Liminal 0.0.12 — research ledger & FSL license

v0.0.12 (2026-05-26) added research discipline and identity memory on main, relicensed the harness under FSL-1.1-MIT (fair source — each release converts to MIT after two years), and polished multi-chat chrome in the web UI.

Current alpha is v0.1.2.

Shipped in this slice#

• Research ledger — Per-send() tracking of web_search / web_fetch (queries, surfaced URLs, fetch outcomes, deduped URLs); compact context injection each round; harness tool research_state (summary / pending / fetched / failures)
• Identity memory — Intent identityQuery / identityProvision; LLM-generated recall queries (not keyword lists); on-disk scan of user: / identity: / pref: notes injected before answer; auto-remember with scope: global when the user states their name (user:name); protocol reminder not to use OS username as display name
• Recall fix — recall_relevant accepts query or queries (schema no longer fails when only scope was passed)
• Web UI — Chat switcher embedded in each persona shell chrome (HUD, Studio, Terminal status line, Minimal) instead of a separate top strip; portaled dropdown + click-outside dismiss
• PASTE (optional) — Predictive tool-call speculation from paste patterns (AGENT_PASTE_*, off by default)
• License — FSL-1.1-MIT (MIT Future) across the harness; expanded compliance docs; marketing and install copy updated to fair-source framing
• Reliability — write_file no longer false-fails integrity checks when comments contain apostrophes
