Fixes#83901. Honors Commander negated option handling for ACP prompt-prefix forwarding and adds focused CLI regression coverage. Verified with Crabbox AWS cbx_1689d0ad78e9 run run_a406418db6fe and Real behavior proof run 26127392365.
Summary:
- The PR changes `openclaw acp client` error handling to use `formatErrorMessage`, adds a plain-object rejection regression test, and adds a changelog entry.
- Reproducibility: yes. Current main visibly sends `openclaw acp client` caught errors through `String(err)`, ... catch already uses `formatErrorMessage`; I did not run a live failing ACP server in this read-only review.
Automerge notes:
- PR branch already contained follow-up commit before automerge: fix(cli): format acp client errors with formatErrorMessage (#83904)
Validation:
- ClawSweeper review passed for head 69ef0e7270.
- Required merge gates passed before the squash merge.

* fix: ensure CLI exits after command completion
The CLI process would hang indefinitely after commands like
`openclaw gateway restart` completed successfully. Two root causes:
1. `runCli()` returned without calling `process.exit()` after
`program.parseAsync()` resolved, and Commander.js does not
force-exit the process.
2. `daemon-cli/register.ts` eagerly called `createDefaultDeps()`
which imported all messaging-provider modules, creating persistent
event-loop handles that prevented natural Node exit.
Changes:
- Add `flushAndExit()` helper that drains stdout/stderr before calling
`process.exit()`, preventing truncated piped output in CI/scripts.
- Call `flushAndExit()` after both `tryRouteCli()` and
`program.parseAsync()` resolve.
- Remove unnecessary `void createDefaultDeps()` from daemon-cli
registration — daemon lifecycle commands never use messaging deps.
- Make `serveAcpGateway()` return a promise that resolves on
intentional shutdown (SIGINT/SIGTERM), so `openclaw acp` blocks
`parseAsync` for the bridge lifetime and exits cleanly on signal.
- Handle the returned promise in the standalone main-module entry
point to avoid unhandled rejections.
