v2.7.0-alpha.10

# 🧠 Claude-Flow v2.7.0-alpha.10: ReasoningBank & Advanced Memory

## 🌟 Major Features

### ✨ **Agentic-Flow Integration (v1.5.13)**
Claude-Flow now integrates **agentic-flow@1.5.13** with a powerful Node.js backend that brings enterprise-grade reasoning and memory capabilities:

- **🔄 Persistent Memory**: All agent memories survive restarts via SQLite (`.swarm/memory.db`)
- **🧠 ReasoningBank**: Pattern-based reasoning system with semantic understanding
- **⚡ Lightning Fast**: 2-3ms query latency for semantic searches
- **🔓 No API Keys Required**: Hash-based embeddings work out-of-the-box

### 🔍 **Semantic Search with MMR Ranking**
Advanced search powered by Maximal Marginal Relevance with 4-factor scoring:

- **40% Semantic Similarity** - Find conceptually related memories
- **20% Recency** - Prioritize recent learnings
- **30% Reliability** - Trust proven patterns
- **10% Diversity** - Discover novel approaches

```bash
# Store and retrieve memories with semantic understanding
npx claude-flow@alpha memory store api_key "REST API configuration" \
  --namespace backend --reasoningbank

npx claude-flow@alpha memory query "API config" \
  --namespace backend --reasoningbank
# ✅ Found 3 results (semantic search) in 2ms
```

### 💾 **Persistent Memory Architecture**
Four specialized database tables power intelligent memory:

| Table | Purpose | Size |
|-------|---------|------|
| **patterns** | Core reasoning patterns | ~50KB each |
| **pattern_embeddings** | 1024-dim semantic vectors | ~350KB each |
| **task_trajectories** | Sequential reasoning steps | Variable |
| **pattern_links** | Causal relationships | Minimal |

### 🎯 **Advanced Reasoning Capabilities**

#### **1. Task Trajectory Tracking**
Records sequential reasoning steps for learning:
```javascript
// Automatically captures agent reasoning flow
[Step 1] → Analyze requirements
[Step 2] → Design architecture  
[Step 3] → Implement solution
[Step 4] → Validate results
```

#### **2. Pattern Linking & Causal Reasoning**
Five relationship types for knowledge graphs:
- **causes** - X leads to Y
- **requires** - X needs Y first
- **conflicts** - X incompatible with Y
- **enhances** - X improves Y
- **alternative** - X substitutes for Y

#### **3. Cognitive Diversity Patterns**
Six reasoning strategies for complex problems:
- **Convergent** - Focus on single best solution
- **Divergent** - Explore multiple possibilities
- **Lateral** - Creative indirect approaches
- **Systems** - Holistic interconnected thinking
- **Critical** - Evaluate and challenge assumptions
- **Adaptive** - Learn and evolve strategies

#### **4. Bayesian Confidence Learning**
Patterns improve over time based on outcomes:
- Initial confidence: 0.5
- Success: +10-20% confidence
- Failure: -10-15% confidence
- Automatic reliability scoring

## ⚡ Performance Characteristics

| Metric | Value | Notes |
|--------|-------|-------|
| **Query Latency** | 2-3ms | Semantic search with hash embeddings |
| **Hash Embedding** | 1ms | Deterministic 1024-dim vectors |
| **OpenAI Embedding** | 50-100ms | Optional enhanced accuracy |
| **Pattern Storage** | 5-10ms | Includes embedding generation |
| **Storage Size** | ~400KB | Per pattern with embedding |

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Install Latest Alpha
```bash
npx claude-flow@alpha init --force
npx claude-flow@alpha --version
# v2.7.0-alpha.10
```

### Try Semantic Memory
```bash
# Store knowledge
npx claude-flow@alpha memory store api_design \
  "Use RESTful patterns with JWT auth" \
  --namespace backend --reasoningbank

# Query semantically
npx claude-flow@alpha memory query "authentication patterns" \
  --namespace backend --reasoningbank
# ✅ Found 1 result: api_design (score: 0.87)

# Check system status
npx claude-flow@alpha memory status --reasoningbank
```

### Works Without API Keys!
Hash-based embeddings provide semantic search with zero configuration:
```bash
# No OPENAI_API_KEY needed!
npx claude-flow@alpha memory query "config" --reasoningbank
# ✅ Uses deterministic 1024-dim hash embeddings
```

### Optional: Enhanced Embeddings
For even better semantic accuracy, add OpenAI API key:
```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY=$YOUR_API_KEY
# Automatically uses text-embedding-3-small (1536 dims)
```

## 🔧 Technical Improvements

### Node.js Backend Replaces WASM
- **Better Performance**: Native SQLite with better-sqlite3
- **Simplified Deployment**: No WASM module loading complexity
- **Enhanced Debugging**: Standard Node.js stack traces
- **Broader Compatibility**: Works in all Node.js environments

### Database Schema
```sql
-- Core pattern storage
CREATE TABLE patterns (
  id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  title TEXT,
  content TEXT,
  namespace TEXT,
  components JSON,
  created_at DATETIME
);

-- Semantic embeddings
CREATE TABLE pattern_embeddings (
  pattern_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  embedding BLOB,  -- 1024-dim float32 array
  embedding_type TEXT
);

-- Sequential reasoning
CREATE TABLE task_trajectories (
  id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  pattern_id TEXT,
  step_number INTEGER,
  action TEXT,
  result TEXT
);

-- Knowledge graph links
CREATE TABLE pattern_links (
  source_pattern_id TEXT,
  target_pattern_id TEXT,
  link_type TEXT,
  strength REAL
);
```

## 📊 Integration with Claude-Flow Agents

All 64+ agents now benefit from persistent memory:

```bash
# Agents automatically coordinate via ReasoningBank
npx claude-flow@alpha swarm init --topology mesh
npx claude-flow@alpha swarm spawn researcher "analyze API patterns"
# Researcher stores findings in ReasoningBank

npx claude-flow@alpha swarm spawn coder "implement REST API"
# Coder retrieves researcher's findings automatically

npx claude-flow@alpha swarm status
# All agent learnings persist across sessions
```

## 🐛 Bug Fixes

While this release focuses on new capabilities, it also includes critical fixes:

- **Semantic Search Results**: Fixed parameter mapping and result structure
