The auto-recall timeout was hardcoded to 10s but recall with budget=high
can take 13s+. This adds a configurable recallTimeoutMs option (default:
10000ms) so users can increase the timeout when using higher recall budgets.
Also adds recallInjectionPosition to the plugin schema (it was already
implemented in code but missing from the JSON schema validation, causing
config rejection).

* feat(openclaw): add recallInjectionPosition config to preserve prompt cache
Add configurable injection position for recalled memories to avoid
breaking prefix-based prompt caching (Anthropic/Google) when agents
have large static system prompts.
Options: 'prepend' (default, current behavior), 'append' (end of
system prompt, preserves cache), 'user' (before user message).
Closes#703
* docs(openclaw): document all plugin config flags
Add missing config options to the OpenClaw docs: recallTopK,
recallTypes, recallContextTurns, recallMaxQueryChars,
recallPromptPreamble, recallInjectionPosition, recallRoles,
retainEveryNTurns, retainOverlapTurns, and debug.

* feat(claude-code): remove hardcoded default models, rely on Hindsight API defaults
* feat(claude-code,docs): remove hardcoded default models from claude-code integration and docs
* feat: use claude-haiku-4-5 as default Anthropic model
* fix: update openclaw tests to use before_prompt_build hook and split doc-examples CI per language
- Update hooks.integration.test.ts: rename describe block and all
triggerHook calls from 'before_agent_start' to 'before_prompt_build'
to match the hook registered in index.ts (changed in PR #480)
- Fix 'includes the user message' test: prependContext contains memories
(bullet list), not the raw user query; update assertion accordingly
- Split test-doc-examples CI job into a matrix over [python, node, cli, go]
so each language runs in parallel; language-specific setup steps
(Rust/CLI build, Node.js, Python client, TypeScript client) are
conditional on matrix.language to avoid unnecessary work
* fix: spy on HindsightClient prototype to intercept all per-bank client instances
getClientForContext creates new HindsightClient instances per bank when
dynamicBankId is true, so vi.spyOn(c, 'recall') on the default client
never captured calls. Spy on HindsightClient.prototype instead so all
dynamically created bank clients are intercepted.

* fix(openclaw): put latest user message at end of recall query, add debug to schema
- Reorder composed recall query so latest user message is at the bottom,
giving embedding models the most weight where it matters most
- Update truncateRecallQuery to trim oldest context lines first,
always preserving the suffix (priority instruction + latest message)
- Add debug flag to openclaw.plugin.json schema
- Update tests to reflect new query order

* fix(openclaw): strip sender metadata envelope from prior context in recall query
Prior context messages passed to composeRecallQuery contained raw OpenClaw
envelope blocks (Sender/untrusted metadata JSON) which were diluting the
semantic signal of the recall query. Strip them the same way extractRecallQuery
already does for the latest message.

* fix(openclaw): add debug log for event.messages at recall time
Helps diagnose why recallContextTurns > 1 may not show extra context
by logging message count and roles available in event.messages.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(openclaw): strip sender metadata envelope from rawMessage before recall query extraction
The rawMessage from Telegram group chats arrives wrapped in a:
---
Sender (untrusted metadata):
```json {...}```
<actual message>
---
envelope. This wasn't being stripped before extractRecallQuery used it,
so the full envelope including JSON metadata was being sent as the recall
query, severely diluting semantic relevance.

* fix(openclaw): warn when recallContextTurns > 1 but event.messages is empty
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(openclaw): read messages from event.context.sessionEntry.messages for recall and retain
event.messages was always empty — the actual conversation history is at
event.context.sessionEntry.messages. Fall back to event.messages for
backwards compatibility. This fixes recallContextTurns and retain both
being unable to see the conversation history.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(openclaw): extract stripMetadataEnvelopes helper and apply to retain path
- Add shared stripMetadataEnvelopes() to strip OpenClaw sender/conversation
metadata blocks from message content in all paths (recall query extraction,
prior context composition, and retain transcript)
- This prevents metadata-polluted memories (name/sender ID facts) from being
stored and ensures recall queries contain clean user text only
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(openclaw): strip metadata envelopes after channel envelope extraction too
The prompt format is: [ChannelName ...]\n<metadata envelope>\n<message>
After extracting content after [ChannelName], the metadata envelope was
still present. Now stripMetadataEnvelopes runs again after the channel
envelope extraction step.

* fix(openclaw): switch recall hook from before_agent_start to before_prompt_build
before_prompt_build runs after session load and has messages available,
enabling recallContextTurns to work correctly. before_agent_start runs
pre-session with no messages.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(openclaw): move current time inside memory tag, simplify recall query format
- Move "Current time" line inside <hindsight_memories> so it's not exposed
to the recall search as part of the query context
- Remove RECALL_QUERY_PRIORITY_INSTRUCTION and "Latest user message:" label
from composed recall query — the raw message is more effective for
semantic search without the extra prompt noise
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(openclaw): address PR review comments on bank ID fallback and memory leaks
- Add early return in deriveBankId when ctx is undefined, falling back
to static default bank instead of generating a placeholder-filled ID
- Remove unused RECALL_QUERY_PRIORITY_INSTRUCTION dead constant
- Evict from banksWithMissionSet when evicting from clientsByBankId
to prevent unbounded memory growth in long-running instances
- Fix integration test hook name: before_agent_start → before_prompt_build
- Fix integration test assertions to match actual composeRecallQuery output

* fix(openclaw): extract sender ID from inbound metadata blocks for bank ID derivation
Agent-phase hooks (before_prompt_build, agent_end) don't carry senderId in ctx
by design. Parse it from the "Conversation info / Sender (untrusted metadata)"
JSON blocks that OpenClaw injects into the prompt/messages instead.
- Add extractSenderIdFromText() helper that scans all metadata blocks and
returns the first sender_id / id field found
- before_prompt_build: extract from event.prompt/rawMessage, spread into ctx
before calling deriveBankId and getClientForContext
- agent_end: scan user messages for the metadata block, spread into effectiveCtx
before calling deriveBankId and getClientForContext
- Gracefully skipped when senderId is already present in ctx
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(openclaw): scan messages from end for sender ID to handle group chats
When multiple users have spoken in a session, scanning from the front
returns the first sender in history rather than the one who triggered
the current agent run. Reverse the slice before finding so we always
pick the most recent user message's sender ID.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(openclaw): use event.messages for sender ID in agent_end, not sessionEntry
sessionEntry.messages is the cleaned-up history without OpenClaw's injected
metadata prefix blocks. event.messages is the raw payload that still contains
the "Conversation info (untrusted metadata)" JSON — so parse sender_id from
there instead.
Also removes the unnecessary senderIdBySession cache added in the previous
attempt, since event.messages has everything needed directly.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(openclaw): cache sender ID from before_prompt_build for use in agent_end
event.prompt in before_prompt_build contains OpenClaw's injected metadata
blocks with sender_id. event.messages in agent_end is clean history without
them — so parsing messages in agent_end never finds a sender ID.
Fix: cache the resolved sender ID (keyed by sessionKey) when it's extracted
in before_prompt_build, then look it up by sessionKey in agent_end.

Replace ~73 console.log calls with a debug() helper that is silent by default.
Debug output is now controlled via plugin config param (debug: true) instead of
environment variables, making it easier for users to configure.

* fix: zeroentropy rerank URL missing /v1 prefix and MCP routing tests
- Fix ZeroEntropy reranker URL: /models/rerank -> /v1/models/rerank (#453)
- Fix test_mcp_routing tests: update assertions to use submit_async_retain
instead of the non-existent async_processing=False/retain_batch_async pattern
* fix(openclaw): pass retainEveryNTurns through getPluginConfig and set it to 1 in tests
getPluginConfig was not forwarding retainEveryNTurns from the raw config,
so pluginConfig.retainEveryNTurns was always undefined (defaulting to 10).
The integration tests use retainEveryNTurns: 1 so retain fires every turn.
The checkExternalApiHealth function didn't include the Bearer token
in its requests. When the Hindsight API requires authentication
(HINDSIGHT_API_TENANT_API_KEY), health checks would fail with 401/403,
preventing plugin initialization.
Pass apiToken to all checkExternalApiHealth call sites and include
the Authorization header when a token is configured.

Add `autoRecall` config option (default: true) to allow disabling
automatic memory recall injection when the host agent has its own
dedicated recall tool. This is backward compatible — existing
deployments continue auto-recalling as before.
Also add the existing `excludeProviders` field to the plugin.json
configSchema so it appears in the UI and docs.

* fix: improve openclaw test coverage
* test(openclaw): export stripMemoryTags/extractRecallQuery and add hook integration tests
- Extract stripMemoryTags and extractRecallQuery as exported pure functions
from index.ts so hooks share one implementation and tests cover the real code
- Update before_agent_start to call extractRecallQuery; update agent_end to
call stripMemoryTags instead of duplicating the regex inline
- Rewrite index.test.ts to import the real functions (no more local duplicate)
and add 11 tests for extractRecallQuery covering all envelope-stripping cases
- Add tests/hooks.integration.test.ts: loads the plugin via mock MoltbotPluginAPI
in HTTP mode, spies on client.recall/retain, and exercises all hook behaviours:
excluded providers, short messages, memory injection format, tag stripping,
transcript formatting, array content blocks, metadata, document_id derivation
- exec→execFile: bypass shell entirely, preventing injection via
special characters in chat history
- HTTP dual-mode: client can now talk directly to the Hindsight API
via HTTP (setBankMission, retain, recall) when apiUrl is configured,
bypassing the subprocess/CLI entirely for production deployments
- HindsightClientOptions: replace 5 positional constructor args with
a typed options object for clarity and extensibility
- sanitize(): strip null bytes from strings — Node 22 rejects them
in execFile() args
- recall timeout: accept optional timeoutMs parameter for both HTTP
and subprocess modes; subprocess gets a longer 30s default
- In-flight recall dedup: concurrent recalls for the same bank reuse
one promise instead of firing duplicate requests
- Timeout/abort handling: graceful warn-level logging instead of
error spam when recall times out
- Error cause chaining: wrap errors with { cause } for better
debugging stack traces
- lazyReinit: recover from startup health check failure with 30s
cooldown and concurrency guard
- Per-user banks: derive bank ID from senderId (not channelId) for
proper memory isolation per user across channels
- buildClientOptions(): centralized helper replaces 7 duplicated
constructor call sites

- Remove unused `fs` and `execSync` imports from `embed-manager.ts`
- Remove unused `join` import from `index.ts`
- Add retry logic to external API health check (3 attempts, 2s delay) —
container DNS may not be ready on first boot
- Use ES2022 `{ cause: error }` for better error chain preservation
- Add `.catch(() => {})` to `initPromise` to suppress Node.js unhandled
rejection warnings (error is properly handled later in `service.start()`)

Adds an `excludeProviders` option to the OpenClaw plugin config that allows
users to specify message providers (e.g. 'telegram', 'discord') to exclude
from Hindsight memory recall and retention.

Use unique document_id per conversation (sessionKey + timestamp) instead
of static sessionKey. The backend CASCADE-deletes old memories when the
same document_id is reused, causing all prior facts to be lost.
Also:
- Universal envelope stripping for all channels (was Telegram-only)
- Prefer rawMessage over prompt for cleaner recall queries
- Increase recall max_tokens from 512 to 2048

Remove `format: "uri"` from hindsightApiUrl schema property.
OpenClaw's schema validator uses Ajv without ajv-formats loaded, causing:
unknown format "uri" ignored in schema at path "#/properties/hindsightApiUrl"
The URI validation isn't critical since invalid URLs will fail at connection time.
This removes the warning without affecting functionality.
Add support for per-channel memory isolation in OpenClaw plugin.
Each channel (Slack, Telegram, Discord, etc.) gets its own memory bank,
preventing memory leakage between channels.
Changes:
- Add deriveBankId() to create channel-specific bank IDs
- Bank ID format: {messageProvider}-{channelId} (e.g., slack-C123)
- Add getClientForContext() for context-aware client access
- Update hook handlers to (event, ctx) signature
- Set bank mission on first use per dynamic bank
- Add dynamicBankId and bankIdPrefix config options
Configuration:
- dynamicBankId: true (default) enables per-channel isolation
- bankIdPrefix: optional prefix for namespacing (e.g., "prod")

Add support for connecting to an external Hindsight API instead of
starting a local daemon. This enables:
- Shared memory across multiple OpenClaw instances
- Centralized Hindsight deployment (e.g., on GKE)
- Reduced resource usage (no local daemon per instance)
Configuration:
- HINDSIGHT_EMBED_API_URL env var or hindsightApiUrl in plugin config
- HINDSIGHT_EMBED_API_TOKEN env var or hindsightApiToken for auth
When external API is configured:
- Skip local daemon startup
- Health check external API on startup
- Pass API URL/token to CLI commands via env vars
Falls back to local daemon mode when not configured.
Add comprehensive shell argument escaping using POSIX single-quote method.
Problem:
- Current code only escapes single quotes inline
- Other shell metacharacters ($, `, !, etc.) not explicitly handled
- Document ID in retain() was not escaped
Solution:
- Add exported escapeShellArg() function using POSIX single-quote escaping
- Replace inline escaping with shared function
- Escape document ID in retain()
- Add comprehensive tests (17 test cases) covering all shell-special chars
The POSIX single-quote method handles ALL shell metacharacters by wrapping
in single quotes (which protect everything except single quotes themselves)
and escaping any embedded single quotes with '\'' sequence.
* feat(openclaw): use hindsight-embed profiles for configuration
- Replace manual config file writing with hindsight-embed configure command
- Create and use 'openclaw' profile for all hindsight-embed operations
- Add support for openai-codex and claude-code providers
- Map special providers (openai-codex -> openai, claude-code -> anthropic)
- Simplify client by removing getEnv() method
- All CLI commands now use --profile openclaw flag
- Add get_cli_profile_override() function to cli.py for profile_manager
* feat: improve openclaw and hindisght-embed params
* feat: improve openclaw and hindisght-embed params
* feat(embed): remove daemon.lock, add profile-specific logs and --merge flag
* fix(embed): restore metadata.json functionality for profile tests
- Restore ProfileMetadata class and metadata tracking
- Fix profile manager create_profile to support both (name, config) and (name, port, config) signatures
- Auto-allocate ports when not provided in configure command
- Fix --profile flag parsing (was consumed by parent parser)
- All 47 hindsight-embed tests now pass
* fix(embed): support HINDSIGHT_EMBED_LLM_* env vars for backward compatibility
- configure command now accepts both HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_* and HINDSIGHT_EMBED_LLM_* prefixes
- Fixes test_configure_without_profile_flag test
- All 47 hindsight-embed tests pass
* style(embed): apply ruff formatting to cli.py
* fix(embed): simplify test.sh to verify hindsight-embed availability via uv
Removed CLI installation code from smoke test. The test now simply verifies
that hindsight-embed command is available via `uv run`, which is all that's
needed for CI to pass. This fixes the test-embed check that was failing with
"ERROR: hindsight CLI not found".
* fix(embed): remove hindsight-embed availability check from test.sh
The verification step was failing in CI because hindsight-embed --version
doesn't work without configuration. Since pytest tests already verify the
package is installed (47 tests passed), we don't need this check. The smoke
test itself will verify functionality by running retain/recall commands.
* chore(embed): add comment to test.sh to trigger CI
* fix(embed): use HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_* env vars consistently
Remove support for HINDSIGHT_EMBED_LLM_* variables to align with
the standard HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_* naming convention used across the codebase.
Changes:
- Update get_config() to only check HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_* variables
- Update _do_configure_from_env() to remove HINDSIGHT_EMBED_LLM_* fallbacks
- Update test.sh to check for HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY
- Update CI workflow (test-embed job) to set HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_* env vars
Add llmProvider, llmModel, and llmApiKeyEnv to the plugin config schema.
These allow users to choose which LLM Hindsight uses directly from
openclaw.json config without needing HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_* env vars.
Priority order (highest to lowest):
1. HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER env var (unchanged)
2. Plugin config llmProvider/llmModel (NEW)
3. Auto-detect from provider env vars (unchanged)
Backward compatible: no config = same behavior as before.
* feat(hindsight-embed): external API support + OpenClaw fixes
Adds comprehensive external API support and fixes critical OpenClaw plugin issues.
**External API Support:**
- Add HINDSIGHT_EMBED_API_URL to connect to external Hindsight API servers

- Add daemon status checking commands
- Keep only essential configuration examples
- Consolidate troubleshooting sections
* fix(test): update daemon health check port from 8889 to 8888
The test was checking port 8889 but we changed the daemon to use port 8888.
* fix: rename openclawd to openclaw
