[Release] openclaw/openclaw v2026.4.25: OpenClaw 2026.4.25

OpenClaw v2026.4.25 delivers major upgrades across voice synthesis, plugin architecture, observability, and browser automation. TTS now supports multiple providers (Azure Speech, Xiaomi, ElevenLabs v3, etc.) with chat-scoped controls and per-agent overrides. Plugin startup paths move to a cold persisted registry for deterministic operations and reduced manifest scanning. OpenTelemetry coverage expands across model calls, token usage, and tool loops with bounded attributes. Browser automation gains safer tab URLs, iframe-aware snapshots, and improved CDP readiness. Control UI adds PWA/Web Push support and enhanced setup flows.

• TTS system completely redesigned: `/tts latest` for read-aloud, `/tts chat on|off|default` for session-scoped auto-TTS, plus per-agent and per-account overrides with 8+ provider support (Azure Speech, Xiaomi, Local CLI, Inworld, Volcengine, ElevenLabs v3)
• Plugin registry migrated to cold persisted storage: eliminates broad manifest scans, makes plugin updates/repairs/discovery deterministic, and improves install metadata handling
• OpenTelemetry instrumentation expanded: covers model calls, token usage, tool loops, harness runs, exec processes, outbound delivery, context assembly, and memory pressure with low-cardinality bounded attributes
• +7 more key points...
