+- OpenClaw 2026.6.10+ now loads the plugin correctly. The plugin manifest declares all Nowledge Mem agent tools through `contracts.tools`, matching OpenClaw's newer tool-ownership contract and preventing startup failures such as `must declare contracts.tools before registering agent tools`.
+- Thread sync, memory search, and `nowledge_mem_status` are available again after upgrading OpenClaw and restarting the gateway.

 Nowledge Mem's CLI-backed Working Memory, memory search/save, and the plugin's API-backed thread/feed fallbacks will then stay in that lane together. There is no second OpenClaw-only vault setting; the shared Mem boundary is still one hidden space key, but humans and agents should normally work with the space name instead.
 
-For multi-agent orchestrators, set `NMEM_AGENT_ID=<agent-slug>` per spawned OpenClaw worker. Add `NMEM_SPACE` only when that run should override the AI Identity's default space. `NMEM_HOST_AGENT_ID` is for advanced host-id aliases. Context Bundle will use the stable identity while keeping `source_app=openclaw` for provenance. Keep these as launcher environment variables instead of plugin config keys so OpenClaw's strict config validation remains stable.

 Shared spaces, default retrieval, and agent guidance still live in Mem's own space profile. OpenClaw chooses the lane and preserves it across transports; it should not duplicate the profile semantics.

+If OpenClaw logs `must declare contracts.tools before registering agent tools`, update the plugin to `0.8.27` or newer and restart OpenClaw. That error means a newer OpenClaw build is enforcing plugin tool ownership metadata before it accepts runtime tool registration.

 Update to `0.8.15` or newer. Older builds could disable the plugin too early when `memory-core` owned the memory slot, which made supplement mode look unavailable even on new OpenClaw builds.
