v0.7.0

[0.7.0] - 2026-10-08

Part of the coordinated MIF (Modeled Information Format) 1.4.2 release.
mnemonic targets MIF 1.4.2; its schemas are byte-identical to MIF 1.4.1, so
the 1.4.1 forms and section references below apply unchanged.
Memories written by earlier releases keep working unchanged: every legacy
form below is still read, and validators report it as a warning, never an
error.

Changed

• [MIF 1.4.1 write forms]: New memories, templates and library writers
  use MIF 1.4.1 spellings
  • camelCase concept frontmatter keys (MIF 1.4.1 section 3.3): validFrom,
    recordedAt, lastAccessed, decay.halfLife, provenance.sourceType,
    compressedAt, codeRefs, ...
  • provenance.sourceType values from the MIF enum (user_explicit,
    user_implicit, agent_inferred, external_import, system_generated)
  • capture templates nest confidence, strength, halfLife,
    lastAccessed and the decay model under provenance / temporal
    instead of writing them at the top level
  • relationships: kebab-case type tokens (relates-to, superseded-by),
    urn:mif:<uuid> targets, metadata.label, and every frontmatter
    relationship mirrored as a Markdown link under ## Relationships
    (section 5.3) instead of [[uuid]] wiki-links
  • citations: citationType, citationRole, "@type": Citation
• [Tolerant readers]: New lib/mif_compat.py resolves legacy and new
  spellings identically, preferring the new one. Used by the memory reader,
  relationship writer (legacy entries count as duplicates), custodian
  (decay, validators, link checker, bidirectional check) and
  mnemonic-validate
• [Ontology resolution]: Ontologies load from MIF 1.4.1 locations first
  (project .mif/ontologies/, user ~/.mif/ontologies/, ontology.yaml or
  *.ontology.yaml), falling back to the previous
  .claude/mnemonic/ontology.yaml and ${MNEMONIC_ROOT}/.../ontology.yaml
  locations (section 10.8.5)
• [Vendored ontology schema]: skills/ontology/fallback/schema/ontology/
  re-vendored verbatim from MIF 1.4.1; the previous copy matched no MIF
  release
• [Naming]: "MIF" is the Modeled Information Format (was misnamed
  "Memory Interchange Format" in README, docs, ADR-002)
• [mnemonic-validate]: Warns (does not fail) on legacy keys, legacy
  sourceType values, non-kebab relationship types, relationship label
  outside metadata, unmirrored relationships, wiki-link relationship lines
  and citations without citationType / citationRole; validates
  compressedAt in either spelling
• [Versioning]: pyproject.toml version realigned to the plugin
  release lineage (was 1.6.0, out of step with plugin.json and this
  changelog); both now read 0.7.0
• [MIF 1.4.2 target]: README, docs, the format skill and the vendored
  ontology schema provenance now name MIF 1.4.2 as the target release

Added

• [mnemonic-migrate-mif]: Opt-in tool that upgrades legacy memory files
  to the MIF 1.4.1 forms above. Dry run by default; --apply writes each
  changed file atomically after saving <file>.pre-mif-1.4.1.bak. Never
  renames files, never guesses values (legacy sourceType values, missing
  citationRole), and never overwrites a key whose camelCase twin exists.
  Not run automatically

• [Semantic Search]: QMD integration for vector and hybrid search

  • New skill /mnemonic:qmd-setup for automated setup
  • New skill /mnemonic:qmd-reindex for re-indexing after captures
  • Supports BM25 keyword, vector semantic, and hybrid search modes
  • Auto-discovers memory roots from config
  • Registered collections: org-level, default, and project-level memories
  • See docs/semantic-search.md for details

Planned

• Export/import functionality
• Web UI for memory browsing
