+### Fixes
+- Auto-reply: suppress draft/typing streaming for `NO_REPLY` (silent system ops) so it doesn’t leak partial output.
+- CLI/Status: expand tables to full terminal width; clarify provider setup vs runtime warnings; richer per-provider detail; token previews in `status` while keeping `status --all` redacted; add troubleshooting link footer; keep log tails pasteable; show gateway auth used when reachable; surface provider runtime errors (Signal/iMessage/Slack); harden `tailscale status --json` parsing; make `status --all` scan progress determinate; and replace the footer with a 3-line “Next steps” recommendation (share/debug/probe).

+- CLI/Update: gate progress spinner on stdout TTY and align clean-check step label. (#701) — thanks @bjesuiter.
+- Telegram: add `/whoami` + `/id` commands to reveal sender id for allowlists; allow `@username` and prefixed ids in `allowFrom` prompts (with stability warning).

+- WhatsApp: fix group reactions by preserving message IDs and sender JIDs in history; normalize participant phone numbers to JIDs in outbound reactions. (#640) — thanks @mcinteerj.
+- WhatsApp: expose group participant IDs to the model so reactions can target the right sender.
+- Cron: `wakeMode: "now"` waits for heartbeat completion (and retries when the main lane is busy). (#666) — thanks @roshanasingh4.
+- Agents/OpenAI: fix Responses tool-only → follow-up turn handling (avoid standalone `reasoning` items that trigger 400 “required following item”) and replay reasoning items in Responses/Codex Responses history for tool-call-only turns.
+- Sandbox: add `clawdbot sandbox explain` (effective policy inspector + fix-it keys); improve “sandbox jail” tool-policy/elevated errors with actionable config key paths; link to docs.

+- Gateway/Control UI: sniff image attachments for chat.send, drop non-images, and log mismatches. (#670) — thanks @cristip73.
+- macOS: force `restart-mac.sh --sign` to require identities and keep bundled Node signed for relay verification. (#580) — thanks @jeffersonwarrior.
+- Gateway/Agent: accept image attachments on `agent` (multimodal message) and add live gateway image probe (`CLAWDBOT_LIVE_GATEWAY_IMAGE_PROBE=1`).
+- CLI: `clawdbot sessions` now includes `elev:*` + `usage:*` flags in the table output.
+- CLI/Pairing: accept positional provider for `pairing list|approve` (npm-run compatible); update docs/bot hints.
+- Branding: normalize user-facing “ClawdBot”/“CLAWDBOT” → “Clawdbot” (CLI, status, docs).
+- Auto-reply: fix native `/model` not updating the actual chat session (Telegram/Slack/Discord). (#646)
+- Doctor: offer to run `clawdbot update` first on git installs (keeps doctor output aligned with latest).
+- Doctor: avoid false legacy workspace warning when install dir is `~/clawdbot`. (#660)
+- iMessage: fix reasoning persistence across DMs; avoid partial/duplicate replies when reasoning is enabled. (#655) — thanks @antons.

+- Tests/Agents: add regression coverage for workspace tool path resolution and bash cwd defaults.
+- iOS/Android: enable stricter concurrency/lint checks; fix Swift 6 strict concurrency issues + Android lint errors (ExifInterface, obsolete SDK check). (#662) — thanks @KristijanJovanovski.
+- Auth: read Codex CLI keychain tokens on macOS before falling back to `~/.codex/auth.json`, preventing stale refresh tokens from breaking gateway live tests.
+- iOS/macOS: share `AsyncTimeout`, require explicit `bridgeStableID` on connect, and harden tool display defaults (avoids missing-resource label fallbacks).
+- Telegram: serialize media-group processing to avoid missed albums under load.

+
+## 2026.1.8
+
+### Highlights
+- Security: DMs locked down by default across providers; pairing-first + allowlist guidance.
+- Sandbox: per-agent scope defaults + workspace access controls; tool/session isolation tuned.
+- Agent loop: compaction, pruning, streaming, and error handling hardened.

+- Control UI: logs tab, streaming stability, focus mode, and large-output rendering fixes.
+- CLI/Gateway/Doctor: daemon/logs/status, auth migration, and diagnostics significantly expanded.
+
+### Breaking
+- **SECURITY (update ASAP):** inbound DMs are now **locked down by default** on Telegram/WhatsApp/Signal/iMessage/Discord/Slack.
+  - Previously, if you didn’t configure an allowlist, your bot could be **open to anyone** (especially discoverable Telegram bots).
+  - New default: DM pairing (`dmPolicy="pairing"` / `discord.dm.policy="pairing"` / `slack.dm.policy="pairing"`).
+  - To keep old “open to everyone” behavior: set `dmPolicy="open"` and include `"*"` in the relevant `allowFrom` (Discord/Slack: `discord.dm.allowFrom` / `slack.dm.allowFrom`).
+  - Approve requests via `clawdbot pairing list <provider>` + `clawdbot pairing approve <provider> <code>`.
+- Sandbox: default `agent.sandbox.scope` to `"agent"` (one container/workspace per agent). Use `"session"` for per-session isolation; `"shared"` disables cross-session isolation.
+- Timestamps in agent envelopes are now UTC (compact `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mmZ`); removed `messages.timestampPrefix`. Add `agent.userTimezone` to tell the model the user’s local time (system prompt only).
+- Model config schema changes (auth profiles + model lists); doctor auto-migrates and the gateway rewrites legacy configs on startup.
+- Commands: gate all slash commands to authorized senders; add `/compact` to manually compact session context.
+- Groups: `whatsapp.groups`, `telegram.groups`, and `imessage.groups` now act as allowlists when set. Add `"*"` to keep allow-all behavior.
+- Auto-reply: removed `autoReply` from Discord/Slack/Telegram channel configs; use `requireMention` instead (Telegram topics now support `requireMention` overrides).
+- CLI: remove `update`, `gateway-daemon`, `gateway {install|uninstall|start|stop|restart|daemon status|wake|send|agent}`, and `telegram` commands; move `login/logout` to `providers login/logout` (top-level aliases hidden); use `daemon` for service control, `send`/`agent`/`wake` for RPC, and `nodes canvas` for canvas ops.
+
+### Fixes
+- **CLI/Gateway/Doctor:** daemon runtime selection + improved logs/status/health/errors; auth/password handling for local CLI; richer close/timeout details; auto-migrate legacy config/sessions/state; integrity checks + repair prompts; `--yes`/`--non-interactive`; `--deep` gateway scans; better restart/service hints.
+- **Agent loop + compaction:** compaction/pruning tuning, overflow handling, safer bootstrap context, and per-provider threading/confirmations; opt-in tool-result pruning + compact tracking.
+- **Sandbox + tools:** per-agent sandbox overrides, workspaceAccess controls, session tool visibility, tool policy overrides, process isolation, and tool schema/timeout/reaction unification.
+- **Providers (Telegram/WhatsApp/Discord/Slack/Signal/iMessage):** retry/backoff, threading, reactions, media groups/attachments, mention gating, typing behavior, and error/log stability; long polling + forum topic isolation for Telegram.
+- **Gateway/CLI UX:** `clawdbot logs`, cron list colors/aliases, docs search, agents list/add/delete flows, status usage snapshots, runtime/auth source display, and `/status`/commands auth unification.
+- **Control UI/Web:** logs tab, focus mode polish, config form resilience, streaming stability, tool output caps, windowed chat history, and reconnect/password URL auth.
+- **macOS/Android/TUI/Build:** macOS gateway races, QR bundling, JSON5 config safety, Voice Wake hardening; Android EXIF rotation + APK naming/versioning; TUI key handling; tooling/bundling fixes.
+- **Packaging/compat:** npm dist folder coverage, Node 25 qrcode-terminal import fixes, Bun/Playwright/WebSocket patches, and Docker Bun install.
+- **Docs:** new FAQ/ClawdHub/config examples/showcase entries and clarified auth, sandbox, and systemd docs.
+
+### Maintenance
+- Skills additions (Himalaya email, CodexBar, 1Password).
+- Dependency refreshes (pi-* stack, Slack SDK, discord-api-types, file-type, zod, Biome, Vite).
+- Refactors: centralized group allowlist/mention policy; lint/import cleanup; switch tsx → bun for TS execution.
+

+- Agent tools: OpenAI-compatible tool JSON Schemas (fix `browser`, normalize union schemas).
+- Onboarding: when running from source, auto-build missing Control UI assets (`bun run ui:build`).
+- Discord/Slack: route reaction + system notifications to the correct session (no main-session bleed).
+- Agent tools: honor `agent.tools` allow/deny policy even when sandbox is off.
