OpenClaw's Gateway Control UI bootstrap config required Gateway auth

Summary

Gateway Control UI bootstrap config required Gateway auth.

Affected Packages / Versions

• Package: openclaw (npm)
• Affected versions: <= 2026.4.21
• Fixed version: 2026.4.22

Impact

When Gateway authentication was enabled, the Control UI bootstrap config endpoint could still be read without a valid Gateway token. That response could expose sensitive bootstrap/config fields intended only for authenticated Control UI sessions.

Fix

The bootstrap config route now goes through the same Gateway read-auth path as other authenticated Control UI reads. Regression tests cover unauthenticated rejection, valid-token access, and basePath handling.
