 - CLI/Config: add canonical `--strict-json` parsing for `config set` and keep `--json` as a legacy alias to reduce help/behavior drift. (#21332) thanks @adhitShet.
 - CLI: keep `openclaw -v` as a root-only version alias so subcommand `-v, --verbose` flags (for example ACP/hooks/skills) are no longer intercepted globally. (#21303) thanks @adhitShet.
 - Config/Memory: restore schema help/label metadata for hybrid `mmr` and `temporalDecay` settings so configuration surfaces show correct names and guidance. (#18786) Thanks @rodrigouroz.
+- Memory: return empty snippets when `memory_get`/QMD read files that have not been created yet, and harden memory indexing/session helpers against ENOENT races so missing Markdown no longer crashes tools. (#20680) Thanks @pahdo.
 - Tools/web_search: handle xAI Responses API payloads that emit top-level `output_text` blocks (without a `message` wrapper) so Grok web_search no longer returns `No response` for those results. (#20508) Thanks @echoVic.
 - Telegram/Streaming: always clean up draft previews even when dispatch throws before fallback handling, preventing orphaned preview messages during failed runs. (#19041) thanks @mudrii.
 - Telegram/Streaming: split reasoning and answer draft preview lanes to prevent cross-lane overwrites, and ignore literal `<think>` tags inside inline/fenced code snippets so sample markup is not misrouted as reasoning. (#20774) Thanks @obviyus.
