Left plugin install index in place because shared SQLite state has conflicting plugin install metadata for: …
This warning means an OpenClaw upgrade left the plugin registry half-migrated: the shared SQLite state and the plugin install index disagree about what's installed. It usually appears after a version upgrade (recent versions moved bundled providers into plugins) or an install that was interrupted, for example by a full disk. Running OpenClaw's doctor command and reinstalling the named plugin cleanly resolves it.
This is local agent state, not a model or provider problem — after cleanup, the same warning can reappear if auto-upgrade runs while a plugin install is in flight, so avoid upgrading mid-task.
It can contribute. A half-migrated plugin state makes failures look random — messages erroring, cron jobs not firing, API keys not being read. Repair the plugin state first, then re-test before blaming the model or provider.
Not by itself. Low disk often triggers the corruption, but once plugin metadata conflicts, you need OpenClaw doctor or a clean reinstall of the named plugin — freeing space just prevents recurrence.
