 - Cron: replay interrupted recurring jobs on the first gateway restart instead of waiting for a second restart. (#60583) Thanks @joelnishanth.
 - Plugins/media understanding: enable bundled Groq and Deepgram providers by default so configured transcription models work without extra plugin activation config. (#59982) Thanks @yxjsxy.
 - Plugins/Kimi Coding: parse tagged tool calls and keep Anthropic-native tool payloads so Kimi coding endpoints execute tools instead of echoing raw markup. (#60051, #60391)
+- Tools/web_search (Kimi): when `tools.web.search.kimi.baseUrl` is unset, inherit native Moonshot chat `baseUrl` (`.ai` / `.cn`) so China console keys authenticate on the same host as chat. Fixes #44851. (#56769) Thanks @tonga54.
 - Plugins/marketplace: block remote marketplace symlink escapes without breaking ordinary local marketplace install paths. (#60556) Thanks @eleqtrizit.
 - Plugins/install: preserve unsafe override flags across linked plugin and hook-pack probes so local `--link` installs honor the documented override behavior. (#60624) Thanks @JerrettDavis.
 - Config/All Settings: keep the raw config view intact when sensitive fields are blank instead of corrupting or dropping the rendered snapshot. (#28214) Thanks @solodmd.

 }
 ```
 
+If you use the China API host for chat (`models.providers.moonshot.baseUrl`:
+`https://api.moonshot.cn/v1`), OpenClaw reuses that same host for Kimi
+`web_search` when `tools.web.search.kimi.baseUrl` is omitted, so keys from
+[platform.moonshot.cn](https://platform.moonshot.cn/) do not hit the
+international endpoint by mistake (which often returns HTTP 401). Override
+with `tools.web.search.kimi.baseUrl` when you need a different search base URL.
+
 **Environment alternative:** set `KIMI_API_KEY` or `MOONSHOT_API_KEY` in the
 Gateway environment. For a gateway install, put it in `~/.openclaw/.env`.
