@@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Docs/tool-loop detection config keys: align `docs/tools/loop-detection.md` examples and field names with the current `tools.loopDetection` schema to prevent copy-paste validation failures from outdated keys. (#33182) Thanks @Mylszd.
 - Discord/presence defaults: send an online presence update on ready when no custom presence is configured so bots no longer appear offline by default. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Discord/typing cleanup: stop typing indicators after silent/NO_REPLY runs by marking the run complete before dispatch idle cleanup. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+- Discord/voice messages: request upload slots with JSON fetch calls so voice message uploads no longer fail with content-type errors. Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Telegram/DM draft finalization reliability: require verified final-text draft emission before treating preview finalization as delivered, and fall back to normal payload send when final draft delivery is not confirmed (preventing missing final responses and preserving media/button delivery). (#32118) Thanks @OpenCils.
 - Discord/audit wildcard warnings: ignore "\*" wildcard keys when counting unresolved guild channels so doctor/status no longer warns on allow-all configs. (#33125) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
 - Discord/channel resolution: default bare numeric recipients to channels, harden allowlist numeric ID handling with safe fallbacks, and avoid inbound WS heartbeat stalls. (#33142) Thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
