Release Notes

New Features - Memory files now include the working directory in stored context, improving memory behavior when switching between different project directories. (11591) Bug Fixes - Model resolution now preserves the requested model slug when selecting by prefix, so model references stay stable instead of being rewritten. (11602) - Developer messages are now excluded from phase-1 memory input, reducing noisy or irrelevant content entering memory. (11608) - Memory phase processing concurrency was reduced to make consolidation/staging more stable under load. (11614) Chores - Cleaned and simplified the phase-1 memory pipeline code paths. (11605) - Minor repository maintenance: formatting and test-suite hygiene updates in remote model tests.
