Fix(logging) guard registration logs

[St0rmz1]

Summary

Guards the three "Registered …" info lines in register() behind a module-scoped registrationLogged flag so they fire at most once per process. Without this guard OpenClaw's plugin loader re-invokes register(api) once per distinct loadOpenClawPlugins cacheKey (gateway startup, provider discovery, metadata registry, web-fetch/web-search runtimes, etc.), producing ~44 redundant log lines per KiloClaw boot.

Background

Investigation traced the log spam to openclaw/src/plugins/loader.ts:loadOpenClawPlugins, which is called from many distinct code paths (gateway startup, CLI metadata, provider discovery, web-fetch/web-search runtimes, metadata-registry-loader, status, etc.). Each call with a different cacheKey builds a fresh registry and invokes every plugin's register(api) again. Our three unconditional api.logger.info?.(...) calls therefore fired ~15 times per process.

The plugin's tool factory ((toolCtx) => ({...})) re-running per tool-collection event was a known, documented behavior — but the three info lines were in the outer register(), not in the factory, so that context was misleading.

Scope

• Logging only. api.registerTool(...) and api.registerCommand(...) still run on every register() call — intentional, because each loadOpenClawPlugins pass builds its own registry and the plugin must register into every one to be visible in that context.
• No behavior change for users. Only reduces gateway log noise.

Changes

• index.ts: added module-scoped let registrationLogged = false and wrapped the three info log calls in a first-time guard. Comment explains why register() runs multiple times and why only logging is gated.
• CHANGELOG.md: [Unreleased] → Fixed entry describing the spam root cause and the guard.

Test plan

• bun run typecheck — passes
• bun run format:check (on edited files) — passes
• bun test — 54/54 pass
• Verify in a KiloClaw boot that the three "Registered …" lines appear exactly once (not ~15×).
