openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix 2026.4.5 regression: memory plugin fails — "embedding: must have required property 'embedding'" (framework config validation) [1 comments, 1 participants]

The AJV error instancePath: "/embedding", message: "must have required property 'embedding'" also suggests the validator may be running the plugin's configSchema against the wrong nesting level — passing config.embedding as the root instead of config.

TL;DR

Update the framework's memoryConfigSchema to allow third-party plugins to validate against their own schema or modify the plugin's configSchema to comply with the framework's stock schema.

Guidance

• Review the memoryConfigSchema in dist/config-DCcTsPpK.js to understand the current validation rules.
• Check the configSchema in openclaw.plugin.json for the memory-lancedb-pro plugin to see the expected validation rules.
• Consider modifying the framework's memoryConfigSchema to allow for additional config keys or updating the plugin's configSchema to use lowercase baseUrl instead of baseURL.
• Verify that the embedding sub-schema is being validated correctly by checking the nesting level of the config object.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not imply a specific code change.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to a change in the framework's validation rules in version 2026.4.5. The workaround requires modifying framework files directly, which may not be desirable.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the plugin's configSchema to comply with the framework's stock schema, specifically by using lowercase baseUrl instead of baseURL. This is a safer approach than modifying the framework's files directly.
