MIRA – Year-End RC: Stable Self-Model and HUD Architecture

Hi all, thank you all for the OUTPOURING of support for the MIRA project over the past few weeks. It trips me out that people are creating discussions, lodging bugs for me to fix, and even proposing feature improvements!

This release represents focused work on MIRA's relationship with self, time, and context. Since the original 1.0.0 release generic OpenAI/local providers have full feature parity with the native Anthropic format, the working_memory has been modified so that the model receives a HUD (for lack of a better) word in a sliding assistant message that contains reminders and relevant memories, and adjustments to the context window to better articulate the passage of time between messages.

In the 1.0.0 release I did not realize the percentage of users who would be operating the application totally offline. Significant improvements have been made on this front and now has rock offline/self-hosted solid reliability.

Also, since the original 1.0.0 release I have switched to a AGPL 3.0 open-source license.

Various other improvements have been made and are contained in the release notes for releases 2025.12.30-feat and 2025.12.24.

Thank you all again for all of the feedback. It is wildly satisfying to work on a project so diligently for so long and then have it embraced by the community. Keep the feature requests comin'!
