fix: avoid plugin install scanner false positives

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -70,6 +70,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Web search: honor late-bound `tools.web.search.enabled: false` during tool execution so config reloads cannot leave an already-created `web_search` tool runnable. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/packages: reject inferred built runtime entries that exist but fail package-boundary checks instead of falling back to TypeScript source for installed packages. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/loader: do not retry native-loaded JavaScript plugin modules through the source transformer after native evaluation has already reached a missing dependency, avoiding duplicate top-level side effects. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Plugins/security: stop the install scanner from blocking official bundled plugin packages when `process.env` access and normal API sends only appear in distant parts of the same compiled bundle.
 - Plugins/packages: reject blank `openclaw.runtimeExtensions` entries instead of silently ignoring them and falling back to inferred TypeScript runtime entries. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Doctor/plugins: remove stale managed npm plugin shadow entries from the managed package lock as well as `package.json` and `node_modules`, so future npm operations do not keep referencing repaired bundled-plugin shadows. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Plugins/runtime state: keep the key being registered when namespace eviction runs in the same millisecond as existing entries, so `register` and `registerIfAbsent` do not report success while evicting their own fresh value. Thanks @vincentkoc.
