Purpose
Automatically sends a notification message when the gateway restarts and recovers.

~/.openclaw/recovery_flag - Heartbeat Check: During heartbeat poll, secretary checks for recovery flag
- Send Notification: If flag exists, sends "I'm back!" message and clears flag
Configuration
- Flag file:
~/.openclaw/recovery_flag - LaunchAgent:
ai.openclaw.gateway-startup-hook.plist - Log file:
/Users/kazuni/.openclaw/workspace/memory/startup.log

- Create flag:
touch ~/.openclaw/recovery_flag - Secretary will detect it on next heartbeat
