 - Exec/child commands: mark child command environments with `OPENCLAW_CLI` so subprocesses can detect when they were launched from the OpenClaw CLI. (#41411) Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - iOS/Home canvas: add a bundled welcome screen with a live agent overview that refreshes on connect, reconnect, and foreground return, and move the compact connection pill off the top-left canvas overlay. (#42456) Thanks @ngutman.
 - iOS/Home canvas: replace floating controls with a docked toolbar, make the bundled home scaffold adapt to smaller phones, and open chat in the resolved main session instead of a synthetic `ios` session. (#42456) Thanks @ngutman.
+- Discord/auto threads: add `autoArchiveDuration` channel config for auto-created threads so Discord thread archiving can stay at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, or 1 week instead of always using the 1-hour default. (#35065) Thanks @davidguttman.
