### Highlights

- **Sessions and memory:** preserved usage across registry changes, delivered worker attachments from remote workspaces, prevented queued cancellations and transcript aliases from stalling active turns, kept continuation signatures aligned, and migrated embedding caches in bounded batches with oversized-row reporting. (#164217, #164219, #163708, #164230, #164251, #164289, #164287, #164303) Thanks @vincentkoc and @RomneyDa.
- **Replies and media:** restored inline playback for local videos, replaced rejected media links with useful errors, kept Telegram progress updates free of preview cards, and fixed speech-only replies when reasoning is enabled. (#164137, #163727, #164285, #164256) Thanks @ivan-magda, @obviyus, and @Twilight-Networks.
- **Updates and Doctor:** improved serving-verdict recovery guidance, kept repairs working with read-only managed config, removed repeated config, backup, metadata, and pnpm-root probes, reported successful cleanup as progress without corrupting JSON output, and treated a still-starting Gateway as a warning.
