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.

auth: "gateway" requires Bearer token in Authorization header,
which browser direct navigation never sends (no session cookies).
auth: "plugin" allows unauthenticated access on loopback, which
is sufficient since gateway is bound to 127.0.0.1 only.

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
