The README had fallen behind v2.3.0-v2.7.0, and parts of it were not
true. Checked every claim against the code and BENCHMARKS.md:
- Three of the six Quick Start snippets no longer compiled (Agent
Memory, Consolidation, OpenClaw); all six now do.
- Hybrid search was described as RRF throughout. The default has been
weighted 0.4/0.6 fusion since v2.5.0; re-ranking and confidence
rejection run only in the OpenClaw backend.
- The `float16` feature does not halve embedding storage (the store
always writes f32), `--features agent` enables nothing, "Source
Isolation" is not wired in, and nothing backs "billion-scale" IVF-PQ.
- "Cryptographically verifiable" overstated an unkeyed, session-scoped
FNV-1a ledger; "Zero C dependencies" was false while zlib-ng was the
default deflate backend.
- Stale numbers: tests (1,650 -> 1,868), Rust badge (1.75 is below
edition 2024's floor), 6.5 KB/record on disk (BENCHMARKS.md: 1.7 KB),
consolidation and hybrid-search latency, and a feature-flag table
broken by a paragraph pasted into it.
- The file schema, module table and crate map now match the code.
Adds a "What's new (v2.2 -> v2.7)" section for collaborators, leading
with the silent Extensible Array read bug fixed in v2.7.0. Footer links
point at git.redclaw.dev. CLAUDE.md: clawhdf5-migrate is the SQLite
migration tool, and MemoryConfig::compression is off by default.
