 ### Fixes
 
+- Onboarding/local setup: default unset local `tools.profile` to `coding` instead of `messaging`, restoring file/runtime tools for fresh local installs while preserving explicit user-set profiles. (from #38241, overlap with #34958) Thanks @cgdusek.
 - Gateway/Telegram stale-socket restart guard: only apply stale-socket restarts to channels that publish event-liveness timestamps, preventing Telegram providers from being misclassified as stale solely due to long uptime and avoiding restart/pairing storms after upgrade. (openclaw#38464)
 - Onboarding/headless Linux daemon probe hardening: treat `systemctl --user is-enabled` probe failures as non-fatal during daemon install flow so onboarding no longer crashes on SSH/headless VPS environments before showing install guidance. (#37297) Thanks @acarbajal-web.
 - Memory/QMD mcporter Windows spawn hardening: when `mcporter.cmd` launch fails with `spawn EINVAL`, retry via bare `mcporter` shell resolution so QMD recall can continue instead of falling back to builtin memory search. (#27402) Thanks @i0ivi0i.
@@ -109,6 +110,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - TUI/session-key canonicalization: normalize `openclaw tui --session` values to lowercase so uppercase session names no longer drop real-time streaming updates due to gateway/TUI key mismatches. (#33866, #34013) thanks @lynnzc.
 - iMessage/echo loop hardening: strip leaked assistant-internal scaffolding from outbound iMessage replies, drop reflected assistant-content messages before they re-enter inbound processing, extend echo-cache text retention for delayed reflections, and suppress repeated loop traffic before it amplifies into queue overflow. (#33295) Thanks @joelnishanth.
 - Outbound/send config threading: pass resolved SecretRef config through outbound adapters and helper send paths so send flows do not reload unresolved runtime config. (#33987) Thanks @joshavant.
+- Secrets/models.json persistence hardening: keep SecretRef-managed api keys + headers from persisting in generated models.json, expand audit/apply coverage, and harden marker handling/serialization. (#38955) Thanks @joshavant.
 - Sessions/subagent attachments: remove `attachments[].content.maxLength` from `sessions_spawn` schema to avoid llama.cpp GBNF repetition overflow, and preflight UTF-8 byte size before buffer allocation while keeping runtime file-size enforcement unchanged. (#33648) Thanks @anisoptera.
 - Runtime/tool-state stability: recover from dangling Anthropic `tool_use` after compaction, serialize long-running Discord handler runs without blocking new inbound events, and prevent stale busy snapshots from suppressing stuck-channel recovery. (from #33630, #33583) Thanks @kevinWangSheng and @theotarr.
 - ACP/Discord startup hardening: clean up stuck ACP worker children on gateway restart, unbind stale ACP thread bindings during Discord startup reconciliation, and add per-thread listener watchdog timeouts so wedged turns cannot block later messages. (#33699) Thanks @dutifulbob.
@@ -240,6 +242,10 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - iOS/Quick Setup presentation: skip automatic Quick Setup when a gateway is already configured (active connect config, last-known connection, preferred gateway, or manual host), so reconnecting installs no longer get prompted to connect again. (#38964) Thanks @ngutman.
 - CLI/Docs memory help accuracy: clarify `openclaw memory status --deep` behavior and align memory command examples/docs with the current search options. (#31803) Thanks @JasonOA888 and @Avi974.
 - Config/invalid-load fail-closed: stop converting `INVALID_CONFIG` into an empty runtime config, keep valid settings available only through explicit best-effort diagnostic reads, and route read-only CLI diagnostics through that path so unknown keys no longer silently drop security-sensitive config. (#28140) Thanks @bobsahur-robot and @vincentkoc.
+- Auto-reply/allowlist store account scoping: keep `/allowlist ... --store` writes scoped to the selected account and clear legacy unscoped entries when removing default-account store access, preventing cross-account default allowlist bleed-through from legacy pairing-store reads. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting and @vincentkoc for the fix.
+- Security/Nostr: harden profile mutation/import loopback guards by failing closed on non-loopback forwarded client headers (`x-forwarded-for` / `x-real-ip`) and rejecting `sec-fetch-site: cross-site`; adds regression coverage for proxy-forwarded and browser cross-site mutation attempts.
+- CLI/bootstrap Node version hint maintenance: replace hardcoded nvm `22` instructions in `openclaw.mjs` with `MIN_NODE_MAJOR` interpolation so future minimum-Node bumps keep startup guidance in sync automatically. (#39056) Thanks @onstash.
+- Discord/native slash command auth: honor `commands.allowFrom.discord` (and `commands.allowFrom["*"]`) in guild slash-command pre-dispatch authorization so allowlisted senders are no longer incorrectly rejected as unauthorized. (#38794) Thanks @jskoiz and @thewilloftheshadow.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Dashboard/macOS auth handling: switch the macOS “Open Dashboard” flow from query-string token injection to URL fragments, stop persisting Control UI gateway tokens in browser localStorage, and scrub legacy stored tokens on load. Thanks @JNX03 for reporting.
 - Models/provider config precedence: prefer exact `models.providers.<name>` matches before normalized provider aliases in embedded model resolution, preventing alias/canonical key collisions from applying the wrong provider `api`, `baseUrl`, or headers. (#35934) thanks @RealKai42.
+- Hooks/auth throttling: reject non-`POST` `/hooks/*` requests before auth-failure accounting so unsupported methods can no longer burn the hook auth lockout budget and block legitimate webhook delivery. Thanks @JNX03 for reporting.
+- Network/fetch guard redirect auth stripping: switch cross-origin redirect handling in `fetchWithSsrFGuard` from a narrow sensitive-header denylist to a safe-header allowlist so custom auth headers like `X-Api-Key` and `Private-Token` no longer leak on origin changes. Thanks @Rickidevs for reporting.
 - Logging/Subsystem console timestamps: route subsystem console timestamp rendering through `formatConsoleTimestamp(...)` so `pretty` and timestamp-prefix output use local timezone formatting consistently instead of inline UTC `toISOString()` paths. (#25970) Thanks @openperf.
 - Feishu/Multi-account + reply reliability: add `channels.feishu.defaultAccount` outbound routing support with schema validation, prevent inbound preview text from leaking into prompt system events, keep quoted-message extraction text-first (post/interactive/file placeholders instead of raw JSON), route Feishu video sends as `msg_type: "file"`, and avoid websocket event blocking by using non-blocking event handling in monitor dispatch. Landed from contributor PRs #31209, #29610, #30432, #30331, and #29501. Thanks @stakeswky, @hclsys, @bmendonca3, @patrick-yingxi-pan, and @zwffff.
 - Feishu/Target routing + replies + dedupe: normalize provider-prefixed targets (`feishu:`/`lark:`), prefer configured `channels.feishu.defaultAccount` for tool execution, honor Feishu outbound `renderMode` in adapter text/caption sends, fall back to normal send when reply targets are withdrawn/deleted, and add synchronous in-memory dedupe guard for concurrent duplicate inbound events. Landed from contributor PRs #30428, #30438, #29958, #30444, and #29463. Thanks @bmendonca3 and @Yaxuan42.

 - If `gateway.auth.token` is configured as a SecretRef and is unresolved in your current shell, `openclaw dashboard` still prints a non-tokenized URL plus actionable auth setup guidance.
 - **Not localhost**: use Tailscale Serve (tokenless for Control UI/WebSocket if `gateway.auth.allowTailscale: true`, assumes trusted gateway host; HTTP APIs still need token/password), tailnet bind with a token, or an SSH tunnel. See [Web surfaces](/web).
