- The two-step memory save process (write file, then update MEMORY.md index) has been simplified — the MEMORY.md index step has been removed, and memory is saved directly to individual files. The number of
MEMORY.mdreferences decreased from 10 to 6 between versions. - Memory retrieval now prefixes content with "Retrieved for possible relevance — use only if it actually applies to what the user asked" to reduce false positive influence.
- Memory selection is now more conservative with user-profile and project-overview memories: the system explicitly avoids matching on surface keyword overlap (e.g., a profile mentioning "DB performance" won't be selected just because a question contains the word "performance").
- Memory extraction now skips runs where no user prose has been added since the last extraction, reducing unnecessary extraction cycles (search for
"[extractMemories] skipping — no user prose since last extraction"). - The extraction prompt now includes "If nothing is worth saving, output only 'Nothing to save.' Do not explain why." for cleaner no-op results.
Evidence
Memory selection system prompt (search for "Be especially conservative with user-profile") and extraction guard (search for "no user prose since last extraction")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
