+| `debugRecall` | boolean | Deprecated alias for `debug` |
 | `tenantID` | string | Legacy alias for `apiKey`. The plugin still uses `/v1alpha2/mem9s/...` with `X-API-Key`. |
 
 > **Note**: `apiKey` takes precedence when both fields are set. If only `tenantID` is present, the plugin treats it as a legacy alias for `apiKey`, still uses v1alpha2, and logs a deprecation warning once at startup. `provisionToken` and `provisionQueryParams` are ignored after an `apiKey` is already configured, and non-`utm_*` keys are dropped before the provision request is sent. During create-new onboarding, the plugin shares one in-flight provision result across concurrent local registrations and reuses the persisted result for the same `provisionToken`, so repeated reloads or repeated setup retries do not create multiple keys.
 
+For debugging, set `"debug": true` in the plugin config. The plugin will emit `[mem9][debug]` lines; current coverage shows how `before_prompt_build` stripped OpenClaw metadata wrappers before issuing the recall search. `"debugRecall": true` still works as a deprecated alias.

 ## Timeout Behavior
 
 The plugin uses two timeout buckets:
