After updating workspace paths in openclaw.json, the Control UI agent menu shows all workspace files (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md, HEARTBEAT.md, MEMORY.md) as "็ผบๅคฑ" (missing), even though:

  1. All files exist at the configured paths
  2. openclaw.json has correct workspace paths
  3. Gateway logs show no errors
  4. The agent runs correctly and reads the files

Root Cause

After updating workspace paths in openclaw.json, the Control UI agent menu shows all workspace files (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md, HEARTBEAT.md, MEMORY.md) as "็ผบๅคฑ" (missing), even though:

  1. All files exist at the configured paths
  2. openclaw.json has correct workspace paths
  3. Gateway logs show no errors
  4. The agent runs correctly and reads the files

Code Example

{

Description

After updating workspace paths in openclaw.json, the Control UI agent menu shows all workspace files (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md, HEARTBEAT.md, MEMORY.md) as "็ผบๅคฑ" (missing), even though:

  1. All files exist at the configured paths
  2. openclaw.json has correct workspace paths
  3. Gateway logs show no errors
  4. The agent runs correctly and reads the files

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Configure workspace paths in openclaw.json (e.g., C:\Users\<user>\.openclaw\workspace-<agent>)
  2. Ensure all .md files exist in the workspace directory
  3. Restart Gateway
  4. Open Control UI โ†’ Agent menu
  5. Observe: all workspace files show as "็ผบๅคฑ"

Expected Behavior

Control UI should display workspace files as present when they exist at the configured path.

Actual Behavior

All workspace files are shown as "็ผบๅคฑ" (missing) in the UI, regardless of their actual presence on disk.

Environment

  • OpenClaw version: v2026.5.9-beta.1 (0d3141e)
  • OS: Windows 11
  • Node.js: v24.15.0
  • Browser: Chrome / Edge (tried both, same result)

Additional Context

  • Gateway logs show no workspace-related errors
  • openclaw.json config has correct paths verified with Test-Path
  • Agent functions correctly (reads files, processes messages)
  • Issue persists after browser cache clear and different browsers
  • This may be a UI-side file detection bug, not affecting actual agent operation

Workspace Path Example

{
  "id": "baom",
  "workspace": "C:\\Users\\ohohf\\.openclaw\\workspace-baom"
}

Directory contains: AGENTS.md, HEARTBEAT.md, IDENTITY.md, MEMORY.md, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, USER.md (all verified to exist)
