What happened?

Voice Call sessionScope: "per-phone" can lose repeat-caller continuity across Gateway restarts because the voice-call plugin resolves callers to raw voice:* session keys while Gateway startup migration canonicalizes those keys into agent:<agentId>:voice:*.

This is a Voice Call regression/conflict after the per-phone/per-call sessionScope work in
#45280

It is tangentially related to #63005, but this issue is narrower: the official @openclaw/voice-call plugin should use the post-migration/canonical session key format, or otherwise coordinate with the migration layer, so per-phone mode keeps its documented memory behavior.

Environment

• OpenClaw 2026.5.7 (eeef486)
• @openclaw/voice-call 2026.5.7
• Ubuntu host, global npm install, Gateway service
• Voice Call configured with:
  • agentId: "main"
  • sessionScope: "per-phone"

Observed behavior

The installed Voice Call session resolver produced raw session keys:

if (params.config.sessionScope === "per-call") return `voice:call:${params.callId}`;
const normalizedPhone = params.phone?.replace(/\D/g, "");
return normalizedPhone ? `voice:${normalizedPhone}` : `voice:${params.callId}`;

Gateway startup then repeatedly logged canonicalization of those raw keys:

gateway: canonicalized orphaned session keys
Canonicalized 1 orphaned session key(s) in .../agents/main/sessions/sessions.json
Canonicalized 2 orphaned session key(s) in .../agents/main/sessions/sessions.json

After startup migration, the session store contains canonical keys like:

agent:main:voice:<normalizedPhone>

but Voice Call inbound resolution still asks for:

voice:<normalizedPhone>

Expected behavior

sessionScope: "per-phone" should keep a stable session for the same caller across Gateway restarts.

Voice Call should resolve per-phone and per-call sessions using the same canonical session key format that survives Gateway migration, for example:

agent:<agentId>:voice:<normalizedPhone>
agent:<agentId>:voice:call:<callId>

Local workaround

Patching the installed voice-call resolver to emit agent-scoped keys stopped the mismatch locally:

 function resolveVoiceCallSessionKey(params) {
   const explicit = params.explicitSessionKey?.trim();
   if (explicit) return explicit;
-  if (params.config.sessionScope === "per-call") return `voice:call:${params.callId}`;
+  const agentId = params.config.agentId?.trim() || "main";
+  const voicePrefix = `agent:${agentId}:voice`;
+  if (params.config.sessionScope === "per-call") return `${voicePrefix}:call:${params.callId}`;
   const normalizedPhone = params.phone?.replace(/\D/g, "");
-  return normalizedPhone ? `voice:${normalizedPhone}` : `voice:${params.callId}`;
+  return normalizedPhone ? `${voicePrefix}:${normalizedPhone}` : `${voicePrefix}:${params.callId}`;
 }

Impact

• Breaks or risks breaking the per-phone memory guarantee introduced by Feature request: per-call session scope for voice-call plugin #45280.
• Shows up after Gateway restarts, because startup migration rewrites/prunes raw session keys.
• Can split the same caller between voice:* and agent:<agentId>:voice:* records.
• Severity is high for phone assistants that rely on caller continuity.
