fix(memory): align session file counter denominator with indexer filter (fixes #77338) by liuhao1024 · Pull Request #95452 · openclaw/openclaw

liuhao1024 · 2026-06-21T01:50:52Z

What Problem This Solves

openclaw memory status reports sessions · N/M where N can exceed M because the denominator scanner used a simpler .endsWith(".jsonl") filter while the indexer uses the canonical isUsageCountedSessionTranscriptFileName() function. The scanner therefore missed usage-counted reset/deleted archives that the indexer includes, while backup/checkpoint/trajectory artifacts should remain excluded.

What does this PR do?

Aligns the scanSessionFiles denominator filter in extensions/memory-core/src/cli.runtime.ts with the indexer by using the canonical isUsageCountedSessionTranscriptFileName() helper from the plugin SDK.

Bug fix (non-breaking)
AI-assisted (Hermes Agent)

Changes Made

extensions/memory-core/src/cli.runtime.ts: import isUsageCountedSessionTranscriptFileName from openclaw/plugin-sdk/memory-core-host-engine-qmd
extensions/memory-core/src/cli.runtime.ts: use the canonical helper for scanSessionFiles instead of .endsWith(".jsonl")

How to Test

Build the source checkout or run through node scripts/run-node.mjs.
Create an isolated OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR with session transcript artifacts:
- primary.jsonl
- primary.jsonl.reset.2026-02-16T22-26-33.000Z
- primary.jsonl.deleted.2026-02-16T22-27-33.000Z
- primary.jsonl.bak.2026-02-16T22-28-33.000Z
- primary.checkpoint.11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111.jsonl
- primary.trajectory.jsonl
Run openclaw memory status --agent main --no-color with memorySearch.sources=["memory","sessions"] and experimental.sessionMemory=true.
Confirm the session denominator is 3: primary + reset + deleted are counted; backup + checkpoint + trajectory are excluded.

Evidence

Behavior addressed: session status denominator now uses the same usage-counted session transcript predicate as the memory indexer.
Environment tested: macOS local source checkout, Node v22.22.3, pnpm v11.2.2, isolated OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR under /tmp.
Steps run after the patch:

$ find "$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/agents/main/sessions" -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec basename {} \; | sort
primary.checkpoint.11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111.jsonl
primary.jsonl
primary.jsonl.bak.2026-02-16T22-28-33.000Z
primary.jsonl.deleted.2026-02-16T22-27-33.000Z
primary.jsonl.reset.2026-02-16T22-26-33.000Z

FTS: ready

Observed result after fix: The session source reports sessions · 0/3 files for six on-disk artifacts. The denominator includes primary.jsonl, .jsonl.reset.*, and .jsonl.deleted.*, and excludes .jsonl.bak.*, .checkpoint.*.jsonl, and .trajectory.jsonl.
What was not tested: A production container was not touched; the proof uses an isolated local state directory with the same session artifact filename classes.

Real behavior proof

Behavior: openclaw memory status --agent main --no-color was run against an isolated state directory containing primary, reset/deleted, backup, checkpoint, and trajectory session artifacts.
Environment: macOS local source checkout, Node v22.22.3, pnpm v11.2.2, OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR=/tmp/openclaw-memory-status-proof.<redacted>/state.
Evidence: command output above shows Sources: memory, sessions and By source: sessions · 0/3 files with all six artifact filenames present on disk.
Observed result: reset/deleted archives are included in the denominator, while backup/checkpoint/trajectory artifacts are excluded.
Not tested: no production state or user data was accessed.

Codex review: needs maintainer review before merge. Reviewed June 21, 2026, 9:18 PM ET / 01:18 UTC.

Summary
The PR changes memory-core status scanning to count session files with the existing usage-counted transcript predicate instead of a strict .jsonl suffix.

PR surface: Source +1. Total +1 across 1 file.

Reproducibility: yes. at source level. Current main renders the session denominator from a strict .jsonl scan while the session listing/indexing path uses the usage-counted helper; I did not run a live current-main CLI repro in this read-only review.

Review metrics: none identified.

Proposal only: this assessment does not dispatch repair, suppress jobs, mutate sibling items, close, or merge anything.

Merge readiness
Overall: 🐚 platinum hermit
Proof: 🦞 diamond lobster
Patch quality: 🐚 platinum hermit
Result: ready for maintainer review.

Overall follows the weaker of proof and patch quality, so missing proof can cap an otherwise strong patch.

Rank-up moves:

[P2] Get the current exact-head CI failures green or explicitly documented as unrelated before merge.

Risk before merge

[P1] Exact-head CI still has three failed check runs, so maintainers should require a green rerun or explicitly disposition them before merge.
[P1] The linked issue contains dirty-state and archive-search policy discussion beyond the denominator mismatch; merging this PR should not be treated as resolving those broader questions unless maintainers accept that scope.

Maintainer options:

Decide the mitigation before merge
Land the predicate alignment once exact-head validation is green or explicitly dispositioned, and keep any remaining dirty-state or archive-search concerns tracked separately.
Pause or close
Do not merge this PR until maintainers decide whether the risk is worth taking.

Next step before merge

No automated repair is needed; maintainers should decide merge after exact-head CI failures are resolved or dispositioned and the linked issue scope is accepted.

Security
Cleared: Cleared: the diff only reuses an existing local SDK helper in one runtime filter and changes no dependencies, workflows, credentials, permissions, or package metadata.

Review details

Best possible solution:

Land the predicate alignment once exact-head validation is green or explicitly dispositioned, and keep any remaining dirty-state or archive-search concerns tracked separately.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

Yes at source level. Current main renders the session denominator from a strict .jsonl scan while the session listing/indexing path uses the usage-counted helper; I did not run a live current-main CLI repro in this read-only review.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

Yes for the denominator mismatch. Reusing the existing usage-counted filename predicate is the narrowest maintainable fix; changing archive indexing or dirty-state behavior would be separate work.

AGENTS.md: found and applied where relevant.

What I checked:

Root policy read: Root AGENTS.md was read fully; its whole-surface PR review and extension boundary guidance were applied. (AGENTS.md:1, 29eba5aaefa2)
Scoped extension policy read: extensions/AGENTS.md allows bundled plugin production code to import through openclaw/plugin-sdk/*, matching this PR's import seam. (extensions/AGENTS.md:11, 29eba5aaefa2)
Current main denominator mismatch: Current main still counts session status denominator files with entry.name.endsWith(".jsonl"), which diverges from the session listing/indexing predicate. (extensions/memory-core/src/cli.runtime.ts:529, 29eba5aaefa2)
Status output uses scan total: The visible Indexed line renders status.files against scan.totalFiles, so scanSessionFiles is the user-visible denominator path. (extensions/memory-core/src/cli.runtime.ts:855, 29eba5aaefa2)
Indexer/listing predicate: listSessionFilesForAgent filters entries with isUsageCountedSessionTranscriptFileName, the predicate reused by the PR. (packages/memory-host-sdk/src/host/session-files.ts:296, 29eba5aaefa2)
Canonical artifact contract: The shared helper counts primary, reset, and deleted transcript filenames while excluding backup, checkpoint, and trajectory artifacts; adjacent tests assert those cases. (src/config/sessions/artifacts.ts:115, 29eba5aaefa2)

What the crustacean ranks mean

🦀 challenger crab: rare, exceptional readiness with strong proof, clean implementation, and convincing validation.
🦞 diamond lobster: very strong readiness with only minor maintainer review expected.
🐚 platinum hermit: good normal PR, likely mergeable with ordinary maintainer review.
🦐 gold shrimp: useful signal, but proof or patch confidence is still limited.
🦪 silver shellfish: thin signal; proof, validation, or implementation needs work.
🧂 unranked krab: not merge-ready because proof is missing/unusable or there are serious correctness or safety concerns.
🌊 off-meta tidepool: rating does not apply to this item.

Shiny media proof means a screenshot, video, or linked artifact directly shows the changed behavior. Runtime, network, CSP, and security claims still need visible diagnostics.

Updated the PR body with real openclaw memory status --agent main --no-color output from an isolated state directory containing primary, reset/deleted, backup, checkpoint, and trajectory session artifacts. The output shows Sources: memory, sessions and sessions · 0/3 files, proving reset/deleted archives are counted while backup/checkpoint/trajectory artifacts are excluded. No empty re-trigger commit was pushed.

liuhao1024 · 2026-06-21T16:30:41Z

Cleaned this PR branch onto latest upstream/main and removed the stale ci: re-trigger... history. The new head contains one real commit (dbc5ae64) with:

the memory status denominator fix: scanSessionFiles() now uses isUsageCountedSessionTranscriptFileName() so status matches the indexer session-file contract.
a test-only CI unblock for checks-node-core-tooling: the gateway restart bench test now verifies the DB-first gateway_restart_intent row instead of the removed legacy gateway-restart-intent.json file. That was the failure in the previous CI run and reproduces on current upstream/main.

Fresh local verification after rebasing onto upstream/main:

node scripts/run-vitest.mjs run test/scripts/bench-gateway-restart.test.ts src/infra/restart-intent.test.ts → 39 tests passed.
node scripts/run-vitest.mjs run src/config/sessions/artifacts.test.ts extensions/memory-core/src/cli.test.ts → 78 tests passed.
node scripts/run-tsgo.mjs -p tsconfig.extensions.json → exit 0.
git diff --check HEAD~1..HEAD → exit 0.
Real CLI proof against an isolated state dir with primary, reset/deleted, backup, checkpoint, and trajectory session artifacts:
- Sources: memory, sessions
- Indexed: 0/3 files · 0 chunks
- sessions · 0/3 files · 0 chunks

…er (fixes openclaw#77338) scanSessionFiles() used .endsWith('.jsonl') to count session files, but the indexer also ingests .jsonl.reset.* and .jsonl.deleted.* artifacts. This caused the denominator to undercount, making openclaw memory status report N/M where N > M. Use the existing isUsageCountedSessionTranscriptFileName() helper — already used by the indexer and session-cost-usage — so both sides agree on which filenames count.
