 ### Fixes
 
+- Plugins/Bonjour: stop the gateway from crash-looping on `CIAO PROBING CANCELLED` when the mDNS watchdog cancels a stuck probe. Restores the rejection-handler wiring dropped during the bonjour plugin migration and shares unhandled-rejection state across module instances so plugin-staged copies of `openclaw/plugin-sdk/runtime` register into the same handler set the host consults. Especially affects Docker on macOS, where mDNS probing reliably hits the watchdog. Thanks @troyhitch.
 - Plugins/startup: remove ownerless bundled runtime-dependency install locks
   after a short grace window and include lock owner details when startup times
   out waiting for a plugin runtime-deps lock. Thanks @steipete.
