Problem

There are three ways to reset a session in OpenClaw:

1. Manual: /new or /reset command — triggers session-memory hook ✅
2. Idle timeout: session.reset.idleMinutes — does NOT trigger session-memory ❌
3. Daily reset: default 4:00 AM — does NOT trigger session-memory ❌

The hooks system only listens for command:new and command:reset events, but idle timeout and daily reset are gateway-internal mechanisms that don't fire these events.

Expected Behavior

When a session is automatically reset (idle or daily), the session-memory hook should save the session context to memory, just as it does for manual /new//reset.

Suggested Fix

1. Add session:idle_reset and session:daily_reset events to the hooks system
2. Have session-memory hook respond to these events as well, OR
3. Document clearly that automatic resets do not preserve context

Workaround

Currently no workaround — users lose session context when idle timeout or daily reset fires.
