Caveat verdict
nima-core
Local memory system reading session transcripts from ~/.openclaw and storing embeddings locally; network calls to Voyage/OpenAI are conditional on explicit user configuration with clear opt-in controls.
⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.
Automated static analysis — not a human review. Caveat flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.
