What's in this release

This release bundles the full system plus a live agent snapshot captured April 13 2026 at ~08:01 UTC — Cedar, Helix, and Titan mid-session after 5+ hours of continuous autonomous operation.

Two steps to run

1. Extract the zip and run install.bat — builds the Docker image, starts the container, pulls Ollama models
2. Run restore.bat — loads the Cedar/Helix/Titan agent state into the running container and restarts it

After step 2, agents resume exactly where they left off.

What's new in v5.2.0

Anthropic 401 spam fix

reasoning_layer.py now uses a session-level flag to stop repeated auth attempts after the first confirmed failure. Previously generated 6 × 401 errors per cycle when credentials were invalid.

Embedding 503 retry + dedicated embed host

semantic_memory.py, capability_graph.py, tools/semantic.py now retry on 503 with backoff. Added OLLAMA_EMBED_HOST env var to route embedding calls to a separate Ollama instance — eliminates contention with generation traffic on the same GPU.

Ollama error propagation

api/server.py now returns 503 when Ollama sends an error in the response body instead of silently dropping it. Also fixed a bug where setting temperature overwrote num_ctx in the options dict.

Snapshot state at capture

| Agent | Role | Active Goal |
|-------|------|-------------|
| Cedar | Analyst | Synthesizing cognitive_resonance_dampener (87% complete) |
| Helix | Builder | 3rd attempt at patching nonexistent /agentOS/core/ path |
| Titan | Scout | Building context_window_pressure_estimator from batch_llm.py |

Session context: 54 monitoring entries. 37 proposals in queue, none approved. All production files intact despite multiple targeted modification attempts. Goal completion mechanism marks goals done regardless of outcome — 5 goals completed this cycle with zero production changes.
