The Next.js web app was only built inside the gateway process on first
boot. When the daemon was freshly installed (e.g. `onboard
--install-daemon`), the LaunchAgent would start and block on `next
build`, causing a noticeably slow first startup.
Add `ensureWebAppBuilt()` to `src/gateway/server-web-app.ts` — a
standalone pre-build function that checks for `.next/BUILD_ID` and runs
dep install + `next build` if missing. Skips silently when the web app
is disabled, already built, in dev mode, or inapplicable (global npm
install without `apps/web`).
Call both `ensureWebAppBuilt()` and `ensureControlUiAssetsBuilt()` before
the daemon is installed in every relevant path:
- Interactive onboarding (`onboarding.finalize.ts`) — moved the existing
Control UI build from after the daemon install to before it, and added
the web app build alongside it.
- Non-interactive onboarding (`daemon-install.ts`) — added both pre-build
calls before `service.install()`.
- Standalone `openclaw gateway install` CLI (`daemon-cli/install.ts`) —
added both pre-build calls before `service.install()`.
- Configure wizard (`configure.wizard.ts`) — added the web app build
alongside the existing Control UI build.
Updated test mocks for `ensureWebAppBuilt` in onboarding, configure
wizard, and daemon CLI coverage tests.
Bumped version to 2026.2.6-3.7 and published to npm.
