stigmem Reset: v1.0 Retracted; v0.9.0a1 First Build
Eidetic Labs has retracted a prior v1.0 announcement for its open-source federated agent memory project, stigmem, and reset the canonical version series so that v0.9.0a1 (an alpha preview) is the first public build. The team audited published artifacts, yanked incompatible adapter uploads from PyPI, and republished installable 0.9.0a1 packages (stigmem, stigmem-py, stigmem-node, stigmem-openclaw, and @eidetic-labs/stigmem-ts). They moved many previously announced v1.0 features to an explicit experimental/ opt-in area, published a threat-model-driven roadmap toward a hardened v1.0 (including mTLS-by-default, bounded HLC skew, audit logs, and a 30‑day external operator soak), and improved transparency about AI-assisted code authorship. The post invites one external operator to run a 30-day soak to help validate federation hardening before v1.0. Publication date: 2026-05-10.
Project reset and re-release affects integrators of an emerging federated AI-memory infrastructure, clarifies security readiness and package availability, and sets a roadmap toward a hardened v1.0; notable within agent/LLM infrastructure but not industry-shifting.

Key Takeaways & Evidence Grounding
- Eidetic Labs retracted the v1.0 label for stigmem and reset the canonical version line to v0.9.0a1 as the first public build.
- v0.9.0a1 was published for stigmem and related packages (stigmem-py, stigmem-node, stigmem-openclaw) on PyPI and @eidetic-labs/stigmem-ts on npm.
- OpenClaw adapter uploads at v1.0.3 and v1.0.5 were found to declare an unpublished dependency (stigmem-py>=1.0.0rc1) and were yanked from PyPI; stigmem-openclaw 0.9.0a1 is the first installable adapter release.
- Multiple features previously advertised as v1.0 are moved to experimental/ opt-in status until they pass threat-model deltas, ADRs, conformance vectors, and a 30-day operator soak.
- A publicly visible milestone-based plan toward v1.0 was published (ROADMAP.md) emphasizing federation hardening, prompt-injection redesign, persistent audit logs, and external operator validation.

Neonmem 0.9.7 Released with Offline Vector Recall
Neonmem 0.9.7 is a technical release that introduces a two-level importer separating a deduplicated, searchable facts pool from typed memories extracted from agent chats. The release replaces the previous embedder with IBM Granite-30M run as a fused fp16 ONNX graph via ONNX Runtime, enabling FAISS-based retrieval on CPU without GPUs, cloud services, or third‑party LLMs. New features include tag canonicalization, deduplicated chat capture, a single compressed "cartridge" containing the full source corpus, and opt-in AES-256-GCM encryption at rest. The build is distributed as Windows (signed installer + portable) and Linux (AppImage) binaries, with macOS support forthcoming. All core components are open-source / permissively licensed.
cliMEM adds persistent memory to CLI coding agents
Authors describe cliMEM, a local proxy that gives command-line coding agents persistent, per-project memory by intercepting agent requests, extracting distilled facts from chat logs, and storing them in Cognee (a graph + vector memory engine). Built by Team AIALCHEMISTS at a WeMakeDevs hackathon, cliMEM injects relevant remembered facts and a live file tree into new sessions so agents retain decisions, conventions, and open threads. The post recounts major implementation challenges (missing DB migrations, embedding provider API mismatches with NVIDIA NIM, tokenizer mapping issues with Jina) and pragmatic fixes: running Cognee migrations at startup, switching to local embeddings (fastembed) during the hackathon, and contributing an EMBEDDING_INPUT_TYPE config and provider detection patch for Cognee to support NVIDIA NIM. The team plans further hardening and to land the Cognee PR.
AI Memory Reliability Checklist Pilot for Agent Setups
A DEV Community author (Self-Correcting Systems) posted a call for three participants to share redacted, non-sensitive AI agent instruction files (examples: AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, Cursor rules, memory exports, SOPs) to test a small AI memory reliability checklist. Participants will receive a short report identifying stale or conflicting instructions, which instructions should govern action, missing verification gates, and cases where memory might incorrectly override authoritative guidance. The public research repo is linked on GitHub. The post clarifies this is a small research pilot (not a security, legal, compliance, or production safety audit). Publication date: 2026-05-31.
