### Mistake: Workspace routing — claimed no memory when files existed
- **What happened:** Said "I don't have context from earlier messages" when user asked about Qdrant/server setup. Actually all files existed in original workspace.
- **Reality:** OpenClaw created fresh empty workspace. Session JSONLs and MEMORY.md had full history. Just didn't search.
- **Correction:** Before claiming memory loss, search: (1) session JSONLs, (2) workspace MEMORY.md, (3) memory/ daily files. CLAUDE FIXED THE ROUTING — verify workspace path at session start.
- **Pattern to watch:** "I don't have context" or "what happened yesterday" — always search first
