chore(release): prepare v1.5.2

Implement OQ-2 decision: allow at most one reinforcement per memory
identity per UTC calendar day. Same-day reinforcement is blocked
regardless of session or interval. This prevents repetitive-task
gaming where a daily recurring task could reach MAX_COUNT=6 in hours.

Guard order: same-session → calendar-day → 1-hour → max-count
(existing guards kept as defense-in-depth)

1 hour guard is redundant within same day but preserved for
sub-hour edge cases.

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [1.5.1] - 2026-04-30
+
+### Added
+
+- Per-workspace evidence log for extraction, promotion, reinforcement, render, storage, and hook lifecycle events.
+- `memory-diag health --json` for machine-readable diagnostics.
+- `memory-diag explain` for per-memory render status, strength, reasons, and evidence event IDs.
+- `memory-diag trace --memory <id>` for memory lifecycle history.
+- UTC calendar-day reinforcement gate so repeated matches cannot inflate a memory multiple times in the same day.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Retention constants and calculations moved to `src/retention.ts`.
+- `safetyCritical` is now fully inert: no retention multiplier and no type-cap bypass, while remaining JSON-compatible.
+
+## [1.5.0] - 2026-04-29
+
+### Added
+
+- Strength-based workspace memory retention using exponential decay instead of additive priority scoring.
+- Per-type rendered caps for workspace memory candidates: feedback 10, decision 10, project 8, and reference 6.
+- Dormant-workspace effective age: after 14 days without activity, additional dormant time counts at 0.25x for retention decay.
+- Reinforcement tracking for repeated memories, with same-session and one-hour guards to prevent accidental reinforcement spam.
+- Memory health diagnostics for stored vs rendered counts, type caps, global cap overflow, dormancy, retention monitoring, and strength-ranked top/weakest entries.
+- CLI smoke tests and regression fixtures covering retention decay, stale-prune removal, type caps, reinforcement, invalid timestamps, and diagnostics.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Workspace memory rendering now ranks entries by retention strength, not the previous priority/penalty model.
+- Confidence is retained for compatibility but no longer affects retention scoring.
+- Deprecated `safetyCritical` is retained for JSON compatibility but no longer affects retention strength or type-cap behavior.
+- Old or stale-marked memories are no longer hard-pruned; they remain stored and only fall out of rendered context through strength and cap competition.
+- Existing duplicate promotion and dedupe paths now reinforce the surviving memory instead of only absorbing the duplicate.
+- Health output now separates stored active memories from rendered candidates to make cap behavior easier to understand.
+- Default prompt budgets are lower after calibration against observed rendered output: workspace memory is 3600 characters and hot session state is 700 characters.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Invalid `updatedAt` or `retentionClock` values no longer produce `NaN` retention strength or unstable sorting.
+- Dormant age calculation only discounts the dormant overlap since an entry was created, so new memories do not inherit old workspace dormancy.
+- Type max totals above the global cap are handled correctly: the global rendered limit still wins.
+
+### Not Included Yet
+
+- Delete tombstones and explicit `supersedes` chain enforcement remain deferred follow-up work.
+- Hot/warm/cold tiered storage remains a future v1.6 direction.
+
+## [1.4.0] - 2026-04-28
+
+### Added
+
+- Local migration audit log for the `2026-04-28-quality-cleanup` migration:
+  `~/.local/share/opencode-working-memory/migration-logs/2026-04-28-quality-cleanup.jsonl`.
+- Local extraction rejection log for rejected compaction memory candidates:
+  `~/.local/share/opencode-working-memory/extraction-rejections.jsonl`.
+- Sanitized real-workspace regression fixtures for memory cleanup migration behavior.
+- Safe workspace residue cleanup tooling that dry-runs by default and quarantines definite temp/test workspace stores instead of deleting them.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Unified memory quality rules in a shared quality gate for compaction memory candidates and cleanup checks.
+- Rewritten compaction memory prompt to reduce over-production of low-quality memories.
+- Changed quality cleanup migration to be conservative: it supersedes only high-confidence garbage patterns, including progress snapshots, raw errors, commit/CI snapshots, temporary status notes, active file snapshots, code/API signatures, path-heavy entries, and empty entries.
+- Soft heuristic failures (`bad_feedback`, `bad_decision`) are intentionally excluded from automatic migration cleanup to protect durable declarative memories such as branding rules, API facts, release rules, user workflow preferences, and architecture decisions.
+- Isolated test runs under a temporary `XDG_DATA_HOME` so test workspaces no longer pollute real local workspace memory data.
+
+### Recovery note
+
+The cleanup migration changes matching entries to `status: "superseded"`; it does not delete the entry. If a useful memory is superseded, inspect the migration audit log and restore by changing that entry back to `status: "active"` in the workspace's `workspace-memory.json`. The migration runs once per workspace.
+
+## [1.3.3] - 2026-04-28
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Added atomic cross-process storage writes with stale-lock recovery and heartbeat refresh to prevent concurrent memory-file corruption.
+- Scoped pending-memory promotion by owner/session so global unowned cleanup no longer removes active owned entries.
+- Retained source-aware pending memories until they are actually promoted, absorbed, superseded, or rejected.
+- Persisted load-time security redaction and expanded Bearer-token redaction to reduce secret retention risk.
+- Hardened workspace normalization, cache bounds, rejected-entry retention, and session cleanup behavior.
+
+## [1.3.2] - 2026-04-27
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Compatibility CI now installs dependencies with `npm install` so it works in this no-lockfile repository.
+- Compatibility CI now runs on Node 24, matching the test command's `--experimental-strip-types` requirement.
+
+## [1.3.1] - 2026-04-27
+
+### Added
+
+- Pending journal retention: max 50 entries, 30-day TTL, automatic pruning on save.
+- Plugin capability test to catch missing OpenCode hooks before release.
+- CI workflow for weekly OpenCode plugin API compatibility testing.
+- Indirect prompt-injection filtering for workspace memory candidates.
+- Expanded credential redaction for common API key, token, secret, credential, auth, and private-key labels.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Pending memory journal entries are now bounded and pruned instead of growing indefinitely.
+- Adversarial memory candidates that try to override system instructions are rejected before storage.
+- Broader credential-like labels are redacted from workspace memory text.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Memory dedupe is now repo-agnostic: project/reference entries use exact canonical text plus generic URL/path identity, while decision/feedback entries no longer use repository-specific topic heuristics.
+- OpenCode plugin compatibility is documented and declared as `>=1.2.0 <2.0.0`.
+- README limitations now concisely document compatibility, secret handling, semantic-memory scope, plugin ordering, and multi-process write boundaries.
+
+### Known Limitations
+
+- Compatibility is tested against OpenCode plugin API `>=1.2.0 <2.0.0`.
+- Credential redaction is best-effort; do not store secrets.
+- This is working memory, not semantic search.
+- Other prompt or compaction plugins may conflict depending on plugin order.
+- Multi-process writes to the same workspace are not fully serialized.
+
+## [1.3.0] - 2026-04-27
+
+### Added
+
+- P0 consolidation accounting for workspace memory promotion.
+- Accounting-aware deduplication (`dedupeLongTermEntriesWithAccounting`).
+- Accounting-aware normalization (`normalizeWorkspaceMemoryWithAccounting`).
+- Promotion classification: promoted, absorbed, superseded, rejected.
+- Remove absorbed/superseded keys from rejected set to avoid duplicate rejection tracking.
+- Memory quality evaluation fixtures covering accepted durable facts and rejected noisy facts.
+- Sharper compaction memory extraction prompt with concrete good/bad memory examples.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Promotion accounting now clears only pending memories that survive workspace normalization/cap limits.
+- `session.deleted` now uses shared session ID extraction, matching `session.compacted` behavior.
+- Absorbed duplicate pending memories are accounted for instead of retrying forever.
+- Active vs superseded boundary when promoting pending memories (superseded entries no longer block promotion of same-key active memories).
+- Removed unused `rejected_duplicate_lower_quality` type.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Deferred pending journal safety cap implementation (see TODO in `src/pending-journal.ts`).
+- Clarified superseded accounting semantics: P0 emits events only, does not archive newly superseded records.
+- README structure was streamlined around the automatic memory flow and ongoing memory-quality work.
+- Architecture docs now describe `Memory candidates:` as the primary extraction format and XML candidate blocks as legacy.
+- Superpowers implementation plans are no longer tracked in git.
+
+## [1.2.3] - 2026-04-26
+
+### Added
+
+- Frozen workspace memory snapshot in `system[1]` for better OpenCode prompt-cache stability.
+- Ephemeral hot session state and pending memories in later system messages.
+- Durable pending journal so explicit memories survive until promotion.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Explicit memories no longer mutate the frozen workspace snapshot mid-session.
+- Pending memories are promoted at safe cache-epoch boundaries.
+
+## [1.2.0] - 2026-04-25
+
+### Added
+
+- Memory V2 three-layer architecture.
+- Workspace memory for durable cross-session decisions, preferences, project facts, and references.
+- Hot session state for active files, open errors, and recent context.
+- Hook-based memory extraction during OpenCode compaction.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Removed manual memory tools in favor of automatic prompt injection.
+- Moved storage to `~/.local/share/opencode-working-memory/`.
+
+## [1.1.0] - 2026-04-24
+
+### Changed
+
+- Improved pre-V2 memory documentation and installation flow.
+
+## [1.0.0] - 2026-04-23
+
+### Added
+
+- Initial release with three-layer memory architecture.
+- Initial OpenCode memory integration.
+- Basic memory extraction and prompt injection.

 [![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/opencode-working-memory.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/opencode-working-memory)

-**Automatic memory system that keeps your AI agent context-aware across compactions.**
+Automatic memory for OpenCode agents.
 
-Stop losing context when OpenCode compacts your conversation. This plugin automatically tracks what matters — decisions, active files, open errors — and preserves it across sessions.
+Working memory is context that **remembers what matters, fades what changes, and stays out of the way.**
 
-## What You Get
+OpenCode Working Memory preserves project decisions, preferences, and references across compactions and sessions, while keeping active files and unresolved errors fresh for the current session — with no manual tools or extra LLM/API calls.
 
-**Three-layer memory, zero extra API calls:**
+## Why This Exists
 
-| Layer | Scope | What It Tracks | Persists? |
-|-------|-------|----------------|-----------|
-| **Workspace Memory** | Cross-session | Decisions, project info, references | ✅ Yes |
-| **Hot Session State** | Per-session | Active files, open errors | ❌ Resets |
-| **Native OpenCode** | Per-session | Todos | ✅ Built-in |
+OpenCode compaction keeps conversations manageable, but important context can still get lost over time.
 
-**Key benefits:**
-- 🧠 **Remembers across sessions** — Workspace memory survives restarts
-- 🔌 **No extra API calls** — Piggybacks on existing compaction
-- 📡 **Zero configuration** — Works out of the box
-- 🔧 **Zero tools** — No manual memory management needed
+It adds a workspace-aware memory layer so your agent can remember durable facts while keeping short-term session state fresh and lightweight.
+
+Use it when you want your agent to remember things like:
+
+- Project conventions
+- User preferences
+- Architecture decisions
+- Important file paths or references
+- Current active files and unresolved errors
+
+## Features
+
+- **Workspace memory** — durable project facts, preferences, decisions, and references across sessions.
+- **Hot session state** — active files, open errors, and current working context for the current session.
+- **Explicit memory triggers** — users can say “remember this”, “記住”, “覚えて”, or “기억해” to save durable facts.
+- **Compaction-based extraction** — memory extraction piggybacks on OpenCode’s existing compaction flow.
+- **No manual tools** — memory is injected automatically into the system prompt.
+- **Quality guards** — filters noisy memories, temporary progress snapshots, stack traces, raw errors, and credentials.
+- **Retention decay** — keeps the strongest memories in prompt context while older or weaker memories fade out naturally; important and reinforced memories decay more slowly.

+**Cache-friendly layout:** durable workspace memory is rendered as a stable frozen snapshot for the session, while fast-changing hot session state is appended separately. Compaction starts a new cache epoch, refreshing the workspace snapshot after pending memories are promoted.
+
+The runtime context has three layers:
+
+| Layer | Purpose | Lifetime |
+|---|---|---|
+| Workspace Memory | Durable decisions, preferences, project facts, references | Cross-session |
+| Hot Session State | Active files, open errors, recent context | Current session |
+| Native OpenCode State | Todos and built-in state | OpenCode-managed |
+
+## Workspace Memory
+
+Workspace memory is for durable information that should help future sessions.
+
+Examples:
+
+```md
+- [decision] Use npm cache for plugin loading, not npm link.
+- [project] This repo uses TypeScript and Node.js test runner.
+- [feedback] User prefers concise implementation summaries.
+- [reference] Storage lives under ~/.local/share/opencode-working-memory/.
 ```
 
-### Workspace Memory (Long-term)
+Memory types:
 
-Persists across sessions within the same workspace. Automatically extracted during compaction when the agent marks something with "remember" or "note":
+- `feedback` — user preferences or recurring feedback

-**Memory types:**
-- `feedback` - User preferences for this workspace
-- `project` - Project-level information
-- `decision` - Important decisions made
-- `reference` - Key references (paths, patterns)
+## Explicit Memory Triggers
 
-**Sources:**
-- `explicit` - User explicitly said "remember this" (confidence: 1.0)
-- `compaction` - Extracted during compaction (confidence: 0.75)
-- `manual` - Added programmatically (confidence: varies)
+You can explicitly ask the agent to remember durable facts.
 
-### Hot Session State (Short-term)
+Examples:
 
-Automatically tracks current session context:
-
-- **Active Files**: What files you're working on (ranked by recency and action type)
-- **Open Errors**: Errors that haven't been fixed yet (typecheck, test failures, etc.)
-- **Recent Decisions**: Decisions made this session (candidates for long-term promotion)
-

 ```
 
-## Quality Guarantees
+Supported trigger languages include:
 
-The plugin includes several quality guards:
+| Language | Examples |
+|---|---|
+| English | `remember this`, `save to memory`, `from now on`, `my preference` |
+| Chinese | `記住`, `记住`, `記得`, `请帮我记住` |
+| Japanese | `覚えて`, `覚えておいて`, `メモして` |
+| Korean | `기억해`, `기억해줘`, `메모해줘` |
 
-- **No false positive errors**: Bash commands like `git log` or `cat` with "error" in output are not misidentified
-- **Negative memory filtering**: "Don't remember this" is correctly interpreted
-- **Compaction quality gate**: Rejects git hashes, stack traces, path-heavy facts from becoming long-term memories
-- **Canonical deduplication**: Memories are deduplicated with case/punctuation normalization
+Negative requests are respected too:
 
-## No Tools Required
+```md
+Don't remember this.
+不要記住這個。
+覚えないで。
+기억하지 마.
+```
 
-Unlike other memory plugins, **this plugin has no manual tools**. Everything is automatic:
+Avoid saving:
 
-- No `core_memory_update` — memory is extracted automatically
-- No `core_memory_read` — memory is injected into system prompt
-- No `working_memory_add` — active files are tracked automatically
+- Secrets, passwords, tokens, or credentials
+- Temporary progress updates
+- Raw command output
+- Short-lived session details
 
-Just install and let it run. The plugin hooks into OpenCode's lifecycle events and does the right thing.
+## Quality Guards
+
+OpenCode Working Memory tries to keep memory useful and low-noise.
+
+It includes guards for:
+
+- Credential redaction
+- Duplicate memory cleanup
+- Accounting for promoted, absorbed, superseded, and rejected memories
+- Strength-based retention so useful memories stay visible without hard age pruning
+- Filtering stack traces, git hashes, raw errors, and noisy path-heavy facts
+- Rejecting temporary project progress snapshots
+
+The goal is to remember durable facts, not every detail.
+
+**Good memory is selective memory.**
+
+Historical cleanup is intentionally conservative: extraction-time filtering may reject more aggressively, but one-time migration cleanup only supersedes high-confidence garbage patterns. This protects existing durable memories written in declarative style, such as "API endpoint is X" or "Product branding is Y".
+
+For local development cleanup, use:
+
+```bash
+npm run cleanup:workspaces -- --dry-run
+npm run cleanup:workspaces -- --quarantine
+```
+
+The cleanup command only quarantines definite temp/test workspace residues by default. It does not delete unknown missing-root workspaces.
+
+### Local Inspection CLI
+
+Maintainers can run read-only inspection surfaces without telemetry or mutation. Human output redacts absolute paths and credentials by default; pass `--raw` only when you intentionally need local paths.
+
+```bash
+bun scripts/memory-diag.ts quality --workspace /path/to/repo
+bun scripts/memory-diag.ts coverage --workspace /path/to/repo --include-historical
+bun scripts/memory-diag.ts disappearances --workspace /path/to/repo --explain
+bun scripts/memory-diag.ts rejections --quality --reason bad_decision --unique
+```
+
+- `quality` summarizes store caps, retention clocks, evidence coverage, disappearances, and rejection scoping.
+- `coverage` classifies per-memory evidence lifecycle coverage, optionally including historical evidence-only memory IDs.
+- `disappearances --explain` reports evidence memory IDs absent from the current store with terminal capacity, promotion, supersession, or render-omission context when available.
+- `rejections --quality` groups rejection records by scope, reason distribution, and heuristic possible false-positive buckets.
 
 ## Configuration
 
-The plugin works out of the box with sensible defaults:
+OpenCode Working Memory works out of the box.
 
-- **Workspace Memory**: 5200 chars, 28 entries max
-- **Hot State**: 1200 chars rendered, 8 active files, 3 errors shown

-When using this plugin, the memory context appears in your system prompt. You can:
+## Roadmap
 
-1. **Tell users about memories**: "I remember you decided to use npm cache for plugins"
-2. **Ask about preferences**: "Should I add this to my memory for this workspace?"
-3. **Note important decisions**: These will be extracted during compaction
+Current focus:
 
-To add something to long-term memory explicitly:
-```
-Remember this: [your note here]
-```
-
-The plugin captures this during compaction.
+- Add explicit delete tombstones so removed memories do not get re-extracted.
+- Enforce explicit `supersedes` chains for safer replacement of obsolete memories.
+- Explore tiered hot/warm/cold storage after the retention model has more real-world data.

 # Release Notes
 
+## 1.5.1 (2026-04-30)
+
+### Evidence Loop and Explainability
+
+This release adds an evidence-based audit trail for memory lifecycle events and user-facing diagnostics for understanding why memories are rendered, promoted, or rejected.
+
+> **Evidence before sublimation.** Every memory decision can be traced.
+
+### What Changed
+
+- **Evidence log**: extraction, promotion, reinforcement, render, and storage events are now recorded in a per-workspace `events.jsonl` with 90-day retention and 5000-event cap.
+- **User explainability**: `memory-diag explain` shows per-memory render status with strength, reasons, and evidence. `memory-diag trace --memory <id>` shows the full lifecycle history.
+- **Machine-readable diagnostics**: `memory-diag health --json` outputs structured `MemoryDiagJSON` for scripting.
+- **Calendar-day reinforcement gate**: reinforcement now requires distinct UTC calendar days, preventing repetitive-task gaming that could inflate a memory's strength within a single day.
+- **SafetyCritical deprecation complete**: the `safetyCritical` field no longer affects retention strength or type-cap bypass. All memories fade by the same rules.
+- **Retention module extraction**: retention constants and calculations moved to `src/retention.ts` for cleaner separation.
+
+### Privacy
+
+- Evidence text previews are credential-redacted. Memory content is stored as truncated hashes, never in full.
+- Diagnostics default to redacted output. `--raw` is available for maintainers.
+
+### Upgrade Notes
+
+- No configuration changes required.
+- Existing workspace memory files remain compatible.
+- Evidence logs are created automatically; no migration needed.
+
+### Validation
+
+- `npm run typecheck`
+- `npm test` — 271 tests passing
+
+---
+
+## 1.5.0 (2026-04-29)
+
+### Retention Decay Model
+
+This release changes workspace memory retention from hard stale pruning and additive priority scoring to a strength-based decay model.
+
+Think of it like a forgetting curve: memories fade over time, but important and reinforced memories decay slower. Weak entries fall out of rendered prompt context by cap competition, not hard deletion.
+
+> **Memory should fade, so the agent can keep learning.**
+> Important memories decay slower, but every memory must leave room for newer project reality and avoid long-term memory pollution.
+
+```text
+  strength
+    │
+ ██ │╲____   reinforced: slower decline
+    │     ╲______
+ ▒▒ │            ╲__ ordinary memory
+    │               ╲
+    ├ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─╲─ dynamic cap competition zone
+ ░░ │                 ╲  easier for new memories to replace
+    │                  ↑ still stored, not deleted
+    └──────────────────────────────→ time / sessions
+```
+
+### What Changed
+
+- **Strength-based retention**: workspace memory now uses exponential decay: initial strength × age decay.
+- **Better initial strength**: type, source, and user importance now determine how strong a memory starts.
+- **No confidence scoring**: confidence remains in stored data for compatibility, but it no longer affects retention ranking.
+- **Type caps**: rendered workspace memory now caps feedback, decisions, project facts, and references separately so one type cannot monopolize all 28 slots.
+- **Deprecation:** `safetyCritical` field no longer affects retention strength or type-cap bypass. All system memories now fade according to the same rules. Safety rules belong in user-controlled `agent.md` files, not in system memory.
+- **Dormant-aware age**: after 14 inactive days, additional dormant workspace time counts at 0.25x so paused projects do not forget too aggressively.
+- **Reinforcement**: repeated matching memories reinforce the survivor and slow future decay, with same-session and one-hour guards to avoid accidental spam.
+- **No hard stale pruning**: old or stale-marked memories are no longer automatically dropped by age; they lose rendered space only through cap competition.
+- **Calibrated prompt budgets**: observed rendered output was typically under ~2000 characters for workspace memory and ~500 characters for hot session state, so defaults were reduced to 3600 and 700 characters to keep overhead lower while retaining buffer.
+- **Clearer health output**: `memory-diag health` now reports stored vs rendered counts, type caps, global cap overflow, dormancy, retention monitoring, and strength-ranked top/weakest entries.
+
+### Why This Helps
+
+- User preferences and explicit memories are less likely to disappear just because inferred project facts are newer.
+- Feedback, decisions, project facts, and references share prompt space more fairly.
+- Returning to an old workspace is less punishing because dormant time decays more slowly.
+- Maintainers can see why memories are rendered or capped instead of guessing from a single active-memory count.
+- Stale entries can fade out of prompt context without destructive cleanup.
+
+### Diagnostics
+
+Maintainers can inspect retention behavior with:
+
+```bash
+bun scripts/memory-diag.ts health
+```
+
+The health output now includes sections like:
+
+```txt
+Stored active memories: 28
+Rendered candidates: 20
+
+By type:
+  feedback  stored=17  rendered=10  typeCap=10
+  decision  stored=11  rendered=10  typeCap=10
+
+Retention caps:
+  type-capped entries: 8
+  global-cap overflow: 0
+
+Dormancy:
+  dormant discount active: no
+
+Retention monitoring:
+  high_importance_ratio: 0.0% (alert > 30%)
+```
+
+### Not Included Yet
+
+- Delete tombstones are not implemented in this release.
+- Explicit `supersedes` chain enforcement is still deferred.
+- Hot/warm/cold tiered storage remains future work.
+
+### Upgrade Notes
+
+- No configuration changes required.
+- Existing workspace memory files remain compatible.
+- Existing entries without a `retentionClock` fall back safely to existing timestamps.
+- The OpenCode config entry stays the same:
+
+```json
+{
+  "plugin": ["opencode-working-memory"]
+}
+```
+
+### Validation
+
+- `npm run typecheck`
+- `npm test` — 242 tests passing
+- `bun scripts/memory-diag.ts health`

+
+## 1.4.0 (2026-04-28)
+
+### Memory Quality Cleanup
+
+This release improves automatic workspace memory quality without risking broad cleanup of useful existing memories.
+
+The quality gate is now shared across compaction extraction and migration checks, the compaction prompt is stricter about what should become durable memory, and the one-time migration is intentionally conservative.
+
+### What Changed
+
+- **Unified quality rules**: memory quality checks now live in one shared module and apply consistently across feedback, decisions, project facts, and references.
+- **Stricter compaction output**: the compaction prompt now tells the model to save fewer memories and prefer durable facts, user preferences, architecture decisions, and hard-to-rediscover references.
+- **Conservative migration cleanup**: the `2026-04-28-quality-cleanup` migration only supersedes high-confidence garbage patterns, not every rejected memory.
+- **Audit logs**: automatic migration cleanup writes local JSONL audit records so superseded entries can be inspected and restored.
+- **Extraction rejection logs**: newly rejected compaction candidates are logged locally to help calibrate future quality rules.
+- **Regression coverage**: migration behavior is tested against sanitized real-workspace patterns to prevent mass false positives from coming back.
+- **Workspace cleanup tooling**: a dev/admin cleanup command can dry-run or quarantine definite temp/test workspace residues without deleting unknown missing-root workspaces.
+- **Test storage isolation**: test runs now use a temporary `XDG_DATA_HOME`, preventing fixture workspaces from polluting real local memory data.
+
+### What Gets Cleaned Up
+
+The migration may supersede existing `source: "compaction"` memories only when they match hard garbage patterns:
+
+- Empty entries
+- Progress snapshots, such as "Wave 1 completed successfully"
+- Test or suite count snapshots, such as "180 tests passed"
+- Raw errors and stack traces
+- Commit or CI snapshots
+- Temporary status notes, such as "Currently running npm test"
+- Active file snapshots
+- Code or API signatures
+- Path-heavy entries that are just rediscoverable file lists
+
+### What Is Protected
+
+The migration does not supersede entries whose only issue is a soft heuristic failure, such as:
+
+- `bad_feedback`
+- `bad_decision`
+
+This protects useful declarative memories like:
+
+- Product branding rules
+- API facts
+- Release rules
+- Architecture decisions
+- User workflow preferences
+
+Explicit and manual memories are also protected.
+
+### Migration Behavior
+
+- Runs once per workspace.
+- Only affects active `source: "compaction"` entries.
+- Marks matching entries as `status: "superseded"` instead of deleting them.
+- Adds `quality_cleanup` and `quality:<reason>` tags to superseded entries.
+- Writes audit logs to:
+  `~/.local/share/opencode-working-memory/migration-logs/2026-04-28-quality-cleanup.jsonl`
+- Writes extraction rejection logs to:
+  `~/.local/share/opencode-working-memory/extraction-rejections.jsonl`
+
+### Recovery
+
+If a useful memory is superseded, inspect the migration audit log and restore the entry by changing its status back to `"active"` in the workspace's `workspace-memory.json`.
+
+### Workspace Residue Cleanup
+
+If old test/temp workspace stores already exist locally, inspect them first:
+
+```bash
+npm run cleanup:workspaces -- --dry-run
+```
+
+To move definite temp/test residues into a local quarantine folder instead of deleting them:
+
+```bash
+npm run cleanup:workspaces -- --quarantine
+```
+
+The cleanup command skips existing workspace roots and unknown missing-root workspaces by default.
+
+### Upgrade Notes
+
+- No configuration changes required.
+- Existing workspace memory files remain compatible.
+- The OpenCode config entry stays the same:
+
+```json
+{
+  "plugin": ["opencode-working-memory"]
+}
+```
+
+### Validation
+
+- `npm test`
+- `npm run typecheck`
+
+---
+
+## 1.3.2 (2026-04-27)
+
+### CI Compatibility Patch
+
+- Fixed the compatibility workflow so dependency installation works without a committed lockfile.
+- Moved compatibility CI to Node 24 so TypeScript-stripping tests run correctly.
+- No runtime or storage changes.
+
+---
+
+## 1.3.1 (2026-04-27)
+
+### Security and Reliability Patch
+
+This patch release keeps the v1.3 memory-consolidation model intact while tightening storage safety, compatibility checks, and repository-agnostic dedupe behavior.
+
+### What Changed
+
+- **Bounded pending journal**: pending memories are capped at 50 entries and pruned after 30 days.
+- **Security hardening**: workspace memory candidates now reject indirect prompt-injection attempts, and redaction covers broader token, secret, credential, auth, and private-key labels.
+- **Compatibility coverage**: plugin capability tests and weekly OpenCode plugin API compatibility CI help catch hook drift before release.
+- **Repo-agnostic dedupe**: long-term memory dedupe no longer depends on hardcoded project-specific topic rules; project/reference memories use generic URL/path identity plus exact canonical matching.
+- **Clearer limitations**: README and changelog now document compatibility, best-effort secret redaction, working-memory scope, plugin ordering, and multi-process write boundaries.
+
+### Thanks
+
+- Thanks @StevenChoo for the security hardening contribution in #3.
+
+### Upgrade Notes
+
+- No user migration is required.
+- Existing workspace memory and pending journal files remain compatible.
+- The OpenCode config entry stays the same:
+
+```json
+{
+  "plugin": ["opencode-working-memory"]
+}
+```
+
+### Validation
+
+- `npm test`
+- `npm run typecheck`
+
+---
+
+## 1.3.0 (2026-04-27)
+
+### Better Memory Consolidation
+
+This release makes OpenCode Working Memory smarter about what happens to saved memories after compaction. Instead of treating every pending memory as simply "kept" or "not kept", it now understands four outcomes:
+
+- **Promoted** — a new memory was saved to workspace memory.
+- **Absorbed** — the memory was a duplicate of something already remembered.
+- **Superseded** — a newer same-topic decision or preference replaced an older one.
+- **Rejected** — the memory was stale, noisy, or over the workspace memory limit.
+
+### What This Improves
+
+- **Fewer repeated pending memories**: duplicate or superseded memories no longer keep coming back for promotion.
+- **Cleaner long-term memory**: old same-topic decisions are replaced more predictably.
+- **Safer promotion accounting**: pending memories are only cleared when the final normalized workspace memory confirms what happened to them.
+- **More useful compaction output**: the compaction prompt now includes clearer examples of what should and should not become durable memory.
+
+### Also Included
+
+- Memory quality regression fixtures: 5 examples that should be kept and 7 noisy examples that should be rejected.
+- Fix for `session.deleted` session ID extraction so cleanup and promotion use the same event parsing path.
+- Fix for active-vs-superseded promotion behavior: archived superseded entries no longer block a fresh active memory.
+- README and architecture documentation updates.
+
+### Upgrade Notes
+
+- No user migration is required.
+- Existing workspace memory files remain compatible.
+- The OpenCode config entry stays the same:
+
+```json
+{
+  "plugin": ["opencode-working-memory"]
+}
+```
+
+### Tests
+
+- **135 tests pass**.
+
+---
+
+## 1.2.3 (2026-04-27)
+
+### Prompt Cache Optimization — Frozen Snapshot + Ephemeral Delta
+
+This release optimizes OpenCode Working Memory's impact on OpenCode's prompt cache, following Hermes-style architecture patterns.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Frozen workspace snapshot**: Workspace memory is now rendered once at session start and cached as immutable `system[1]`. No mid-session re-render that could invalidate the cache.
+- **Ephemeral hot state**: Hot session state (active files, errors) is rendered in `system[2+]`, which is excluded from the first-two-system cache control.
+- **Durable pending journal**: Explicit memories are written to both session state and a durable workspace-level pending journal, ensuring no data loss between compactions.
+- **Safe promotion**: Explicit memories are promoted from pending to workspace memory at:
+  - Next session start (before frozen snapshot)
+  - `session.compacted`
+  - `session.deleted` (before cleanup)
+
+### Architecture
+
+```
+system[0]  → OpenCode / agent header (stable cached)
+system[1] → Frozen workspace memory snapshot (stable cached)
+system[2+] → Hot session state + pending memories (dynamic, not cached)
+```
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Hot state invalidating cache**: Active files / errors updating every tool call previously caused the entire workspace memory block to be re-hashed, killing cache efficiency.
+- **Explicit memory loss**: Without compaction, explicit memories could be lost when sessions ended without promotion.
+- **Mid-session mutation**: Explicit memories no longer mutate the running frozen snapshot; they appear as pending and are promoted safely.
+
+### Migration
+
+- One-time migration: `2026-04-27-p0-cleanup` removes stale pending journal entries older than 60 days.
+
+### Tests
+
+- **91 tests pass** (24 workspace-memory, 34 extractors, 14 plugin, 19 pending-journal)
+
+---
+
+## 1.2.2 (2026-04-27)
+
+### Safer Multilingual Memory Capture
+
+This release strengthens explicit memory handling across languages while keeping sensitive credentials out of stored workspace memory.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Always-on credential redaction**: Credentials are redacted both when memory is loaded and when it is saved
+- **Multilingual memory triggers**: Added Japanese and Korean explicit-memory phrases, plus expanded Chinese coverage
+- **Expanded snapshot filtering**: Rejects Wave/Sprint/Milestone/Task progress snapshots that should not become durable memory
+- **Higher memory quality bar**: Extraction now focuses on durable facts that will change future behavior
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Credential leakage risk**: Password/PIN-style values are now redacted with delimiter-preserving patterns, including multilingual labels such as `パスワード`, `비밀번호`, `contraseña`, `mot de passe`, and `Passwort`.
+- **Missing non-English explicit memory requests**: Japanese (`覚えて`, `メモして`), Korean (`기억해`, `메모해줘`), and additional Chinese triggers are now recognized.
+- **Progress snapshots polluting memory**: Wave/Sprint/Milestone/Task status updates are filtered from long-term memory unless they contain durable facts.
+
+### Migration
+
+- Runs one-time cleanup for legacy snapshot entries: `2026-04-26-p0-cleanup`
+
+---
+
+## 1.2.1 (2026-04-26)
+
+### Compaction Memory Quality — Four-Layer Defense
+
+This release addresses systemic quality issues in workspace memory: duplicates, stale entries, and silently lost memory candidates. A four-layer defense is now in place:
+
+```
+Prompt    → Durable-content guidance keeps LLM on factual memories
+Parser    → Accepts bracketless format, filters session snapshots
+Storage   → Entity-key dedup + topic supersession + source priority
+Staleness → Age-based pruning of obsolete compaction/manual entries
+```
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Self-cleaning memory**: Entity-key deduplication, topic supersession, and age-based staleness pruning automatically maintain memory quality
+- **Robust parser**: Accepts both bracketless (`- type text`) and bracketed (`- [type] text`) formats — no more silently lost memories
+- **Durable-content prompt**: Compaction template now guides LLM toward factual, long-lived memories while explicitly discouraging session ephemera
+- **Smart snapshot filtering**: Automatically rejects project-type snapshots (file counts, test counts, Phase progress) that don't belong in long-term memory
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Bracketless format bug**: Parser regex only matched `- [type]` pattern; real LLM output often uses `- type` (no brackets). Both formats now accepted. (P0a)
+- **Purple/italic text in OpenCode UI**: Replaced XML/HTML comment templates with clean Markdown headings. Further hardened with negative instructions to forbid YAML frontmatter. (P0b β)
+- **Session snapshots polluting memory**: Project entries like "37 個文件", "26 tests pass", "Phase 2 completed" now rejected by parser filter. (P0c)
+- **Duplicate entries**: Entities deduped by key (e.g., `opencode-agenthub plugin system`). Topic conflicts resolved via supersession: newer shorter facts beat older verbose ones for decisions/feedback. (P0d)
+- **Stale entries never cleaned**: Compaction/manual entries with `staleAfterDays` now auto-pruned after 30-day grace period.
+- **Short reference entries rejected**: Admin PIN (`456123`) and config values (`Scrypt n=32768`) now allowed through config value allowlist despite being under 20 chars.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`chooseBetterMemory`**: Now accepts `"entity"` mode (length preferred, for project/reference) and `"supersession"` mode (freshness preferred, for decision/feedback).
+- **Source priority in sort**: Manual/source priority now included as secondary sort tie-breaker after entry priority.
+
+### Technical Details
+
+- **Parser formats**: 4 accepted (plain text label primary, plus Markdown section, legacy section, legacy XML)
+- **Chinese counter words**: Regex matches `個`/`个` between numbers and nouns (e.g., `37 個文件`)

+
+**Quality Gate**: Not all candidates become memories. OpenCode Working Memory rejects:
 - Git commit hashes (e.g., `abc1234`)
 - Raw errors (e.g., `Error: something failed`)
 - Stack traces
 - Path-heavy facts (>50% paths)
 - Very short text (<20 chars)
 
-### Deduplication
+### Consolidation, Deduplication, and Retention
 
-Memories are deduplicated using **canonical text matching**:
-1. Normalize: lowercase, strip punctuation, collapse whitespace
-2. Hash the canonical text
-3. Keep the entry with highest confidence
+Memories are deduplicated and consolidated with accounting:
+
+1. Normalize exact text: lowercase, strip punctuation, collapse whitespace.
+2. Group project/reference entries by identity where possible.
+3. Keep decision and feedback entries on exact canonical matching to avoid broad semantic merges.
+4. Keep the best surviving entry by source, confidence, specificity, and freshness tie-breakers.
+5. Emit accounting events so pending memories can be classified as promoted, absorbed, superseded, or rejected.
+
+This prevents absorbed or superseded pending memories from retrying forever while still preserving the active surviving memory.
+
+Retention then decides which active memories are rendered into prompt context. It does not hard-delete old memories by age.
+
+```typescript
+strength = initialStrength * 2 ** (-effectiveAgeDays / effectiveHalfLifeDays)
+```
+
+Initial strength is based on memory type, source, and optional user importance. Confidence remains stored for compatibility but is not part of retention scoring.
+
+Rendered candidates are selected in this order:
+
+1. Exclude `status: "superseded"` entries.
+2. Compute current retention strength.
+3. Sort by strength descending.
+4. Apply per-type caps.
+5. Keep the top 28 rendered entries under the workspace memory character budget.
+
+Default type caps:
+
+| Type | Rendered cap |
+|------|--------------|
+| `feedback` | 10 |
+| `decision` | 10 |
+| `project` | 8 |
+| `reference` | 6 |
+
+The type-cap total is 34, intentionally above the global 28-entry cap. These are maximums, not quotas.
+
+Dormant workspaces age more slowly: after 14 inactive days, additional dormant time counts at 0.25x for retention decay. Repeated duplicate memories reinforce the surviving entry and slow future decay, but same-session and under-one-hour repeats do not stack reinforcement.
+
+### Safety-Critical Deprecation
+
+The `safetyCritical` field on `LongTermMemoryEntry` is deprecated as of the retention v1.5.1 model update. It no longer affects retention strength or type-cap bypass. The field is preserved in the type definition for backward compatibility with existing workspace memory JSON files, but has no active behavior. Safety rules should be maintained in user-controlled files such as `agent.md` rather than in system memory.
 
 ### System Prompt Injection

+
+All read-modify-write updates go through `updateJSON()`, which combines an in-process promise queue with an on-disk `.lock` file. The lock file uses exclusive creation, heartbeat refreshes while held, stale-lock recovery after 30 seconds, and a 5 second wait timeout for live contention. Direct `readJSON()` is fallback-oriented and does not mutate data except when corrupt JSON is quarantined.
