* fix(memory-core): prevent staged dream candidates from leaking into MEMORY.md
* fix(memory-core): correct PromotionComponents shape in dream-fence test fixture
Dreaming's deep-phase promotion path appends to ~/.openclaw/workspace-<agent>/MEMORY.md
without a durable size budget. After weeks of use, the file grows past the bootstrap
injection cap (~12KB/file), at which point bootstrap silently truncates promoted memory
and (per the issue body) session writes can hit lock timeouts that wedge the gateway.
Adds a bounded compaction step in applyShortTermPromotions: before each write, drop the
OLDEST auto-promoted sections (date-ordered) until existing + new section fits within
memoryFileMaxChars (default 10,000 chars, safely below the 12KB bootstrap cap).
User-authored content is preserved unconditionally; only dreaming-owned sections are
eligible for compaction.
Verified:
- pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
- pnpm test extensions/memory-core/src/memory-budget.test.ts extensions/memory-core/src/short-term-promotion.test.ts
- pnpm exec oxfmt --check --threads=1 extensions/memory-core/src/memory-budget.ts extensions/memory-core/src/memory-budget.test.ts extensions/memory-core/src/short-term-promotion.ts extensions/memory-core/src/short-term-promotion.test.ts CHANGELOG.md

- live driver: real applyShortTermPromotions across 5 sweeps with oversized seeded MEMORY.md — file stayed bounded, oldest sections compacted, user content preserved
Closes#73691
Summary:
- The PR updates memory-core `memory_search` result shaping to surface `corpus` from each hit's `source`, adds ... session corpus-label coverage, adds a changelog entry, and includes a small tempdir test assertion cleanup.
- Reproducibility: yes. Current main has a high-confidence source-level reproduction: session hits keep `sourc ... the final mapper hard-codes `corpus: "memory"`; the PR body also supplies live Gateway before/after output.
