Vincent Koc e2f3044b8f fix(memory-wiki): route bridge CLI through gateway
Route Memory Wiki bridge-mode status, doctor, and bridge import CLI paths through Gateway RPC when bridge artifact reads are active, while preserving local/offline fallbacks.

Harden Gateway CLI rendering and imported-source writes: validate RPC response shapes, bound response strings before rendering/JSON serialization, sanitize/escape terminal-controlled output, avoid redundant JSON forwarding, and replace imported source pages through a temp-file rename path with symlink and hardlink regressions.

Fixes #65722
Fixes #65976
Fixes #66082
Fixes #67979
Fixes #68371
Fixes #68828
Fixes #69019

# `openclaw wiki`
Inspect and maintain the `memory-wiki` vault.
Provided by the bundled `memory-wiki` plugin.

- [Memory Wiki plugin](/plugins/memory-wiki)
- [Memory Overview](/concepts/memory)
- [CLI: memory](/cli/memory)
## What it is for
Use `openclaw wiki` when you want a compiled knowledge vault with:
- wiki-native search and page reads
- provenance-rich syntheses
- contradiction and freshness reports
- bridge imports from the active memory plugin
- optional Obsidian CLI helpers
## Common commands
```bash
openclaw wiki status
openclaw wiki doctor
openclaw wiki init
openclaw wiki ingest ./notes/alpha.md
openclaw wiki compile
openclaw wiki lint
openclaw wiki search "alpha"
openclaw wiki get entity.alpha --from 1 --lines 80
openclaw wiki apply synthesis "Alpha Summary" \
--body "Short synthesis body" \
--source-id source.alpha
openclaw wiki apply metadata entity.alpha \
--source-id source.alpha \
--status review \
--question "Still active?"
openclaw wiki bridge import
openclaw wiki unsafe-local import
openclaw wiki obsidian status
openclaw wiki obsidian search "alpha"
openclaw wiki obsidian open syntheses/alpha-summary.md
openclaw wiki obsidian command workspace:quick-switcher
openclaw wiki obsidian daily
```
## Commands
### `wiki status`
Inspect current vault mode, health, and Obsidian CLI availability.
Use this first when you are unsure whether the vault is initialized, bridge mode
is healthy, or Obsidian integration is available.
When bridge mode is active and configured to read memory artifacts, this command
queries the running Gateway so it sees the same active memory plugin context as
agent/runtime memory.
### `wiki doctor`
Run wiki health checks and surface configuration or vault problems.
When bridge mode is active and configured to read memory artifacts, this command
queries the running Gateway before building the report. Disabled bridge imports
and bridge configs that do not read memory artifacts remain local/offline.
Typical issues include:
- bridge mode enabled without public memory artifacts
- invalid or missing vault layout
- missing external Obsidian CLI when Obsidian mode is expected
### `wiki init`
Create the wiki vault layout and starter pages.
This initializes the root structure, including top-level indexes and cache
directories.
### `wiki ingest <path-or-url>`
Import content into the wiki source layer.
Notes:
- URL ingest is controlled by `ingest.allowUrlIngest`
- imported source pages keep provenance in frontmatter
- auto-compile can run after ingest when enabled
### `wiki compile`
Rebuild indexes, related blocks, dashboards, and compiled digests.
This writes stable machine-facing artifacts under:
- `.openclaw-wiki/cache/agent-digest.json`
- `.openclaw-wiki/cache/claims.jsonl`
If `render.createDashboards` is enabled, compile also refreshes report pages.
### `wiki lint`
Lint the vault and report:
- structural issues
- provenance gaps
- contradictions
- open questions
- low-confidence pages/claims
- stale pages/claims
Run this after meaningful wiki updates.
### `wiki search <query>`
Search wiki content.
Behavior depends on config:
- `search.backend`: `shared` or `local`
- `search.corpus`: `wiki`, `memory`, or `all`
Use `wiki search` when you want wiki-specific ranking or provenance details.
For one broad shared recall pass, prefer `openclaw memory search` when the
active memory plugin exposes shared search.
### `wiki get <lookup>`
Read a wiki page by id or relative path.
Examples:
```bash
openclaw wiki get entity.alpha
openclaw wiki get syntheses/alpha-summary.md --from 1 --lines 80
```
### `wiki apply`
Apply narrow mutations without freeform page surgery.
Supported flows include:
- create/update a synthesis page
- update page metadata
- attach source ids
- add questions
- add contradictions
- update confidence/status
- write structured claims
This command exists so the wiki can evolve safely without manually editing
managed blocks.
### `wiki bridge import`
Import public memory artifacts from the active memory plugin into bridge-backed
source pages.
Use this in `bridge` mode when you want the latest exported memory artifacts
pulled into the wiki vault.
For active bridge artifact reads, the CLI routes the import through Gateway RPC
so the import uses the runtime memory plugin context. If bridge imports are
disabled or artifact reads are turned off, the command keeps the local/offline
zero-import behavior.
### `wiki unsafe-local import`
Import from explicitly configured local paths in `unsafe-local` mode.
This is intentionally experimental and same-machine only.
### `wiki obsidian ...`
Obsidian helper commands for vaults running in Obsidian-friendly mode.
Subcommands:
- `status`
- `search`
- `open`
- `command`
- `daily`
These require the official `obsidian` CLI on `PATH` when
`obsidian.useOfficialCli` is enabled.
## Practical usage guidance
- Use `wiki search` + `wiki get` when provenance and page identity matter.
- Use `wiki apply` instead of hand-editing managed generated sections.
- Use `wiki lint` before trusting contradictory or low-confidence content.
- Use `wiki compile` after bulk imports or source changes when you want fresh
dashboards and compiled digests immediately.
- Use `wiki bridge import` when bridge mode depends on newly exported memory
artifacts.
## Configuration tie-ins
`openclaw wiki` behavior is shaped by:
- `plugins.entries.memory-wiki.config.vaultMode`
- `plugins.entries.memory-wiki.config.search.backend`
- `plugins.entries.memory-wiki.config.search.corpus`
- `plugins.entries.memory-wiki.config.bridge.*`
- `plugins.entries.memory-wiki.config.obsidian.*`
- `plugins.entries.memory-wiki.config.render.*`
- `plugins.entries.memory-wiki.config.context.includeCompiledDigestPrompt`
See [Memory Wiki plugin](/plugins/memory-wiki) for the full config model.
