 - Made Telegram reference-client capability diagnostics safe for TUI embedding.
 - A Telegram notification daemon whose reconciliation pass fails no longer exits. The pass persists through the shared topic authority, and a momentarily unavailable authority (lock contention or a rejected compare-and-set) rejected out of both the scan timer and the run loop into the process-level fatal handler, killing the owner. Every session topic was then left behind as an unarchived shell that answers nothing — including for sessions that were still live and lost their notifications. The pass now reports the failure and the next scan interval retries it; the queue-flush timer is guarded the same way.
 - MiniMax M3 preset and profile ids canonicalized to `MiniMax-M3` (issue #3896): the `minimax` / `minimax-cn` onboarding presets and the `minimax-eco` / `minimax-medium` / `minimax-pro` builtin model profiles no longer reference the removed lowercase `minimax-m3` / `minimax-v3` first-class catalog ids.
+- Slash commands now expand in non-interactive runs. `gjc -p "/init"` previously reached the model as the literal text `/init`, so no command body was injected, no file was written, and the model still answered as if the command had run. Print mode now loads the same bundled and file-based command list interactive mode uses before it prompts.
 - `gjc plugin install <name>` now names the marketplaces that offer `<name>` when the npm resolution it falls back to fails, so a plugin name copied out of `gjc plugin discover` no longer dead-ends on a bare `install_failed`.
 - A remote multi-select ask now shows what is already selected. The ask tool re-issues one remote request per toggle, but the request carried no selection state, so Telegram kept posting an identical prompt with no sign that option 1 had been picked — the checkbox rendering existed only for durable workflow gates. `AskAnswerRequest` now carries `multi` and the selected option labels, the notification bus publishes them as `selectedOptionIndices` with the `(N selected)` question prefix while keeping the ask tool's own Next/Done control, and pre-numbered options (deep interview) are renumbered once instead of rendering as `1. ☑ 1. …`.
