docs: refresh v0.0.71 release docs

[jyaunches]

Summary

Refreshes the public documentation for NemoClaw v0.0.71 after scanning commits since v0.0.70. Adds release notes and fills the remaining doc gaps for Windows bootstrap diagnostics, OpenClaw agent auto-relock warnings, auto-pair cadence tuning, and plugin-install recovery hints.

Changes

• docs/about/release-notes.mdx: adds the v0.0.71 release-note section, grouped by gateway recovery, OpenShell auth, policy provenance, day-two maintenance, messaging/inference, and Windows setup.
• docs/get-started/windows-preparation.mdx: documents sanitized WSL install output and reboot gating in the Windows bootstrap.
• docs/reference/commands.mdx: documents the host agent wrapper's shields auto-relock warning and OpenClaw auto-pair watcher tuning variables.
• docs/reference/troubleshooting.mdx: adds plugin-install network failure recovery guidance and updates Windows WSL troubleshooting for sanitized install logs and reboot-required handling.

Source summary:

• fix(sandbox): honor model override in reconcile and log guard-chain warning to file #6065 -> docs/about/release-notes.mdx: Notes explicit model override preservation and gateway-log guard-chain recovery diagnostics.

• fix(uninstall): add --destroy-user-data flag to purge preserved data #5784 -> docs/about/release-notes.mdx: Summarizes --destroy-user-data and the safe --yes uninstall behavior already documented in lifecycle and command docs.
• perf(docker): preserve warm sandbox build cache #6034 -> docs/about/release-notes.mdx: Summarizes custom Dockerfile warm-build cache behavior already documented in the command reference.
• fix(sandbox): warn host agent CLI after shields auto-relock #5951 -> docs/reference/commands.mdx: Documents the stderr-only host agent wrapper warning after recent shields auto-relock.
• fix(start): drop slow-mode polling on late allowlisted scope upgrades #5387 -> docs/reference/commands.mdx: Documents OpenClaw auto-pair watcher cadence and fast-reentry tuning variables.

• fix(messaging): disable Teams streaming by default #5995 and fix(messaging): inject Teams mention hints at runtime #5956 -> docs/about/release-notes.mdx: Summarizes Microsoft Teams final-message delivery and runtime mention hints already covered by messaging docs.

• docs: clarify local compatible endpoints #5505, docs: add inference model task-fit guide #5527, and docs: add model capability audit matrix #5528 -> docs/about/release-notes.mdx: Summarizes compatible local endpoint, model task-fit, and model capability audit docs.
• fix(windows): redact private data from Windows bootstrap WSL output #6009 -> docs/get-started/windows-preparation.mdx, docs/reference/troubleshooting.mdx: Documents sanitized Windows bootstrap WSL output and reboot-required gating.
• docs(quickstart): make nemoclaw onboard an explicit step before chat (#6001) #6055 -> no additional source doc page change needed beyond the already-merged quickstart update; release notes did not duplicate routine quickstart cleanup.

No matching v0.0.71 GitHub announcement discussion was found in the latest 20 discussions, so this refresh is based on the commit scan and existing source PR docs.
