+### Added
+- `slm benchmark` plus escape-hatch commands (`disable`, `enable`,
+  `clear-cache`, `reconfigure`).
+- One-time upgrade banner on first boot after install.
+
+### Changed
+- Tighter defaults for the interactive installer.
+- Licence: AGPL-3.0-or-later.
+- Node.js prerequisite: ≥ 18.

 ## Why SuperLocalMemory?
 
-Every major AI memory system — Mem0, Zep, Letta, EverMemOS — sends your data to cloud LLMs for core operations. That means latency on every query, cost on every interaction, and after **August 2, 2026**, a compliance problem under the EU AI Act.
+Every **hosted** AI memory platform — Mem0 Cloud, Zep Cloud, Letta Cloud, EverMemOS Cloud — sends your data to cloud LLMs by default. Their self-hosted variants exist (Mem0 OpenMemory, Letta self-hosted, Graphiti) but require Docker + a separate graph DB or Ollama config, and most still default to OpenAI until you flip env vars. After **August 2, 2026**, any of those cloud paths becomes a compliance problem under the EU AI Act.
 
-SuperLocalMemory V3 takes a different approach: **mathematics instead of cloud compute.** Three techniques from differential geometry, algebraic topology, and stochastic analysis replace the work that other systems need LLMs to do — similarity scoring, contradiction detection, and lifecycle management. The result is an agent memory that runs entirely on your machine, on CPU, with no API keys, and still outperforms funded alternatives.

-Mode A scores **74.8% with zero cloud dependency** — outperforming Mem0 by 16 percentage points without a single API call. On open-domain questions, Mode A scores **85.0% — the highest of any system in the evaluation**, including cloud-powered ones. Mode C reaches **87.7%**, matching enterprise cloud systems.
+> **How to read this table.** Scores from different papers use different LoCoMo splits, judge models, and prompt variants. We do NOT claim these numbers are apples-to-apples across rows. The rows we re-ran in-house are marked "In-house"; cited rows link to the vendor's public source and date. Mode A is the only zero-LLM configuration in the list, so the comparison that is apples-to-apples is **Mode A 74.8% vs Mem0 zero-retrieval-LLM 64.2%** (+10.6pp). Mem0's 91.6% and EverMemOS's 93.05% use cloud LLMs; Mode C uses a local LLM (Ollama). BEAM-10M, the emerging successor benchmark, will be added in a future release.
+
+**What Mode A is**: CPU-only, SQLite-only, zero-LLM retrieval pipeline on published LoCoMo questions. To the best of our knowledge it is the only publicly-released local-first memory that clears Mem0's zero-LLM baseline on this benchmark. If another fully-local system hits similar numbers, please open an issue so we can update the table.
