 - Agents/current-time UTC anchor: append a machine-readable UTC suffix alongside local `Current time:` lines in shared cron-style prompt contexts so agents can compare UTC-stamped workspace timestamps without doing timezone math. (#32423) thanks @jriff.
 - TUI/webchat command-owner scope alignment: treat internal-channel gateway sessions with `operator.admin` as owner-authorized in command auth, restoring cron/gateway/connector tool access for affected TUI/webchat sessions while keeping external channels on identity-based owner checks. (from #35666, #35673, #35704) Thanks @Naylenv, @Octane0411, and @Sid-Qin.
 - Discord/inbound timeout isolation: separate inbound worker timeout tracking from listener timeout budgets so queued Discord replies are no longer dropped when listener watchdog windows expire mid-run. (#36602) Thanks @dutifulbob.
+- Memory/doctor SecretRef handling: treat SecretRef-backed memory-search API keys as configured, and fail embedding setup with explicit unresolved-secret errors instead of crashing. (#36835) Thanks @joshavant.
