0.25.0-alpha.onnx.4 (2026-07-09)

Experimental feature build (fourth in the memory-embeddings series). Same gating: everything rides Memory.Embeddings.Enabled, off by default; install only by exact pin (NETCLAW_VERSION=0.25.0-alpha.onnx.4). Upgrade note: the systemd unit template changed — after installing, re-run netclaw daemon install to regenerate the unit and pick up the new graceful-shutdown settings.

Features

• Operational alert on model provisioning failure — if either ONNX model (embedder or relevance reranker) cannot be downloaded, verified, or loaded while embeddings are enabled, the daemon now pushes an operational alert to configured notification targets (same channel as reminder-failure alerts) with the failure reason and remediation, once per model per daemon run — semantic-memory degradation is no longer discoverable only via doctor/logs (#1611)

Bug Fixes

• Embedder failure no longer blocks the relevance model — a provisioning failure in the embedding model made the reranker's provisioning unreachable, silently disabling the relevance gate alongside it (#1611)
• Graceful daemon shutdown — netclaw daemon stop self-escalated to SIGKILL after 10s while the daemon's own shutdown budget allows 200s to drain in-flight turns; one GracefulShutdownBudget now governs the Akka shutdown phase, host shutdown timeout, CLI wait, and the generated unit's TimeoutStopSec (#1612)
• --help no longer executes commands — netclaw memory backfill-embeddings --help ran a real backfill; worse, netclaw daemon stop --help actually stopped the daemon. Trailing help tokens are now handled uniformly across memory, daemon, webhooks, and reminder subcommands (#1612)
