Sidecar lifecycle:
- Move startSideCar() 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 spawning a
long-lived process there hung `openclaw update`'s post-update steps.
- Spawn the sidecar with detached: true, stdio routed to a log file fd,
and call .unref() so the host's event loop is never held by the child.
Even if a future caller invokes startSideCar in a non-gateway context,
it can no longer block that host from exiting.
- Sidecar logs now go to ~/.openclaw/logs/dirigent-sidecar.log instead of
being piped through the host logger.
Plugin SDK convention update:
- Wrap default export with definePluginEntry({ id, name, description, register })
per the current openclaw plugin authoring contract.
- Switch all imports from the deprecated root barrel "openclaw/plugin-sdk"
to focused subpaths "openclaw/plugin-sdk/core" and
"openclaw/plugin-sdk/plugin-entry".
- Modernize openclaw.plugin.json: drop entry/version, add description,
declare contracts.tools[] for the 6 tools, set activation.onStartup: true
so gateway_start fires for this plugin at boot.

1. create-discussion-channel now accepts optional discussionGuidePath
parameter as alternative to inline discussionGuide text. Either
one is required; file path is read at tool execution time.
2. Discussion channel speaker list now places the initiator first,
ensuring they set context before other participants respond.

Complete rewrite of the Dirigent plugin turn management system to work
correctly with OpenClaw's VM-context-per-session architecture:
- All turn state stored on globalThis (persists across VM context hot-reloads)
- Hooks registered unconditionally on every api instance; event-level dedup
(runId Set for agent_end, WeakSet for before_model_resolve) prevents
double-processing
- Gateway lifecycle events (gateway_start/stop) guarded once via globalThis flag
- Shared initializingChannels lock prevents concurrent channel init across VM
contexts in message_received and before_model_resolve
- New ChannelStore and IdentityRegistry replace old policy/session-state modules
- Added agent_end hook with tail-match polling for Discord delivery confirmation
- Added web control page, padded-cell auto-scan, discussion tool support
- Removed obsolete v1 modules: channel-resolver, channel-modes, discussion-service,
session-state, turn-bootstrap, policy/store, rules, decision-input
