- Agents: derive overflow compaction budgets from provider-reported and synthetic over-budget token counts so confirmed context overflows compact before retrying. (#70473) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.

- Agents/Codex: recover Codex context-window prompt errors through overflow compaction and surface reset guidance when recovery is exhausted. (#85542) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.

- Agent transcript: include OpenClaw agent session logs when finding local transcript candidates.

- Sessions/doctor: load large session stores without clone amplification during read-only doctor checks and reclaim stale `sessions.json.*.tmp` sidecars. Fixes #56827. Thanks @openperf.

- Tests: clean successful plugin gateway gauntlet isolated temp roots while keeping an explicit preservation switch for failed/debug runs.

- Plugins/perf: reuse derived plugin metadata snapshots for the lifetime of the process so reply-time skill setup no longer rescans plugin metadata on every turn.
