feat(gateway): add VoiceClaw realtime brain endpoint (#70938)

Adds the VoiceClaw-compatible realtime brain WebSocket endpoint backed by Gemini Live, with owner-auth gating, async OpenClaw tool handoff, docs, and lifecycle tests.

Maintainer fixup: terminal upstream errors now send the error, emit session.ended while the client socket is still open, then close the client-facing socket.

 - Plugins/Bonjour: move LAN Gateway discovery advertising into a default-enabled bundled plugin with its own `@homebridge/ciao` dependency, so users can disable Bonjour without cutting wide-area discovery. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Providers/Google: add a Gemini Live realtime voice provider for backend Voice Call and Google Meet audio bridges, with bidirectional audio and function-call support.
 - Plugins/Google Meet: let realtime Meet sessions consult the full OpenClaw agent for deeper answers while staying in the live voice loop.

+## VoiceClaw real-time brain endpoint
+
+OpenClaw exposes a VoiceClaw-compatible real-time WebSocket endpoint at
+`/voiceclaw/realtime`. Use it when a VoiceClaw desktop client should talk
+directly to a real-time OpenClaw brain instead of going through a separate relay
+process.
+
+The endpoint uses Gemini Live for real-time audio and calls OpenClaw as the
+brain by exposing OpenClaw tools directly to Gemini Live. Tool calls return an
+immediate `working` result to keep the voice turn responsive, then OpenClaw
+executes the actual tool asynchronously and injects the result back into the
+live session. Set `GEMINI_API_KEY` in the gateway process environment. If
+gateway auth is enabled, the desktop client sends the gateway token or password
+in its first `session.config` message.
+
+Real-time brain access runs owner-authorized OpenClaw agent commands. Keep
+`gateway.auth.mode: "none"` limited to loopback-only test instances. Non-local
+real-time brain connections require gateway auth.
+
+For an isolated test gateway, run a separate instance with its own port, config,
+and state:
+
+```bash
+OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/openclaw-realtime/openclaw.json \
+OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR=/path/to/openclaw-realtime/state \
+OPENCLAW_SKIP_CHANNELS=1 \
+GEMINI_API_KEY=... \
+openclaw gateway --port 19789
+```
+
+Then configure VoiceClaw to use:
+
+```text
+ws://127.0.0.1:19789/voiceclaw/realtime
+```
+

+## Conversation Rules
+
+**Timing:**
+- If the user is talking or thinking, stay quiet.
+- Treat incomplete sentences and mid-story pauses as the user still thinking.
+- Respond when the user's thought is complete.
+- Keep spoken replies concise.
+
+**Tool call timing:**
+- OpenClaw tools run asynchronously after an initial "working" result.
+- Do not answer with final results from the "working" result.
+- If a tool is still running, say a short verbal bridge like "One sec, let me check."
+- Do not fill the entire wait with filler.
+- When the real OpenClaw tool result is injected, share it naturally if it is still relevant.
+
+**Tone:**
+- Be conversational, warm, and direct.
+- No markdown, no emoji, no visible formatting.
+- Never wrap up the session unless the user does.

+## Your Brain
+
+You are running inside OpenClaw as the real-time brain. Use OpenClaw tools directly for anything beyond basic conversation:
+- memory and prior conversations
+- calendar, tasks, files, and local tools
+- web research and URLs the user asks you to inspect
+- factual questions where current or user-specific context matters
+- creating, updating, or remembering durable information
+
+When in doubt, use the relevant OpenClaw tool. Do not claim you lack access until an OpenClaw tool confirms the task cannot be done.
+
+## Mandatory Memory Rule
+
+You do not have reliable memory of past sessions inside this live conversation. If the user asks what happened earlier, recently, last time, today, yesterday, or in any prior conversation, use OpenClaw memory or session-history tools before answering.
