AI Summary

A critical hotfix addresses a crash occurring on the first boot of the agentmemory daemon by correcting how missing manifest values are handled during the sharded index load process.

Key Highlights

Fix for first boot crash (TypeError)
Improved sharded index load path
Self-healing index rebuild on debounced save

New Features

Enhanced error handling for undefined/null manifest values

Full Release Notes

Hotfix on top of v0.9.25. Closes [#797](https://github.com/rohitg00/agentmemory/issues/797).

## Fixed

- **First boot crash: `TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'v')`** (#797). The sharded index load path checked `manifest.value !== null` before forwarding, but some iii-state adapters return `undefined` (not `null`) for a missing key. `loadManifestData(undefined)` then crashed on `undefined.v`. Now treats both null + undefined + non-object values as 'no manifest' and falls through to the legacy load path.

Self-healing was already in place — the next debounced save rebuilt a fresh manifest — but the crash on first boot scared every fresh upgrader.

## Upgrade

```
npm install -g @agentmemory/agentmemory@0.9.26
```

If you already saw the warning on v0.9.25 and the daemon kept running, you're fine — the index was already rebuilt. v0.9.26 just makes the first-run boot quiet.
