Memory Vault v0.26.0-alpha.3

What changed

• Fixes the cancellation-priority bug reported against v0.26.0-alpha.1: current records now form an explicit deterministic tier before superseded and resolved history, followed by score descending and memory ID ascending.
• Applies the same ordering to Python and independent TypeScript recall, Vault handoff, the six-operation Agent facade, result context and frozen pagination.
• Preserves every historical record, ID, signature, source, text and status. Historical goals remain queryable after current decisions.
• Bounds state-witness traversal before the retrieval byte budget, including large and multi-hop supersession cases.
• Prevents anonymous relay status GETs from filling the control table and accepts equivalent concurrent issuer refreshes without accepting changed membership or node state.
• Adds memory-vault-network-test-v0.26.0-alpha.3.zip: an isolated, no-Docker, all-synthetic endpoint trial. It creates local temporary keys, uses one-time enrollment, sends selected synthetic memory through E2EE, verifies relay storage and recipient persistence separately, recalls the encrypted reply locally, then removes its temporary state.

Operated trial

The release pins a time-bounded operated preview service. A tester needs only the network-test ZIP, Python 3.10–3.14, outbound HTTPS, and a separately supplied one-time code:

python3 run.py --service https://commands-harvard-kingdom-tube.trycloudflare.com --run-code ONE-TIME-CODE

The endpoint does not read an installed Vault, plugin, hook, project, clipboard or user content. Private endpoint keys never leave that endpoint. The relay can see routing, timing, size and network-address metadata but cannot decrypt message bodies.

This preview uses one Cloudflare Quick Tunnel relay operated from a maintainer endpoint. It has no uptime SLA, redundancy or independent failure-domain guarantee. It does not prove traffic anonymity, model understanding, real-model adoption, unlimited capacity or thousand-agent scale.

Exact release evidence

• Release source: d657d8381326693673426e66373d47e80f73be40
• Squash-merged main commit: 3592b96fdf5cd039875525b9e5a43b4756fb8786; its tree matches the tagged source.
• Required GitHub checks passed on Ubuntu/Python 3.10, macOS/Python 3.12 and Windows/Python 3.12.
• Targeted Python relay/HTTP/race/trial/coordinator campaign: 20 passed.
• Python/TypeScript retrieval and native Agent campaign: 15 passed, with one pre-existing documented expected numerical-boundary failure.
• Actual extracted client package passed synthetic local save/recall, exact retry, hook capture and byte-preserving backup/restore verification.
• Actual extracted network-test ZIP completed a public HTTPS round trip: connect, discover, remember, relay stored, recipient validated_saved, encrypted reply, local recall and cleanup.
• Four ZIPs contain 592 declared members. Source and final artifacts were checked against the actual private trial codes, private key material, personal absolute paths and username; zero matches were found.
