@@ -88,6 +88,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Matrix/Telegram exec approvals: recover stored same-channel account bindings even when session reply state drifted to another channel, so foreign-channel approvals route to the bound account instead of fanning out or being rejected as ambiguous. (#60417) thanks @gumadeiras.
 - Slack/app manifest: set `bot_user.always_online` to `true` in the onboarding and example Slack app manifest so the Slack app appears ready to respond.
 - Gateway/websocket auth: refresh auth on new websocket connects after secrets reload so rotated gateway tokens take effect immediately without requiring a restart. (#60323) Thanks @mappel-nv.
+- Agents/workspace: respect `agents.defaults.workspace` for non-default agents by resolving them under the configured base path instead of falling back to `workspace-<id>`. (#59858) Thanks @joelnishanth.
