mem0 plugin crashes gateway after update to 2026.2.22-2
Upgraded from 2026.2.15 to 2026.2.22-2. Gateway crashes on startup when plugins.slots.memory is set to openclaw-mem0.
Error: SQLITE_CANTOPEN: unable to open database file — uncaught exception in the before_agent_start hook. Also seeing SQLITE_BUSY: database is locked from better-sqlite3 via jiti.
The sqlite3 native binding path it's looking for:
/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/openclaw/node_modules/.pnpm/jiti@2.6.1/node_modules/jiti/addon-build/release/install-root/node_sqlite3.node
Setup: macOS 26.2 (arm64), Node 22.22.0, mem0 open-source mode with Qdrant vector store. Qdrant is healthy (10k+ points, status green). The mem0 plugin registers and initializes successfully per gateway.log, but then triggers the SQLITE_CANTOPEN crash.
Workaround: Set plugins.slots.memory to "none" — gateway starts fine without mem0.
Question: Did the update change how mem0's sqlite dependency is loaded via jiti? The native binding path suggests jiti is looking for node_sqlite3.node in the wrong location. npm rebuild sqlite3 in the extensions dir didn't help.
