OpenClaw First-Run Memory Doctor 20260818 — Release Notes

What it does

OpenClaw First-Run Memory Doctor helps teams validate first-run memory setup evidence before relying on an agent workspace. It reviews redacted notes for backend choice, storage path, retention rules, promotion logic, retrieval and write tests, restart persistence, permissions, backup, restore, health checks, and ownership.

The result gives operators a clear PASS, REVIEW, BLOCKED, or ERROR signal. It is read-only and designed to catch memory setup gaps before they become operational support issues.

Use cases

• Agent platform operators validating a new OpenClaw memory setup before wider use.
• Support teams collecting evidence for persistence, backup, restore, and retrieval behavior.
• Governance reviewers checking whether memory ownership, retention, and promotion rules are documented.

Requirements

• Python 3 with standard-library modules only.
• Redacted setup notes supplied through `--text` or a single local `--notes` file.
• No API keys required.
• OpenClaw workspace capable of running local skill scripts.

Example usage

python3 scripts/openclaw_first_run_memory_doctor.py --text "memory backend selected; storage path documented; retention policy approved; promotion rule defined; retrieval test passed; write test passed; restart persistence verified; permission check complete; backup plan documented; restore test passed; health check green; owner assigned" --json

Expected output: JSON with `verdict` set to `PASS`, memory setup signals found, any missing evidence listed, and `mutated_files: []`.
