docker images, and beta aliases as required post-deploy completion jobs.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added a workflow-structure test covering the fast deploy graph, artifact completion graph, and stale-tag guards.
+
+---
+
+### Provider fallback content-policy recovery
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Classifies provider content-policy rejections such as DashScope `data_inspection_failed` so model fallback can continue to the next configured candidate instead of stopping on `unknown`.
+- Prevents Telegram runs from aborting silently when one fallback provider rejects a long/private history but another configured fallback remains available.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added provider classifier and model fallback coverage for continuing past a content-policy fallback failure.
+
+---
+
+### Empty Codex OAuth truncation recovery
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Detects successful LLM calls that still return `finish_reason=length` with no text/tool/image output, the observed failure mode when long Codex OAuth runs spend the remaining budget on reasoning.
+- Runs emergency history compaction and retries instead of finalizing empty assistant content into repeated `"..."` replies.
+- Preserves configured/model context windows so future provider context upgrades do not require code changes.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added ThinkStage coverage for empty length responses, retry compaction, usage accounting, and repeated failure handling.
+
+---
+
+### Agent Access git credential follow-up (issue #117)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Replaced separate Agent Grants and Agent Credentials row actions with one
+  Agent Access dialog containing Credential and Access policy tabs, preventing
+  overlapping agent-access modals.
+- Git PAT credentials now inject GitHub-compatible Basic auth extraheaders
+  instead of Bearer headers.
+- SSH private keys are now checked with OpenSSH at save time when `ssh-keygen`
+  is available, catching keys that would later fail with `error in libcrypto`.
+
+**Security**
+
+- Git PAT redaction now includes the raw token, the base64 Basic auth payload,
+  and the full injected header value.
+
+---
+
+### Tool-call announcements
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Intermediate Replies now preserve natural assistant progress text as-is
+  instead of appending a deterministic tool-name sentence.
+- Empty-content tool calls no longer emit synthetic server-generated
+  Intermediate Reply bubbles. This prevents repeated template messages and
+  keeps visible progress model-generated.
+- Tool-call progress keeps the `tool_announcement` source when the model does
+  provide assistant text, so Quick acknowledgement suppression still treats it
+  as explicit progress.
+- The full-mode system prompt now tells the LLM to write any short progress
+  sentence naturally in the user's language and to describe user-visible action
+  instead of internal tool names.
+- Quick acknowledgement off still suppresses generic first acknowledgements,
+  but no longer suppresses explicit model-generated tool progress.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added pipeline coverage for empty-content tool calls so they do not emit
+  template `block.reply` messages.
+- Added prompt coverage for natural, user-language progress guidance.
+- Kept channel coverage for `tool_announcement` delivery when Quick
+  acknowledgement is off.
+
+---
+
+### Channel intermediate reply gating
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Quick acknowledgement off now suppresses the first pre-tool `block.reply`
+  even when explicit `gateway.block_reply` is enabled, so the initial
+  acknowledgement does not leak through the Intermediate Replies path.
+- Final reply dedup now uses channel-delivered interim state instead of raw
+  pipeline `block.reply` emit counts, avoiding false suppression when an
+  interim event was skipped.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added channel event coverage for quick acknowledgement disabled and
+  `quick_ack.mode = "off"` with explicit intermediate replies enabled.
+
+---
+
+### Agent-scoped git credentials (issue #117)
+
+**New**
+
+- Added agent-scoped Secure CLI credentials with PostgreSQL migration `000077`
+  and SQLite schema version `46`.
+- Added HTTP APIs under
+  `/v1/cli-credentials/{id}/agent-credentials/{agentId}` for listing,
+  reading metadata, saving, and deleting agent credentials.
+- Web CLI Credentials now exposes Agent Credentials as the primary git PAT/SSH
+  setup path, with User Credentials renamed to advanced personal overrides.
+
+**Security**
+
+- Runtime credential precedence is now user override, context credential, agent
+  credential, then binary env defaults.
+- Git adapter audit logs include `credential_source` without logging raw
+  secrets or plaintext host scopes.
+
+---
+
+## 2026-05-29
+
+### Passive channel memory extraction (issue #64)
+
+**New**
+
+- Added opt-in per-channel passive memory extraction from pending group buffers, with scheduled/manual runs, redaction before LLM extraction, review queue items, and deterministic channel memory source IDs.
+- Added PostgreSQL migration `000076` and SQLite schema version `45` for `channel_memory_extraction_runs` and `channel_memory_extraction_items`.
+- Added tenant-admin HTTP APIs and channel detail UI controls for settings, manual run, last run status, and approve/reject/delete review actions.
+
+**Security**
+
+- Feature is disabled by default and group-only in v1.
+- Review mode is on by default; approved items write to `episodic_summaries` with `source_type='channel'` and then enter the existing KG consolidation event path.
+- Delete removes the review item and associated episodic summary when present. Existing KG nodes created before deletion may require later dedup/cleanup; raw channel messages are not copied into the new extraction tables.
+
+---
+
+### Channel context admin surface (issue #66)
+
+**New**
+
+- Added channel context APIs under `/v1/channels/instances/{id}/contexts` for stored channel/group contexts, members, and effective MCP/Secure CLI capability matrix.
+- Added tenant-scoped context grants and context credentials for MCP servers and Secure CLI binaries, with PostgreSQL migration `000075` and SQLite schema version `44`.
+- Runtime tool execution now carries `ChannelContextScope`; MCP and Secure CLI resolution apply context grants/credentials before user credential overrides.
+- Web dashboard channel detail page now has a `Contexts` tab showing contexts, stored members, effective granted tools, and scoped credential presence without exposing secret values.
+
+**Security**
+
+- Context capability write APIs use tenant-admin checks.
+- Credential APIs return presence/metadata only; raw MCP API keys, headers/env values, and Secure CLI env values are never serialized.
+- MCP grant-check cache key includes channel scope so scoped grants do not leak across channel contexts.
+
+---
+
+### Group chat context in agent prompts
+
+**Features**
+
+- Added `## Current Chat Context` to agent system prompts for channel runs. Group chats now show platform, chat type, optional group name, group ID, and sender identity when metadata is available.
+- Preserved existing `<current_reply_target>` routing guard and group reply guidance while making the human-readable chat context explicit.
+- Added best-effort Discord channel title forwarding from the local `discordgo.State` cache. No hot-path REST lookup or schema change.
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Normalized WhatsApp `user_name` metadata into the existing sender-name resolver so WhatsApp group prompts can include sender display names.
+- Sanitized group titles and sender display names before prompt rendering to strip quotes/control whitespace and cap length.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added prompt contract coverage for group title, missing title, direct chats, and prompt-injection-shaped metadata.
+- Added Discord cached-channel-title and sender-name resolver coverage.
+
+---
+
+### Archived run timeline (issue #76)
+
+Adds persisted run archive timeline entries for session detail review.
+
+**New**
+
+- `run_timeline_items` schema for PostgreSQL and SQLite/Lite, with tenant/run
+  sequence uniqueness and session/run indexes.
+- Best-effort agent event recorder for `activity`, `assistant.message`,
+  `tool.call`, `tool.result`, and `run.status` entries.
+- HTTP `GET /v1/runs/{runID}/timeline` and WS `run.timeline.get` read APIs,
+  including tenant/user visibility filtering.
+- Web session detail timeline panel using the WS API and localized labels.
+
+**Security**
+
+- Tool arguments/results are persisted as bounded previews only.
+- Raw thinking/reasoning is not persisted.
+- Non-admin reads are filtered to the connected/effective user.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added store coverage for PG and SQLite, recorder tests, HTTP/WS API tests,
+  permission classification coverage, and UI display mapping tests.
+
+---
+
+### Shell security group disabled state persistence (issue #75)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Added regression coverage proving `config.patch` preserves explicit
+  `tools.shellDenyGroups` values set to `false` in memory, saved config JSON,
+  and follow-up `config.get` responses.
+- Aligned Claude CLI and ACP provider runtime registration with the saved
+  shell deny-group config. Provider-side deny patterns now derive from
+  `tools.ResolveDenyPatterns(cfg.Tools.ShellDenyGroups)` instead of static
+  defaults, so disabled groups stay disabled after reload/provider registration.
+- Re-registers existing Claude CLI/ACP provider runtimes on config changes so
+  settings-page saves affect runtime enforcement without restart.
+- Uses locked shell deny-group snapshots before HTTP provider registration, so
+  provider creation cannot race config reload while reading the override map.
+- Kept missing shell deny-group keys as inherited defaults; only explicit
+  `false` disables a group.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- `go test ./internal/gateway/methods -run 'TestConfigPatchPersists(InboundDebounceMs|ShellDenyGroupsFalse)' -count=1`
+- `go test ./internal/providers -run 'TestGenerateHookScript' -count=1`
+- `go test ./internal/providers/... -run 'ClaudeCLI|ACP|DenyPatterns|ToolBridge' -count=1`
+- `go test -race ./cmd -run 'TestShellDenyGroupsConfigReload_.*|TestConfiguredShellDenyPatternsDropsDisabledPackageInstall' -count=1`
+- `go vet ./...`
+- `go build ./...`
+- `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+
+---
+
+### Local-first document text extraction adapter (read_document privacy optimization)
+
+Adds optional local extraction pipeline to the `read_document` tool, allowing
+PDF and DOCX parsing via `pdftotext` (poppler-utils) and `pandoc` before
+falling back to cloud vision. Reduces token costs and improves privacy for
+document analysis when local binaries are available.
+
+**New**
+
+- `DocumentParser` interface + `LocalExtractParser` implementation in
+  `internal/tools/document_parser.go`. Handles PDF (`pdftotext`) and DOCX
+  (`pandoc`) with no-shell subprocess exec, binary detection, process-group
+  timeout kill (SIGTERM → 3s grace → SIGKILL), minimal subprocess environment,
+  and 500KB output limit.
+- `DocumentParserConfig` in `internal/config/config_channels.go` under `tools` section:
+  `local_first` (opt-in, default false), `max_pages` (default 200), `timeout_sec`
+  (default 30), `min_text_len` (default 16). Config is read at tool construction;
+  binary availability re-checked per call for runtime installs.
+- Integration in `read_document` tool: `SetLocalParser()` wired at gateway
+  startup (`cmd/gateway_managed.go`). On a clean extraction hit, returns text
+  with no LLM usage (zero tokens, no Provider/Model/Usage fields). Any miss
+  (disabled, unsupported mime, missing binary, timeout, empty output, exec
+  error) transparently falls back to the cloud vision chain unchanged.
+- Security: subprocess exec uses `exec.Command` (no shell), docPath validated
+  at the exec boundary, extracted text treated as untrusted, minimal env
+  (no gateway secrets), `pandoc --sandbox` for DOCX parsing.
+
+**Requirements**
+
+- Requires `pdftotext` and `pandoc` on PATH for local extraction. Present in:
+  - Docker `full` variant (`ghcr.io/nextlevelbuilder/goclaw:vX.Y.Z-full`)
+  - Builds with `-tags "" -X main.enableFullSkills=true` (when available)
+- Desktop Lite edition: local extraction wired but not user-configurable
+  (remains in code for future mobile/CLI usage; server/Docker only now).
+
+**Docs**
+
+- `docs/03-tools-system.md` § 5 — new `document_parser` config block with all
+  four fields, defaults, and fallback semantics.
+- `docs/03-tools-system.md` § 4 (Media Reading) — updated `read_document`
+  description to mention local-first extraction option.
+
+**Testing**
+
+- Behavior unchanged when `local_first: false` (default).
+- Verify local extraction when enabled: create test PDF/DOCX, enable config,
+  inspect tool output for zero-token response vs cloud vision (Gemini, etc.).
+
+---
+
+### Skill selected download export (issue #80)
+
+**Features**
+
+- Extended `GET /v1/skills/export` with selected skill IDs via repeated `id`
+  or comma-separated `ids`, while preserving the no-selection full export as
+  tenant custom-skill only by default.
+- Added archive format selection: `tar.gz`, `tgz` alias, and `zip`. Direct and
+  SSE download paths now return matching archive filenames and content types.
+- Selected exports can include system/core skills explicitly without changing
+  full backup defaults.
+- Archive output now preserves skill directory content such as `SKILL.md`,
+  `references/`, `scripts/`, and `assets/`, while skipping unsafe paths and
+  symlinks. Nested files named `metadata.json` or `grants.jsonl` remain
+  exportable; only generated root archive artifacts are skipped.
+- Archive assembly streams file contents into the writer and revalidates opened
+  files against the resolved skill root to avoid large in-memory reads and
+  symlink-swap escapes.
+- Web Skills page now supports Download from the detail dialog and Download
+  selected from the bulk toolbar, with format selection and EN/VI/ZH labels.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added backend coverage for export request parsing, archive writers, safe
+  directory walking, selected system/custom scope, and full export defaults.
+- Added web helper coverage for selected export URLs and archive filenames.
+
+---
+
+### Discord thread history and attachment backfill (issue #69)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Discord thread mentions now fetch recent thread messages before the triggering mention and prepend them as context for the agent run.
+- Prior thread image and document attachments are downloaded immediately and passed through the existing inbound media pipeline, so `read_image` and `read_document` can use files posted earlier in the thread.
+- Backfill is limited to addressed Discord threads, 25 prior messages, 15 attachments, 5 MB per backfilled file, and a 30-second timeout. Missing Discord history permission or REST failures fall back to the current message without crashing.
+
+---
+
+### Telegram voice transcription and read_audio fallback (issue #85)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Telegram voice/audio STT now preserves Telegram's detected MIME type, including `audio/ogg; codecs=opus`, instead of forcing every STT request to `audio/ogg`.
+- Telegram STT now resolves channel-scoped legacy proxy overrides by platform type `telegram`, so DB channel instances with custom names still select the Telegram override.
+- `read_audio` no longer sends unsupported audio routes as `providers.ImageContent`; unsupported provider/model combinations now fail closed with an audio-specific error that names supported routes.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added Telegram STT regression coverage for channel-type override selection and MIME preservation.
+- Added `read_audio` regression coverage proving unsupported providers are not called through chat/image fallback.
+
+---
+
+### RapidAPI cron SecureCLI diagnostics (issue #74)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Added a built-in `rapidapi` SecureCLI preset with required `RAPIDAPI_KEY`, 60s timeout, and verbose/debug flag denials.
+- Credentialed exec now validates required preset env keys before binary resolution, so missing RapidAPI credentials return a GoClaw diagnostic instead of downstream `RAPIDAPI_KEY required`.
+- Added safe SecureCLI env diagnostics that log env key names/count context only, never credential values.
+- Added `RAPIDAPI_KEY` to fall-through exec env scrubbing.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added RapidAPI preset contract and deny-pattern coverage.
+- Added credentialed exec regressions for missing RapidAPI env and successful direct exec with injected `RAPIDAPI_KEY`.
+
+---
+
+### Sandbox tenant workspace isolation (issue #68)
+
+**Security**
+
+- Scoped Docker sandbox workspace mounts to the effective tenant/session workspace from tool context instead of the global workspace root.
+- Kept the in-container UX stable: the effective workspace is mounted at `/workspace`.
+- Made Docker sandbox reuse workspace/config-aware so shared or agent-scoped containers cannot cross workspace boundaries.
+- Added fail-closed behavior when tenant-scoped sandbox execution has no effective workspace.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added unit coverage for effective sandbox workspace selection, `/workspace` cwd mapping, normal and credentialed sandbox exec, file-tool sandbox bridge mount selection, and Docker cache-key isolation.
+
+---
+
+### Human-like channel delivery MVP (issue #67)
+
+**New**
+
+- Added `gateway.chat_behavior` runtime config for global quick acknowledgement and safe final multi-message splitting.
+- Added per-channel `chat_behavior` override support for channel instances that already participate in channel delivery settings.
+- Quick acknowledgements are emitted only for non-streaming channel runs and are cancelled when a block reply or terminal event arrives.
+- Final splitting applies only to non-streaming text-only final replies; unsafe Markdown, code, tables, lists, quotes, JSON, and URL-only paragraphs stay as one message.
+- Added `chat_behavior.preview` RPC plus dashboard controls and per-channel override fields.
+
+**Validation**
+
+- Added Go coverage for config resolution, preview, conservative splitting, and non-streaming quick acknowledgement delivery.
+- Verified focused Go packages, both Go builds, `go vet`, web Vitest, web production build, and `git diff --check`.
+
+**Out of scope**
+
+- No archive/timeline storage, renderer, share/export, or interleaved run history changes. Those remain issue #76 scope.
+
+---
+
+### GitHub Releases update scratch dir fallback (issue #94)
+
+- Changed GitHub Releases package updates to prefer `{runtimeDir}/tmp` for
+  scratch extraction and staging, instead of deriving tmp from a release or
+  binary directory.
+- If `packages.scratch_dir` is configured but cannot be created, the update
+  executor now logs a warning and falls back to runtime tmp before failing.
+- Added regression tests for default scratch-dir selection and fallback from an
+  unusable configured scratch path.
+
+---
+
+### CLI Credentials git preset null-env crash (issue #93)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Stopped `/v1/cli-credentials/presets` from returning nullable preset arrays
+  for adapter-managed CLIs such as `git`; frontend now also normalizes older
+  `null` payloads defensively.
+- Allowed the `git` preset to create a SecureCLI binary without legacy env
+  vars and persisted its `adapter_name=git`, so the PAT/SSH user credential
+  flow activates after creation.
+- Guarded the preset env-var renderer against nullish `env_vars` to keep the
+  Runtime & Packages → CLI Credentials tab renderable.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added backend regression coverage for stable preset arrays and git preset
+  creation without legacy env.
+- Added frontend normalization coverage for nullable adapter-managed preset
+  arrays.
