Bug Summary

The Dreaming page in the Control UI has a significant layout/rendering regression on version 2026.4.9. Both the SCENE and DIARY tabs display overlapping, cramped, and misaligned content.

Environment

  • OpenClaw version: 2026.4.9 (build 0512059)
  • Browser: Chrome (Control UI web view)
  • OS: macOS (host running gateway)

Observed Behavior

DIARY tab

  • Dream entries are rendered in extremely narrow vertical columns.
  • Text overlaps and rotates unexpectedly (e.g. "LIGHT SLEEP COMPLETE. AWAITING DEEP PHASE." appears sideways).
  • The card-based layout squishes content into overlapping pill-shaped containers.
  • Longer paragraphs overflow their containers and become unreadable.

SCENE tab

  • Memory signals/cards are laid out in a broken grid with overlapping edges.
  • Content from different memory sources bleeds into adjacent cards.
  • Spacing between cards is inconsistent -- some are touching, others have large gaps.

Expected Behavior

  • Dream diary entries should render as readable, full-width paragraphs.
  • Scene cards should have consistent padding and not overlap.
  • Text should remain horizontal and readable.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start OpenClaw gateway on 2026.4.9.
  2. Open the Control UI.
  3. Navigate to Dreaming.
  4. Click between SCENE and DIARY tabs.
  5. Observe layout corruption.

Additional Context

  • Screenshots available upon request (can be attached to this issue).
  • This issue was noticed immediately after the 2026.4.9 auto-update.
  • The underlying Markdown files and DREAMS.md content are intact -- this is purely a frontend/Control UI rendering issue.
