This release clarifies the scope of mempalace-mcp-bridge as the operational bridge for MemPalace with VS Code Copilot Chat via MCP.
What changed:
- advanced structured memory methodology has been moved out to the dedicated
mempalace-memory-engineeringrepository - bridge-side methodology docs now redirect readers to the new canonical repository
- the README has been reworked to keep the focus on setup, runtime integration, VS Code Copilot MCP configuration, verification, troubleshooting, and devcontainer usage
- documentation was reconciled with
mainso the bridge-facing onboarding and limitations remain explicit
Why this matters:
This repository had started to mix two different concerns:
- the bridge itself: setup, MCP wiring, runtime verification, compatibility handling, and troubleshooting
- memory engineering methodology: wings and rooms, retrieval order, deduplication, persistence rules, and instruction patterns
Those concerns now evolve separately. This release keeps the bridge repository focused on operating MemPalace reliably inside VS Code Copilot Chat, while moving the broader methodology to its own dedicated home.
Scope of this release:
- clearer repository boundary around the bridge/runtime layer
- retained focus on VS Code Copilot Chat MCP integration
- redirect stubs for moved methodology documents
- updated README and supporting documentation structure
What did not change:
- supported stable bridge target remains ChromaDB
0.6.x - setup, update, verify, and MCP launcher behavior are unchanged
- devcontainer usage remains supported
- reconstruction and investigation tooling remain in the repository
- no new runtime feature or compatibility change is introduced by this release
Known limitations:
- the stable bridge path still targets ChromaDB
0.6.x, not1.x - non-
0.6.xpalaces remain blocked in the stable path - experimental
1.xwork is still outside the supportedmainbridge workflow - Linux / WSL2 remains the tested path
