 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [2026.6.2] - 2026-06-06
+
+Calendar versioning, host session-memory parity, durable staleness, and package-boundary hardening release.
+
+### Added
+
+- **OpenClaw host session-memory parity.** OpenClaw now uses scoped session identity, compaction transcript handling, pre-compaction episode capture, host-neutral session-memory routing, and before-turn session artifacts that align with the Skeln memory-runtime model.
+- **Memory doctrine and tool guidance.** Shared prompt doctrine, claim-key guidance, project metadata update support, and fetch/update/store tool formatting now give agents clearer instructions and warnings at the tool boundary.
+- **Release-version validation and package syncing.** Calendar release-version parsing plus the package-version sync script keep root package metadata, plugin package metadata, and OpenClaw plugin manifests aligned.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Release versioning** now follows OpenClaw's `YYYY.M.PATCH` calendar scheme instead of semver. The third component is a monthly patch counter, not a calendar day.
+- **OpenClaw plugin packaging** now ships as a thinner adapter package and defers optional runtime modules while copying shared root build artifacts needed by dynamic imports into plugin packages.
+- **`agenr_update` patch handling** is more focused and docs now distinguish project metadata corrections from durable content corrections.
+- **Database ports** expose `closeDurableValidity` and `closeProcedureValidity` instead of `retireDurable` and `retireProcedure`.
+- **Docs and tests** updated for the staleness model across durables, episodes, procedures, dreaming, and the OpenClaw plugin.
+
+### Breaking
+
+- **Greenfield database only.** Schema versioning and in-place migrations are removed. Startup rejects legacy tables and columns such as `entries`, `retired`, `minhash_sig`, `cluster_id`, `durables_retired`, and `recall_delta`, and rejects partially initialized databases that are missing required tables. Run `agenr db reset` before upgrading.
+- **Removed unused columns.** `durables.minhash_sig`, `durables.cluster_id`, and `dream_run_actions.recall_delta` are dropped from the schema.
+- **Keyed durables require lifecycle status.** Rows with a `claim_key` must also store a valid `claim_key_status`; NULL lifecycle status is no longer treated as legacy at read time.
+- **Retirement flags removed; staleness uses `valid_to`.** `durables`, `episodes`, and `procedures` no longer store `retired`, `retired_at`, or `retired_reason`. Close validity with `valid_to` plus optional `supersession_kind: "stale"` and `supersession_reason` instead.
+- **`agenr_retire` removed.** Use `agenr_update` with `validTo` to close durable validity from OpenClaw hosts.
+- **`agenr_trace` removed from OpenClaw.** Use `agenr trace` for provenance, lineage, and recall-history inspection.
+- **Dreaming prune actions renamed.** Run summaries and `dream_runs.durables_staled` replace `durables_retired`; audit actions use `stale` instead of `retire`.
+- **Neighborhood expansion flag renamed.** Recall adapters accept `includeHistorical` instead of `includeRetired`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Plugin dynamic imports** now resolve shared root dist artifacts from packaged OpenClaw and Skeln plugin builds.
+- **Validation cleanup** clears ESLint warnings so `pnpm check` runs green.
+
+### Validation
+
+Changes since last push to `origin/master`:
+
+- Replace OpenClaw continuity with host session-memory parity, scoped session identity, compaction handling, and shared session-start artifacts
+- Add centralized memory doctrine, stronger claim-key guidance, and project metadata update support
+- Switch releases to OpenClaw-style calendar versions and add package-version sync checks
+- Thin OpenClaw plugin packaging while preserving runtime dynamic-import resolution for plugin packages
+- Replace retirement semantics with valid-time staleness across durable, episode, procedure, dreaming, and recall paths
+- Add dreaming milestone work, compute-efficiency eval seams, directive topic triggers, and concurrency hardening already summarized in the `4.0.0` section below
+- Clear validation issues so `pnpm check` passes before release
+
+## [4.0.0] - 2026-06-05
+
+### Breaking
+
+- **Greenfield schema with `durables` and dreaming tables.** The `entries` table and all `surgeon_*` tables are gone. This build only supports schema version `4` on a fresh database. Delete existing knowledge databases and re-run `agenr init` or `agenr db reset` before upgrading.
+- **`entries` renamed to `durables` across types, SQL, ingest, recall, and scenarios.** There are no compatibility aliases. Extraction JSON now uses a top-level `durables` array.
+- **Surgeon removed; dreaming replaces it.** `agenr surgeon ...` commands, `surgeon` config, and surgeon docs are deleted. Use `agenr dream run|status|history` and the `dreaming` config section instead.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Dreaming Milestone 1 skeleton.** Scan, deterministic reconcile, and apply stages with `dream_runs`, `dream_run_actions`, `dream_proposals`, `dream_state`, and `profile_snapshots` persistence.
+- **Dreaming Milestone 2 injection hardening.** Bi-temporal as-of valid-time filtering shared by session-start, before-turn, and default recall, plus injection-filtering and directive-abstention scenario fixtures and regression tests that prove expired or not-yet-valid durables never auto-inject.
+- **Dreaming Milestone 3 extract and temporalize stages.** The `extract` stage mines durable candidates from episode evidence with content-hash and context-lookup deduplication; the `temporalize` stage revises stale beliefs through supersession (insert successor, close the predecessor valid-time window, link `superseded_by`) without rewriting content in place.
+- **Dreaming proposal review surface.** New `agenr dream actions`, `agenr dream proposals`, `agenr dream backlog`, and `agenr dream review` commands, with backed-up transactional proposal apply.
+- **Session-end episode boundaries.** OpenClaw now writes the current session's episode from its `session_end` hook so dreaming has fresh evidence before the next session starts; the write is best-effort and idempotent by session id. Skeln's shutdown chain writes through the same bounded episode contract.
+- **Dreaming pipeline scenario fixtures.** New fixtures under `tests/scenarios/dreaming/pipeline/` cover implicit-preference capture, trip-lifecycle revision, point-in-time recall, and the no-overconsolidation guard.
+- **Dreaming Milestone 5 release path.** The `prune` stage now closes validity on protected low-signal durables on `standard` and `deep` runs, background `light` runs fire after host session-end episode writes, successful `agenr_store` calls can trigger `light` runs when accumulated durable importance crosses the configured threshold, and completion summaries include compute-efficiency counters for the eval scoreboard.
+- **Dreaming ops hardening (WS6).** A process-wide dreaming lease prevents overlapping CLI, background, store-triggered runs, and host episode writes; the lock heartbeat reclaims rows orphaned by a crashed process after a stale timeout without stealing active long-running runs; episode writes serialize through the same lock before post-session light dreaming; background apply runs record `backupSkipped` in completion summaries; `agenr dream status` warns when recent applied `light` runs skipped backup; and `procedures/agenr-dream-deep-maintenance.yaml` documents weekly deep maintenance.
+- **Dreaming compute-efficiency suite (WS3).** `recomputeRatio` is now `synthesizedDurableMutations / evidenceItemsRead`; a new `POST /internal/evals/dreaming-efficiency/run` seam provisions pre-baked completion summaries and derives efficiency from persisted scan/project/stage counters (Option A); `agenr-evals` ships `manifests/dreaming/compute-efficiency.json` with three regression cases via the `agenr-dreaming-efficiency-http` adapter.
+- **Directive topic triggers (WS4).** Proactive `topic:<term>` directives now surface during before-turn when the current user turn mentions the topic; abstain directives still run last and suppress conflicting topic directives. Session-start behavior for `topic:` triggers is unchanged in v1.
+- **Docs:** `docs/DURABLES.md`, `docs/DREAMING.md`. `docs/STORE.md` and `docs/SURGEON.md` removed.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Claim-key scenario harness** now supports `dreaming` scenarios instead of `surgeon` scenarios.
+- **Dreaming `deep` tier** now reads the full evidence backlog instead of only the incremental cursor.
+- **Dreaming config parsing** now accepts and persists non-default `tiers`, `stages.extract`, `stages.project`, and `triggers` settings.
+- **Dreaming `light` tier semantics.** Background `light` runs now skip reconcile and prune while keeping temporalize and project, and run summaries record those skips in `stages_skipped`. Light extract defaults to at most two episode sessions per run (`stages.extract.lightMaxSessionsPerRun`).
+- **AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, README.md, DEBUGGING.md, and VS Code launch configs** updated for the durable/dreaming nomenclature.
+
+## [3.3.0] - 2026-06-02
+
+Feature flag defaults, Skeln install policy, and OpenClaw package cleanup release.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Init now records every known feature flag as enabled.** First-run `agenr init` writes the full current feature surface into `config.json`, making staged working-memory, session-tree, and goal-continuation flags explicit.
+- **Fresh Skeln installs now carry a memory-policy default.** The Skeln plugin manifest seeds a conservative `memoryPolicy` that keeps session-start and before-turn injection off while leaving working context available.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **The OpenClaw plugin package now publishes as `@agenr/openclaw-plugin`.** Install docs, build filters, smoke tests, and package metadata were aligned with the new scoped package name.
+- **OpenClaw runtime dependencies now stay with the plugin package.** The root `agenr` package no longer carries OpenClaw as a runtime dependency, while plugin builds and package smoke tests still cover the OpenClaw integration.
+- **Repository release metadata is slimmer.** GitHub Actions CI and the synced release procedure were removed in favor of the local release workflow.
+
+### Validation
+
+Changes since last push to `origin/master`:
+
+- Remove OpenClaw from root runtime dependencies and keep plugin build coverage intact
+- Rename the OpenClaw plugin package to `@agenr/openclaw-plugin` across install docs, build filters, smoke tests, and package metadata
+- Drop GitHub Actions CI and the synced release procedure from the repository
+- Add canonical feature flag keys and have first-run init write every current feature flag as enabled
+- Add a Skeln plugin `memoryPolicy` install default with setup, manifest, and regression coverage

 It exists because most agent runtimes forget everything important between sessions. Even when a tool has a built-in memory feature, it is often lossy, file-based, or tightly coupled to one surface. agenr keeps memory structured and queryable: facts, decisions, preferences, lessons, milestones, relationships, and session-level episodes live in one local store instead of getting flattened into prompt text.

+
+The Skeln plugin exposes eight tools: `agenr_store`, `agenr_recall`, `agenr_fetch`, `agenr_update`, `agenr_work`, `get_goal`, `create_goal`, and `update_goal`. Neither host exposes a runtime trace tool; use `agenr trace` for provenance inspection.

 Agenr has two transcript-ingest pipelines plus one repo-authored procedure sync path:
 
-- `agenr ingest entries <path>` extracts durable typed knowledge such as facts, decisions, preferences, lessons, milestones, and relationships.
+- `agenr ingest durables <path>` extracts durable typed knowledge such as facts, decisions, preferences, lessons, milestones, and relationships.
 - `agenr ingest episodes [path]` generates one narrative summary per session so the brain can answer temporal questions like "what happened last week?"
 - `agenr ingest procedures [path]` validates and syncs repo-authored procedural workflows from `procedures/` into the database.
 
-The two transcript paths parse OpenClaw transcripts first, but they optimize for different outputs: entry ingest distills durable knowledge and runs semantic dedup across the whole ingest batch, while episode ingest does a session-by-session preflight pass, uses `sessions.json` metadata when available, reconstructs missing surface metadata for rotated files, and writes episodic summaries. Procedure sync is different: it reads strict YAML authoring files, normalizes them into canonical stored revisions, and writes only when a procedure is new or semantically changed. Details: [docs/INGEST.md](./docs/INGEST.md), [docs/STORE.md](./docs/STORE.md), and [docs/PROCEDURES.md](./docs/PROCEDURES.md).

 ## How Procedures Work
 
-Procedures are the durable how-to layer. They are authored in `procedures/` as reviewed YAML, normalized into canonical stored procedure revisions, and synced with `agenr ingest procedures [path]`. Procedure recall is live through unified host-plugin `agenr_recall` and before-turn suggestion, but the standalone CLI `agenr recall` command still targets entry recall only. For the current model, storage shape, sync semantics, and read surfaces, see [docs/PROCEDURES.md](./docs/PROCEDURES.md).

For the current model, storage shape, sync semantics, and read surfaces, see [docs/PROCEDURES.md](./docs/PROCEDURES.md).
 
 ## How Episodes Work
 
 Episodes are session-level memory artifacts stored separately from durable entries. They preserve temporal narrative: what happened in a session, when it happened, which agent/session it belonged to, and optionally an embedding for semantic episode search. Recall can route narrative or time-bounded questions toward episodes automatically, or combine episode and entry results in mixed mode. For implementation details and the episode recall model, see [docs/EPISODES.md](./docs/EPISODES.md).
 
-## How the Surgeon Works
+## How Dreaming Works
 
-The surgeon is a maintenance system for the durable-memory corpus. Four passes are implemented today: `claim_key_quality`, `proposal_resolution`, `supersession`, and `retirement`. `agenr surgeon run` defaults to an autonomous sequence across those passes and is safe by default because it starts in dry-run mode; `--pass <type>` runs one pass, and `--apply` is the explicit mutation switch. For runtime details, governance, and audit behavior, see [docs/SURGEON.md](./docs/SURGEON.md).
+Dreaming is the maintenance system for the durable-memory corpus. Milestone 1 ships a pipeline skeleton with `scan`, deterministic `reconcile`, and `apply`. `agenr dream run` is dry-run by default; `--apply` is the explicit mutation switch, and `--tier` selects `light`, `standard`, or `deep` coverage. For runtime details, governance, and the stage roadmap, see [docs/DREAMING.md](./docs/DREAMING.md).
