The docs described a "drop-in" OpenClaw memory backend enabled with `memory.backend = "clawhdf5"`. Checked against OpenClaw's source and docs (v2026.2.26 through v2026.9.6): that config was never valid — v2026.2-v2026.7 accepted only "builtin"/"qmd" and rejected unknown keys, so a Gateway given it refuses to start, and v2026.8.1 (OpenClaw 2.0) removed the key. No plugin was ever built (no manifest, no registration, no tools), nothing was tested against OpenClaw, the linked github.com/redclawsystems/openclaw is a 404, and @redclaw/clawhdf5 was never published. Decision (2026-09-25): not pursuing an OpenClaw plugin for now; ZeroClaw is the integration target. - Remove openclaw-integration.md, openclaw-config.md and migration-guide.md; add docs/openclaw.md: the status, what a memory plugin needs against v2026.9.6 (plugins.slots.memory, manifest with kind "memory", registerMemoryCapability / MemorySearchManager, prebuilt native packages), and what this repo has as building blocks. - README, QUICKSTART, USE_CASES, ROADMAP (Track 7 withdrawn), CLAUDE.md and the `openclaw` module docs describe ClawhdfBackend as what it is: a Markdown-oriented library backend, not an OpenClaw plugin. The QUICKSTART example is corrected (the old one called a three-argument create that does not exist) and states its limits. - packages/clawhdf5-node: marked unpublished and broken, "private": true so it cannot be published by accident; its bugs (snake_case vs camelCase fields, wrong addon path, no way to store an embedding, wrong WAL name) are recorded in docs/known-issues.md. - Two broken rustdoc links fixed along the way.
