* Gateway: scrub credentials from endpoint snapshots

* Gateway: scrub raw endpoint credentials in snapshots

* Gateway: preserve config redaction round-trips

* Gateway: restore redacted endpoint URLs on apply

@@ -30,6 +30,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Zalo Personal/group gating: stop reapplying `dmPolicy.allowFrom` as a sender gate for already-allowlisted groups when `groupAllowFrom` is unset, so any member of an allowed group can trigger replies while DMs stay restricted. (#40146)
 - Browser/remote CDP: honor strict browser SSRF policy during remote CDP reachability and `/json/version` discovery checks, redact sensitive `cdpUrl` tokens from status output, and warn when remote CDP targets private/internal hosts.
 - Plugins/install precedence: keep bundled plugins ahead of auto-discovered globals by default, but let an explicitly installed plugin record win its own duplicate-id tie so installed channel plugins load from `~/.openclaw/extensions` after `openclaw plugins install`.
+- Gateway/config views: strip embedded credentials from URL-based endpoint fields before returning read-only account and config snapshots. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Tools/apply-patch: revalidate workspace-only delete and directory targets immediately before mutating host paths. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Webhooks/runtime: move auth earlier and tighten pre-auth body limits and timeouts across bundled webhook handlers, including slow-body handling for Mattermost slash commands. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Subagents/follow-ups: require the same controller ownership checks for `/subagents send` as other control actions, so leaf sessions cannot message nested child runs they do not control. Thanks @vincentkoc.
