@@ -151,6 +151,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Image generation/providers: stop inferring private-network access from configured OpenAI, MiniMax, and fal image base URLs, and cap shared HTTP error-body reads so hostile or misconfigured endpoints fail closed without relaxing SSRF policy or buffering unbounded error payloads. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Browser/host inspection: keep static Chrome inspection helpers out of the activated browser runtime so `openclaw doctor browser` and related checks do not eagerly load the bundled browser plugin. (#59471) Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Browser/CDP: normalize trailing-dot localhost absolute-form hosts before loopback checks so remote CDP websocket URLs like `ws://localhost.:...` rewrite back to the configured remote host. (#59236) Thanks @mappel-nv.
+- Browser/attach-only profiles: disconnect cached Playwright CDP sessions when stopping attach-only or remote CDP profiles, while still reporting never-started local managed profiles as not stopped. (#60097) Thanks @pedh.
 - Agents/output sanitization: strip namespaced `antml:thinking` blocks from user-visible text so Anthropic-style internal monologue tags do not leak into replies. (#59550) Thanks @obviyus.
 - Kimi Coding/tools: normalize Anthropic tool payloads into the OpenAI-compatible function shape Kimi Coding expects so tool calls stop losing required arguments. (#59440) Thanks @obviyus.
 - Image tool/paths: resolve relative local media paths against the agent `workspaceDir` instead of `process.cwd()` so inputs like `inbox/receipt.png` pass the local-path allowlist reliably. (#57222) Thanks Priyansh Gupta.
