 ### Fixes
 
+- Discord/Block streaming: restore block-streamed reply delivery by suppressing only reasoning payloads (instead of all `block` payloads), fixing missing Discord replies in `channels.discord.streaming=block` mode. (#25839, #25836, #25792) Thanks @pewallin.
+- Matrix/Read receipts: send read receipts as soon as Matrix messages arrive (before handler pipeline work), so clients no longer show long-lived unread/sent states while replies are processing. (#25841, #25840) Thanks @joshjhall.
+- Sandbox/FS bridge: build canonical-path shell scripts with newline separators (not `; ` joins) to avoid POSIX `sh` `do;` syntax errors that broke sandbox file/image read-write operations. (#25737, #25824, #25868) Thanks @DennisGoldfinger and @peteragility.
 - Routing/Session isolation: harden followup routing so explicit cross-channel origin replies never fall back to the active dispatcher on route failure, preserve queued overflow summary routing metadata (`channel`/`to`/`thread`) across followup drain, and prefer originating channel context over internal provider tags for embedded followup runs. This prevents webchat/control-ui context from hijacking Discord-targeted replies in shared sessions. (#25864) Thanks @Gamedesigner.
 - Messaging tool dedupe: treat originating channel metadata as authoritative for same-target `message.send` suppression in proactive runs (heartbeat/cron/exec-event), including synthetic-provider contexts, so `delivery-mirror` transcript entries no longer cause duplicate Telegram sends. (#25835) Thanks @jadeathena84-arch.
 - Cron/Heartbeat delivery: stop inheriting cached session `lastThreadId` for heartbeat-mode target resolution unless a thread/topic is explicitly requested, so announce-mode cron and heartbeat deliveries stay on top-level destinations instead of leaking into active conversation threads. (#25730) Thanks @markshields-tl.
