Changelog

All notable changes to the OpenClaw Jarvis-Like Memory System blueprint.

[1.5.0] - 2026-02-19

Added (Community PR #1 by ecomm-michael)

• cron_capture.py - Token-free transcript capture via cron (no LLM calls, saves money)
• Safer Redis→Qdrant flush - Only clears Redis if ALL user turns stored successfully
• Auto-dependency installation - install.sh now auto-installs Docker, Python, Redis if missing
• llm_router.py - Routes to cheap LLMs (Minimax) via OpenRouter with fallback
• metadata_and_compact.py - Auto-generates tags, titles, summaries using cheap LLM
• tagger.py - Content tagging for better organization
• Portable defaults - Changed hardcoded 10.0.0.x IPs to localhost (127.0.0.1) with env overrides
• PEP 668 compliance - Creates Python venv if pip --user blocked

Changed

• cron_backup.py - Better error handling, preserves Redis on Qdrant failure
• hb_append.py - Doesn't store thinking in main buffer (separate mem_thinking key)
• auto_store.py - Uses SHA256 instead of MD5 for content hashing (portable)
• init_kimi_memories.py - Env-driven config with defaults
• task-queue scripts - Removed hardcoded SSH credentials (security cleanup)
• docker-compose.yml - Disabled container healthcheck (qdrant image lacks curl)

Security

• Changed default USER_ID from "rob" to "yourname" in all scripts (privacy)
• Removed hardcoded credentials from task-queue

Contributors

• ecomm-michael - Major contribution: portability, cron capture, safer backups, metadata pipeline
