[Bug]: Docker sandbox still advertises host skill paths in startup context on v2026.6.5 #91761

Description

Bug type

Regression (worked before, now fails)

Beta release blocker

No

Summary

after updating openclaw, workspaceaccess "rw" sandbox in docker still tries to access skills from directories it doesn't have access to despite making a new sandbox and creating a new thread with /new

Steps to reproduce

Reset/repro attempted:
openclaw sandbox recreate --all
gateway restart
new thread via /new

Expected behavior

Startup context should point skills at /workspace/.openclaw/sandbox-skills/skills/...

Actual behavior

Skills are materialized in that directory, but the model is still instructed to read host paths such as ~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/skills/gog/SKILL.md

OpenClaw version

v2026.6.5

Operating system

WSL Ubuntu

Install method

npm global

Model

chatgpt-5.5 codex

Provider / routing chain

openclaw -> chatgpt-5.5

Additional provider/model setup details

No response

Logs, screenshots, and evidence

Impact and severity

prevents openclaw from using bundled skills automatically in the "rw" sandbox

Additional information

Follow-up from #90410 and #90798
#90798 fixed materialization/readability, but this report suggests a remaining prompt/startup-context rewrite path is still using host skill paths
