Restart recovery

OpenClaw now recovers stranded conversations and keeps active work going through a Node restart. A replayed sibling completion stays attached to the input that originally requested it.
Telegram long pastes

Chunks inside a 300 ms quiet window become a single turn.
Telegram used to turn one long paste into partial prompts and several replies. Chunks that arrive within 300 milliseconds now form one turn. A batching window of zero turns that off.

OpenClaw 2026.9.6Check your allowlist, TypeSafe and the opus alias
