Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash)

Summary

Bug Description
The Control UI dashboard displays version 2026.2.26 while the actual installed npm package version is 2026.3.2. This is a version display inconsistency between the CLI status output and the Control UI.

Environment
OS: macOS 26.4 (arm64)
Node.js: 22.14.0
OpenClaw npm package version: 2026.3.2 (from package.json)
Gateway version displayed: 2026.2.26

Additional Context
The version 2026.2.26 appears to be hardcoded in the compiled dist files. Searching through the dist directory shows multiple occurrences of this version string in files like:

dist/daemon-cli.js
dist/gateway-cli-.js
dist/model-selection-.js
dist/plugin-sdk/config-*.js
The Control UI reads the version from hello.server.version in the gateway handshake response.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install OpenClaw version 2026.3.2 via npm
2. Run openclaw status — observe the Gateway line shows app 2026.2.26
3. Open Control UI dashboard — version chip shows 2026.2.26

Expected behavior

Both CLI and Control UI should display the correct version 2026.3.2 consistent with the npm package version.

Actual behavior

CLI shows: Gateway: local · ws://127.0.0.1:18789 · ... · app 2026.2.26 macos 26.4
Control UI shows version chip: 2026.2.26
package.json shows: "version": "2026.3.2"
