3
+ ## 0.2.0 (2026-11-07)
4
+
5
+ ### Upgrade notes
6
+
7
+ - OpenClaw `>=2026.10.10` is now required (was `>=2026.10.1`). Upgrade OpenClaw first; older
8
+ hosts refuse the install. See Fixes below for why.
9
+ - The offline retain queue is on by default (`retainQueueEnabled`). Auto-retains that fail
10
+ because Hindsight is unreachable are written to
11
+ `<state dir>/hindsight-native/retain-queue.jsonl` and sent later. The file holds conversation
12
+ text (mode 600). Set `retainQueueEnabled: false` to drop them as before.
13
+
14
+ ### Added
15
+
16
+ - `retainTags`: tags added to every retained memory, with the same key and meaning as
17
+ `@vectorize-io/hindsight-openclaw`. They apply to auto-retain, `hindsight_retain` and the
18
+ pre-compaction flush, merged before inline `<retain_tags>` and per-call tags without
19
+ duplicates. A vendor config that sets it no longer fails with "unknown keys: retainTags".
20
+ - `scripts/live-proof.sh` is now a reusable harness: `--openclaw` (npm version, git ref or
21
+ path), `--runtime embedded|claude-cli`, `--plugin` (checkout, tarball or install spec) and
22
+ `--phase`, with a PASS/FAIL/SKIP table and `results.json`. It replaces the earlier
23
+ single-host script.
24
+ - `scripts/compat-matrix.sh` runs the harness for the minimum host version, the latest release
25
+ and `main` on both runtimes and writes `MATRIX.md`. A nightly launchd example is documented,
26
+ not installed.
27
+ - Offline retain queue, on by default (`retainQueueEnabled`). An auto-retain that fails because
28
+ Hindsight is unreachable (network error, timeout, HTTP 5xx) is saved to
29
+ `<state dir>/hindsight-native/retain-queue.jsonl` (mode 600) and sent later, instead of being
30
+ dropped. A 4xx answer is still logged and dropped.
31
+ - Each queued item keeps its bank and document id. Replay never routes it to another bank, and a
32
+ second retain of the same document replaces the queued copy. No URL or token is stored.
33
+ - Replay runs at service start, on a backoff timer (30 s doubling to 15 min) and after the next
34
+ successful retain, oldest first, so each bank sees its writes in order.
35
+ - `retainQueueMaxItems` (default 500), `retainQueueMaxAgeMs` (default 7 days) and a fixed 32 MiB
36
+ total (UTF-8 bytes) bound the queue. A single retain over the bound is not queued. Dropped
37
+ items log one warning until the queue drains.
38
+ - Queued items keep the tags resolved when the run ended (`retainTags` plus inline
39
+ `<retain_tags>`). A queued retain whose bank no longer exists (Hindsight 404 `Bank not found`)
40
+ is dropped with a warning on replay, like other 4xx answers.
41
+ - Replay drops an item only on a Hindsight HTTP 4xx about that item. A refused redirect, an
42
+ ambiguous 404, auth and rate-limit answers, a 4xx from bank setup and unexpected errors keep it
43
+ and back off. If a bank already has queued items and the queue file cannot be written, the
44
+ retain is sent live instead.
45
+
46
+ ### Fixes
47
+
48
+ - A first recall on a bank nothing was retained to yet no longer logs a warning
49
+ (`auto-recall skipped: Hindsight recall failed: HTTP 404`). Hindsight's
50
+ `Bank '<id>' not found` 404 now reads as "no memories" in auto-recall, memory search and the
51
+ `hindsight_recall` / `hindsight_reflect` tools, with a debug line at most. A 404 from a route
52
+ that does not exist (wrong `hindsightApiUrl` path) and other HTTP errors stay loud.
53
+ - No auto-recall and no auto-retain on host maintenance turns: the pre-compaction flush turn
54
+ (trigger `memory`) and Active Memory's recall child (`<session>:active-memory:<id>`). Before,
55
+ the flush turn recalled with the host's flush prompt as the query, and the recall child could
56
+ be retained as if it were a conversation. The `hindsight_*` tools stay available to both.
57
+ - `openclaw.install.minHostVersion` and the `openclaw` peer dependency are now `>=2026.10.10`
58
+ (was `>=2026.10.1`). OpenClaw 2026.10.1 through 2026.10.9 give turns in a dashboard session
59
+ created by `sessions.create` no memory audience, so the plugin could not recall or retain
60
+ there. 2026.10.10 records those sessions as direct chats (openclaw#181359).

+ ### Offline retain queue
137
+
138
+ When an auto-retain cannot reach Hindsight (network error, timeout or HTTP 5xx), the plugin
139
+ writes it to `<state dir>/hindsight-native/retain-queue.jsonl` and logs one warning per failed
140
+ retain. The state dir is the one the host passes to plugin services (`~/.openclaw` by default,
141
+ or `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR`). The file is mode 600 in a mode 700 directory, one JSON line per item.
142
+ It holds the bank id, document id and the retain payload (transcript, context, tags, metadata),
143
+ and never the API URL or token. The transcript is conversation text, so treat the file like
144
+ session transcripts.
145
+
146
+ - **Same bank, always.** Each item keeps the bank chosen from the run's memory audience when the
147
+ run ended. Replay writes to that bank only, even if `agentBankMap` changed in between. Items do
148
+ not record the server: if `hindsightApiUrl` points at another Hindsight by then, they go there
149
+ under the same bank id.
150
+ - **No duplicates.** Each item keeps its document id and is sent with `update_mode: replace`. A
151
+ second retain of the same document replaces the queued copy, and a replay that the server had
152
+ already received overwrites instead of adding a document.
153
+ - **Replay.** At service start, on a timer after a failure, and after the next successful retain.
154
+ The first retry comes 30 s after a failed pass, and the wait doubles after each further failed
155
+ pass (a turn for a bank with queued items also starts a pass), up to 15 min. Items go out oldest
156
+ first and a pass stops at the first item it cannot deliver, so each bank sees its writes in order.
157
+ While a bank has queued items, a new retain for that bank queues behind them. Two retains for one
158
+ bank that are in flight at the same moment can still land out of order if the earlier one fails
159
+ and is queued.
160
+ - **Not queued.** A 4xx answer (bad request, unknown bank, auth) and a refused redirect are logged
161
+ and dropped as before. On replay, only a Hindsight HTTP 4xx about the item drops it, with a
162
+ warning: any 4xx except 401, 403, 429 and an ambiguous 404 (a wrong `hindsightApiUrl` path, an
163
+ HTML or empty body). Hindsight creates a bank on its first retain, so its explicit `Bank '<id>'
164
+ not found` 404 is about the item and drops it. Everything else keeps the item, ends the pass and
165
+ backs off: network errors, timeouts, 5xx, 401, 403, 429, an ambiguous 404, a 4xx from bank setup
166
+ (applying `retainMission`), a refused redirect and any unexpected error. Kept items hold back
167
+ items for other banks until the next attempt; anything other than a network error, timeout or 5xx
168
+ logs one warning until something is delivered again.
169
+ - **Tags.** An item keeps the tags resolved when the run ended (`retainTags` plus inline
170
+ `<retain_tags>`); a later `retainTags` change does not touch queued items.
171
+ - **Limits.** Items beyond `retainQueueMaxItems` or a fixed 32 MiB total (UTF-8 bytes on disk,
172
+ oldest first), or older than `retainQueueMaxAgeMs`, are dropped with one warning until the queue
173
+ is empty again. A single retain larger than 32 MiB is not queued: it is sent live without waiting
174
+ for its bank's queue, and its failure is logged as before.
175
+ - **Disk writes.** A new item is appended, on a new line even after a torn last line. Replacing,
176
+ pruning and replay rewrite the file (atomic rename); replay writes once per 25 delivered items and
177
+ at the end of each pass. If a rewrite that should drop an out-of-date copy fails, a tombstone line
178
+ is appended so a restart does not replay that copy. One queue per file per process, shared across
179
+ service restarts. If a bank already has queued items and the queue file cannot be written (disk
180
+ full, permissions), the retain is sent live instead. If the live write already failed, the queue
181
+ error is logged and the retain is not kept.
182
+ - Only auto-retain is queued. `hindsight_retain` and the pre-compaction flush return the error to
183
+ the agent, as before. With `retainQueueEnabled: false` the plugin neither reads nor writes the
184
+ file; delete it, or turn the queue back on to drain it. `retainQueueEnabled` is read at service
185
+ start (restart the gateway after changing it); the two limits apply live. One gateway process per
186
+ state dir: the file is not locked.
