* feat: add @vectorize-io/hindsight-embed daemon lifecycle package
Create a new top-level `hindsight-embed-npm/` package that owns the daemon
lifecycle for the Python `hindsight-embed` CLI: spawning via `uvx`, writing
the profile, waiting for `/health`, and shutting down. Nothing more.
Deliberately does not ship an HTTP client — `@vectorize-io/hindsight-client`
already covers retain / recall / reflect / createBank against the Hindsight
API, and the two packages compose: once `manager.start()` returns, consumers
talk to the daemon via `new HindsightClient({ baseUrl: manager.getBaseUrl() })`.
`HindsightEmbedManagerOptions.env` forwards an arbitrary `Record<string,
string>` to both the daemon process and the profile config via `--env K=V`,
and `extraProfileCreateArgs` / `extraDaemonStartArgs` escape hatches cover
any new CLI flag without waiting for a wrapper release.
Refactor `hindsight-integrations/openclaw` to consume both packages:
`HindsightEmbedManager` for daemon lifecycle in local mode, `HindsightClient`
for all HTTP memory operations. Drop the bespoke subprocess/HTTP client that
used to live in openclaw. The retain queue stays local to openclaw (it's a
client-side reliability workaround with a single consumer today — will move
to the client package or server-side when a second consumer needs it).
Wire the new package into the main release pipeline (versioned alongside
the other core packages, published from `v*` tags) and add a CI build job.
* docs: add Embedded Node.js SDK page for @vectorize-io/hindsight-embed
* refactor: rename hindsight-embed-npm to hindsight-all, restructure docs sidebar
The Node package previously named @vectorize-io/hindsight-embed was
semantically misnamed: hindsight-embed (Python) is a CLI tool, while what
this Node package actually provides is the Node equivalent of hindsight-all
— a programmatic lifecycle manager for a local Hindsight daemon. Rename to
match.
Package rename
- hindsight-embed-npm/ → hindsight-all-npm/ (git mv, history preserved)
- @vectorize-io/hindsight-embed → @vectorize-io/hindsight-all
- class HindsightEmbedManager → HindsightServer (matches Python hindsight-all)
- HindsightEmbedManagerOptions → HindsightServerOptions
- src/manager.ts → src/server.ts, src/manager.test.ts → src/server.test.ts
- openclaw (index.ts, backfill.ts, tests) and the claude-code Python port
updated to reference the new names
Docs restructure
- Split sdks/python.md: now client-only content. New sdks/hindsight-all.md
covers the programmatic hindsight-all Python package (HindsightServer and
HindsightEmbedded).
- Rename sdks/embed-npm.md → sdks/hindsight-all-npm.md with HindsightServer
examples.
- New "Installation" sidebar section, placed after Hosting, containing
Docker / Kubernetes / Bare Metal (anchor links into developer/installation)
plus Programmatic API (Python), Programmatic API (Node.js), and Daemon CLI.
- Add si-docker, si-kubernetes, si-nodedotjs, lu-hard-drive to the sidebar
ICON_MAP.
Docs dev-server fix
- docusaurus.config.ts: drop the flaky NODE_ENV sniff for including the
"Next" version. Use INCLUDE_CURRENT_VERSION exclusively. NODE_ENV was
unreliable across hot-reload paths and caused the Next version to
disappear intermittently when editing files.
- scripts/dev/start-docs.sh: export INCLUDE_CURRENT_VERSION=true so local
dev always shows Next; production builds leave it unset.
Lockfile cleanup
- package-lock.json and hindsight-integrations/openclaw/package-lock.json
had extraneous hindsight-embed-npm blocks left over from the rename.
Removed manually and verified with npm install.
* ci: fix openclaw jobs by pre-building workspace deps; regenerate docs-skill
The build-openclaw-integration and test-openclaw-integration jobs failed
with "Failed to resolve entry for package @vectorize-io/hindsight-all"
because openclaw depends on two monorepo workspaces via `file:` deps
(@vectorize-io/hindsight-client and @vectorize-io/hindsight-all) whose
`dist/` directories are gitignored and never built before openclaw's npm ci.
Both jobs now install the root workspace and build the two deps first,
mirroring the release-control-plane pattern.
Also regenerate skills/hindsight-docs/references/* via
./scripts/generate-docs-skill.sh:
- new skill pages for sdks/hindsight-all{.md,-npm.md}
- updated skill pages for sdks/embed.md and sdks/python.md to match
the new H1s and split content
- incidental refreshes to changelog/index.md, developer/models.md,
openapi.json, and uv.lock that verify-generated-files picked up
* ci: build openclaw before running tests so symlink test can realpath dist
* docs(claude-code): tidy configuration reference and sync README
Add missing settings (retainMode, retainToolCalls, retainTags,
retainMetadata, embedPackagePath, llmApiKeyEnv, agentName, and
several recall options) that existed in code but not in docs.
Restructure config tables with prose introductions, clearer
descriptions, and consistent layout across both files.
* refactor(claude-code): remove recallTopK setting
Unused client-side cap — Hindsight server already controls result
count via recallBudget and recallMaxTokens.
When retainToolCalls is enabled (new default), the retention transcript
is output as JSON with full message structure including tool_use blocks
(Edit, Read, Bash, Grep, etc.) and their complete input dicts, plus
tool_result blocks (truncated at 2k chars). This preserves the context
of what actions the assistant actually took, not just its narration.
Hindsight MCP tools (recall/retain/reflect) are excluded to prevent
feedback loops. Channel message tools still get their text extracted
inline. Setting retainToolCalls=false falls back to the legacy text
format.
* feat(claude-code): full-session retain mode with document upsert and configurable tags
Switch default retain behavior from per-turn chunks to full-session upsert.
Each session is now retained as a single document (document_id = session_id)
that gets updated on every Stop event, instead of creating fragmented
documents with timestamp-suffixed IDs.
New config options:
- retainMode: "full-session" (default) or "chunked" (legacy)
- retainTags: list with template variable support ({session_id}, {bank_id}, {timestamp})
- retainMetadata: extra metadata dict merged with built-in fields, supports templates
* fix(claude-code): respect retainEveryNTurns in full-session mode
The turn-count gating was only applied in chunked mode, meaning
full-session mode would re-ingest the entire transcript on every
single Stop event. Now retainEveryNTurns gates both modes.
Also fix test isolation: resolve ~/.hindsight/claude-code.json at
call time (not module load) so HOME override in tests works correctly.
* fix(claude-code): fix config tests after USER_CONFIG_PATH removal
Update tests to use HOME env var override instead of monkeypatching
the removed USER_CONFIG_PATH constant. Add autouse fixture to
TestLoadConfig to isolate all config tests from real user config
and HINDSIGHT_* env vars.
fcntl is a Unix-only module — importing it unconditionally causes an
ImportError on Windows, breaking the entire plugin. Guard the import with a
sys.platform check and fall back to a no-op lock path in
increment_turn_count() so Windows users get correct behaviour without
crashing.
Claude Code's plugin installer does not merge hooks.json into settings.json
automatically. This adds a setup script and skill that users can run once
after installing the plugin to register the hooks manually.
* feat(openclaw): remove hardcoded default models, rely on Hindsight API defaults
* feat(claude-code): remove hardcoded default models, rely on Hindsight API defaults
* feat(claude-code,docs): remove hardcoded default models from claude-code integration and docs
* feat: use claude-haiku-4-5 as default Anthropic model
Daemon cold start takes ~25s but hooks have short timeouts, causing
retain to time out on first use. Fix by firing daemon startup as a
detached background process in SessionStart so it warms up before the
first recall/retain hook fires.
Also bumps the daemon start timeout in _ensure_daemon_running from 10s
to 30s as a fallback for when retain fires before pre-start completes.
* fix(claude-code): fix plugin installation and release workflow
- Fix plugin.json author field (string → object) to pass claude plugin validate
- Add hindsight-integrations/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json so users can install
via: claude plugin marketplace add vectorize-io/hindsight --sparse hindsight-integrations
- Update README and install.sh with correct two-command install flow
- Fix release-integration.yml: add explicit package.json check for typescript type
and add plugin type for integrations with neither pyproject.toml nor package.json
(prevents claude-code from incorrectly falling into the typescript build path)
- Add CHANGELOG.md for the claude-code integration
* remove install.sh — users install via claude plugin commands directly
* test(claude-code): add 116 unit tests for plugin hooks and lib modules
* feat(claude-code): user settings.json at CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA for stable config
Plugin now checks CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA/settings.json after the versioned
plugin default, giving users a path that persists across updates:
~/.claude/plugins/data/hindsight-memory-hindsight/settings.json
Loading order: defaults → plugin settings.json → user settings.json → env vars
* fix(claude-code): use ~/.hindsight/claude-code.json for user config
Matches the ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json convention. Removes the confusing
CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA path whose name depends on marketplace+plugin identifiers.
* docs(claude-code): add ToS hint for claude-code LLM provider option
* fix(claude-code): set author to Hindsight Team in plugin.json
* ci: add test-claude-code-integration job to run plugin unit tests
* feat: Add Claude Code integration plugin
Complete port of hindsight-openclaw (v0.4.19) adapted to Claude Code's
hook-based plugin architecture. Pure Python stdlib, no external dependencies.
- Auto-recall via UserPromptSubmit hook (additionalContext injection)
- Auto-retain via async Stop hook (chunked retention with sliding window)
- Daemon management (auto-start/stop hindsight-embed via uvx)
- Dynamic bank IDs with per-agent/project/channel/user granularity
- All 34 configuration options with env var overrides
- File-based state persistence with fcntl locking
- Graceful degradation on all error paths
Works with Claude Code Channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack) and
interactive sessions.

* fix: Set correct chunked retention defaults (10/2, not 1/0)
retainEveryNTurns=10 and retainOverlapTurns=2 are the production-tested
values — every 10 turns, retain a 12-turn sliding window. The previous
defaults (1/0) would retain every single turn with no overlap, defeating
the chunked retention design that prevents API bombardment.

* fix: Align recallBudget and daemonIdleTimeout with Openclaw defaults
recallBudget: "low" → "mid" (Openclaw default)
daemonIdleTimeout: 300 → 0 (Openclaw default, never auto-stop)
As an official Hindsight integration, defaults should match Openclaw.
Users can optimize locally via settings.json or env vars.
