fix: reuse lookup table for deferred plugin reload

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -21,6 +21,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - LM Studio: allow interactive onboarding to leave the API key blank for unauthenticated local servers, using local synthetic auth while clearing stale LM Studio auth profiles. Fixes #66937. Thanks @olamedia.
 - 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.
 - Plugins/registry: resolve lookup-table owner maps for providers, CLI backends, setup providers, command aliases, model catalogs, channel configs, and manifest contracts while preserving setup-only CLI backend ownership. Thanks @shakkernerd.
 - Process/Windows: decode command stdout and stderr from raw bytes with console-codepage awareness, while preserving valid UTF-8 output and multibyte characters split across chunks. Fixes #50519. Thanks @iready, @kevinten10, @zhangyongjie1997, @knightplat-blip, @heiqishi666, and @slepybear.
 - Agents/bootstrap: dedupe hook-injected bootstrap context files by workspace-relative path and store normalized resolved paths so duplicate relative and absolute hook paths no longer depend on the process cwd. (#59344; fixes #59319; related #56721, #56725, and #57587) Thanks @koen666.
