v2.0.6

Project Renamed to CowAgent

The repository has been officially renamed from chatgpt-on-wechat to CowAgent, evolving into a full-featured AI Agent assistant.

• New URL: github.com/zhayujie/CowAgent — GitHub auto-redirects the old URL
• CLI commands, config files, and documentation links remain compatible — no extra steps needed

📚 Knowledge Base

New personal knowledge base system — Agent can autonomously build and maintain structured knowledge, retrieving it on demand during conversations:

• Index-driven self-organizing structure: Knowledge is stored in knowledge/ directory, auto-organized by category, with each knowledge page as an independent Markdown file
• Auto-write: Send files, links, or other knowledge to the Agent, or it will automatically create/update knowledge pages when valuable information is identified in conversation
• Hybrid retrieval: Supports keyword full-text search and vector semantic retrieval, loading relevant knowledge on demand during conversations
• Visualization: File tree browsing and knowledge graph visualization, with in-document links for direct navigation
• Command management: /knowledge for stats, /knowledge list for directory structure, /knowledge on|off to toggle

🌙 Deep Dream Memory Distillation

A new memory consolidation mechanism that automatically distills scattered conversation memories into refined long-term memory daily:

• Three-tier memory flow: Conversation context (short-term) → Daily memory (mid-term) → MEMORY.md (long-term), forming a complete memory lifecycle
• Auto-distillation: Runs daily at 23:55, reads the day's daily memory and MEMORY.md, performs deduplication, merging, and pruning via LLM, outputting a refined MEMORY.md
• Dream diary: Each distillation generates a narrative-style dream diary recording discoveries and insights, stored in memory/dreams/
• Manual trigger: /memory dream [N] to manually trigger with configurable lookback days (default 3, max 30), with chat notification on completion
• Web console: Memory management page now includes a "Dream Diary" tab for browsing all dream diaries

Docs: Deep Dream

🧠 Smart Context Compression

When context exceeds limits, trimmed portions are summarized by LLM and asynchronously injected to maintain conversation continuity:

• Async LLM summary: Trimmed messages are summarized into key information by LLM, written to daily memory files and injected into retained context
• Multi-model compatible: Uses the primary model for summarization, compatible with Claude, OpenAI, MiniMax and other model message format requirements

💬 Web Console Upgrades

Multiple enhancements to the Web console:

• Multi-session management: Create and switch between independent sessions, sidebar session list with auto-generated and manually editable titles
• Password protection: Set a login password via web_console_password config option
• Deep thinking: Display model thinking process in Web console, controlled by enable_thinking config option
• Scheduled push: Scheduled task results can be pushed to Web console
• Message copy: One-click copy of raw Markdown content from AI reply bubbles
• Language toggle: Top language switch button now shows current language for more intuitive interaction

🤖 Model Updates
