OpenClaw semantic memory search broken: memory index --force fails with fetch error across all embedding providers
Semantic memory search is effectively unusable for many users. memory index --force consistently fails with fetch failed on Linux across OpenRouter, Gemini, and Ollama. Direct node fetch to same endpoints succeeds. Temp file deleted on failure loses all progress. Affects v2026.4.21 and v2026.4.23+. Multiple GitHub issues (#71522, #56901, #56427, #58255).
