The gateway update.run RPC updated git/source installs via runGatewayUpdate
but, unlike the openclaw update CLI, never resumed the post-core plugin
convergence that runGatewayUpdate's doctor pass defers. As a result a
git/source core update would restart on the new core with official managed
plugins still pinned to versions built against removed core APIs.
Spawn the rebuilt binary's update finalize entrypoint after a successful
git update so official plugins reconcile to a host-compatible version, and
block the restart if convergence fails (mirroring the CLI).
Route managed LaunchAgent package self-updates through the post-exit CLI handoff path and persist handoff helper failures through the update restart sentinel so agent-invoked updates cannot stay pending indefinitely.
Add handoff ownership guards for stale helpers, atomic helper sentinel writes, and regression coverage for unrelated and newer pending sentinels.
Fixes#81894.
