End-user installs now lead with `uv tool install mempalace`, with
`pip install mempalace` kept as a fallback. Dev/contributor docs lead
with `uv sync --extra dev` and `uv run` for tests/benchmarks/lint, with
the equivalent pip recipe kept inline. The shipped `/mempalace:init`
skill instructions (mempalace/instructions/init.md) try `uv tool install`
first when uv is on PATH, then fall back through the pip variants.
Adds a .python-version pin at 3.12 because the lockfile's
onnxruntime==1.24.3 only ships wheels for Python >=3.11; without the
pin, `uv sync` on a host where uv prefers 3.10 fails with no source
distribution available, which would make the documented command a
footgun. pyproject's `requires-python = ">=3.9"` is unchanged — pip
users on 3.9/3.10 are unaffected.
Files updated: README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CLAUDE.md, the gemini-cli
guide and example, the .claude-plugin / .codex-plugin READMEs, the
mempalace SKILL, the openclaw SKILL, tools/save.md, the three
benchmarks docs, and the corresponding website mirrors.
Earlier commit fixed ruff lint but missed the formatter check.
This applies `ruff format` — adds standard PEP8 blank lines between
functions, splits one inline list. No behavior change.
Verified: both `ruff format --check` and `ruff check` pass cleanly.
Tool still renders correctly.
Addresses CI lint feedback on PR #1391. No behavior change.
- Split `import json, sys` into separate lines (E401)
- Split chained `print(...); sys.exit(1)` into two lines (E702, two occurrences)
- Split inline `if ts: stamps.append(ts)` into two lines (E701)
Verified: `ruff check tools/render_jsonl.py` reports "All checks passed!"
Tool still renders correctly (3 turns from a real JSONL test, identical output to pre-fix).
Adds a brief [!IMPORTANT] callout at the top of the README pointing
users to the urgent announcement at #1388. Claude Code auto-deletes
local JSONL transcripts after 30 days; users without the auto-save
hooks wired are losing transcript data off the rolling window.
Ships 4 small standalone tools at tools/:
- backup_claude_jsonls.sh — rsync ~/.claude/projects/ to a safe folder
- render_jsonl.py — convert JSONL transcripts to readable text
- find_orphan_claude_jsonls.sh — scan backup locations for orphan
Claude Code transcripts (multi-line shape detection + topic preview)
- save.md — Claude Code slash command for manual /save into MemPalace
Tools verified by independent agent against v3.3.4 source.
Read-only on user data. POSIX bash + Python stdlib only.
