@@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Telegram/direct sessions: keep commentary-only assistant fallback payloads out of visible direct delivery, so Codex planning chatter cannot leak into Telegram DMs when a run has no `final_answer` text. (#65112) Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Infra/net: fix multipart FormData fields (including `model`) being silently dropped when a guarded runtime fetch body crosses a FormData implementation boundary, restoring OpenAI audio transcription requests that failed with HTTP 400. (#64349) Thanks @petr-sloup.
 - Dreaming/diary: use the host local timezone for diary timestamps when `dreaming.timezone` is unset, so `DREAMS.md` and the UI stop defaulting to UTC. (#65034) Thanks @neo1027144-creator and @vincentkoc.
+- Dreaming/diary: include the timezone abbreviation in diary timestamps so `DREAMS.md` and the UI make UTC or local host time explicit. (#65057) Thanks @Yanhu007 and @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/memory: restore cached memory capability public artifacts on plugin-registry cache hits so memory-backed artifact surfaces stay visible after warm loads. Thanks @sercada and @vincentkoc.
 - Gateway/cron: preserve requested isolated-agent config across runtime reloads so subagent jobs and heartbeat overrides keep the right workspace and heartbeat settings when the hot-loaded snapshot is stale. Thanks @l0cka and @vincentkoc.
 - Gateway/plugins: always send a non-empty `idempotencyKey` for plugin subagent runs, so dreaming narrative jobs stop failing gateway schema validation. (#65354) Thanks @CodeForgeNet and @vincentkoc.
