+
+**Headline finding**: The temporal-window mechanism originally claimed for ConvMemory is refuted by a 5-seed paired-bootstrap attribution study. The engineering value of the reranker (10-100× cheaper than cross-encoder baselines on conversational memory retrieval) survives the negative attribution.

+### ConvMemory v2: Evidence Reranker (recall-preserving top-10 cross-encoder)
+
+ConvMemory v2 is an opt-in evidence reranker that runs after v1. It preserves
+the exact v1 top-10 candidate set, then uses token-level query/memory evidence
+to reorder only that protected prefix. This improves precision and MRR without
+changing v1 Recall@10; if v1 did not retrieve the gold memory into top-10, v2
+cannot rescue it. The v0.5.0 evidence checkpoint is published on Hugging Face,
+but loading remains explicit.
+
+```python
+from convmemory import ConvMemory
+
+model = ConvMemory.from_pretrained("Purdy0228/ConvMemory-LoCoMo-MPNet")
+model.load_evidence_reranker("Purdy0228/ConvMemory-v2-Evidence-Reranker")
+
+ranked = model.retrieve(
+    query=query,
+    memories=candidates,
+    evidence_reranker="v2",
+    top_k=10,
+)
+```
+
+See [Evidence Reranker](docs/EVIDENCE_RERANKER.md) for the v363 headline
+numbers, v364 load-bearing ablations, anti-leak guards, and limitations.
+
+### Experimental Memory-MLA Recall Expander
+
+This is **not** the v0.5.0 evidence reranker. See "ConvMemory v2: Evidence
+Reranker" above for the v2 release.
+
+Memory-MLA is an opt-in prefix-protected recall expander. It is not a
+replacement for v1, and it is off by default: `retrieve(query, memories)` remains
+the pure v1 ConvMemory path.
+
+The expander runs after the base ConvMemory ranking. It preserves the top
+`protect_top_k` results exactly, then uses compressed memory latent codes to
+reorder a small suffix window for extra recall. The verified v320 configuration
+is `latent_count=12`, `code_dim=64`, `protect_top_k=7`, and
+`expand_window=16`. It mainly targets Recall@10 / hard-recall improvements; it
+does not claim SOTA.
+
+```python
+from convmemory import ConvMemory
+
+model = ConvMemory.from_pretrained("Purdy0228/ConvMemory-LoCoMo-MPNet")
+model.load_expander("path-or-hub-id-for-memory-mla")
+
+ranked = model.retrieve(
+    query=query,
+    memories=candidates,
+    expander="memory_mla",
+    protect_top_k=7,
+    expand_window=16,
+    top_k=20,
+)
+```
+
+The API is experimental and follows the CCGE-LA opt-in pattern. See
+[Memory-MLA](docs/MEMORY_MLA.md) for mechanism notes, training discipline, and
+the v320 verification numbers.
