openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix memory-wiki lint: sources/ directory requires frontmatter on raw imported files [1 participants]

Bug Description

The wiki_lint command reports errors for files in the sources/ directory, requiring frontmatter fields (id, pageType, updatedAt) even when these files are imported raw materials that should be preserved in their original state.

Expected Behavior

According to the official documentation:

sources/ — for imported raw material and bridge-backed pages

This suggests sources/ is intended for raw, unmodified content (e.g., web scrapes, imported articles). The lint rule requiring frontmatter on these files conflicts with the "raw material" intent.

Actual Behavior

``` $ openclaw wiki lint Issues: 3 total (2 errors, 1 warnings)

• sources/paths.md: Missing id frontmatter.
• sources/paths.md: Missing pageType frontmatter.
• sources/paths.md: Page freshness needs review (missing updatedAt). ```

Conflict Analysis

This creates a design contradiction:

1. If sources/ truly contains "raw material", adding frontmatter modifies the original content
2. If frontmatter is required, then sources/ is not actually storing "raw material"

Suggested Fixes

Option A: Exclude sources/ directory from frontmatter lint checks

• The lint rule should only apply to generated wiki pages, not imported raw materials

Option B: Clarify that sources/ is NOT for raw original files

• Update documentation to clarify that all wiki files require frontmatter, including imported content

Option C: Add a "raw mode" for sources/ files

• Allow some files in sources/ to be marked as "preserve-as-is" without frontmatter requirements

Environment

• OpenClaw version: 2026.4.x (latest)
• Memory-wiki vault mode: isolated
• Config: bridge enabled, Obsidian enabled
