Summary

When memory.backend = "qmd", openclaw memory status --deep reports Embeddings: unavailable and Vector: disabled for all agents, even though QMD has 121K+ vectors indexed and working.

Impact

The dreaming deep phase uses the memory adapter's embedding status to determine relevance scoring quality. When it sees "unavailable," the avgScore signal used in promotion ranking is degraded — entries that should have distinct quality scores end up with similar flat scores, making the deep phase unable to distinguish high-value from low-value candidates.

Expected Behavior

When memory.backend = "qmd", the memory adapter should query QMD's embedding status (which is healthy — using embeddinggemma-300M + Qwen3-Reranker) and report it as available.

Environment

  • OpenClaw 2026.5.22
  • memory.backend: qmd
  • QMD: 121,798 vectors, embeddinggemma-300M, Qwen3-Reranker-0.6B
  • memory-core dreaming enabled
