What's new

Threadnote 4.2.3 makes semantic recall work offline and across Unicode languages, adds optional privacy-bounded diagnostics for CLI and MCP problems, and introduces graceful automatic updates. It also makes graph activity easier to manage and clarifies the one-user Cursor Cloud setup.

Optional anonymous diagnostics for CLI and MCP

  • Anonymous operational telemetry is disabled by default and starts only after an explicit preview and applied consent. It covers fixed CLI and MCP operations, duration, graph and recall phases, typed failures, timeouts, parser degradation, and bucketed process-memory signals.
  • A random agent-session identifier correlates activity within one MCP broker lifetime without creating a persistent installation or user identifier. Command arguments, paths, repositories, queries, results, memory content, logs, exception messages, and stack traces are never included.
  • The first-party endpoint validates a strict versioned OTLP schema before storing traces. DO_NOT_TRACK=1 and THREADNOTE_TELEMETRY=0 remain immediate process-level kill switches.

Review the exact data contract before opting in:

threadnote telemetry status
threadnote telemetry enable
threadnote telemetry enable --apply

Disable it at any time with threadnote telemetry disable --apply.

Offline and multilingual semantic recall

  • The pinned BGE Small core embedding model is now bundled in every standalone executable. Fresh install and repair can provision the default semantic-recall model without a second network download, while verified existing models are preserved.
  • Lexical and vector recall now retain scrubbed Unicode natural-language memory text instead of reducing it to ASCII-only identifiers. NFC normalization and common apostrophe and dash variants improve equivalent-query matching, including Ukrainian and other non-Latin text.
  • Existing derived lexical and vector indexes rebuild automatically under the new format; canonical memories are not rewritten.

Graceful automatic updates

  • threadnote update --auto on enables coordinated background updates; --auto off returns to notifications only.
  • threadnote update --status reports the effective policy, an active attempt, and the latest success or failure. Add --json for the versioned machine-readable form.
  • Session-start hooks and the long-lived MCP broker share one install-scoped coordinator with duplicate suppression, retry backoff, stale-run recovery, safe side-by-side activation, and next-request MCP runtime promotion. No updater daemon is added.

Clearer graph and Cursor Cloud operation

  • Manager separates the interactive graph explorer from graph status and administration. Build cards stay in stable order, the canvas remains usable during concurrent indexing, and administration starts expanded with an explicit disclosure control.
  • The Cursor Cloud beta guide now separates personal MCP registration from VM provisioning and documents personal saved environments, idempotent Build installation, Git-share bootstrap, and in-VM verification without changing a team environment. Managed remote memory remains a deployment foundation rather than a hosted end-user service.

Existing standalone installations upgrade with:
