## What changed


- Google Chat DMs no longer treated as group conversations; Space/group routing unchanged
- Discord, Telegram and WhatsApp replies stay bound to the intended conversation across retries, reconnects, session changes and group changes
- Background image/video/music results return to the requesting chat instead of failing or going to the wrong peer
- Telegram: quoted-message replies attach to the current question; native reactions no longer leak instructions; progress bubbles cleared before tool output; webhook survives channel restarts and config reloads
- Reasoning-model heartbeat checks no longer expose internal reasoning in channel output (opt-in Thinking messages still work)
- Matrix E2EE gateway memory leak fixed — previously grew until a crash took channels and in-flight work down
- iMessage: command-plus-link messages coalesce into one turn; stops replying to its own delayed echoes
- QQBot group admins can scope slash-command availability; private-only commands redirect to a private chat
- Feishu voice replies show audio duration
- Discord `message_tool_only` turns no longer log a false failure on successful sends
