Canvas "Save & Restart" was timing out for openclaw workspaces because
two bugs compounded:

1. **Pointless config.yaml write.** openclaw manages its own prompt
   surface via SOUL/BOOTSTRAP/AGENTS multi-file system — it does NOT
   read the platform's config.yaml. But ConfigTab.tsx was still
   issuing `PUT /workspaces/:id/files/config.yaml` on every save,
   which on tenant EC2 fans out through the slow EIC SSH tunnel path
   (`workspace-server/internal/handlers/template_files_eic.go`).
   Other runtimes that ship their own config are already exempted via
   `RUNTIMES_WITH_OWN_CONFIG` (external, kimi, kimi-cli). Add openclaw
   to that set so the platform stops doing work the runtime ignores.

2. **Client aborts before server returns.** `DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS` was
   15s, but the server's `eicFileOpTimeout` is 30s
   (template_files_eic.go L118). When EIC was slow or the EC2's
   ec2-instance-connect daemon was unhealthy, the canvas aborted with
   a generic timeout *before* the workspace-server returned its real
   5xx — so the user saw a useless "request timed out" instead of
   the actual cause. Raise the default to 35s so the server's error
   surfaces. The AbortController contract is unchanged; callers can
   still override `timeoutMs` per-request.

Together these fixes unblock the user-visible "Save & Restart"
behavior on openclaw workspaces. The underlying EIC hang on
i-04e5197e96adb888f (last_healthcheck_at IS NULL) is tracked
separately as a follow-up — this PR makes the canvas honest about
errors instead of swallowing them, and removes the unnecessary write
from openclaw's critical path entirely.
