+### Release readiness and compatibility fixes

+- Restored orchestration snapshot and thread detail compatibility across shared contracts and WebSocket methods so the current server and web builds agree on the runtime payload shape.
+- Added a pending user input projection backfill migration so already-upgraded state directories do not fail startup or tests with a missing projection table.
+- Improved OpenClaw gateway handshake diagnostics to report websocket-stage versus handshake-stage failures clearly, including pairing-required responses.
+- Isolated CLI test state directories to avoid SQLite lock contention during the full local release validation suite.
+- Tuned long user-message timeline height estimation so the browser chat layout stays aligned with the validated rendering path.

 ### Maintainer tooling
