Description

After upgrading OpenClaw to version v2026.5.5, the configuration validation fails with an error stating "Unrecognized key: bundledDiscovery" when starting the service.

Environment

  • OS: Darwin 24.6.0 (arm64) - macOS
  • Node: v25.8.2
  • OpenClaw Version: v2026.5.5 (upgraded from previous version)
  • Workspace: /Users/samson1357924/.openclaw/workspace

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Upgrade OpenClaw to v2026.5.5
  2. Start the OpenClaw service
  3. Observe configuration validation error

Expected Behavior

The service should start normally with the existing configuration.

Actual Behavior

Configuration validation fails with the following error:

Unrecognized key: bundledDiscovery

Error Log

[Error message from startup logs showing the validation failure]

Configuration

The bundledDiscovery key was present in the configuration before the upgrade and was working correctly.

Related Issues

  • Similar configuration validation issues: #60963, #77155

Additional Context

This appears to be a regression in the configuration schema validation introduced in v2026.5.4/v2026.5.5, where previously valid configuration keys are now being rejected.

Possible Solution

  • Either restore support for the bundledDiscovery key, or
  • Provide clear migration instructions for users who were using this configuration option
