AuthFlow: Concurrent Auth & Scheduler Optimizer

Users of OpenClaw find that its file‑based memory breaks under multi‑user sessions and its scheduler is unreliable, while authentication is disabled by default. AuthFlow replaces these fragile components with a lightweight, concurrent session manager and resilient scheduler, integrating cleanly with Neo4j and OAuth 2.1 for secure, ready‑to‑use authentication.

Comment on: OpenLobster – Go Rewrite of OpenClaw with Neo4j, OAuth 2.1, Proper RBAC

I've been running OpenClaw since it went viral. It worked surprisingly well for personal use, but I kept hitting the same walls every time I tried to do anything beyond the basic setup.The memory system is a folder of markdown files. Fine for one user, but it breaks badly with concurrent sessions — and the docs literally document it as expected behavior. The "scheduler" is a daemon that wakes up every 30 minutes to read a HEARTBEAT.md checklist. The MCP integration felt bolted on. And after the CVE batch, I started looking more carefully at the auth story — disabled by default, which is
