v0.10.0 — Soul Evolution Ecosystem

What's New in 0.10.0

Cross-Session Memory (Phase C)

• New memory faculty (layers/faculties/memory/) with provider-pluggable backend
• Providers: local (default, zero-dependency), Mem0, Zep
• Commands: store, retrieve, search, forget, stats
• Memory × Evolution bridge: repeated topics trigger interest discovery events

Context Handoff (Phase B)

• Seamless context transfer when switching personas via openpersona switch
• Auto-generates handoff.json with conversation summary, pending tasks, and emotional context
• Incoming persona reads handoff on activation for continuity

Evolution Governance (Phase D)

• Boundary validation at generation time:
  • immutableTraits — array of strings (max 100 chars each) that evolution cannot modify
  • minFormality / maxFormality — numeric bounds (1–10) for speaking style drift
• State history — snapshots pushed to stateHistory (capped at 10) before each update, enabling rollback
• evolve-report CLI — npx openpersona evolve-report <slug> displays a formatted evolution report

Documentation & Release (Phase G)

• Version bumped to 0.10.0 across all 11 sync points
• README expanded with Memory, Handoff, Governance, Soul Evolution section, updated CLI commands and directory structure
• 122 tests passing (up from 60)
