Every time I run the doctor, it finds orphaned sessions. I do think this is a big problem when sessions just go missing like this... but a feature could be to re-add them. To openclaw like they are not orphaned any more

Problem to solve

Every time I run the doctor, it finds orphaned sessions. I do think this is a big problem when sessions just go missing like this... but a feature could be to re-add them. To openclaw like they are not orphaned any more

Proposed solution

My understanding is that there is a list of all known sessions; when a session (file) is not in that list, it's considered orphaned. My proposal is a feature to re-add them into that list... so instead of saying it's orphaned, actually add it to the parent list.

Alternatives considered

Alternative is to keep is as it is, doctor justs adds deleted to the name and let it get lost...

Impact

I am not really sure; I think the impact is that orphaned sessions are not in the interface and maybe outside of memory and dreaming scope, so information and context are lost.
