TUI/Gateway: emit internal hooks for /new and /reset

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -51,6 +51,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Memory/QMD: treat prefixed `no results found` marker output as an empty result set in qmd JSON parsing. (#11302) Thanks @blazerui.
 - Memory/QMD: make `memory status` read-only by skipping QMD boot update/embed side effects for status-only manager checks.
 - Memory/QMD: keep original QMD failures when builtin fallback initialization fails (for example missing embedding API keys), instead of replacing them with fallback init errors.
+- TUI/Hooks: pass explicit reset reason (`new` vs `reset`) through `sessions.reset` and emit internal command hooks for gateway-triggered resets so `/new` hook workflows fire in TUI/webchat.
 - Memory/QMD: pass result limits to `search`/`vsearch` commands so QMD can cap results earlier.
 - Memory/QMD: avoid reading full markdown files when a `from/lines` window is requested in QMD reads.
 - Memory/QMD: skip rewriting unchanged session export markdown files during sync to reduce disk churn.
