- 接入方式：网关是独立进程 openviking-gateway（默认端口 1935），位于客户端和模型服务之间。客户端只改两项：base URL 指向网关，模型服务的 API key 换成网关 key。网关支持 Anthropic Messages、OpenAI Chat Completions 和携带完整历史的 OpenAI…
- 记忆注入：会话开头加入用户 profile 以及记忆、skill 目录；每条新用户消息先检索 OpenViking，再把相关记忆附在这条消息末尾。之后的请求会逐字节回放已注入的内容，provider 的 prompt cache 和 Claude thinking 签名因此保持有效（#5625）。
- 保存与压缩：对话保存到 OpenViking session（名为 gateway-…），由 OpenViking 抽取新记忆；网关新建的 session 关闭 Working Memory。对话接近模型上下文窗口（默认 90%）时，由同一模型写一份有长度上限的摘要，替换切点之前的历史（#5625）。
- OpenViking 工具：网关自己执行 OpenViking MCP 工具（名称加 openviking 前缀），三种协议都支持，客户端无需声明这些工具。新建的 context profile 默认只勾选只读工具；remember、write、edit、addresource、addskill、forget、setacl…
- 工具循环默认不设上限：网关内部的 OpenViking 工具循环默认不限轮数、总时长和 token，模型可以一直调用工具直到完成，流式请求中用户可随时中止。context profile 中的 toolmaxrounds、tooltotalseconds、tooltotaltokens 默认为空（不限），需要时可设上限；单次调用超时 tooltimeoutseconds（30…
- 管理：Studio 新增 Gateway 页面（Overview、Upstreams、Profiles、Keys、Requests、Connect），账号管理员在这里管理上游、context profile 和网关 key；服务端新增管理代理 /api/v1/admin/gateway/，删除用户或账号时会一并清除网关数据（#5625）。Connect 页为 pi、OpenCode、DSH…
- 检索与排序：每条查询改为一次全局向量召回，再按模式统一 rerank，移除目录递归与父级分数传播，评分阈值在 rerank 之后应用（#5450）；移除热度加权及 retrieval.hotnessalpha（#5454）；find / search 新增事件时间衰减排序参数 eventstimedecayprotection（#5214）；search 新增…
- 文件系统与知识整理：ls / tree 返回 hasmore 分页状态（#5330）；tree 支持 directoriesonly 目录过滤和 L0/L1 展示（#5334）；ls 支持 includeabstract / includeoverview（#5434）；ov compile --skill memory 对记忆目录就地去重、合并与规范化（#5178）；reindex…
- MCP、权限与 Studio：MCP 工具声明行为注解（#5075），整次调用失败时返回 isError: true（#5078）；新增 listusers、listgroups、getacl、setacl 工具，write / addresource 支持 acl 参数（#5466）；账号变更缺少注册表基线时拒绝写入，避免覆盖已有账号（#5483）；ovcli.conf 接受…
- 模型与向量服务：gpt-6 及之后的 OpenAI 模型按推理模型处理，修复 session commit 返回 400（#5398）；火山、Ark 媒体响应和 Anthropic（LiteLLM）支持透传额外请求体（#5432、#5440、#5447）；Gemini 异步客户端按请求创建，修复 attached to a different loop（#5428）；Jina…
- Agent 插件：采集过滤统一为「清洗 → 过滤 → 截断」，pi / Codex / DSH / OpenCode / Claude Code 共用（#5359、#5375）；Claude Code 与 Codex 召回钩子转发 recallExcludeUris（#5407），pi 支持 recallExcludeUris /…
- 安装：安装器只从发布渠道安装，不再 git clone，改动前先列出并确认（#5464）；安装包改由文档站下载，docs.openviking.net 与 docs.openviking.ai 谁先响应用谁（#5477、#5487）；默认同时安装 ov CLI（#5498）；先询问语言并清理旧安装器遗留（#5490）；指南与插件 README 的安装入口统一为…
