fix(gateway): trim startup imports

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -33,6 +33,8 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Memory/doctor: treat the specific `gateway timeout after ...` gateway memory probe result as inconclusive instead of reporting embeddings not ready, while preserving warnings for explicit failures. Fixes #44426; carries forward #46576 with the Greptile review feedback applied. Thanks Cengiz (@ghost).
 - Gateway/memory: defer QMD startup for implicit non-default agents and scope memory runtime loading to the selected memory slot so Gateway boot and first memory recall avoid broad plugin runtime fanout. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Gateway/startup: keep core request handlers, setup wizard, and channel runtime helpers off the boot path until the first matching request, wizard run, or channel start, reducing no-plugin Gateway ready RSS and avoidable startup imports. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: keep CLI outbound channel send dependencies as lazy request-time senders so Gateway boot no longer imports channel plugin registration just to construct default deps. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Gateway/startup: split lightweight HTTP auth helpers away from model-override helpers so Gateway bind no longer imports model catalog selection while wiring base HTTP routes. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - CLI/Gateway: use a parse-only config snapshot for plain `gateway status` reads and reuse same-path service config context so status no longer spends tens of seconds in full config validation before printing. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Lobster/Gateway: memoize repeated Ajv schema compilation before loading the embedded Lobster runtime so scheduled workflows and `llm.invoke` loops stop growing gateway heap on content-identical schemas. Fixes #71148. Thanks @cmi525, @vsolaz, and @vincentkoc.
 - Codex harness: normalize cached input tokens before session/context accounting so prompt cache reads are not double-counted in `/status`, `session_status`, or persisted `sessionEntry.totalTokens`. Fixes #69298. Thanks @richardmqq.
