 ### Changes
 
+- Gateway/node pending work: add narrow in-memory pending-work queue primitives (`node.pending.enqueue` / `node.pending.drain`) and wake-helper reuse as a foundation for dormant-node work delivery. (#41409) Thanks @mbelinky.
+
 ### Breaking
 
 - Cron/doctor: tighten isolated cron delivery so cron jobs can no longer notify through ad hoc agent sends or fallback main-session summaries, and add `openclaw doctor --fix` migration for legacy cron storage and legacy notify/webhook delivery metadata. (#40998) Thanks @mbelinky.
