v0.9.0 — causal knowledge updates + multi-session retrieval

v0.9.0 — causal knowledge updates + multi-session retrieval

Release binary: causal-memory (macOS arm64) — the MCP stdio server + CLI.
Usage: run it bare for the MCP server (dsh-mcp-client / DSH plugin / Claude
Code mcpServers), or causal-memory sleep|resolve-updates|ingest ....

New since v0.3.1

• C7 LLM update-resolver — repeated-decision candidates judged by an LLM;
  falsified lessons soft-invalidated. CLI resolve-updates --apply + wired into
  the sleep cycle as consolidation stage 1.7 (no-LLM degrades silently, judge
  failures keep the edge conservatively).
• Vela-style half-life decay tiers — effective_confidence = conf × 0.5^(age/halflife):
  user_feedback/llm 90d, temporal 7d, rule keeps legacy 0.99/day.
• Multi-session multi-pass retrieval — type-agnostic query decomposition (entities +
  temporal anchors) + full-coverage session expansion + verification loop. LongMemEval
  multi-session 42.9% → 57.9% on the same-codebase baseline (+25.6pp vs the published
  32.3%); temporal +5.3pp. Design: docs/design/multi-session-retrieval-2026-08.md.
• PyO3 Python bindings (crates/causal-memory-py).
• DeepSeek Harness native plugin (dsh-plugin/) — clean-named causal tools on
  ctx.tools + a system-prompt section; portable binary resolution (no hardcoded paths).
• Architecture visualization (docs/architecture.html).
