[BUG] auto-recall timeout causes Discord INTERACTION_CREATE to fail (120s timeout)

[jlin53882]

Environment

• OpenClaw: 2026.4.12
• memory-lancedb-pro: 1.1.0-beta.10
• Platform: Windows (win32)

Problem Description

The autoRecall feature causes severe blocking issues, leading to Discord INTERACTION_CREATE listener timeouts.

Error Log

memory-lancedb-pro: auto-recall timed out after 15000ms; skipping memory injection to avoid stalling agent startup
{"scope":"event-queue","level":"error","type":"listener-timeout","listener":"InteractionEventListener","eventType":"INTERACTION_CREATE","lane":"critical","timeoutMs":120000}

Impact

• Discord interaction events timeout after 120 seconds
• Agent startup is blocked by auto-recall queries
• Gateway becomes unresponsive

Suggested Fix

Consider implementing one of the following:

1. Make autoRecall non-blocking (fire-and-forget with timeout)
2. Add a circuit breaker that disables auto-recall after N consecutive failures
3. Lower default autoRecallTimeoutMs to avoid blocking gateway event queue

Additional Note

Also found a potential bug in index.ts line 441 where path.join() is used but path is not imported — only join is imported from node:path. This causes ReferenceError: path is not defined at runtime on Windows.

// Line 8: imports join, dirname, basename from "node:path"
// Line 441: uses path.join() — path is undefined
const winPath = path.join(appdata, "npm", "node_modules", "openclaw", "dist", "extensionAPI.js");

Should be join(appdata, ...) instead.
