Bug type

Regression (worked before, now fails)

Summary

When attempting to configure and connect a Zalo bot via the OpenClaw Gateway UI, the application fails with a JavaScript error. The UI displays the following message:
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getZaloRuntime')

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set up a bot on the Zalo Developers platform and obtain the API key.

  2. Enable the Zalo plugin in OpenClaw using the CLI:

openclaw plugins enable zalo
  1. Open the Gateway UI and navigate to Channels.

  2. Select the Zalo channel.

  3. Input the Zalo bot API key and attempt to save/connect.

Expected behavior

The Zalo channel should initialize correctly, show a "Running" status as "Yes," and establish a connection to the Zalo API. See the tutorial (when OpenClaw named Clawbot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLaADWoMeoo. At 7:30.

Actual behavior

The connection fails, and the UI throws a red error banner:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getZaloRuntime')
The channel status shows:

Running: No

Configured: Yes

Connected: n/a
