0.25.0-alpha.onnx.1 (2026-07-08)

Experimental feature build. This is a named experimental prerelease of the semantic memory-embeddings foundation, gated behind a config flag that is off by default (Memory.Embeddings.Enabled). Without opting in, runtime behavior is identical to 0.25.0-beta.2, which this build fully contains. It is not published to the beta channel — install only by exact pin: NETCLAW_VERSION=0.25.0-alpha.onnx.1. Embeddings live in a new additive table; disabling the flag or downgrading afterward is safe — vectors are derived data and original memory content is never touched.

Memory (Experimental)

• Semantic memory embeddings (opt-in) — In-process ONNX embedding runtime (snowflake-arctic-embed-m, CPU-only, hash-pinned model downloaded at daemon startup), embed-on-write with startup gap repair, a netclaw memory backfill-embeddings [--force] CLI command, and a doctor check for model/coverage status (#1577)
• Semantic dedup: kNN-nominate / LLM-decide with lossless merges — With embeddings enabled, near-duplicate memories are nominated by vector similarity and merged by the curation LLM under a deterministic MergeGuard; guard failures fall back to a lossless structural append (#1585)
• Guard-rejected anchor updates fall through to nomination — instead of being silently dropped (#1587)
