When dmPolicy is set to "allowlist" but allowFrom is missing or empty,
all DMs are silently dropped because no sender can match the empty
allowlist. This is a common pitfall after upgrades that change how
allowlist files are handled (e.g., external allowlist-dm.json files
being deprecated in favor of inline allowFrom arrays).
Changes:
- Add requireAllowlistAllowFrom schema refinement (zod-schema.core.ts)
- Apply validation to all channel schemas: Telegram, Discord, Slack,
Signal, IRC, iMessage, BlueBubbles, MS Teams, Google Chat, WhatsApp
- Add detectEmptyAllowlistPolicy to doctor-config-flow.ts so
"openclaw doctor" surfaces a clear warning with remediation steps
- Add 12 test cases covering reject/accept for multiple channels
