Changelog — v0.7.3 → v0.7.4

The first patch release on top of the v0.7.x workspace foundation. v0.7.4 lands a
clean-room Matrix rewrite, a Mozilla Fluent i18n pipeline with multi-locale docs, a
ground-up rewrite of the CLI/TUI onboarding flow, recovers the WeChat iLink Bot channel. Around 110 commits from 36 contributors covering
channels, providers, web dashboard, security, and developer experience.

Highlights

• Multi-locale docs and i18n pipeline — A Mozilla Fluent-based i18n pipeline now
  drives a multi-locale mdBook, alongside a comprehensive docs overhaul (#5788). Header
  links point at the upstream repo (#6124) and the CNAME is preserved on every Pages
  deploy (#6142).

• Onboarding clean-slate rewrite — zeroclaw onboard is now schema-driven,
  idempotent, and DRY (#5960). It picks up a generic OpenAI-compatible /v1/models
  fallback for unknown providers (#6056) and uses container-aware URLs for local AI
  providers running in Docker (#5552).

• Session management surface — New SessionResetTool, SessionDeleteTool, and
  SessionsCurrentTool give the agent first-class control over its own sessions
  (#5696, #6033). The gateway gained a session abort endpoint with incremental streaming
  persistence (#5705).

• WeChat iLink Bot channel recovered — The previously reverted iLink Bot
  integration is back, ported to current trait surfaces (#6130). request_approval()
  is now implemented across Discord, Slack, Signal, Matrix, and WhatsApp.

• Voice foundation — A new Vad trait and VoiceEvent protocol land behind a
  gateway-voice-duplex feature flag, paving the way for live voice channels (#5942).

• PostgreSQL memory backend — Memory can now be persisted to PostgreSQL via a new
  memory-postgres backend.

• Matrix channel rewritten — A clean-room reimplementation on matrix-rust-sdk 0.16
  replaces the long-running patch pile. E2EE auto-verification of allowed_users is
  preserved, and the channel is markedly simpler to operate (#6112).

What's New

Architecture & Workspace

• Decoupled gateway and tui-onboarding from agent-runtime, so each can be
  compiled without dragging in the full agent loop (#5735).
• SessionBackend trait gained clear_messages() for O(1) session reset (#5900) and
  get_session_metadata(key) for typed metadata access (#6043).
• Hardware crate: wizard UI moved from main.rs into zeroclaw_hardware::wizard for
  reuse outside the binary (#6041).
• Web router refactor for clearer route ownership (#6176).
• Tools: rate-limiting delegated to wrappers for glob_search and content_search
  (#5772); session validation now uses typed errors (#6135).

Agent & Runtime

• prune_history Phase 1 now treats mixed-protection tool groups as atomic, preventing
  partial pruning that left the conversation in an invalid state (#5828).
• Self-heals orphaned tool_result blocks on session load and on compaction (#5853).
• Sandbox auto-detection now respects runtime.kind = "native" (#5904).
• runtime.kind is detected for memcg availability at daemon startup (#5906).

Providers

• OpenRouter: extra_body passthrough for arbitrary request params (#5623); the
  upstream stream task is now aborted when the consumer drops the stream (#5830).
• MiniMax native tool calling is now enabled (#6027).
• Bedrock omits temperature for Opus 4.7, matching the model's API contract
  (#6144).
• Gemini / OpenRouter tool-call compatibility fixes plus clearer
  google_workspace schema (#5975).
• Groq: native tool calling is now disabled where it was misbehaving (#5848).
• strip_native_tool_messages now coalesces adjacent assistant turns (#5829).

Channels

• Matrix: clean-room rewrite on matrix-rust-sdk 0.16 replacing the prior
  long-running patch series (#6112).
• WeChat iLink Bot: channel recovered from the bulk revert in PR #4221 (#6130).
• Slack: strict_mention_in_thread option lets you require an @-mention even in
  threads where the agent has previously replied (#5992).
• IRC: mention_only config option for IRC channels (#5998).
• Telegram: bot command list updated (#5691); request_approval now forwards the
  message_thread_id (#5970); auto-injected topic-root reply context is skipped in
  forum topics (#5969).
• IMAP: polling fallback for servers that don't support IDLE (#5712).
• ACP: defaultModel resolves from config and is null when unconfigured (#6013);
  tool output formatting corrected (#6035); INFO logs suppressed and missing ACP spec
  protocol implemented (#5c81d4e).
• Discord, Slack, Signal, Matrix, WhatsApp: request_approval() implemented across
  the channel set, unblocking approval-gated tool flows on every supported chat
  platform.
• Feishu: mention_only config wired through (#5848).
