+- Applied the configured Agent Name to the window title, options/chat labels, start/stop/status text, prompt placeholder, desktop launcher branding, runtime identity, and system prompt.
+- Strengthened persistent-memory guidance so JARVIS saves concise project continuity checkpoints for durable decisions, requirements, discoveries, blockers, implementation state, and next steps during ongoing work.
+- Updated README and Updates/version.json for the v2.5 release.
+- Public Release v2.5

 ## Logging
 
 JARVIS keeps diagnostics in rotating log files. Diagnostic output can be enabled for terminal visibility while continuing to log in the background.
 
+The Memory Vault records daily interaction activity and is instructed to save concise continuity checkpoints during meaningful project work so durable decisions, discoveries, blockers, and next steps can survive across sessions.

 Logs are intended to make runtime, research, service, and failure investigation easier without requiring diagnostic mode to remain enabled.
