+
+OpenClaw 4.23+ / 2026.4.22+ requires the entry-level hook policy `plugins.entries.mem9.hooks.allowConversationAccess = true` for `agent_end` to include conversation messages. Without it, mem9 can still load, but automatic conversation upload cannot read the conversation to ingest it. This is an OpenClaw plugin-entry permission, not a mem9 `config` field. Older OpenClaw builds that reject this hook policy should omit the `hooks` block and upgrade for full automatic conversation upload.
 
 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.
