+# Memmy v1.2.2
+
+## Highlights
+
+- Improved memory initialization and turn capture by moving bounded work off the model path and exposing clearer background-capture diagnostics.
+- Improved bundled Memory runtime upgrades by selecting runtimes by build identity and validating the installed runtime across macOS and Windows.
+- Added long-document reading with bounded chunks and continuation offsets for PDF and Office files.
+- Improved agent-source ingestion, auto-injection, and skill distribution with broader regression coverage and clearer lifecycle handling.
+- Fixed LM Studio and OpenAI-compatible JSON response-format incompatibilities by retrying with text mode when needed.
+
+## Agent and Desktop improvements
+
+- Refreshed installed Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor hooks when their bundled revision or on-disk files are stale, and record the revision only after a successful install.
+- Kept queued memory processing moving after session close and retained end-topic turns that contain feedback or instructions for L1 capture.
+- Improved filesystem and document tools with consistent line numbering, continued long-document reads, and expanded agent-runtime regression coverage.
+- Tightened analytics boundaries by avoiding raw search queries, memory text, and identifiers in CLI command actions while reporting stored-memory and source-layer events consistently.
+
+## Upgrade notes
+
+- Memmy Desktop and Agent are version `1.2.2`.
+- The bundled Memory service, viewer, and CLI remain independently versioned.
+- Memory protocol version remains `1`.

 - Use `fixed_strings=true` for literal keywords containing regex characters.
 - Before reading full matches, use `output_mode="count"` to estimate the scale of broad searches.
 - Use `head_limit` and `offset` to page through large result sets.
-- You may skip binary or very large files to keep results readable.
+- For long documents, use `read_file` with `char_offset` and `char_limit`; use `pages` to select PDF pages. Follow the returned continuation offset with the same path and page selection until the required content is read. When the task requires the whole document, continue to the end before claiming it is fully read.
+- A truncated excerpt does not establish that a fact is absent or unavailable. Retrieve the missing range before drawing conclusions or asking the user to supply information already in the document.
+- If command output is truncated while extracting a document, save the extracted text to a file and read the relevant ranges, or use `read_file` on the original document. Polling a completed command does not recover omitted output.
