Summary

Tlon cite expansion happened before channel and DM authorization completed, allowing cite work and content handling before the final auth decision.

Release Status

Code-Level Confirmation

• extensions/tlon/src/monitor/index.ts now defers cite expansion until after authorization and preserves explicit empty-allowlist semantics.
• extensions/tlon/src/monitor/utils.ts and extensions/tlon/src/security.test.ts ship the deferred cite expansion behavior and regressions.

OpenClaw thanks @zpbrent for reporting.
