Bridge server lifecycle:
- Move createBridgeServer() out of register() into an api.on("gateway_start", ...)
handler. register() runs in every CLI subprocess that loads plugins
(e.g. `openclaw completion`, `openclaw doctor`); eagerly binding the
bridge HTTP listener there could pin those processes when no gateway
is already holding the port.
- Call server.unref() so the listener never pins the host's event loop,
even if startup somehow runs outside the gateway.
Plugin SDK convention update:
- Wrap default export with definePluginEntry({ id, name, description, register })
per the current openclaw plugin authoring contract.
- Switch imports from the deprecated root barrel "openclaw/plugin-sdk" to
focused "openclaw/plugin-sdk/core" / "openclaw/plugin-sdk/plugin-entry".
- Modernize openclaw.plugin.json: drop version/main, add activation.onStartup
so gateway_start fires for this plugin at boot, declare commandAliases
for the contractor-agents CLI command.
