Metadata only. No runtime code changedpackages/*/src is byte-identical to 0.4.1.
@zensation/mcp and @zensation/ai-sdk move 0.1.1 → 0.1.2; the other four are untouched.

Changed — the npm descriptions of the two integration packages

npm's search ranks on the words in a package's description, and it weighs that far above
download counts. For the query vercel ai sdk memory, @turbomem/vercel-ai (142 downloads a
month) ranks first and ai (90,669,436 downloads a month) second. Of the fifteen top results
for mcp memory, three carry no keywords at all; what all fifteen have in common is those two
words standing next to each other in a name or a description.

Neither of these packages had that. @zensation/mcp said "gives any MCP client a 7-layer
memory"
and @zensation/ai-sdk said "recall relevant memories before a model call" — both
accurate, and neither in the top 250 for any phrase someone looking for this would actually
type, while @mem0/vercel-ai-provider, the direct counterpart to @zensation/ai-sdk, sits at
39. The new descriptions put the phrases together and claim nothing new:

  • @zensation/mcp — "MCP memory server for ZenBrain: agent memory for any Model Context Protocol client — store, recall, consolidate, health. Local SQLite file, no account."
  • @zensation/ai-sdk — "Vercel AI SDK memory middleware: agent memory that recalls before a model call and stores the turn after it. Zero runtime dependencies."

Whether this moves anything is an open question, and it is measured the same way it was found:
the same queries, re-run, with 7-layer memory@zensation/core at rank 1 as the control
that the instrument still works.

Fixed — documentation that had drifted from what is published

  • The old @zensation/mcp description named a tool inspect. There is no such tool. The four
    are zenbrain_store, zenbrain_recall, zenbrain_consolidate and zenbrain_health.
  • The package table in the README listed @zensation/mcp and @zensation/ai-sdk as
    :construction: Unreleased. Both have been on npm with provenance attestations since
    2026-08-28.
  • Both package READMEs opened with "Status: 0.1.0, early release" while 0.1.1 was the
    published version. The version number is out of the sentence — the status was the point, and
    a pinned number there only ages.
  • @zensation/ai-sdk did not appear in this changelog at all. It is Vercel AI SDK middleware:
    it recalls before the model call and stores the turn after it, carries zero runtime
    dependencies, and its twelve tests assert on doGenerateCalls[0].prompt — what reached the
    model — rather than on what the middleware returned.
