## Plugin 1.1.0 (current build as of 2026-10-10)

- Package `@octopusprime/openclaw-channel-plugin` 1.1.0; channel and plugin id `octopus-prime`.
- Requires OpenClaw 2026.9.8 or newer (`openclaw.compat.pluginApi` `>=2026.9.8`, checked by OpenClaw at install).
- Loads on OpenClaw 2026.9.8; reconnects automatically, detects dead connections (no frame for 50 seconds) and redelivers after outages without losing messages.
- Adds the plugin Doctor contract (no config rewrites, no state migrations), so replacing an installed copy with `openclaw plugins install <plugin package> --force` works on OpenClaw 2026.9.8. Earlier builds could fail with `Plugin config repair could not be inspected`.
- Resolves symptoms of earlier builds: `prepared payload capability mismatch (thread)`, `The reply channel changed or cannot preserve its sender`, `Delivery platform claim was lost`.
- Connection protocol token unchanged: `2026.9.7`.
