 - Outbound text, Markdown parsing, opt-in edit-message streaming, long-message splitting, edits, deletes, typing, and presence.
 - Inline reply-thread routing, explicit-request auto mode, `/threads` controls, explicit `/follow` and `/unfollow` dialog relevance controls, parent chat metadata, parent/thread prompt fallback, and thread-specific skill bindings.
 - Native Hermes `inline` tool for current-chat/thread reads, bounded history and search, exact message lookup, editing/deleting bot-owned messages, reactions, pin/unpin/list pins, reply-thread creation, and avatar presence/status.
-- Per-turn Inline sender/chat/thread IDs, selective reply/thread/observed context, and parent-thread context, with prompt guidance for sender mentions and current chat/thread Markdown links.
+- Cached, privacy-safe sender names/usernames plus chat/thread IDs, selective reply/thread/observed context, and parent-thread context, with first-name/username Markdown mention guidance and current chat/thread links.
 - OpenClaw-style entity summaries for live turns and tool-fetched history, including mentions, text links, thread links, thread-title links, code/pre blocks, bot commands, and group mentions as untrusted Hermes context.
 - DM and group policies, user allowlists, group sender allowlists, mention requirements, strict mention mode, allowed chats, and free-response chats.
 - Native Inline `/` command-menu sync for Hermes slash commands, including `/threads`, `/follow`, `/unfollow`, `/inline_update`, and `/update`; typed slash commands continue to work even if menu sync is disabled or rejected.
