Bug Report: Config write size-drop loop in v2026.5.2

Environment:

OpenClaw: 2026.5.2 (8b2a6e5) Node.js: v24.15.0 OS: Windows_NT 10.0.26200 Issue: Gateway tries to persist plugin auto-enable changes → writes a truncated config (~16869 bytes, missing most sections) → size-drop guard rejects it (current: 52121 bytes) → writes .rejected file → auto-restores from backup → retries within seconds → loop repeats.

Frequency: Hundreds of .json.rejected and .json.clobbered files per day. Last 2 files at 19:40 today.

Key logs:

复制 gateway: failed to persist plugin auto-enable changes: Error: Config write rejected: openclaw.json (size-drop:52121->16869) Config auto-restored from backup: openclaw.json (size-drop-vs-last-good:52121->16869) channel reload still deferred after 2665562ms Current config (52121 bytes) is healthy. The rejected payload is consistently ~16869 bytes — gateway appears to be generating a malformed write payload missing models, channels, bindings, gateway sections.

Impact:

Feishu channel reload deferred for minutes at a time System instability during deferral windows

TL;DR

The gateway is generating a malformed write payload, causing a config write size-drop loop, which can be fixed by identifying and correcting the issue with the plugin auto-enable changes.

Guidance

  • Investigate the plugin auto-enable changes to determine why the gateway is generating a truncated config payload missing models, channels, bindings, and gateway sections.
  • Review the code responsible for persisting plugin auto-enable changes to ensure it is correctly handling the config data.
  • Check the OpenClaw version and Node.js version for any known issues or compatibility problems.
  • Consider temporarily disabling the plugin auto-enable feature to prevent the loop from occurring while investigating the issue.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include specific code details.

Notes

The issue appears to be specific to the OpenClaw version 2026.5.2 and Node.js version v24.15.0, so any fixes or workarounds may be version-dependent.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by temporarily disabling the plugin auto-enable feature to prevent the loop from occurring while investigating the issue, as the root cause is not immediately clear and may require further debugging.
