[Bug]: openclaw doctor incorrectly reports "Memory search provider is set to 'local' but no local model file was found" #29099

Description

@sensapiro

Summary

When running openclaw doctor --fix, it shows a false warning:

Memory search provider is set to "local" but no local model file was found.

However, openclaw memory status --deep shows:

Model: hf:ggml-org/embeddinggemma-300m-qat-q8_0-GGUF/embeddinggemma-300m-qat-Q8_0.gguf
Embeddings: ready
Vector: ready

The memory search is actually working correctly. The doctor check is buggy.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run openclaw doctor
  2. Observe false warning about memory search

Expected behavior

No warning should appear when memory search is actually working.

Actual behavior

Openclaw doctor incorrectly reports "Memory search provider is set to "local" but no local model was found"
