Bug Description
memory-lancedb-pro@1.1.0-beta.9 fails to load in the OpenClaw gateway (2026.4.8) with error:
[plugins] memory-lancedb-pro invalid config: embedding: must have required property 'embedding'
The error fires repeatedly (every ~2 seconds, once per agent initialization) in the gateway process, preventing the plugin from registering as the active memory runtime.
Config (redacted keys)

}
}
}
}
}Verification
- Direct AJV validation of the config against
openclaw.plugin.json configSchema passes (tested with new Ajv().compile(schema)(config) → true)
- The CLI's embedded plugin loader successfully registers the plugin (logs show
memory-lancedb-pro@1.1.0-beta.9: plugin registered)
- The gateway's per-agent plugin loader fails on schema validation and hits a
continue that skips registration
openclaw doctor reports: "No active memory plugin is registered for the current config"
Suspected Root Cause
The gateway's plugin loader at loader-CVkGO8jl.js validates entry?.config against the plugin's configSchema. In the gateway's per-agent loading path, it appears the config is not being resolved/passed to the validation step, so AJV sees undefined instead of the actual config object.
Environment
- OpenClaw: 2026.4.8
- memory-lancedb-pro: 1.1.0-beta.9
- Node: 22.22.2
- OS: Ubuntu Linux (DigitalOcean VPS)
Note
Attempted to install stable 1.0.32 via openclaw plugins install but it was blocked by OpenClaw's security scanner (child_process detection in examples/new-session-distill/worker/lesson-extract-worker.mjs).
