fix: reuse plugin manifests for model pricing refresh

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -45,6 +45,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Plugins/startup: use a `PluginLookUpTable` during Gateway startup so channel ownership, deferred channel loading, and startup plugin IDs reuse the same installed manifest registry instead of rebuilding manifest metadata on the boot path. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Plugins/startup: pass the Gateway `PluginLookUpTable` through plugin loading so auto-enable checks and startup-scope fallback reuse the same manifest registry instead of doing another manifest pass. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Plugins/startup: carry the Gateway `PluginLookUpTable` into deferred channel full-runtime reloads so post-listen startup does not rebuild manifest metadata after the provisional setup-runtime load. Thanks @shakkernerd.
+- Gateway/models: reuse Gateway plugin manifest metadata during the initial model-pricing refresh so pricing policies and configured plugin web-search models do not rebuild plugin lookups during startup. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Gateway/startup: extend `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_STARTUP_TRACE=1` with per-phase event-loop delay plus plugin lookup-table timing and count metrics for installed-index, manifest, startup-plan, and owner-map work, and include the new timing fields in startup benchmark summaries. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Plugins/channels: resolve read-only channel command defaults from one plugin index plus manifest pass instead of reloading plugin metadata while checking candidate plugin enablement. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Plugins/capabilities: cache manifest-derived capability provider plugin IDs per config snapshot so repeated TTS, media, realtime, memory, image, video, and music provider resolution avoids redundant manifest scans. Thanks @shakkernerd.
