- Security: fix unauthenticated Nostr profile API remote config tampering. (#13719) Thanks @coygeek.
- Security: remove bundled soul-evil hook. (#14757) Thanks @Imccccc.
- Security/Web tools: treat browser/web content as untrusted by default (wrapped outputs for browser snapshot/tabs/console and structured external-content metadata for web tools), and strip `toolResult.details` from model-facing transcript/compaction inputs to reduce prompt-injection replay risk.
- Gateway: raise WS payload/buffer limits so 5,000,000-byte image attachments work reliably. (#14486) Thanks @0xRaini.
- Logging/CLI: use local timezone timestamps for console prefixing, and include `±HH:MM` offsets when using `openclaw logs --local-time` to avoid ambiguity. (#14771) Thanks @0xRaini.
- Gateway: drain active turns before restart to prevent message loss. (#13931) Thanks @0xRaini.
