Two changes that together break the gateway restart loop:
1. launcher.py (_configure_openclaw): Add early-exit guard — if
'agents.defaults.model.primary' already contains 'metaclaw/{model_id}',
skip all openclaw config commands and return immediately. Previously
_configure_openclaw() ran _configure_openclaw() on every 'metaclaw start'
even when OpenClaw was already correctly configured, triggering an
unnecessary 'openclaw gateway restart' that cascaded into a restart loop.
2. index.ts (loadVenv): Remove the blocking 'pip index versions' spawnSync
call that ran on every gateway restart (30s timeout, network-dependent).
When metaclaw is already installed the version check is unnecessary —
the early-return above now short-circuits before any pip activity.
