The previous migration to tsdown was reverted because it caused a ~20x slowdown when running OpenClaw from the repo. @hyf0 investigated and found that simply renaming the `dist` folder also caused the same slowdown. It turns out the Plugin script loader has a bunch of voodoo vibe logic to determine if it should load files from source and compile them, or if it should load them from dist. When building with tsdown, the filesystem layout is different (bundled), and so some files weren't in the right location, and the Plugin script loader decided to compile source files from scratch using Jiti.
The new implementation uses tsdown to embed `NODE_ENV: 'production'`, which we now use to determine if we are running OpenClaw from a "production environmen" (ie. from dist). This removes the slop in favor of a deterministic toggle, and doesn't rely on directory names or similar.
There is some code reaching into `dist` to load specific modules, primarily in the voice-call extension, which I simplified into loading an "officially" exported `extensionAPI.js` file. With tsdown, entry points need to be explicitly configured, so we should be able to avoid sloppy code reaching into internals from now on. This might break some existing users, but if it does, it's because they were using "private" APIs.
* feat: add chunking mode for outbound messages
- Introduced `chunkMode` option in various account configurations to allow splitting messages by "length" or "newline".
- Updated message processing to handle chunking based on the selected mode.
- Added tests for new chunking functionality, ensuring correct behavior for both modes.
* feat: enhance chunking mode documentation and configuration
- Added `chunkMode` option to the BlueBubbles account configuration, allowing users to choose between "length" and "newline" for message chunking.
- Updated documentation to clarify the behavior of the `chunkMode` setting.
- Adjusted account merging logic to incorporate the new `chunkMode` configuration.
* refactor: simplify chunk mode handling for BlueBubbles
- Removed `chunkMode` configuration from various account schemas and types, centralizing chunk mode logic to BlueBubbles only.
- Updated `processMessage` to default to "newline" for BlueBubbles chunking.
- Adjusted tests to reflect changes in chunk mode handling for BlueBubbles, ensuring proper functionality.
* fix: update default chunk mode to 'length' for BlueBubbles
- Changed the default value of `chunkMode` from 'newline' to 'length' in the BlueBubbles configuration and related processing functions.
- Updated documentation to reflect the new default behavior for chunking messages.
- Adjusted tests to ensure the correct default value is returned for BlueBubbles chunk mode.
- Add registry lock during command execution to prevent race conditions
- Add input sanitization for command arguments (defense in depth)
- Validate handler is a function during registration
- Remove redundant case-insensitive regex flag
- Add success logging for command execution
- Simplify handler return type (always returns result now)
- Remove dead code branch in commands-plugin.ts

Add clearPluginCommands() call in loadClawdbotPlugins() to ensure
previously registered commands are cleaned up before reloading plugins.
This prevents command conflicts during hot-reload scenarios.

Blockers fixed:
- Fix documentation: requireAuth defaults to true (not false)
- Add command name validation (must start with letter, alphanumeric only)
- Add reserved commands list to prevent shadowing built-in commands
- Emit diagnostic errors for invalid/duplicate command registration
Other improvements:
- Return user-friendly message for unauthorized commands (instead of silence)
- Sanitize error messages to avoid leaking internal details
- Document acceptsArgs behavior when arguments are provided
- Add notes about reserved commands and validation rules to docs

This adds a new `api.registerCommand()` method to the plugin API, allowing
plugins to register slash commands that execute without invoking the AI agent.
Features:
- Plugin commands are processed before built-in commands and the agent
- Commands can optionally require authorization
- Commands can accept arguments
- Async handlers are supported
Use case: plugins can implement toggle commands (like /tts_on, /tts_off)
that respond immediately without consuming LLM API calls.
