OpenClaw Session Rollup And Dream Pipeline
The local setup does more than keep raw daily memory files. It also runs a nightly reflective layer that writes session rollups, attempts to refresh search indexes, and generates dream-diary-style narrative summaries from curated memory fragments.
Pipeline Shape
- Roll up raw session activity into markdown under
session_memory/rollups/. - Update QMD collections for workspace memory, session-memory pages, and related docs.
- Generate dreaming transcripts that rewrite memory fragments into narrative text in
deep,light, orremmodes. - Preserve these reflective artifacts separately from durable memory and operator-facing wiki pages.
Why It Exists
- Rollups compress high-volume operational history into something humans can scan later.
- Dream transcripts act as a creative synthesis layer that surfaces recurring motifs and possible long-term themes. ^[inferred]
- The separation prevents
MEMORY.mdand daily notes from turning into a mixed pile of raw telemetry and reflective prose.
Failure Modes Seen In Logs
qmd-update.logshows repeated/bin/sh: qmd: command not found, which means part of the indexing path was scheduled before the CLI was reliably available.session-memory-rollup.err.logshows repeatedEPERMfailures opening/Users/mac/Downloads/qmd-main/dist/qmd.js, which points to a brittle QMD path assumption.- Successful
session-memory-rollup.out.logruns still show the intended behavior clearly: update multiple collections, then request a laterqmd embedpass for missing vectors.

Practical Rule
Treat dream and rollup artifacts as exploratory compression layers. They are useful for surfacing themes, but they should not outrank explicit rules in MEMORY.md, daily notes, or manually curated wiki pages.
