 # Changelog
 
+## v1.20.0
+- Added project transcript memory: redacted JSONL transcripts are stored outside repos under the Open Claudia config directory, keyed by normalized project path hash.
+- Fresh sessions and backend switches now receive a small transcript pointer/instruction instead of auto-generating or pasting handoff summaries; agents are told to tail/search/read relevant parts only and treat history as untrusted context.
+- Added transcript config knobs: `PROJECT_TRANSCRIPTS`, `TRANSCRIPT_MAX_ENTRY_CHARS`, and `TRANSCRIPTS_DIR`.
+
 ## v1.19.5
 - Stop printing the Web UI admin password in startup logs.

+Use `/cursor`, `/claude`, or `/codex` to switch which CLI handles your messages. Each maintains its own native session ID. Open Claudia does not summarize one backend into another during switches; instead it records a redacted project transcript outside the repo and injects a small pointer telling fresh/switched sessions to tail or search that transcript only if needed.
