package/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -5,6 +5,54 @@ All notable changes to SuperLocalMemory will be documented in this file.

 and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
+## [4.0.4] - 2026-08-15 — Optional Bounded Loops evidence bridge
+
+### Added
+- An optional MCP 2 bridge discovers the separately installed
+  `bounded-loops-mcp` producer at call time and negotiates the public
+  `bounded-loops.dev/slm-bridge/v1` capability rather than pinning a producer
+  package version.
+- `observe_bounded_loop_evidence(workspace)` explicitly imports sanitized
+  terminal graph evidence using the producer's `run_ref` address. It is
+  available in the default, `code`, `full`, and `power` MCP surfaces.
+- M041 stores typed, profile-scoped external evidence in `learning.db`; Living
+  Brain displays honest Bounded Loop observation totals and documentation
+  explains the independent-product contract.
+
+### Safety
+- The bridge accepts no caller-supplied executable or shell arguments, has a
+  five-second producer timeout, validates the exact v1 evidence shape, and
+  preserves `eligible_for_learning: false`.
+- External receipts never enter recall, ranking, routing, reward, or automatic
+  learning. Profile erasure removes them and a durable tombstone blocks stale
+  processes from recreating them.
+
+## [4.0.3] - 2026-08-15 — Consented host integration upgrades
+
+### Added
+- `slm upgrade-hosts` provides a read-only preview of existing SLM host
+  integrations. `--apply` requires either explicit `--host` targets or
+  `--all-detected`; unbounded host mutation is rejected.
+- The npm runtime installer and interactive setup checklist direct existing
+  users to the upgrade preview. README, source docs, and Wiki source document
+  the host-specific upgrade and restart path.
+- Portable Brain evidence is now reachable from the `code`, `full`, and
+  `power` MCP profiles used by installed agents. Profile counts are now code
+  28, full 46, power 58, and whole 91; legacy count-suffixed aliases remain
+  supported.
+- The separately packaged Codex rules and skills are synchronized from the
+  shared plugin source for this release.
+
+### Changed
+- Existing portable MCP blocks are verified and preserved, retaining their
+  host-specific command paths, environment variables, and unrelated servers.
+  Codex refreshes only SLM-owned skills, agents, and lifecycle hooks.
+- Claude Code plugin updates remain owned by its native plugin manager.
+
+### Safety
+- Normal CLI commands and MCP startup no longer auto-install or update Claude
+  Code hooks. Host configuration changes require explicit operator action.

 **Memory with a sense of time.** SLM does not only store *what* an agent learned — it records *when*. Every fact carries ingestion timing and provenance; recall runs a dedicated temporal candidate channel alongside semantic, lexical, and associative retrieval; scenes and entity timelines reconstruct sequence; and the lifecycle lets neglected memory decay and self-archive instead of growing without bound. Time is a first-class ranking and lifecycle signal rather than a timestamp column an agent never reads — which is what lets a long-lived agent reason about how its context changed, not only what it currently holds.
