iMessage links survive Apple preview blobs, Windows node ops get richer UI

OpenClaw's iMessage monitor now treats Apple rich-link preview wrappers as metadata rather than user media, so pasted URLs keep flowing through the text path.

The iMessage monitor previously misread Apple's `.pluginPayloadAttachment` rich-link preview blobs as real user media, interrupting pasted links. It now ignores those preview wrappers and lets the URL continue through the normal text/debounce path, preserving `transfer_name` and `uti` metadata for reliable identification. This restores expected behavior for anyone pasting URLs into Messages [1] [2].

On the Windows node side, the tray app's "Devices" section now lists only currently-connected nodes, moving stale paired-but-offline entries to the full Nodes page. Node cards gained rename, forget, and tray cleanup actions, and the gateway parser now carries the full `NodeListNode` schema (`Version` and more) in `GatewayNodeInfo` [3]. A follow-up patch fixes page-wide ContentDialog reentrancy, replacing a per-node `_nodesWithDialogOpen` HashSet with a single `_dialogOpen` bool, aligning with the `SandboxPage` convention and preventing `ShowAsync` throws during rapid Rename/Forget actions [4].

A new standalone exec approval evaluator ships with a stateless five-step function (`security=deny` > `user-denied` > `requiresPrompt` > `allowlist-miss` > `allow`), typed `ExecHostPolicyDecision` outcomes, and a path-based `ExecAllowlistMatcher` using non-backtracking glob regex, covered by 80 tests and ready for PR7 consumption [5]. Native chat performance improved by using `UseRef` for input text to avoid full-tree re-renders per keypress, plus FunctionalUI reconciliation skips unnecessary child detach/reattach and Text assignment when Inlines are present [6]. Cron follow-up fixes address the default run limit, delete-disabled behavior, remove-button affordance, toggle glyph, and false auto-delete notifications for user-removed jobs [7].
