@@ -49,6 +49,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Discord/Typing indicator: prevent stuck typing indicators by sealing channel typing keepalive callbacks after idle/cleanup and ensuring Discord dispatch always marks typing idle even if preview-stream cleanup fails. (#26295) Thanks @ngutman.
 - Channels/Typing indicator: guard typing keepalive start callbacks after idle/cleanup close so post-close ticks cannot re-trigger stale typing indicators. (#26325) Thanks @win4r.
 - Followups/Typing indicator: ensure followup turns mark dispatch idle on every exit path (including `NO_REPLY`, empty payloads, and agent errors) so typing keepalive cleanup always runs and channel typing indicators do not get stuck after queued/silent followups. (#26881) Thanks @codexGW.
+- Slack/Allowlist channels: match channel IDs case-insensitively during channel allowlist resolution so lowercase config keys (for example `c0abc12345`) correctly match Slack runtime IDs (`C0ABC12345`) under `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`, preventing silent channel-event drops. (#26878) Thanks @lbo728.
 - Tests/Low-memory stability: disable Vitest `vmForks` by default on low-memory local hosts (`<64 GiB`), keep low-profile extension lane parallelism at 4 workers, and align cron isolated-agent tests with `setSessionRuntimeModel` usage to avoid deterministic suite failures. (#26324) Thanks @ngutman.
 - Slack/Inbound media fallback: deliver file-only messages even when Slack media downloads fail by adding a filename placeholder fallback, capping fallback names to the shared media-file limit, and normalizing empty filenames to `file` so attachment-only messages are not silently dropped. (#25181) Thanks @justinhuangcode.
