 - Gateway/CLI: add `clawdbot gateway --dev/--reset` to auto-create a dev config/workspace with a robot identity (no BOOTSTRAP.md), and reset wipes config/creds/sessions/workspace. — thanks @steipete
+- Configure: stop prompting to open the Control UI (still shown in onboarding). — thanks @steipete
