 All notable changes to the Nowledge Mem OpenClaw plugin will be documented in this file.
 
+## [0.8.3] - 2026-04-08
+
+### Added
+
+- Added a release validator and ClawHub publish runbook so package metadata, manifest defaults, and publish-time expectations can be checked before submission.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Added the external code-plugin metadata ClawHub expects in `package.json` and aligned the manifest-facing package description for official catalog review.
+- Synced the checked-in `package-lock.json` package version with the actual plugin version so pack and publish surfaces stay coherent.
+- Tightened the release validator so it now catches changelog drift, `openclaw.release` flag drift, unreadable required files, and config-schema contract changes before a ClawHub publish.
+- Updated install guidance to use ClawHub as the primary path while keeping bare package names documented as a resolver fallback.
+
+## [0.8.2] - 2026-04-08
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Assertive behavioral guidance replaces conditional phrasing.** The per-turn system prompt injection now uses "Search proactively... Do not wait to be asked" and "Save autonomously... Do not wait to be asked" instead of the previous "Before answering questions about prior work... search." This directly addresses reports of GPT 5.4 and Kimi K2.5 not proactively searching memories. Also trimmed redundant lines (signal examples, output-format description) to keep the injection tight (~60 tokens), restoring the "(not file paths)" hint.

 ## Installation
 
 ```bash
-openclaw plugins install @nowledge/openclaw-nowledge-mem
+openclaw plugins install clawhub:@nowledge/openclaw-nowledge-mem
 ```
 
 OpenClaw's installer writes the install record, enables the plugin, and switches the `memory` slot to `openclaw-nowledge-mem`. Restart OpenClaw after install to load it.
 
+If you prefer the default resolver path, bare package names also work because OpenClaw resolves external plugins from ClawHub first and then falls back to npm:
+
+```bash
+openclaw plugins install @nowledge/openclaw-nowledge-mem
+```
+
+If you need a pinned local checkout for validation or development, use local linking:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/nowledge-co/community.git
+cd community/nowledge-mem-openclaw-plugin
+openclaw plugins install --link .
