feat(claude-headless): add standalone headless Claude CLI provider#1
Merged

Conversation
Adds a new claude-headless extension that routes inference through the local Claude CLI binary (claude -p --permission-mode bypassPermissions) instead of the Anthropic API. This lets users who cannot use Anthropic OAuth or API keys run OpenClaw using a locally authenticated Claude CLI installation. The extension registers: - A claude-headless CLI backend that spawns claude in headless/print mode with bypassPermissions (the modern replacement for the legacy --dangerously-skip-permissions flag). - A claude-headless provider plugin with a detect auth method that reads local Claude CLI credentials via readClaudeCliCredentialsCached and sets agents.defaults.model = claude-headless/claude-sonnet-4-6. Users set up via: openclaw auth (select "Claude headless (local CLI)") or manually set agents.defaults.model to a claude-headless/* ref.
