v2.4.0
Context quality and large repos: the final two phases of the evidence-based roadmap, shipped together.
Context quality
- Progressive-disclosure digest: an index of the .wolf state (one line per file, description, size, freshness) instead of a content dump; top 3 Do-Not-Repeat rules verbatim;
always: truefrontmatter files still inject, budget-capped. Target ~400 tokens (previous mean 794, 75% nag or placeholder). - Instruction-decay countermeasure: top rules re-surfaced every N tool batches (config
reinjection_interval). Grounded in the only factorial study of adherence (1,650 sessions): decay is within-session (~5.6%/function), file size is null - cadence is the fix, and nobody else ships it. - Compaction restore now re-injects paths-scoped rule contents for files touched this session - the platform documents these as silently lost at compaction.
- State-file budgets (cerebrum 2k / STATUS 1k) with one factual warning per session - native auto-memory's enforcement loop, applied to the committed cross-agent state.
- OpenWolf now measures agents' reads of its own state files (previously a deliberate ~147k-token blind spot) and steers whole-file anatomy/cerebrum reads to the cheap paths.
Large repos
openwolf map: token-budgeted overview ranked by personalized PageRank over the import graph persisted in the index (seeded by recent session reads and--focusterms; binary-search fitted to budget).openwolf find --file <path>: full index detail for one file.- Merkle-style freshness: root hash + stat sweep; the daemon rescans only when the index is actually stale.
- Built-in index hygiene: lockfiles, caches, .DS_Store, minified files excluded.
Cross-agent moat
.wolf/.gitignoreenforces the committed-vs-machine-local split; state templates carry frontmatter; the native Claude auto-memory index is mirrored into cerebrum so natively-captured learnings reach other agents and teammates.
Validation
openwolf bench: the A/B gate harness (medians per cache dimension, completion, bash re-run rate). Requires --yes; spends real API budget.
Run openwolf update to migrate (backup + install verification included).
