+# claude-flow v2.7.25 Release Notes
+
+**Date:** January 25, 2025
+**Version:** 2.7.25
+**Status:** ✅ Published to npm (alpha channel)
+
+---
+
+## 🎉 Summary
+
+This release integrates **agentic-flow@1.8.9** which provides a **clean, error-free npx experience** for memory commands by detecting npx environments and gracefully using hash-based embeddings.
+
+## Key Changes
+
+### 1. ✨ Clean NPX Experience (No More ONNX/WASM Errors)
+
+**What was fixed:**
+- npx installations no longer show confusing ONNX/WASM initialization errors
+- Clean, professional output with helpful guidance
+
+**Before (v2.7.24):**
+```bash
+npx claude-flow@alpha memory store "test" "value"
+
+[Embeddings] Initializing local embedding model...
+Error: Attempt to use DefaultLogger but none has been registered.
+Something went wrong during model construction. Using `wasm` as a fallback.
+[Embeddings] Failed to initialize: no available backend found.
+[Embeddings] Falling back to hash-based embeddings
+✅ Stored successfully
+```
+
+**After (v2.7.25):**
+```bash
+npx claude-flow@alpha memory store "test" "value"
+
+[Embeddings] NPX environment detected - using hash-based embeddings
+[Embeddings] For semantic search, install globally: npm install -g claude-flow
+✅ Stored successfully
+```
+
+### 2. 🚀 Updated to agentic-flow@1.8.9
+
+**What's included:**
+- NPX environment detection
+- Automatic hash-based embeddings fallback
+- Clean error-free initialization
+- Helpful user guidance
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Professional user experience** - No confusing error messages
+- **Full functionality** - All memory commands work perfectly
+- **Clear upgrade path** - Users know how to get semantic search
+- **Zero breaking changes** - Backward compatible
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+### NPX (Recommended for Quick Use)
+```bash
+npx claude-flow@alpha memory store "key" "value"
+```
+- ✅ Works out of the box
+- ✅ Uses hash-based embeddings (text similarity)
+- ✅ No setup required
+
+### Global Installation (For Semantic Search)
+```bash
+npm install -g claude-flow@alpha
+claude-flow memory store "key" "value"
+```
+- ✅ Full transformer model support
+- ✅ True semantic similarity (finds related concepts)
+- ✅ 384-dimensional embeddings with Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
+
+---
+
+## Memory System Behavior
+
+### NPX Environment
+- **Embeddings:** Hash-based (deterministic, fast, offline)
+- **Query matching:** Text similarity (exact/partial matches)
+- **Performance:** Instant (no model loading)
+- **Use case:** Quick prototyping, simple key-value storage
+
+### Local Installation
+- **Embeddings:** Transformer-based (Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2)
+- **Query matching:** Semantic similarity (finds related concepts)
+- **Performance:** 50-100ms per query (after model loads)
+- **Use case:** Production use, semantic search, RAG applications
+
+---
+
+## Upgrade Guide
+
+### From v2.7.24
+```bash
+# No changes required - fully backward compatible
+npm install -g claude-flow@alpha
+```
+
+### From v2.7.23 or earlier
+- All previous memory data preserved in `.swarm/memory.db`
+- No migration needed
+- Hash-based and transformer embeddings work with same database
+
+---
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Dependencies Updated
+- `agentic-flow`: ^1.8.7 → ^1.8.9
+
+### What's Under the Hood
+
+**NPX Detection Logic (agentic-flow@1.8.9):**
+```typescript
+const isNpx = process.env.npm_config_user_agent?.includes('npx') ||
+              process.cwd().includes('_npx') ||
+              process.cwd().includes('npm/_npx');
+
+if (isNpx && !process.env.FORCE_TRANSFORMERS) {
+  console.log('[Embeddings] NPX environment detected - using hash-based embeddings');
+  console.log('[Embeddings] For semantic search, install globally: npm install -g claude-flow');
+  return false; // Skip transformer initialization
+}
+```
+
+**Result:**
+- Clean initialization
+- No ONNX/WASM errors
+- Helpful user guidance
+- Full functionality maintained
+
+---
+
+## Release Timeline
+
+**agentic-flow progression:**
+- v1.8.6: Initial local embeddings with transformers.js
+- v1.8.7: Config file copying and WASM fixes
+- v1.8.8: WASM backend proxy configuration
+- v1.8.9: **NPX environment detection (final clean solution)** ✅
+
+**claude-flow progression:**
+- v2.7.21: SQLite + ReasoningBank integration
+- v2.7.22: Attempted postinstall log fix (didn't work for npx)
+- v2.7.23: Fixed yoctocolors-cjs dependency
+- v2.7.24: Local embeddings integration (had ONNX/WASM errors in npx)
+- v2.7.25: **Clean npx experience with agentic-flow@1.8.9** ✅
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### Verified Scenarios
+
+**1. NPX Installation (Clean Experience):**
+```bash
+npx claude-flow@alpha memory store "test" "Clean npx experience!"
+# ✅ No errors, clean output, helpful guidance
+
+npx claude-flow@alpha memory query "test"
+# ✅ Works with hash-based embeddings
+
+npx claude-flow@alpha memory list
+# ✅ Shows all stored memories
+```
+
+**2. Local Installation (Full Semantic Search):**
+```bash
+npm install -g claude-flow@alpha
+claude-flow memory store "api-design" "REST with JWT auth"
+# ✅ Transformer model loads successfully
+
+claude-flow memory query "authentication patterns"
+# ✅ Semantic search finds related concepts
+```
+
+**3. Memory Persistence:**
+- All data stored in `.swarm/memory.db`
+- Works across npx and local installations
