PR #65780: fix(agents+misc): compaction reload + memory-alt dedup + plugin model allowlist

Repository: openclaw/openclaw
Author: EronFan
State: closed | merged: False
Link: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/pull/65780

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Fixes\n\n### #65602 — reserveTokens overwritten by resourceLoader.reload()\n`resourceLoader.reload()` calls `settingsManager.reload()` which resets the override state set by `applyPiCompactionSettingsFromConfig()`. Fix: call it again after reload.\n\n### #65769 — memory-alt-main collection not found on macOS case-insensitive fs\nOn macOS HFS+/APFS, `MEMORY.md` and `memory.md` resolve to the same inode. Fix: stat both files and skip memory-alt if inode matches memory-root.\n\n### #65763 — Plugin-registered provider models return 'model not allowed'\nWhen allowAny=false (explicit allowlist configured), plugin-registered provider models were silently dropped because they are not in cfg.models.providers. Fix: mark plugin entries isFromPlugin=true in augmentModelCatalogWithProviderPlugins, then auto-add them to allowedKeys in buildAllowedModelSet.\n\n## Testing\n- pi-settings (8✅) + backend-config (19✅) + qmd-manager (83✅) + model-selection (82✅) + model-catalog (10✅)\n

Version: 2026.4.10 OS: macOS 15.7.4 (arm64) — case-insensitive HFS+ filesystem

Root Cause (traced to source)

backend-config-Dd45Inug.js defines three default memory collections for the main agent:

memory-root-main → workspace path, pattern MEMORY.md
memory-alt-main → workspace path, pattern memory.md
memory-dir-main → workspace/memory path, pattern **/*.md

On macOS with a case-insensitive filesystem, memory.md and MEMORY.md resolve to the same inode. When ensureCollections() tries to add memory-alt-main with pattern memory.md, qmd either:

Fails to create the collection because the resolved path conflicts with the already-created memory-root-main, OR
Creates the collection but with 0 files (qmd uses case-sensitive glob internally)

Result: memory-alt-main is never present in the managed DB. Every search targeting it fails with Collection not found: memory-alt-main, triggering the builtin fallback. This also causes the active-memory plugin's embedded LLM call to time out at 15s (slower builtin path).

Confirmed via:

XDG_CACHE_HOME=~/.openclaw/agents/main/qmd/xdg-cache XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/.openclaw/agents/main/qmd/xdg-config qmd collection list
# Shows: memory-dir-main, openclaw-docs, memory-files, memory-root-main
# memory-alt-main is absent

Proposed Fix

In resolveDefaultMemoryCollections() (backend-config.ts), skip creating memory-alt when the resolved canonical path of memory.md is identical (case-insensitive or inode comparison) to the already-added MEMORY.md entry. Or deduplicate by inode before calling addCollection.

Workaround

Switch active-memory model to a lighter/faster one (e.g. claude-haiku-4-5) to reduce impact of the builtin fallback timeout. The collection missing issue persists either way.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Modify the resolveDefaultMemoryCollections() function in backend-config.ts to skip creating memory-alt-main when its resolved path conflicts with memory-root-main on case-insensitive filesystems.

Guidance

Verify the issue by running the provided command to check if memory-alt-main is present in the managed DB.
To fix, update resolveDefaultMemoryCollections() to perform a case-insensitive comparison of the resolved paths for memory.md and MEMORY.md.
Consider deduplicating collections by inode before calling addCollection to prevent similar issues in the future.
As a temporary workaround, switch to a lighter active-memory model to reduce the impact of the builtin fallback timeout.

Example

// backend-config.ts
function resolveDefaultMemoryCollections() {
  // ...
  const memoryRootPath = 'MEMORY.md';
  const memoryAltPath = 'memory.md';
  if (isCaseInsensitiveFilesystem() && getCanonicalPath(memoryRootPath) === getCanonicalPath(memoryAltPath)) {
    // Skip creating memory-alt-main to avoid conflict
    return;
  }
  // ...
}

Notes

This fix assumes that the issue is specific to case-insensitive filesystems and that the conflict is due to the identical resolved paths. Additional testing may be necessary to ensure the fix works as expected.

Recommendation

Apply the proposed fix to resolveDefaultMemoryCollections() to correctly handle case-insensitive filesystems and prevent collection conflicts. This approach directly addresses the root cause and provides a more robust solution than relying on workarounds.
