🌟 Release Highlights

This release simplifies cache-memory configuration by removing restrictive default file type limitations, making persistent storage more flexible for AI agents.

✨ What's New

Simplified Cache-Memory Configuration - Cache-memory now allows all file types by default when cache-memory: true is specified without explicit allowed-extensions. Previously, only .json, .jsonl, .txt, .md, and .csv files were allowed by default, requiring manual configuration for other file types. This change:

Reduces boilerplate - No need to specify allowed-extensions for common use cases where agents need to store varied data formats
Maintains security options - Explicit allowed-extensions restrictions still work when you need them
Improves workflow clarity - Validation steps are automatically omitted when all files are allowed, reducing compiled workflow size

Example - Before (required configuration):

cache-memory:
  enabled: true
  allowed-extensions: [".json", ".xml", ".log", ".dat"]  # Had to list every type

Example - After (simpler default):

cache-memory: true  # All file types allowed by default

Migration: Existing workflows with explicit allowed-extensions continue to work unchanged. Remove the allowed-extensions field to adopt the new permissive default.

🔧 Technical Details

Updated DefaultAllowedMemoryExtensions from restricted list to empty array ([])
Workflow compiler skips validation step generation when no restrictions are configured
Recompiled 77 workflow lock files to remove unnecessary validation steps
All existing tests updated and passing
