- #52212: \[Bug\]: Non-edit platforms silently drop all tool progress — can_edit evaluated AFTER edit_message guard
- PR #52221: fix(gateway): deliver progress in separate mode on non-edit platforms (#52212)

These issues and pull requests address a bug where tool progress updates are silently dropped on non-editing platforms (such as WeChat, QQ, and Signal), apparently because edit capability is checked too late in the message delivery flow. The work involves allowing progress delivery in a separate grouping mode for these platforms.
