0.25.0-alpha.onnx.3 (2026-07-09)

Experimental feature build (third in the memory-embeddings series) — the canary-feedback batch: fixes found by running 0.25.0-alpha.onnx.2 in production. Same gating as before: everything rides Memory.Embeddings.Enabled, off by default; install only by exact pin (NETCLAW_VERSION=0.25.0-alpha.onnx.3). Upgrading from alpha.onnx.2 is a binary swap — no config or data changes; models re-verify from disk without re-downloading.

Bug Fixes

• Relevance-gate cold starts — after idle periods the whole recall pipeline could exceed its 300ms envelope before the cross-encoder gate ever ran (paged-out ONNX sessions + host contention), silently skipping the gate. Fixed with periodic keep-warm inference on both models, an envelope-derived gate sub-budget (120ms ceiling, clamped to remaining turn budget), and per-turn gateElapsedMs observability (#1608)
• netclaw memory command not dispatchable — the command was advertised in help and fully implemented but missing from the CLI parser's known-command set; backfill-embeddings was unusable. Fixed, with a bidirectional sync test deriving ground truth from the dispatch source so the parser/handler/help trio cannot drift again
• netclawd --version booted the daemon — the daemon binary ignored the flag and started a real instance; now prints the version and exits without touching directories or the daemon lock
• Version banners show the full version — --version in both binaries previously printed the truncated numeric version (0.25.0), hiding the prerelease suffix; both now print the full semver
