 - **WhatsApp restart recovery:** stop automatic restart loops after logged-out or connection-replaced disconnects until the account reconnects. (#78511) Thanks @openperf.
 - **Local Gateway CLI auth:** keep loopback CLI token/password calls off durable device scopes so read probes cannot block later write/admin commands behind a stale pairing baseline. (#95997) Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- **Plugin module identity:** keep OpenClaw package chunks on Node's native module graph when jiti transforms plugin entries, preventing duplicate evaluation and class identity drift. (#88384) Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - **iMessage group warnings:** suppress the false drop-all startup warning when an effective group sender allowlist can admit groups, and point true empty-allowlist configurations at the correct remedy. (#100046)
 - **Control UI mobile login:** keep Gateway recovery guidance visible after connection failures, make the disconnected gate scroll safely on constrained screens, and improve mobile keyboard and tap-target behavior. (#100208)
