…alled by host OpenClaw 4.2 loads third-party plugins via deferred reload, which runs after startPluginServices() has already executed. This means the plugin's service.start() callback (containing ViewerServer startup) is never invoked by the host. Add a 3-second setTimeout fallback in register() that self-starts the viewer if service.start() hasn't been called, ensuring the Memory Viewer (port 18799) is always accessible. Also improve install scripts: - Register plugin in slots.memory, entries, and installs of openclaw.json - Pin spec to exact resolved version to prevent auto-update triggering the OpenClaw 4.2 security scanner - Use gateway install/start (background service) instead of gateway run - Add post-install hints showing Web UI and Memory Viewer URLs Made-with: Cursor

Summary
startPluginServices()has already run. This means the plugin'sservice.start()callback (which starts the ViewerServer on port 18799) is never invoked by the host. Added a 3-secondsetTimeoutfallback inregister()that self-starts the viewer if the host hasn't calledservice.start().plugins.slots.memory,plugins.entries, andplugins.installssections ofopenclaw.json, ensuring the plugin auto-loads correctly on gateway restart.@memtensor/memos-local-openclaw-plugin@1.0.7) instead of@latestin theinstalls.specfield, preventing OpenClaw 4.2's security scanner from repeatedly blocking auto-update attempts.exec npx openclaw gateway run(foreground, blocks shell) withnpx openclaw gateway install/start(background launchd service), so the script exits cleanly.Test plan
