: memory-lancedb-pro fails to initialize: embedding config validation error

[learningmorewithai-cloud]

Plugin Version

1.10.beta.9

OpenClaw Version

2026.4.11

Bug Description

Bug Description

Plugin memory-lancedb-pro registers successfully but fails to initialize with a JSON Schema validation error:

memory-lancedb-pro invalid config: embedding: must have required property "embedding"

Expected Behavior

Plugin initializes and connects to LanceDB with the provided Jina embeddings config.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install memory-lancedb-pro plugin
2. Configure with embedding provider set to openai-compatible + Jina v5 model
3. Run any OpenClaw command that triggers plugin initialization

Observed Behavior

• Plugin registers (plugin registered log appears)
• openclaw memory CLI fails because plugin fails to initialize
• Memory stays unavailable despite enabled: true

Error Logs / Screenshots

Notes

• Config reads back as correct via openclaw config get
• Error suggests the plugin's ajv schema checks for a nested embedding.embedding property that doesn't exist in the config structure — likely a schema mismatch between plugin version and OpenClaw version

Embedding Provider

None

OS / Platform

No response

Thanks for the detailed report. From the symptoms, this does look more like a schema/config-shape compatibility bug than a user configuration problem: if the config round-trips correctly via openclaw config get but AJV still demands a nested embedding.embedding, the mismatch is likely in validation or normalization rather than in your input.

I’m treating this as a valid bug report. If you can share the exact config snippet that triggers it, that would help confirm whether the break is in schema shape, adapter normalization, or version compatibility with the OpenClaw side.

Here's the exact config that triggers it:

{
"enabled": true,
"config": {
"autoCapture": true,
"autoCaptureTypes": ["text", "image", "audio"],
"autoRecall": true,
"sessionStrategy": "memoryReflection",
"embedding": {
"provider": "openai-compatible",
"apiKey": "jina_...",
"model": "jina-embeddings-v5-text-small",
"baseURL": "https://api.jina.ai/v1"
}
}
}

The embedding object sits directly inside config at the top level. AJV error says embedding must have required property embedding — suggesting the schema expects config.embedding.embedding instead of config.embedding.

Additional context for GitHub:

• Config round-trips correctly through openclaw config get (valid JSON)
• The error appears at plugin initialization,

• Plugin version: memory-lancedb-pro@1.1.0-beta.9
• OpenClaw version: 2026.4.9

Additional info:
The bundled memory-lancedb works fine with the same embedding config. The issue appears to be specific to the memory-lancedb-pro plugin's AJV schema definition.
