First call when past context matters. `limit` (5-20) widens the sweep; `context_limit` (0-20) sets how much surrounding conversation rides along, `0` for the memories alone. Both need a limit-aware engine — an older one refuses the whole call, and the tool says which argument to drop. |
 | `remember` | Store what the user said that is worth keeping. `speaker: "me"` = the agent's own spoken commitments. Fetched content (search results, files) is not a memory. |
 | `store_turn` | Record one exchange as short-term history - what the user said and what the agent replied. This is what fills `recall`'s 20-turn window — one call appends two entries — and nothing else writes it, so the agent is told to call it after **each** exchange. A turn is billed like any write and is kept long-term as well, searchable afterwards. |

 ## Changelog
 
+- **1.0.22** - back to beta, and less for the model to read. 1.0.19 to 1.0.21 said this
+  server was stable, but it is not ready yet, and this release changes the shape of
+  results. We are sorry for the change. The server instructions and tool descriptions go
+  from about 11.4k characters to 5.2k in the default setup: explanations, examples and
+  repeated notes are cut. With the argument schemas, what a model reads each session
+  goes from about 16.3k characters to 10.1k. Replies leave out empty and default fields
+  and the service's own notes, cut the times on memories to the second, and are not
+  indented. The fields left out no longer arrive, `revisions`' `counts` and `excludes`
+  among them. `search` returns the assistant's own words apart, in `self_memories`. They
+  used to be added to `memories`, so a filtered search mixed them, unfiltered, with what
+  matched. `view_image` says why it cannot show a picture rather than "Not found".
+  Underneath, the `wontopos` SDK pin moves to **2.2.42**.
+
 - **1.0.21** - in HTTP mode every client gets its own session. A second host, a
   reconnecting host and one that ended its session with DELETE each start a fresh
   session, and a session id the server no longer holds answers 404, so a host starts
