+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to memledger will be documented in this file. The format
+follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/) and the
+project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [0.5.0a0] — 2026-05-12 — **alpha (name-reservation release)**
+
+First public alpha. Reserves the `memledger` name on PyPI and signals that
+the v1 OSS launch is imminent. Use at your own risk; the stable `0.5.0`
+release will follow when the launch checklist in
+[docs/test-plan.md](docs/test-plan.md) is fully signed off.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Local fastembed embedding default** (`provider=local`,
+  `BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5`, 384 dims) so `pip install memledger[local,pgvector]`
+  works without any cloud credentials.
+- **`[aws]` umbrella extra** that pulls Bedrock + DynamoDB + SigV4 OpenSearch
+  in one shot for AWS users.
+- **Three-tier evaluator suite**:
+  - Tier 1 — deterministic Memory Attribution Integrity (no LLM).
+  - Tier 2 — RAGAS LLM-as-judge via LiteLLM (provider-agnostic;
+    `MEMLEDGER_JUDGE_MODEL=openai/gpt-4o-mini` / `bedrock/...` / `anthropic/...`
+    / `ollama/...`).
+  - Tier 3 — AWS Bedrock AgentCore evaluator (behind `[aws]` extra).
+- **Arize Phoenix wiring** (`memledger.telemetry.phoenix.log_evaluation`) —
+  best-effort, deployment-agnostic over OTLP + `arize-phoenix-client`.
+- **OpenTelemetry promoted to core dependency** — observability ships by
+  default with `pip install memledger`.
+- **Weakest-link confidence gating** (`provenance/effective_confidence.py`)
+  — a memory's effective confidence for retrieval is bounded by the weakest
+  link in its upstream provenance chain. Wired into `search()` and
+  `search_hybrid()`.
+- **`ChainStore` abstraction seam** (`provenance/chain_store.py`) so v1.5+
+  can swap the JSON-array chain walker for a graph-native implementation
+  (Apache AGE / RecursiveCTE / Neo4j) without touching gating code.
+- **`NamespaceRBAC` auto-enforcement** in `add()` and `search()` —
+  caller-supplied agent identity, opt-in policy. (v2 will derive identity
+  from kagent ServiceAccount / IRSA.)
+- **User-facing CLI surface** (Typer): `init`, `add`, `search`, `get`,
+  `status`, `eval`, `trace show`, `conflict check`. Demo / kagent-narrative
+  commands hidden behind `--help`.
+- **Golden-dataset replay harness** at `evaluators/calibration/replay.py`
+  reporting accuracy, per-class accuracy, confusion matrix, MAE; the
+  deterministic tier has a CI floor of 0.70 categorical accuracy.
+
+### Changed
+
+- AWS region across all modules now reads `$AWS_REGION` (defaulting to
+  `us-west-2`); no more hardcoded literals.
+- AWS-coupled integration tests live behind `pytest.mark.aws`; the default
+  `pytest` run is AWS-free.
+- `scripts/smoke_test.py` rewritten with OSS gates (L1–L4) as the default
+  and AWS gates (A1–A4) behind `--with-aws` / `--aws-only`.
+- AgentCore evaluator registration helper moved from
+  `evaluators/attribution_integrity.py` into the AWS-only
+  `evaluators/agentcore_evaluator.py` so the deterministic tier file
+  has no boto3 or AWS dependencies.
+
+### Removed
+
+- The committed `config/evaluator_arns.json` artifact (contained an AWS
+  account ID). The file is now gitignored. Git history has been rewritten
+  to scrub the account ID from every commit.
+
+### Deferred to v1.5 / v2 (not in this alpha)
+
+- Graph-native chain storage (Apache AGE / Neo4j). The JSON-array walker
+  is acceptable up to ~5 hops; the abstraction seam makes the swap a
+  drop-in.
+- Temporal decay and conflict detection at the SDK boundary
+  (implementations exist; not wired into `add()` / `search()`).
+- IRSA-based identity for `NamespaceRBAC`. v1 RBAC is
+  agent-claimed-identity — best-effort, not a hard security boundary.
+- AgentCore Evaluations + CloudWatch OTEL sink first-class wiring.
+
+### Known limitations
+
+- One pgvector integration test (`test_semantic_record`) is flaky due to
+  float-precision in the storage round-trip (asserts `confidence == 0.95`
+  exactly; the round-trip yields `0.949999988…`). Tracked.
+- Test plan rows requiring manual sign-off (RAGAS LLM-judge end-to-end,
+  Bedrock embedding full validation, kagent EKS Helm deploy, TestPyPI
+  install round-trip, multi-Python-version testing) are open. The full
+  list is in [docs/test-plan.md](docs/test-plan.md) and
+  [docs/v1-feature-gap-check.md](docs/v1-feature-gap-check.md).

+# memledger
+
+**Memory governance and trust layer for multi-agent AI systems.**
+
+memledger adds attribution, provenance, confidence gating, and quality measurement on top of any vector-backed memory store. Every memory carries a source, a confidence score, a derivation chain, and an audit trail — so when agents share memory, trust transfers become legible instead of invisible.
+
+> ⚠️ **v0.5.0a0 — alpha release (name-reservation).** Phase A + B of the v1 OSS launch are done; Phase C/D/E are in flight. `pip install memledger` (no `--pre`) will not pick this up — you must explicitly opt in (`pip install memledger==0.5.0a0` or `--pre`). The stable `v1.0.0` will follow when the launch checklist signs off. See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) and [docs/test-plan.md](docs/test-plan.md) for what's verified vs. what's still on the runway. **Do not use in production.**
+
+## Why memledger
+
+Existing memory frameworks (Mem0, Zep, Letta, AgentCore Memory) optimize for *recall quality* — how accurately the system retrieves relevant memory. None of them address *accountability* — who wrote this memory, how confident were they, what did they derive it from, and how has it been used since.
+
+In a single-agent system, the accountability gap is academic. In a multi-agent system where agents read and act on each other's beliefs, it is the fault line where systems fail at scale.
+
+## What it does
+
+- **Attribution** — every memory carries `created_by`, `confidence`, `session_id`, `derived_from`, `supersedes`, `workflow_id`, `triggered_by`, `hedged`, `namespace`
+- **Cross-agent lineage chains** — derivation chains tracked across agent boundaries; effective confidence is the weakest link in the chain
+- **Confidence-gated retrieval** — per-namespace `PASS` / `FLAG` / `FILTER` policy applied at search time
+- **Outcome feedback loop** — `record_outcome()` updates memory confidence based on observed downstream outcomes
+- **Namespace RBAC** — declarative per-agent access control over hierarchical namespaces
+- **Memory Attribution Integrity (MAI) evaluation** — calibrated scorer (deterministic + LLM-as-judge) for memory quality
+- **OpenTelemetry observability** — every operation emits spans with memory trust attributes
+- **MCP server** — framework-agnostic adoption via Model Context Protocol
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install memledger
+```
+
+Backend extras (pick one or more):
+
+```bash
+pip install memledger[local,pgvector]   # zero-cloud OSS quickstart: local fastembed + Postgres+pgvector
+pip install memledger[pgvector]         # bring your own LLM/embedding provider via LiteLLM
+pip install memledger[sqlite]           # local SQLite (tests/demos only)
+pip install memledger[aws]              # AWS path: Bedrock, OpenSearch SigV4, DynamoDB
+```
+
+**Backend contract (v1):** the only required backend is **open-source PostgreSQL ≥ 14 with the [pgvector](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector) extension ≥ 0.5**. Aurora, RDS, Supabase, Neon and any other Postgres flavor work with the same backend class — only the DSN changes. See [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md#memory-backend-contract-v1) for verified deployment patterns (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS).
+
+## Quick start
+
+```python
+from memledger import Memledger
+
+ml = await Memledger.create(backend_name="sqlite", connection_string=":memory:")
+
+await ml.add(
+    content="HikariCP maxPoolSize=50 fixes payment-service OOM",
+    namespace="/ops/incidents/payment-svc",
+    confidence=0.9,
+    created_by="ops-agent",
+)
+
+results = await ml.search(query="connection pool fix", namespace="/ops/incidents/payment-svc")
+for r in results:
+    print(r.content, r.confidence, r.created_by)
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+System architecture, data model, and observability pipeline are documented in [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md).
+
+## Companion repositories
+
+memledger is split across three repositories under the [memledger-ai](https://github.com/memledger-ai) organization:
+

+# memledger
+
+**Memory governance and trust layer for multi-agent AI systems.**
+
+memledger adds attribution, provenance, confidence gating, and quality measurement on top of any vector-backed memory store. Every memory carries a source, a confidence score, a derivation chain, and an audit trail — so when agents share memory, trust transfers become legible instead of invisible.
+
+> ⚠️ **v0.5.0a0 — alpha release (name-reservation).** Phase A + B of the v1 OSS launch are done; Phase C/D/E are in flight. `pip install memledger` (no `--pre`) will not pick this up — you must explicitly opt in (`pip install memledger==0.5.0a0` or `--pre`). The stable `v1.0.0` will follow when the launch checklist signs off. See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) and [docs/test-plan.md](docs/test-plan.md) for what's verified vs. what's still on the runway. **Do not use in production.**
+
+## Why memledger
+
+Existing memory frameworks (Mem0, Zep, Letta, AgentCore Memory) optimize for *recall quality* — how accurately the system retrieves relevant memory. None of them address *accountability* — who wrote this memory, how confident were they, what did they derive it from, and how has it been used since.
+
+In a single-agent system, the accountability gap is academic. In a multi-agent system where agents read and act on each other's beliefs, it is the fault line where systems fail at scale.
+
+## What it does
+
+- **Attribution** — every memory carries `created_by`, `confidence`, `session_id`, `derived_from`, `supersedes`, `workflow_id`, `triggered_by`, `hedged`, `namespace`
+- **Cross-agent lineage chains** — derivation chains tracked across agent boundaries; effective confidence is the weakest link in the chain
+- **Confidence-gated retrieval** — per-namespace `PASS` / `FLAG` / `FILTER` policy applied at search time
+- **Outcome feedback loop** — `record_outcome()` updates memory confidence based on observed downstream outcomes
+- **Namespace RBAC** — declarative per-agent access control over hierarchical namespaces
+- **Memory Attribution Integrity (MAI) evaluation** — calibrated scorer (deterministic + LLM-as-judge) for memory quality
+- **OpenTelemetry observability** — every operation emits spans with memory trust attributes
+- **MCP server** — framework-agnostic adoption via Model Context Protocol
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install memledger
+```
+
+Backend extras (pick one or more):
+
+```bash
+pip install memledger[local,pgvector]   # zero-cloud OSS quickstart: local fastembed + Postgres+pgvector
+pip install memledger[pgvector]         # bring your own LLM/embedding provider via LiteLLM
+pip install memledger[sqlite]           # local SQLite (tests/demos only)
+pip install memledger[aws]              # AWS path: Bedrock, OpenSearch SigV4, DynamoDB
+```
+
+**Backend contract (v1):** the only required backend is **open-source PostgreSQL ≥ 14 with the [pgvector](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector) extension ≥ 0.5**. Aurora, RDS, Supabase, Neon and any other Postgres flavor work with the same backend class — only the DSN changes. See [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md#memory-backend-contract-v1) for verified deployment patterns (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS).
+
+## Quick start
+
+```python
+from memledger import Memledger
+
+ml = await Memledger.create(backend_name="sqlite", connection_string=":memory:")
+
+await ml.add(
+    content="HikariCP maxPoolSize=50 fixes payment-service OOM",
+    namespace="/ops/incidents/payment-svc",
+    confidence=0.9,
+    created_by="ops-agent",
+)
+
+results = await ml.search(query="connection pool fix", namespace="/ops/incidents/payment-svc")
+for r in results:
+    print(r.content, r.confidence, r.created_by)
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+System architecture, data model, and observability pipeline are documented in [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md).
+
