* feat(memory): add Bedrock embedding provider for memory search

Add Amazon Bedrock as a native embedding provider for memory search.
Supports Titan Embed Text v1/v2 and Cohere Embed models via AWS SDK.

- New embeddings-bedrock.ts: BedrockRuntimeClient + InvokeModel
- Auth via AWS default credential chain (same as Bedrock inference)
- Auto-selected in 'auto' mode when AWS credentials are detected
- Titan V2: configurable dimensions (256/512/1024), normalization
- Cohere: native batch support with search_query/search_document types
- 16 new tests covering all model types, auth detection, edge cases

Closes openclaw#26289

* fix(memory): harden bedrock embedding selection

* feat(bedrock-mantle): add IAM credential auth via @aws/bedrock-token-generator

Mantle previously required a manually-created API key (AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK).
This adds automatic bearer token generation from IAM credentials using the
official @aws/bedrock-token-generator package.

Auth priority:
1. Explicit AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK env var (manual API key from Console)
2. IAM credentials via getTokenProvider() → Bearer token (instance roles,
   SSO profiles, access keys, EKS IRSA, ECS task roles)

Token is cached in memory (1hr TTL, generated with 2hr validity) and in
process.env.AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK for downstream sync reads.

Falls back gracefully when package is not installed or credentials are
unavailable — Mantle provider simply not registered.

Closes openclaw#45152

* fix(exec ): stop emitting tool updates after session is backgrounded

When an exec session is backgrounded (background: true), the owning
agent run resolves its tool-call promise and may finish.  The stdout
handler's emitUpdate() closure, however, kept invoking opts.onUpdate(),
delivering tool_execution_update events to a listener whose active run
had already ended.  This surfaced as an unhandled rejection and crashed
the gateway process.

Guard emitUpdate() with a session.backgrounded || session.exited check
so that post-background output is still captured via appendOutput() but
no longer forwarded to the (now-stale) agent-loop callback.

Fixes openclaw#61592

* fix: stop emitting post-background exec updates (openclaw#61627) (thanks @openperf)

* fix(exec ): stop emitting tool updates after session is backgrounded

When an exec session is backgrounded (background: true), the owning
agent run resolves its tool-call promise and may finish.  The stdout
handler's emitUpdate() closure, however, kept invoking opts.onUpdate(),
delivering tool_execution_update events to a listener whose active run
had already ended.  This surfaced as an unhandled rejection and crashed
the gateway process.

Guard emitUpdate() with a session.backgrounded || session.exited check
so that post-background output is still captured via appendOutput() but
no longer forwarded to the (now-stale) agent-loop callback.

Fixes openclaw#61592

Backend changes for session sidebar feature:
- session.ts: create compound key entry for old session when /new triggered
- agent.ts: pass preserveHistory=true to session reset
- session-reset-service.ts: add file reuse optimization for preserved sessions
- types.ts: add previousSessionKey field to SessionEntry
- session-utils.ts: add compound key support in session key resolution

This enables the UI to show previous sessions in sidebar while
preserving complete chat history for archived sessions.
