refactor: split release changelogs and synchronize docs mirrors (#145464) 
* refactor: split release changelogs and synchronize docs mirrors

* fix: complete split changelog instructions and validation wiring

* fix: complete release changelog mirror integration

Regenerate existing docs mirrors within the docs-agent publication boundary, preserve one HTML release heading, and package links for oversized mirrors without changing frozen records. Update release publisher and test-routing fixtures for the shared changelog resolver.

* test: align docs agent Git ownership fixtures

Keep failure injection aligned with staged-index validation and mirror staging. Preserve native Git producer exit codes and verify both cached-index producers without weakening process-drain assertions.

Breaking

  • BREAKING: openclaw message and message tool now require target (dropping to/channelId for destinations). (#1034) - thanks @tobalsan.
  • BREAKING: Channel auth now prefers config over env for Discord/Telegram/Matrix (env is fallback only). (#1040) - thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
  • BREAKING: Drop legacy chatType: "room" support; use chatType: "channel".
  • BREAKING: remove legacy provider-specific target resolution fallbacks; target resolution is centralized with plugin hints + directory lookups.
  • BREAKING: openclaw hooks is now openclaw webhooks; hooks live under openclaw hooks. https://docs.openclaw.ai/cli/webhooks.
  • BREAKING: openclaw plugins install <path> now copies into ~/.openclaw/extensions (use --link to keep path-based loading).
