OpenClaw session ingestion
OpenClaw session ingestion
AIWG reads OpenClaw sessions through the Gateway or through an explicitly selected projection created from a consistent SQLite backup. The Gateway is the source of truth, especially in remote mode. Raw `openclaw-agent.sqlite` files are not accepted because copying a live WAL-backed database does not prove a consistent view.
Supported boundaries
- `openclaw-gateway-api`: negotiated read-only Gateway acquisition with explicit
`openclaw.gateway.sessions.read` authorization.
- `openclaw-consistent-snapshot-jsonl`: schema-16/event-v3 projection carrying
`snapshotConsistency: "sqlite-backup"`.
- `openclaw-bounded-history-jsonl`, `openclaw-html-projection-jsonl`, and
`openclaw-trajectory-jsonl`: useful but explicitly incomplete projections.
The adapter preserves session windows, session-key/conversation mappings, event parent trees, model and usage data, tool and media state, stable idempotency keys, recovery state, opaque event JSON, and reset/fork/rewind/compaction lineage. Unknown schema-16 or event-v3 major successors fail closed.
Explicit degraded states
Incognito capture reports `inaccessible` and cannot be streamed. A remote Gateway whose host identity does not match the authorized host reports `degraded` and cannot be streamed. Bounded history, HTML, and trajectory sources report `degraded`, `provisional`, and `lossless: false`; a history gap is never presented as a complete transcript.
Deleting an AIWG copy does not mutate the Gateway or provider store. Reset history and archived transcripts may remain in OpenClaw under its retention and disk-budget policy.
