ClawVault v0.5.1 — memory, knowledge graph & verified guard

ClawVault v0.5.1 🐘

Persistent SQLite + FTS5 memory for OpenClaw — with verify-before-save built in. First tagged release, covering the full feature set through v0.5.1.

Highlights

• 🗄️ Single-file memory — SQLite + FTS5 via Node's built-in node:sqlite (no native build, no API keys, no vector index to corrupt)
• 🔧 7 tools — clawvault_save · clawvault_search · clawvault_recent · clawvault_consolidate · clawvault_relate · clawvault_links · clawvault_stats
• 🛡️ Duplicate guard — refuses near-identical memories (FTS + term overlap)
• 🧠 Consolidation + soft-retire — distil related memories into one insight; retire the raw ones (never deleted)
• ✅ Verified-claim guard — auto-downgrades verified:true when the source shows no real evidence of a check (mechanism over trust)
• 🕸️ Knowledge graph — typed links between memories (clawvault_relate / clawvault_links)
• 📜 Ships the Verify-Before-Save doctrine (DOCTRINE.md) + a companion self-improving skill

v0.5.1 — security & privacy cleanup

• Pinned all dependencies; bumped vitest 3.2.0 → 4.1.10 (clears a critical advisory) and the openclaw floor → 2026.7.1-2
• Seed layer is now generic operating rules — no personal persona injected
• Added a Privacy & data notice (local storage only, nothing leaves the machine)
