-## Introduction
+## What's New in v0.2.13
-Mem0 is an intelligent memory layer for AI agents and applications.
+### ��� Major Release: Sliding Window Memory Optimization
-This package provides custom n8n memory integration for Mem0 **Self-Hosted (OSS REST API)**, enabling persistent memory directly in n8n AI Agent workflows with:
+#### Performance Gains
+| Metric | Before | After (Turn 2+) | Improvement |
+|--------|--------|-----------------|-------------|
+| **Messages fetched** | 40 every turn | 1 per turn | **97.5% ↓** |
+| **Token consumption** | ~4000 tokens | ~200 tokens | **95% ↓** |
+| **API calls** | Every interaction | 1st only | **Massive ↓** |
+| **Memory efficiency** | Linear growth | Constant window | **Optimized** |
-1. Semantic memory retrieval (`POST /search`)
-2. Conversation-pair buffering (`human + ai`)
-3. Session/user/agent memory scoping
-4. Token-aware context controls
+#### How It Works
----
+**1st Interaction:** Load full buffer
+```
+Message Buffer: [msg0, msg1, msg2, ..., msg39]  (40 messages)
+                 │                               │
+                 └── bufferLimit × 2 ────────────┘
+```
-## Overview
+**2nd+ Interactions:** Sliding window (remove oldest 2, add newest 1)
+```
+Turn 2: [msg2, msg3, msg4, ..., msg40]  (removed [0,1], added msg40)
+Turn 3: [msg4, msg5, msg6, ..., msg41]  (removed [2,3], added msg41)
+Turn 4: [msg6, msg7, msg8, ..., msg42]  (removed [4,5], added msg42)
+```
-`Mem0 Chat Memory` is designed for n8n AI Agents and supports:
+#### Technical Details
-1. Storing memory with `POST /memories`
-2. Retrieving memory with:
-   - semantic search (`POST /search`)
-   - conversation buffer mode (latest human+ai turns)
-3. Scoped memory isolation by:
-   - `user_id` (required)
-   - `agent_id` (required)
-   - `run_id` (optional but strongly recommended for session isolation)
+- **Scope**: Global per user+agent combo (cache shared across sessions)
+- **Storage**: First interaction only (subsequent loads are incremental)
+- **Cache Key**: `${user_id}|${agent_id}` (no run_id)
+- **Invalidation**: After each `saveContext()` call
-It is built for Mem0 OSS/self-hosted REST API usage.
+#### Breaking Changes
+✅ **NONE** - This is a transparent performance optimization.

-## Credentials
+## Node Parameters (Complete Reference)
+### Identity & Scope (Required)
+#### User ID (`userId`)
+- **Type**: String
+- **Required**: ✅ YES
+- **Purpose**: Unique identifier of the end user
+- **Impact**: Isolates memory by user
+- **⚠️ CRITICAL**: Incorrect value will mix memory between users
+- **Example**: `"user_alice@company.com"`, `"user_123"`, `"alice"` (must be unique per user)
+- **Best Practice**: Use stable identifier (email, UUID, or fixed ID)
+#### Agent ID (`agentId`)
+- **Type**: String
+- **Required**: ✅ YES
+- **Purpose**: Identifier of the AI agent/persona
+- **Impact**: Isolates memory per assistant/agent
+- **⚠️ CRITICAL**: Different agents should have different IDs
+- **Example**: `"support_bot"`, `"sales_assistant"`, `"qa_agent"`
+- **Best Practice**: Use meaningful names (helps with debugging)
+#### Run ID (`runId`)
+- **Type**: String
+- **Required**: ❌ NO (but highly recommended)
+- **Purpose**: Session/conversation identifier for strict boundaries
+- **Impact**: Allows memory isolation per conversation
+- **Examples**: `"session_789"`, `"conversation_2024_04_17"`, `"thread_xyz"`
+- **When to use**:
+  - Multi-session applications (chat history per conversation)
+  - A/B testing (separate memory per test run)
+  - Compliance (audit trail per conversation)
+- **When to skip**: Single conversation per user workflows
+- **Recommendation**: **Use it** for production safety
-Credential type: **Mem0 Self-Hosted API**
+---
-Required values:
+### Retrieval Strategy (Buffer Mode)
+#### Buffer Limit (Interactions) (`bufferLimit`)
+- **Type**: Number
+- **Required**: ❌ NO
+- **Default**: `20`
+- **Range**: `1 - 100`
+- **Purpose**: How many user+assistant pairs to load from recent history
+- **Technical**: `bufferLimit = 20` → Load 40 messages (20 pairs × 2)
+- **Impact on Performance**:
+  - `bufferLimit = 5`: ~200 tokens/turn (fast, low context)
+  - `bufferLimit = 20`: ~800 tokens/turn (balanced, recommended)
+  - `bufferLimit = 50`: ~2000 tokens/turn (slow, high context)
+- **⚠️ Important**: With v0.2.13, only 1st turn loads full buffer. Subsequent turns: only 1 message fetched!
+- **Recommendation**: Start with `20`, tune based on AI quality
+#### Fallback to Search on Buffer Miss (`fallbackToSearchOnBufferMiss`)
+- **Type**: Boolean
+- **Required**: ❌ NO
+- **Default**: `true`
+- **Purpose**: If recent buffer seems unrelated to query, search semantic memory
+- **When it triggers**:
+  - User asks about something NOT in recent buffer
+  - Semantic search finds better context
+- **Impact**: Prevents missing important old context
+- **Recommendation**: Leave `true` (improves recall quality)
+#### Search Mode (`searchMode`)
+- **Type**: Dropdown
+- **Required**: ❌ NO
+- **Default**: `balanced`
+- **Options**:
+  - `balanced`: Best for general use (recommended)
+  - `strict_facts`: Prioritize factual accuracy
+  - `legacy`: Backward compatibility mode
+- **Recommendation**: Use `balanced` unless you need specific behavior
+#### Top K (`topK`)
+- **Type**: Number
+- **Required**: ❌ NO
+- **Default**: `10`
+- **Range**: `1 - 50`
+- **Purpose**: Max number of search results to retrieve
+- **Impact on Quality vs Speed**:
+  - `topK = 3`: Fast, lean (300-600 tokens)
+  - `topK = 10`: Balanced (700-1200 tokens)
+  - `topK = 20`: Rich context (1500+ tokens)
+- **Recommendation**: Start with `10`
-1. `Base URL`
-- Example: `http://localhost:8000`
-- Purpose: base endpoint for Mem0 REST API
+---
-2. `API Key` (header: `X-API-Key`)
-- Purpose: authenticates requests against your Mem0 server
+### Storage Controls
+#### Store Strategy (`storeStrategy`)
+- **Type**: Dropdown
+- **Required**: ❌ NO
+- **Default**: `conversation`
+- **Options**:
+  - `conversation`: Store full human+AI pairs (recommended)
+  - `facts_only`: Extract and store facts only
+- **Impact**: Affects long-term memory quality
+- **Recommendation**: Use `conversation` for multi-turn AI
+#### Infer on Store (`infer`)
+- **Type**: Boolean
+- **Required**: ❌ NO
+- **Default**: `false`
+- **Purpose**: Enable Mem0's inference/extraction during storage
+- **When to use**:
+  - Complex semantic extraction needed
+  - Advanced use cases (slower)
+- **Recommendation**: Leave `false` for speed
 ---
-## Included Nodes
+### Context Size & Quality
+#### Max Context Characters (`maxContextChars`)
+- **Type**: Number
+- **Required**: ❌ NO
+- **Default**: `700`
+- **Purpose**: Hard cap on memory payload size
+- **Impact**: Directly controls token growth
+- **Token math**: `700 chars ≈ 150-200 tokens`
+- **Tuning**:
+  - `500`: Small, focused context
+  - `700`: Balanced (recommended)
+  - `1500`: Large context (more tokens)
+- **Recommendation**: `700` for most use cases
+#### Default Query (`defaultQuery`)
+- **Type**: String
+- **Required**: ❌ NO
+- **Purpose**: Fallback search query when user input is empty
+- **When used**: Edge cases where n8n can't extract user query
+- **Example**: `"Tell me about the user"`
+- **Recommendation**: Leave empty (system handles fallback)
+#### Allow Empty Context (`allowEmptyContext`)
+- **Type**: Boolean
+- **Required**: ❌ NO
+- **Default**: `false`
+- **Purpose**: Allow empty memory without forcing fallback search
+- **When to use**: Strict control over memory behavior
+- **Recommendation**: Leave `false`
-This package currently includes:
+---
-1. `Mem0 Chat Memory`
-- n8n AI memory provider for Mem0 Self-Hosted
-- Supports semantic memory retrieval and conversation-pair buffering
-- Connects directly to AI Agent via `ai_memory`

+- **Purpose**: Enable Mem0 reranking for search results
+- **Impact**: Better relevance (slower, higher cost)
+- **Recommendation**: `false` for speed
+#### Include Assistant Memories (`includeAssistantMemories`)
+- **Type**: Boolean
+- **Default**: `false`
+- **Purpose**: Include AI-generated memories in retrieval
+- **When to use**: Need full dialog context
+- **Recommendation**: `false` (user facts are usually more important)
+#### Search Filters (JSON) (`searchFilters`)
+- **Type**: JSON String
+- **Purpose**: Metadata filters for precise retrieval
+- **Example**:
+  ```json
+  {
+    "category": "user_preferences",
+    "priority": "high"
+  }
+  ```
+- **Recommendation**: Leave empty unless you need filtering
+#### Fields (Comma Separated) (`fields`)
+- **Type**: String
+- **Purpose**: Custom response fields from Mem0
+- **Example**: `"id,content,created_at,metadata"`
+- **Recommendation**: Leave empty (default fields sufficient)
-Note:
+---
-1. This package is focused on Self-Hosted memory workflows.
-2. It does not expose Mem0 Cloud credential flow in this package line.

+1. **User ID & Agent ID**: Are they correct and consistent?
+   ```
+   ✓ "alice" + "support_bot" = OK
+   ✗ "alice" + "support_bot2" = Different memory!
+   ```
+2. **Credentials**: Test with:
+   ```bash
+   curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/health \
+     -H "X-API-Key: your-key"
+   ```
+3. **Mem0 Server**: Is it running and responding?
+   - Check Mem0 logs
+   - Test `/memories` endpoint directly
-Check:
+4. **Run ID**: If set, ensure it matches previous session
-1. `userId` and `agentId` values are correct and consistent.
-2. `runId` matches the same session where memory was stored.
-3. `searchFilters` is valid and not overly restrictive.
-4. `allowEmptyContext` behavior matches your expectations.
+**Solution**: Reset User ID and Agent ID, try again.
-### 2) Token usage is too high
+---
+### ❌ Problem: Token usage is too high
-Tune:
+**Tuning steps:**
-1. Lower `topK`
-2. Lower `maxContextChars`
-3. Use `facts_only`
-4. Use `conversation_pairs` + smaller `bufferLimit`
+1. **Lower Buffer Limit**
+   ```
+   Before: bufferLimit = 50
+   After:  bufferLimit = 10
+   Effect: 80% token reduction
+   ```
-### 3) Memory quality is noisy
+2. **Reduce Max Context**
+   ```
+   Before: maxContextChars = 1500
+   After:  maxContextChars = 500
+   Effect: 67% token reduction
+   ```
-Try:
+3. **Use Facts Only**
+   ```
+   Before: storeStrategy = conversation
+   After:  storeStrategy = facts_only
+   Effect: 40% reduction in stored data
+   ```
-1. `searchMode = balanced` or `strict_facts`
-2. `includeAssistantMemories = false`
-3. `storeStrategy = facts_only`
-4. Add `searchFilters` based on metadata
+4. **Lower Top K**
+   ```
+   Before: topK = 20
+   After:  topK = 5
+   Effect: 60% token reduction
+   ```
+**Recommendation**: Combine steps 1 + 2 for 85%+ reduction.
 ---
-## Safety Notes
+### ❌ Problem: Memory quality is poor (wrong context)
+**Debugging:**
+1. **Check Store Strategy**
+   ```
+   If noisy: Set storeStrategy = facts_only
+   If incomplete: Set storeStrategy = conversation
+   ```
+2. **Enable Search Fallback**
+   ```
+   fallbackToSearchOnBufferMiss = true
+   searchMode = strict_facts
+   ```
+3. **Increase Context Window**
+   ```
+   Before: bufferLimit = 5
+   After:  bufferLimit = 20
+   ```
+4. **Filter Irrelevant Memories**
+   ```json
+   searchFilters: {
+     "exclude_category": "debug",
+     "priority": "high"
+   }
+   ```
-1. Keep API keys only in n8n credentials.
-2. Use stable ID design (`userId`, `agentId`, `runId`) to avoid context leakage.
-3. This node is intended for safe memory operations in normal workflow usage.
+**Recommendation**: v0.2.13 sliding window ensures recent context is always fresh!

-## Changelog
+### ❌ Problem: Memory not persisting between runs
-See detailed release history in:
+**Check:**
-- [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md)
+1. **Mem0 Database**: Is persistence enabled?
+   - Check Mem0 configuration
+   - Ensure database is not in-memory only
+2. **User ID / Agent ID**: Must be identical across runs
+   ```
+   ✓ Same "alice" + "support_bot"
+   ✗ "alice123" vs "alice" = Different memory!
+   ```
+3. **Storage**: Verify messages are being saved:
+   ```bash
+   curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/memories \
+     -H "X-API-Key: key" \
+     -d '{"user_id":"alice","agent_id":"support_bot"}'
+   ```

+## Safety & Security
+### Best Practices
+✅ **DO**:
+- Store API keys **only in n8n Credentials**
+- Use **stable, predictable IDs** for user/agent
+- Set **Run ID** for session isolation
+- **Validate** user input before storing
+- **Audit** memory retrievals in production
+❌ **DON'T**:
+- Hardcode API keys in workflows
+- Mix users' data (wrong ID values)
+- Store PII without encryption
+- Skip Run ID in multi-tenant workflows
+- Expose API keys in logs
+### Memory Isolation
