The docs described a "drop-in" OpenClaw memory backend enabled with
`memory.backend = "clawhdf5"`. Checked against OpenClaw's source and
docs (v2026.2.26 through v2026.9.6): that config was never valid —
v2026.2-v2026.7 accepted only "builtin"/"qmd" and rejected unknown
keys, so a Gateway given it refuses to start, and v2026.8.1 (OpenClaw
2.0) removed the key. No plugin was ever built (no manifest, no
registration, no tools), nothing was tested against OpenClaw, the
linked github.com/redclawsystems/openclaw is a 404, and
@redclaw/clawhdf5 was never published.
Decision (2026-09-25): not pursuing an OpenClaw plugin for now; ZeroClaw
is the integration target.
- Remove openclaw-integration.md, openclaw-config.md and
migration-guide.md; add docs/openclaw.md: the status, what a memory
plugin needs against v2026.9.6 (plugins.slots.memory, manifest with
kind "memory", registerMemoryCapability / MemorySearchManager,
prebuilt native packages), and what this repo has as building blocks.
- README, QUICKSTART, USE_CASES, ROADMAP (Track 7 withdrawn), CLAUDE.md
and the `openclaw` module docs describe ClawhdfBackend as what it is:
a Markdown-oriented library backend, not an OpenClaw plugin. The
QUICKSTART example is corrected (the old one called a three-argument
create that does not exist) and states its limits.
- packages/clawhdf5-node: marked unpublished and broken, "private": true
so it cannot be published by accident; its bugs (snake_case vs
camelCase fields, wrong addon path, no way to store an embedding,
wrong WAL name) are recorded in docs/known-issues.md.
- Two broken rustdoc links fixed along the way.

README.md:
- Fix badly stale LongMemEval numbers (badge said Hit@5 46%, table showed
fabricated ~46%/~0.34/~72% figures that never matched BENCHMARKS.md's
actual results of Hit@5 100% session / 84.4% turn-level, MRR 1.0/0.6597)
- Remove clawhdf5-types from the Crate Map — that crate was removed in an
earlier cleanup pass but the README diagram was never updated; fix the
crate count (16, not 17) and stale line-of-code figures (72,087/84K -> ~92K)
- Fix a dead #benchmarks badge anchor (no such heading exists) -> #performance
- Document the new clawhdf5-ann `parallel` feature (had no Feature Flags entry)
- Note WAL's CRC32 per-entry check, link the new tank LongMemEval/SIMD/
vector-search reproduction section, update stale test-count comment
(417+ -> 1,650+) and Phase 2 roadmap blurb (LongMemEval is now done)
ROADMAP.md:
- Check off "Academic benchmark cross-validation" (done via the tank
LongMemEval re-run) and add a new "Recently closed out" section
summarizing the Tier 3-4 hardening pass (Android JNI validation, pyo3
bump, WAL CRC32, bounds-check audit + fuzz harness that found 3 real
bugs, HNSW optional parallel feature, workspace.dependencies)
- Update stale test count (1,546 -> 1,650+) and last-updated date
CLAUDE.md: mention WAL's per-entry CRC32 check
CHANGELOG.md: add Security/Performance/Architecture/Documentation entries
under Unreleased summarizing all of Tiers 1-4 (this had not been touched
since 2026-06-04, predating the entire hardening pass)
- Fix version skew: clawhdf5-py (pyproject.toml 1.93.0 -> 2.1.0) and
packages/clawhdf5-node (package.json 2.0.0 -> 2.1.0) were both behind
the actual crate version.
- Correct stale ROADMAP.md claims: the TypeScript bridge already has a
complete napi-rs package (not "no package.json"); CI/CD is now wired
up via .gitea/workflows/ci.yml.
- Fix CLAUDE.md: clawhdf5-gpu uses wgpu with hand-written WGSL compute
shaders, not CubeCL.
- chunked_read.rs: drop 12 unnecessary chunk_dimensions[..rank].to_vec()
allocations — all three callees already accept &[u32].
- btree_v1.rs: add an overflow-safe ensure_len(data, offset, needed)
helper (checked_add) and use it at the two plain-arithmetic bounds
guards, closing a usize-overflow edge case reachable from a crafted
near-usize::MAX B-tree offset. Add a regression test.
- Clarify that the integrity hashes in clawhdf5-agent/provenance.rs
(FNV-1a) and clawhdf5-format/provenance.rs (SHA-256) are unkeyed and
only detect accidental corruption, not tampering — doc-only change.
- README.md: document that the mpi-io feature's read/write paths are
root-read+broadcast / gather-to-rank-0, not true collective I/O.
- Remove clawhdf5-types (empty 1-line stub crate; type defs already live in
clawhdf5-format). Update workspace Cargo.toml and CLAUDE.md accordingly.
- Implement HDF5 superblock v4 (page-buffer mode) read and write support in
clawhdf5-format: Superblock::parse_v4, page_size field, v4 serialize
branch, and FileWriter::with_page_size. This was the one task left
unimplemented from docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-29-format-write-extensions.md.
- Reconcile the three docs/superpowers/plans/*.md docs (filter codecs,
format write extensions, MPI-IO VOL) against actual shipped code: they
were pre-work plans for d6c4d4f (2026-06-30) committed to git late on
2026-08-03 with all checkboxes still unchecked. Mark completed tasks done
and add a status note so they read as historical records, not open work.
- Refresh ROADMAP.md's "What's Next" section against current repo state.
