thedotmack/claude-mem v13.36.0

on GitHub

A community release: nearly every change since v13.35.0 came from outside contributors and is merged under their own name. Thank you all.

Highlights

• Memories are no longer dropped when the provider says no. An empty Anthropic credit balance, an organization blocking subscription access, or a local model server that is down now pauses the observer and keeps the work instead of discarding it (@Mola-maker). When the observer stream ends early, its batch is handed back for reprocessing (@shantanukhanwalkar).
• Windows home folders with non-ASCII names work again. Bun and Claude are found when your user folder name contains Korean, Japanese or other non-ASCII characters (@akushonkamen).
• Hooks don't report your project's tsconfig as errors. This affected React Native and Expo projects (@Totopo27).
• The viewer saves only what you changed, so an old settings tab can't undo a change you made elsewhere (@Cassian433).
• Search improvements:
  • Correct paging (@junnhwan).
  • Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai words are found inside sentences (@rudycelekli).
  • Long natural-language queries fall back to any-term matching when no memory matches every word (@devkancheti4-design).
• Chroma reliability:
  • No more stalls after a reboot on large stores (@akushonkamen).
  • Orphaned chroma-mcp processes that hold your data directory are cleaned up safely before starting, so they no longer cause lock fights (@akushonkamen).

New

• Qoder plugin support (@shouldnotappearcalm).
• Screenpipe skill for searching meeting and screen history and saving it to memory (@EzraEllette).
• Atlas Cloud preset for the OpenAI-compatible provider (@binyangzhu000-sudo).
• CLAUDE_MEM_OPENROUTER_TEMPERATURE setting (@aeneasr).
• CLAUDE_MEM_SEMANTIC_INJECT_FORMAT=index: compact per-prompt memory injection (@ktdrv).
• CLAUDE_MEM_WORK_STATE_ENABLED=false to turn off the work-state to-do rule (@noesis-bot).
• CLAUDE_MEM_TOOL_USES_RETENTION_DAYS: opt-in pruning of the raw tool log. The default keeps everything (@Montinou).
• Duplicate review: record a "distinct" or "dismissed" verdict on duplicate candidates (@Montinou).
• Viewer: a Claude auth method control in settings (@akushonkamen).
• Server runtime: idempotent memory uploads (@escooterclinic).

Fixes

• Capture and sessions:
  • Original capture timestamps are kept for delayed events (@junnhwan).
  • Stale session-end events are retired (@akushonkamen).
  • Warnings are logged before queued work is discarded (@Boulea7).
  • Tool calls whose input is null are captured, logging recovers when the log folder appears later, and every shutdown step runs (@rudycelekli).
  • Search triggers are restored after database upgrades (@akushonkamen).
  • Fewer SQLite warnings on macOS (@CCCLL).
• Database safety: the database records the newest schema version that has written to it, and an older claude-mem refuses to open a database a newer one has upgraded (@akushonkamen).
• Memory import and notes:
  • Restored memories attach to existing sessions (@junnhwan).
  • Native note revisions survive title dedup (@junnhwan).
  • Explicit notes keep their platform source in the search index (@junnhwan).
  • Notes that start with ---- are no longer mangled (@akushonkamen).
• Search robustness: malformed file lists, plain-text concepts, folder search against absolute paths, consistent date parsing, and better patterns for native search commands (@rudycelekli).
• Installers and integrations:
  • Cursor configs with a BOM and commented Codex TOML are read correctly, and npm can no longer hang the installer (@rudycelekli).
  • Worker ports and IPv6 addresses are honored everywhere, and the uvx path can be set in settings (@Ravencloned).
• Providers and streaming:
  • OpenCode Go session header (@Cassian433).
  • Sturdier streamed replies, emoji never split when long output is trimmed, and Zstandard transcripts keep their text intact (@rudycelekli).
• Server runtime:
  • Fresh installs no longer get 403 errors (@DeryFerd).
  • File edits reach the server, and CLAUDE_MEM_SKIP_TOOLS is honored in server mode (@DeryFerd).
  • Stuck jobs are reclaimed (@escooterclinic).
  • No stray local database (@vinay121314).
  • Leaner prompts (@rich-murphey).
  • Postgres keeps literal __proto__ keys in stored JSON (@rudycelekli).
  • Stricter Redis settings (@rudycelekli).
• Sync, Chroma and duplicates:
  • Prompts from other devices are linked (@necatisozer).
  • Turning Chroma off is fully honored (@CCCLL).
  • Fewer Chroma rewrites at startup (@Montinou).
  • Accent-aware duplicate detection (@rudycelekli) and a corrected similarity threshold (@udsy19).
• Viewer:
  • "Select all" in the Logs drawer works (@DrDLyuan).
  • The context preview opens on a project that has data (@rudycelekli).
