Emotion Engine v1.0.0 turns the recent always-mode log governance work into the stable public baseline.
Highlights:
- Adds audit_log and compact_log for long-running agents, with dry-run reporting and normal state backups on apply.
- Reduces low-value always-mode log pressure by keeping routine neutral turns and tiny pre_turn_decay drift out of the main emotion log.
- Preserves important continuity signals during compaction: open loops, repair, boundaries, relationship calibration, concrete feedback, trust/session evidence, vulnerability, and intimacy.
- Exposes audit and compaction through the local MCP runtime tools without expanding MCP into install or repair ownership.
- Clarifies the v1 boundary: Emotion Engine owns compact emotional continuity state and retention policy; host runtimes own factual memory routing and storage.
The state protocol remains emotion-engine-state/v2; v1.0.0 is a stability marker for the current runtime/protocol behavior, not a breaking schema change.
Verification: 89 tests passed with python3 -m unittest discover -s tests.
