 # @mastra/memory
 
+## 1.5.0-alpha.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Improved conversational continuity when the message window shrinks during Observational Memory activation. The agent now preserves its suggested next response and current task across activation, so it maintains context instead of losing track of the conversation. ([#13354](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13354))
+
+  Also improved the Observer to capture user messages more faithfully, reduce repetitive observations, and treat the most recent user message as the highest-priority signal.
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Improved Observational Memory priority handling. User messages and task completions are now always treated as high priority, ensuring the observer captures the most relevant context during conversations. ([#13329](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13329))
+
+- Improved Observational Memory activation to preserve more usable context after activation. Previously, activation could leave the agent with too much or too little context depending on how chunks aligned with the retention target. ([#13305](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13305))
+  - Activation now lands closer to the retention target by biasing chunk selection to slightly overshoot rather than undershoot
+  - Added safeguards to prevent activation from consuming too much context (95% ceiling and 1000-token floor)
+  - When pending tokens exceed `blockAfter`, activation now aggressively reduces context to unblock the conversation
+  - `bufferActivation` now accepts absolute token values (>= 1000) in addition to ratios (0–1), giving more precise control over when activation triggers
+
+- Observations no longer inflate token counts from degenerate LLM output. Runaway or repetitive observer/reflector output is automatically detected and retried, preventing excessive context usage after activation. ([#13354](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13354))
+
+- Updated dependencies [[`0d9efb4`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/0d9efb47992c34aa90581c18b9f51f774f6252a5), [`7184d87`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/7184d87c9237d26862f500ccfd0c9f9eadd38ddf), [`5caa13d`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/5caa13d1b2a496e2565ab124a11de9a51ad3e3b9), [`940163f`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/940163fc492401d7562301e6f106ccef4fefe06f), [`b260123`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/b2601234bd093d358c92081a58f9b0befdae52b3), [`47892c8`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/47892c85708eac348209f99f10f9a5f5267e11c0), [`45bb78b`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/45bb78b70bd9db29678fe49476cd9f4ed01bfd0b), [`70eef84`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/70eef84b8f44493598fdafa2980a0e7283415eda), [`d84e52d`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/d84e52d0f6511283ddd21ed5fe7f945449d0f799), [`24b80af`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/24b80af87da93bb84d389340181e17b7477fa9ca), [`608e156`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/608e156def954c9604c5e3f6d9dfce3bcc7aeab0), [`2b2e157`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/2b2e157a092cd597d9d3f0000d62b8bb4a7348ed), [`59d30b5`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/59d30b5d0cb44ea7a1c440e7460dfb57eac9a9b5), [`453693b`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/453693bf9e265ddccecef901d50da6caaea0fbc6), [`78d1c80`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/78d1c808ad90201897a300af551bcc1d34458a20), [`c204b63`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/c204b632d19e66acb6d6e19b11c4540dd6ad5380), [`742a417`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/742a417896088220a3b5560c354c45c5ca6d88b9)]:

+## 1.4.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Update peer dependencies to match core package version bump (1.5.0) ([#13245](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13245))
+
+- Update peer dependencies to match core package version bump (1.4.1) ([#13151](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13151))
+
+- Update peer dependencies to match core package version bump (1.4.1) ([#13245](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13245))
+
+- Add `instruction` property to observational memory configs ([#13240](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13240))
+
+  Adds optional `instruction` field to `ObservationConfig` and `ReflectionConfig` that allows users to extend the built-in observer/reflector system prompts with custom guidance.
+
+  Example:
+
+  ```typescript
+  const memory = new ObservationalMemory({
+    model: openai('gpt-4'),
+    observation: {
+      instruction: 'Focus on user preferences about food and dietary restrictions.',
+    },
+    reflection: {
+      instruction: 'Prioritize consolidating health-related observations together.',
+    },
+  });
+  ```
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- dependencies updates: ([#13167](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13167))
+  - Updated dependency [`lru-cache@^11.2.6` ↗︎](https://www.npmjs.com/package/lru-cache/v/11.2.6) (from `^11.2.2`, in `dependencies`)
+
+- Added generic Harness class to @mastra/core for orchestrating agents with modes, state management, built-in tools (ask_user, submit_plan), subagent support, Observational Memory integration, model discovery, and permission-aware tool approval. The Harness provides a reusable foundation for building agent-powered applications with features like thread management, heartbeat monitoring, and event-driven architecture. ([#13245](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13245))
+
+- - Reflection retry logic now attempts compression up to level 3, so reflections more consistently shrink to meet token limits ([#13170](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13170))
+  - Default target compression reduced from 50% to 25% (`sliceTokenEstimate * 0.75`), making automatic trimming less aggressive
+  - `tokensBuffered` marker now reports the actual slice size rather than total observation tokens, giving accurate size monitoring
+
+  These changes reduce failed reflections and make reported metrics match what is actually being processed.
+
+- Fixed a bug where the OM context window would jump to extremely high token counts (e.g. 16k → 114k) after observation activation. Two issues were causing this: ([#13070](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13070))
+  - **Token counter included OM metadata parts**: `data-om-activation` marker parts (which contain the full observation text, up to 150k+ characters) were being counted as message tokens when loaded from the database. These parts are never sent to the LLM and are now skipped during token counting.
+  - **Marker duplication on messages**: Activation markers were being added to assistant messages twice — once by the AI SDK stream and once by the persistence layer — doubling every marker and compounding the token inflation. Both `persistMarkerToMessage` and `persistMarkerToStorage` now deduplicate by `type + cycleId` before adding a marker.
+
+- Fixed thread title not being generated for pre-created threads. When threads were created before starting a conversation (e.g., for URL routing or storing metadata), the title stayed as a placeholder because the title generation condition checked whether the thread existed rather than whether it had a title. Threads created without an explicit title now get an empty title instead of a placeholder, and title generation fires whenever a thread has no title. Resolves #13145. ([#13151](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13151))
+
+- Migrated MastraCode from the prototype harness to the generic CoreHarness from @mastra/core. The createMastraCode function is now fully configurable with optional parameters for modes, subagents, storage, tools, and more. Removed the deprecated prototype harness implementation. ([#13245](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13245))
+
+- Fixed sub-agent memory context pollution that caused 'Exhausted all fallback models' errors when using Observational Memory with sub-agents. The parent agent's memory context is now preserved across sub-agent tool execution. ([#13051](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/pull/13051))
+
+- Updated dependencies [[`252580a`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/252580a71feb0e46d0ccab04a70a79ff6a2ee0ab), [`f8e819f`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/f8e819fabdfdc43d2da546a3ad81ba23685f603d), [`5c75261`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/5c7526120d936757d4ffb7b82232e1641ebd45cb), [`e27d832`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/e27d83281b5e166fd63a13969689e928d8605944), [`e37ef84`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/e37ef8404043c94ca0c8e35ecdedb093b8087878), [`6fdd3d4`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/6fdd3d451a07a8e7e216c62ac364f8dd8e36c2af), [`10cf521`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/10cf52183344743a0d7babe24cd24fd78870c354), [`efdb682`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/efdb682887f6522149769383908f9790c188ab88), [`0dee7a0`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/0dee7a0ff4c2507e6eb6e6ee5f9738877ebd4ad1), [`04c2c8e`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/04c2c8e888984364194131aecb490a3d6e920e61), [`02dc07a`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/02dc07acc4ad42d93335825e3308f5b42266eba2), [`bb7262b`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/bb7262b7c0ca76320d985b40510b6ffbbb936582), [`1415bcd`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/1415bcd894baba03e07640b3b1986037db49559d), [`cf1c6e7`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/cf1c6e789b131f55638fed52183a89d5078b4876), [`5ffadfe`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/5ffadfefb1468ac2612b20bb84d24c39de6961c0), [`1e1339c`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/1e1339cc276e571a48cfff5014487877086bfe68), [`d03df73`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/d03df73f8fe9496064a33e1c3b74ba0479bf9ee6), [`79b8f45`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/79b8f45a6767e1a5c3d56cd3c5b1214326b81661), [`9bbf08e`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/9bbf08e3c20731c79dea13a765895b9fcf29cbf1), [`0a25952`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/0a259526b5e1ac11e6efa53db1f140272962af2d), [`ffa5468`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/ffa546857fc4821753979b3a34e13b4d76fbbcd4), [`3264a04`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/3264a04e30340c3c5447433300a035ea0878df85), [`6fdd3d4`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/6fdd3d451a07a8e7e216c62ac364f8dd8e36c2af), [`088d9ba`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/088d9ba2577518703c52b0dccd617178d9ee6b0d), [`74fbebd`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/74fbebd918a03832a2864965a8bea59bf617d3a2), [`aea6217`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/aea621790bfb2291431b08da0cc5e6e150303ae7), [`b6a855e`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/b6a855edc056e088279075506442ba1d6fa6def9), [`ae408ea`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/ae408ea7128f0d2710b78d8623185198e7cb19c1), [`17e942e`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/17e942eee2ba44985b1f807e6208cdde672f82f9), [`2015cf9`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/2015cf921649f44c3f5bcd32a2c052335f8e49b4), [`7ef454e`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/7ef454eaf9dcec6de60021c8f42192052dd490d6), [`2be1d99`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/2be1d99564ce79acc4846071082bff353035a87a), [`2708fa1`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/2708fa1055ac91c03e08b598869f6b8fb51fa37f), [`ba74aef`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/ba74aef5716142dbbe931351f5243c9c6e4128a9), [`ba74aef`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/ba74aef5716142dbbe931351f5243c9c6e4128a9), [`ec53e89`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/ec53e8939c76c638991e21af762e51378eff7543), [`9b5a8cb`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/9b5a8cb13e120811b0bf14140ada314f1c067894), [`607e66b`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/607e66b02dc7f531ee37799f3456aa2dc0ca7ac5), [`a215d06`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/a215d06758dcf590eabfe0b7afd4ae39bdbf082c), [`6909c74`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/6909c74a7781e0447d475e9dbc1dc871b700f426), [`192438f`](https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/commit/192438f8a90c4f375e955f8ff179bf8dc6821a83)]:
