Quilltap 4.1.1 Release Notes

There is a certain kind of amnesia peculiar to the overly efficient secretary — the sort who, upon transcribing the minutes of last Tuesday's board meeting, dates every page with today's date, on the grounds that today is when the transcription occurred. The facts are all present and correct. The context, however, has been quietly murdered.

The Commonplace Book's memory extraction suffered from this very affliction. When a character's memories were extracted from conversation — whether in real-time as messages arrived or in batch during a re-extraction — each memory was stamped with the moment of its extraction rather than the moment of its origin. A memory drawn from a conversation held last Wednesday would claim, with perfect confidence, to have been born this morning. This made chronological reasoning about a character's knowledge rather like trying to reconstruct a timeline from a filing cabinet where every folder is labelled "today."

The fix ensures that extracted memories now carry the timestamp of their source message — the moment the words were actually spoken, not the moment someone got around to filing them. A one-time migration runs on startup to backfill existing memories from their linked source messages, correcting any temporal irregularities accumulated thus far.

Your characters' memories now know not merely what was said, but when.

What Changed

  • fix: Memory extraction (both batch and real-time) now preserves the source message's createdAt as the memory's createdAt/updatedAt instead of using the extraction time
  • fix: One-time migration backfills existing memories with correct timestamps from their linked source messages
