* 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
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.
* 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.
