[cron:44115ed8-369b-4c51-921e-dcb3312a8638 total-recall-reflector] Run Total Recall Reflector to consolidate observations if they've grown too large. Execute: bash ~/.openclaw/shared/total-recall/scripts/reflector.sh
Current time: Saturday, March 7th, 2026 — 8:06 PM (UTC)

Return your summary as plain text; it will be delivered automatically. If the task explicitly calls for messaging a specific external recipient, note who/where it should go instead of sending it yourself.

thinking:
The user is asking me to run a Total Recall Reflector script. This appears to be a cron job that consolidates observations if they've grown too large.

Let me execute the reflector script as requested.

exec

type: toolCall

api: openai-completions

stopReason: toolUse


role: toolResult

toolName: exec

text: (no output)

status: completed


thinking: The script ran but produced no output. Let me check if the observations file exists and what state it's in, and also check if there's any logging or output from the reflector.

command: ls -la ~/.openclaw/shared/total-recall/memory/ 2>&1 && echo "---" && wc -l ~/.openclaw/shared/total-recall/memory/observations.md 2>&1

thinking: The reflector script ran but didn't produce any output. Looking at the observations file, it's only 23 lines (1141 bytes), which is probably under the threshold for consolidation. Let me check what the observations contain and also check if there's a log or any indicator of what the reflector did.

# Observations Log
# Auto-generated by Total Recall Observer
# Format: [PRIORITY] TYPE: observation

## 2026-03-06 20:55 Session Start

[MEDIUM] EVENT: Total Recall system initialized
[FACT] SYSTEM: Memory architecture includes QMD, Mem0, MemLayer, Total Recall
[PREFERENCE] USER: Chad prefers dark mode in all applications
[PREFERENCE] USER: Direct communication, no filler
[FACT] INFRASTRUCTURE: Fred server runs OpenClaw on port 18789
[FACT] INFRASTRUCTURE: Local embeddings on port 9069 (embeddinggemma-300m)

[HIGH] FACT: System audit detected missing startup files (WORKFLOW_AUTO.md, memory/*.md) after context reset, requiring immediate restoration.
[MEDIUM] TASK: Execute read operations on HEARTBEAT.md and missing startup files to restore operating protocols.
[MEDIUM] RULE: Adhere to strict instruction to reply with NO_REPLY if no actionable tasks are found in HEARTBEAT.md.
[LOW] EVENT: Multiple heartbeat cron checks (approx. every 30 mins) occurred on March 7, 2026, with no reported actionable tasks.


thinking:
Good. The observations file is small (23 lines, ~1KB) which is likely under the consolidation threshold. The reflector script ran but produced no output, which is probably normal behavior when there's nothing to consolidate.

Let me also check the reflector script to understand what it does and what its threshold is, so I can provide a proper summary.

thinking:
I see. The reflector script has a default threshold of 8000 words. The current observations file only has about 180 words (23 lines is about 180 words based on 1141 bytes). So it's well below the threshold and the script correctly exited without doing any consolidation.

Let me check the log file to confirm.

command: tail -5 ~/.openclaw/shared/total-recall/logs/reflector.log 2>/dev/null || echo "No log entries yet"


text:
[Sat Mar  7 16:04:54 UTC 2026] Below threshold: 155 words

[Sat Mar  7 20:06:26 UTC 2026] Below threshold: 155 words


thinking:
The reflector ran correctly. It found the observations file has 155 words, which is well below the 8000-word threshold, so it correctly logged "Below threshold" and exited without consolidation.

Summary for the cron job:
- Reflector script executed successfully
- Current observations: 155 words (threshold: 8000 words)
- No consolidation needed
- 23 observations across 2 days (2026-03-06 and 2026-03-07)

text:
**Total Recall Reflector Summary**

- **Status:** Completed successfully
- **Current observations:** 155 words
- **Threshold:** 8000 words
- **Action taken:** None needed — observations are well below consolidation threshold

The observations file contains 23 entries spanning March 6-7, 2026, covering system initialization, infrastructure facts, user preferences, and recent heartbeat checks. No consolidation required.
