gentle-engram v0.5.0

gentle-engram 0.5.0

Source: fe897f66. Changes since gentle-engram 0.4.2 / pi-v0.4.2 (the npm predecessor, not the older GitHub Pi release).

Highlights

• Session-owned core startup/shutdown and bundled-store recovery across core upgrades.
• Align the default Pi memory tool profile with the Go-owned Agent contract and share compound workflow validation.
• Compact memory search and paginated observation history through the HTTP/Pi workflows.
• Canonical search/read/update memory workflow and unified protocol guidance.
• Package the Go-owned runtime comparison assets and add local package validation plus real HTTP workflow coverage.
• Keep post-compaction recovery instructions out of the system prompt to reduce unnecessary prompt re-reading.
• Isolate primary-runtime contract fixtures from inherited delegated-agent roles and improve Windows fixture portability.

Upgrade from 0.4.2

Version 0.5.0 and the matching core setup pins include migration of the known managed 0.4.2 predecessor while preserving unrelated settings and MCP configuration (#1924).

Compatibility and publication

Core publication status: Engram 3.5.1 is published from source 41f1254796d49233d7bcb11741093bc09eb386ff. The original v3.5.0 tag remains unchanged after its checksum-preflight failure. The actual public Windows amd64 core 3.5.1/Pi 0.5.0 pair passed an independent 11-check runtime and managed-settings upgrade smoke. gentle-engram 0.5.0 remains on npm's candidate channel; latest promotion is a separate pending operation, not a package republication. Full Go/Pi semantic parity, real-user upgrades and every downstream Shell bundle upgrade are not claimed. Back up data and configuration before upgrading.

Verification and limits

• Source CI passed for the exact release commit.
• Staged and actual public Windows amd64 core 3.5.1/Pi 0.5.0 artifacts passed separate isolated genuine Pi 1.3.0 native search/save/search, authentication, managed-settings migration and owned-process shutdown checks. The actual public probe ran once and exited 0 with all 11 checks passing. The Pi tarball matches the published package bytes; core archive hashes match GitHub API digests and checksums.txt.
• Core binaries report source revision 41f12547 with vcs.modified=true / +dirty and differ from staging; actual public runtime was tested rather than inheriting staging approval. No post-build tracked-clean proof or cryptographic signature-chain verification is claimed.
• No real-user database or installation was used. These checks do not certify every downstream Shell bundle upgrade.
• Windows binaries are not Authenticode-signed; Smart App Control and Defender reports remain separate open investigations (#1703, #1912).
