 - ACP/client final-message delivery: preserve terminal assistant text snapshots before resolving `end_turn`, so ACP clients no longer drop the last visible reply when the gateway sends the final message body on the terminal chat event. (#17615) Thanks @pjeby.
 - Telegram/Discord status reactions: show a temporary compacting reaction during auto-compaction pauses and restore thinking afterward so the bot no longer appears frozen while context is being compacted. (#35474) thanks @Cypherm.
 - Delivery/dedupe: trim completed direct-cron delivery cache correctly and keep mirrored transcript dedupe active even when transcript files contain malformed lines. (#44666) thanks @frankekn.
+- CLI/thinking help: add the missing `xhigh` level hints to `openclaw cron add`, `openclaw cron edit`, and `openclaw agent` so the help text matches the levels already accepted at runtime. (#44819) Thanks @frankekn.
