That path usually means OpenClaw is resolving a non-default agent workspace, not necessarily the UI inventing a bad file path.

Default workspace is:
~/.openclaw/workspace

But for a non-default agent without its own workspace set, OpenClaw appends the agent id under the default workspace. So if the selected agent id is workspace, it will look for:
~/.openclaw/workspace/workspace/SOUL.md

Quick checks:

openclaw --version
openclaw status --all

Then check which agent the Control UI has selected, and whether that agent has an explicit workspace configured. If you meant to edit the main/default agent, select that one. If this is a real separate agent, set its workspace explicitly instead of letting it default under ~/.openclaw/workspace/<agentId>.
