<Update label="2026-06-12" description="v1.0.13">

**Fixes:**
- **Custom categories payload:** `customCategories` (a `Record<string, string>` map) is now converted via the new `customCategoryMapToList()` helper into the `Array<Record<string, string>>` shape the Mem0 SDK expects on `add` calls — previously the raw object was passed as `custom_categories` and silently ignored ([#5345](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5345))
- **Skip runtime setup during metadata registration:** `register()` now detects `registrationMode === "cli-metadata"`, registers only the CLI commands, and returns early — avoiding backend initialization, service/tool registration, and hook installation during OpenClaw's metadata-only registration pass ([#5383](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5383))

**Security:**
- Bumped `mem0ai` from `3.0.3` to `3.0.7` (latest Node SDK) — includes the transitive axios CVE remediation shipped in `3.0.6` ([#5460](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5460))
- Added pnpm override `uuid@<11.1.1` → `>=11.1.1` to resolve an open MEDIUM Dependabot alert ([#5489](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5489))

**Improvements:**
- **Repo consolidation:** Plugin moved from repo-root `openclaw/` to `integrations/openclaw/`; `package.json` `repository.directory` updated to match so npm provenance links to the correct subdirectory ([#5491](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5491))

**Tests:**
- Added `customCategoryMapToList` unit tests and a `PlatformProvider` test asserting `custom_categories` is passed to the Mem0 SDK as a list ([#5345](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5345))
- Added a regression test asserting `cli-metadata` registration registers only CLI commands and triggers no runtime side effects ([#5383](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5383))

</Update>

<Update label="2026-06-02" description="v1.0.12">

**Docs:**
- **Agent Mode onboarding:** README now documents an autonomous setup path for AI agents — `mem0 init --agent --json` mints an evaluation Mem0 API key with no email, OTP, or browser and exports it as `MEM0_API_KEY` for `openclaw mem0 init`; a human owner can later run `mem0 init --email <email>` to claim ownership without disrupting the agent ([#5123](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5123))

**Security:**
- Added pnpm overrides to remediate advisories in transitive dependencies: `langsmith@<0.6.0` → `^0.6.0`, `picomatch@<2.3.2` → `^2.3.2`, `vite` → `^8.0.5`, and `@qdrant/js-client-rest` → `^1.18.0` ([#5294](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5294))

**Dependencies:**
- Bumped `mem0ai` from `3.0.2` to `3.0.3` ([#5212](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5212))
- Bumped dev dependencies `@vitest/coverage-v8` and `vitest` from `^4.0.18` to `^4.1.7`; added `vite@^8.0.5` and `@qdrant/js-client-rest@^1.18.0` ([#5294](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5294))

</Update>

<Update label="2026-04-29" description="v1.0.11">

**New Features:**
- **Skills-mode auto-setup:** `enableSkillsConfig()` now runs automatically after onboarding — enables triage, recall (with reranking + keyword search), and dream consolidation with `tools.profile = "full"` and disables the built-in session-memory hook to avoid conflicts
- **Memory runtime capability:** Plugin now exposes `runtime.getMemorySearchManager()` and `resolveMemoryBackendConfig()` on the registered memory capability, enabling OpenClaw gateway to query memory status and backend config directly
- **Dimension-aware collections:** OSS wizard detects embedder dimension changes and creates a new collection (`mem0_<dims>d`) automatically, with a warning about old memories being inaccessible under the new embedder
- **Tool documentation in skills:** Both `memory-triage` and `memory-dream` SKILL.md files now include full tool reference sections listing all available tools with parameters

**Improvements:**
- **Auto-capture and auto-recall default to enabled:** `autoCapture` and `autoRecall` now default to `true` (was `false`). Manifest descriptions updated accordingly. Ignored in skills mode
- **`memory_update` over delete+add:** Skills now prefer `memory_update` for in-place edits — atomic and preserves edit history. Consolidation pattern updated: update best memory, delete redundant ones
- **Search threshold lowered:** Default `searchThreshold` reduced from `0.5` to `0.1` for broader recall. Removed hardcoded `0.6` recall-specific override — all searches now use the configured threshold
- **Embedder dimension propagation:** Vector store config auto-resolves dimensions from embedder config when not explicitly set. Syncs `dimension` and `embeddingModelDims` fields for Qdrant/PGVector compatibility
- **Config file write safety:** `writeFullConfig()` now re-reads and deep-merges the `plugins` section before writing, preserving `installs` and `slots` written by the OpenClaw gateway
- **Additional embedder models:** Added `mxbai-embed-large` (1024), `all-minilm` (384), and `snowflake-arctic-embed` (1024) to known embedder dimensions

**Security:**
- Bumped `protobufjs` to `>=7.5.5` via pnpm overrides (GHSA-xq3m-2v4x-88gg) ([#5012](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/5012))

**Fixes:**
- Moved `bootstrapTelemetryFlag()` and removed `ensureInstallRecord()` from module-level side effects — both now run inside `register()` to avoid crashes when loaded outside OpenClaw gateway
- Fixed OSS history DB path resolution: absolute paths no longer passed through `resolvePath()`, preventing double-prefix bugs
- Manifest `providerAuthEnvVars` replaced with spec-compliant `setup.providers` format using `id` + `envVars`

**Dependencies:**
- Bumped `mem0ai` from `3.0.1` to `3.0.2`
- Bumped `pluginApi` and `minGatewayVersion` compat to `>=2026.4.24`

</Update>

<Update label="2026-04-23" description="v1.0.10">

**Security:**
- Telemetry `distinct_id` now uses SHA-256 instead of MD5 — prevents rainbow-table reversal of API key hashes
- User email is now SHA-256 hashed before sending as `distinct_id` — no PII in telemetry payloads
- Declared PostHog telemetry endpoint (`us.i.posthog.com`) in `providerEndpoints`

**Fixes:**
- Fixed version-pinned install records preventing plugin updates. `ensureInstallRecord()` now detects semver-pinned specs (e.g. `@mem0/openclaw-mem0@1.0.7`) and rewrites them to `@latest` or `clawhub:` prefix so `openclaw plugins update` resolves to the newest release
- Fixed `searchThreshold` default inconsistency: standardized to `0.3` across docs, README, and manifest
- `PLUGIN_VERSION` now injected at build time via tsup `define` from `package.json` — no more hardcoded version strings

**Manifest Compliance:**
- Removed non-spec fields: `requiredEnvVars`, `dataLocations`, `privacy`, `setup` (with `externalEndpoints`, `providers`, `requiresRuntime`, `postInstallHint`)
- Replaced `setup.externalEndpoints` with spec-compliant `providerEndpoints` using `endpointClass` + `hosts` format
- Env var declarations now rely solely on `providerAuthEnvVars` (already spec-compliant)

**Docs:**
- Fixed `openclaw plugins update` command: uses plugin ID (`openclaw-mem0`), not npm package name (`@mem0/openclaw-mem0`)
- Added update section to README
- Removed redundant "Key Features" and "Conclusion" sections from integration docs

</Update>

<Update label="2026-04-22" description="v1.0.9">

**Security & Compliance:**
- Added top-level `requiredEnvVars` to plugin manifest, declaring env vars per mode (platform, OSS OpenAI, OSS Anthropic, OSS Ollama). Fixes ClaHub scanner "required env vars: none" mismatch
- Added `sensitive: true` and descriptions to `apiKey` and `userEmail` in `configSchema` — previously only declared in `uiHints`
- Added `default: false` with descriptions to `autoCapture` and `autoRecall` in `configSchema` so scanner can confirm opt-in defaults
- Added `dataLocations` field to manifest declaring all persistence paths (config, vectorStore, historyDb, dreamState)
- Added `privacy` field to manifest documenting data flow for platform vs open-source mode and credential storage guidance
- Added `externalEndpoints` to `setup` section declaring api.mem0.ai and app.mem0.ai with purpose and requirement context

**Tests:**
- Replaced direct `process.env` access in `tests/cli-commands.test.ts` and `tests/fs-safe.test.ts` with `vi.stubEnv`/`vi.unstubAllEnvs`. Fixes ClaHub static analysis flag for "environment variable access combined with network send"
- 421 tests across 15 test files

</Update>

<Update label="2026-04-21" description="v1.0.8">

**New Features:**
- **OSS Onboarding Wizard:** New guided 4-step interactive setup for open-source mode — walks through LLM provider, embedding provider, vector store, and user ID selection with prefilled defaults
- **Agent-Friendly CLI:** Added `--json` flag to all 16 CLI commands for machine-readable output. Agents can call `openclaw mem0 help --json` to discover every command and flag
- **Non-Interactive OSS Setup:** Added `--mode open-source` with `--oss-llm`, `--oss-embedder`, `--oss-vector` flags for fully automated OSS configuration without prompts
- **JSON Helpers Module:** New `cli/json-helpers.ts` with `jsonOut`, `jsonErr`, and `redactSecrets` utilities for consistent structured output

**Improvements:**
- **Init Flow Redesigned:** Replaced 3-option flat menu with 2-level structure: Platform (email login or API key) and Open Source (guided wizard)
- **Provider Selection:** LLM providers: OpenAI, Ollama, Anthropic. Embedding providers: OpenAI, Ollama. Vector stores: Qdrant, PGVector
- **Input Prefill:** All prompts with defaults (base URL, user ID) now prefill the input field instead of showing defaults in brackets
- **Smart Reuse:** When LLM and embedder use the same provider, API key and base URL are automatically reused from the LLM step
- **Default Model:** Updated default LLM model to `gpt-5-mini`
- **Manifest Compliance:** Removed undocumented fields, aligned env var declarations between SKILL.md and manifest, fixed `configSchema.required` for clean installs

**Tests:**
- 404 tests across 15 test files (+3 new: `json-helpers.test.ts`, `oss-wizard.test.ts`, `cli-commands.test.ts`)

</Update>

<Update label="2026-04-20" description="v1.0.7">

**New Features:**
- **Chat-Based Setup:** Added chat-based Platform setup flow — users can now configure the plugin conversationally instead of editing config files manually
- **Installation Docs Rewrite:** Rewrote README and integration docs with chat-first setup, numbered manual steps.

**Improvements:**
- **SDK Upgrade:** Bumped `mem0ai` dependency to 3.0.1 for V3 API compatibility
- **Config Cleanup:** Dropped deprecated `orgId`, `projectId`, `enableGraph` config options; updated CLI prompts ([#4734](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/4734), [#4764](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/4764))
- **Noise Filtering:** Expanded noise patterns in memory add tool; handle leading text in JSON extraction

</Update>

<Update label="2026-04-11" description="v1.0.6">

**Bug Fixes:**
- **Telemetry:** Replaced shared `"anonymous-openclaw"` fallback with a persistent per-machine random hash (`openclaw-anon-<uuid>`), so anonymous plugin users are counted individually in PostHog ([#4790](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/4790))
- **Telemetry:** Added PostHog `$identify` event on first authenticated run to stitch anonymous history onto the authenticated profile ([#4790](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/4790))
- **Telemetry:** Fixed event loss on short-lived CLI invocations — added `beforeExit` handler to flush queued events before the process exits ([#4790](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/4790))
- **Telemetry:** Added lazy `/v1/ping/` email resolution so users who configure API key outside `mem0 init` show as their email in PostHog, not an md5 hash ([#4790](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/4790))
- **Telemetry:** Unified CLI event prefix from `openclaw.<cmd>` to `openclaw.cli.<cmd>` on the needsSetup branch to match the authenticated branch ([#4790](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/4790))

**Improvements:**
- **API:** Added `source: "OPENCLAW"` to all provider calls (`add`, `search`, `getAll`) across tools, CLI commands, recall, and the OSS backend adapter ([#4790](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/4790))

</Update>

<Update label="2026-04-07" description="v1.0.5">

**Bug Fixes:**
- **Init interactive choice bug**: Fixed number selection in `openclaw mem0 init` — entering 1/2/3 now correctly selects the corresponding option (was broken by readline prefill concatenating with user input)
- **OSS pgvector crash** ([#4727](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/issues/4727)): Fixed "Client has already been connected" cascade when using pgvector in OSS mode. The warmup call swallowed errors leaving a half-initialized pg client; concurrent recall/capture then all hit `client.connect()` on the same client. Fix: let warmup errors propagate (so `initPromise` resets and retries with a fresh Memory + fresh pg client) and build fresh config objects per attempt instead of mutating shared state.

**Removed:**
- **`orgId` / `projectId` config parameters**: Removed from config schema, CLI (`config show/get/set`), init display, and providers. The API key is project-scoped, so separate org/project IDs are unnecessary and could cause access errors if mismatched.
- **`enableGraph` config parameter**: Removed from all config surfaces, providers, backend, and tools. Graph memory is being deprecated — removing the flag avoids unnecessary exposure.

</Update>

<Update label="2026-04-04" description="v1.0.4">

**New Features:**
- **Interactive init flow**: `openclaw mem0 init` with interactive menu (email verification or direct API key). Non-interactive modes: `--api-key`, `--email`, `--email --code`
- **`memory_add` tool**: Replaces `memory_store` — name now matches `mem0` CLI and platform API
- **`memory_delete` tool**: Unified delete — single ID, search-then-delete, bulk, entity cascade. Replaces `memory_forget` and `memory_delete_all`
- **CLI subcommands**: `openclaw mem0 init`, `openclaw mem0 status`, `openclaw mem0 config show`, `openclaw mem0 config set`
- **`import` CLI command**: Bulk-import memories from a JSON file with `--user-id` and `--agent-id` overrides
- **`event list` / `event status` CLI commands**: Monitor background processing events
- **`fs-safe.ts` module**: Isolated filesystem wrappers in a separate entry point
- **`backend/` module**: `PlatformBackend` with direct HTTP API access for CLI commands
- **Plugin manifest**: Added `contracts.tools`, `configSchema`, and `uiHints` to `openclaw.plugin.json`
- **Test suite**: 329 tests across 10 test files

**Changes:**
- **Modular architecture**: Extracted tools into `tools/` directory (6 files) and CLI into `cli/commands.ts`
- **Code splitting**: tsup builds with `splitting: true` and two entry points
- **Skills updated**: All SKILL.md files reference new tool names (`memory_add`, `memory_delete`)
- **Auto-recall timeout**: Recall wrapped in 8-second `Promise.race`
- **Auto-capture fire-and-forget**: `provider.add()` runs in background via `.then()/.catch()`
- **Auto-capture minimum content gate**: Skips extraction when total user content is fewer than 50 chars

**Removed:**
- `memory_store` tool — replaced by `memory_add`
- `memory_forget` tool — replaced by `memory_delete`
- `memory_delete_all` tool — merged into `memory_delete`
- `memory_history` tool and `history` CLI command — deprecated

</Update>

<Update label="2026-04-03" description="v1.0.3">

**Bug Fixes:**
- **Security**: Added `safePath()` containment helper to `readSkillFile` and `readDomainOverlay` in `skill-loader.ts` — prevents directory traversal
- **Noise filter**: Reverted incorrect `After-Compaction` regex rename back to `Post-Compaction`

**Changes:**
- **Supply-chain hardening**: Pinned `mem0ai` dependency to exact `2.3.0` (was `^2.3.0`)

**Tests:**
- 12 new tests covering `safePath`, `readSkillFile`, `readDomainOverlay`, and `loadSkill` with traversal inputs

</Update>

<Update label="2026-04-02" description="v1.0.2">

**Bug Fixes:**
- **Security**: Removed `resolveEnvVars()` and `resolveEnvVarsDeep()` from `config.ts` — plugin-side env resolution was redundant and triggered static analysis warnings ([#4676](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/pull/4676))

</Update>

<Update label="2026-04-02" description="v1.0.1">

**New Features:**

- Relaxed extraction instructions: related facts kept together to preserve context

**Bug Fixes:**
- **Concurrent session race condition**: Lifecycle hooks now use `ctx.sessionKey` directly instead of a shared mutable variable

</Update>

<Update label="2026-03-12" description="v0.3.1">

**New Features:**
- **Message filtering pipeline**: Multi-stage noise removal before extraction
- **Broad recall for new sessions**: Short or new-session prompts trigger secondary broad search
