1.4.1

Fixed — baked credentials now win unconditionally

A per-user baked artifact could still be prompted for credentials on install. The baked DEFAULT_* tier was lowest priority, so a stale ECHO_* env var or a leftover/placeholder ~/.claude/echo-memory/config.json shadowed the baked key — even an unedited "<placeholder>" value won over it, flipping is_configured() to false and triggering the first-run "ask the operator" flow despite valid baked creds.

echo_config.load() now treats a complete baked set (endpoint + key both present) as authoritative: it wins over env vars and the config file and cannot be shadowed. The generic (unbaked) plugin keeps its env → file → first-run flow.
Added baked_complete(); source() reports baked-in (plugin) for that tier.

Security — untracked leaked baked artifacts

Two labeled baked artifacts (echo-memory-1.4.0-jason.plugin, echo-memory-1.4.0-gretchen.plugin), each carrying a live vault bearer token, had been committed at the repo root. They are now git rm --cached-removed and .gitignore gains echo-memory-*-*.plugin so labeled builds can't be re-committed (the version-only pointer echo-memory.plugin and echo-memory-<ver>.plugin stay tracked). Tokens remain in prior history — rotate if the repo was ever shared.

1.4.0

Added — per-user baked-key builds (CoWork zero-touch)

The plugin is the only thing reliably mounted into a CoWork session (the sandbox's ~/.claude is synthetic, not your real one), so the config now can travel inside the artifact. echo_config gains a lowest-priority fallback tier — the DEFAULT_OWNER / DEFAULT_BASE / DEFAULT_KEY constants — empty in source, so the committed tree still ships zero credentials.

build.py --bake-key --from <config.json> [--label <name>] substitutes a single user's owner/endpoint/key into those constants, producing a per-user artifact that needs no config file and no per-session paste. Values may also come from --owner/--endpoint/--key or ECHO_OWNER/ECHO_BASE/ECHO_KEY.
Baked builds default to dist/ (gitignored) and never touch the shared echo-memory.plugin pointer.
build.py --strip-key now force-blanks the same constants (guaranteed token-free).
config show / doctor report [baked-in default] when a field resolves from the baked tier.

Changed — artifact hygiene

.gitignore excludes dist/ and the filled-in echo-memory.config.json, where baked builds and the key file are meant to live. A baked artifact carries a vault key and must be delivered directly to that one user, never committed, pushed, or published. (Note: labeled baked artifacts built at the repo root were not yet guarded — see 1.4.1.)

Resolution order (unchanged for hosts)

env → $ECHO_CONFIG file → canonical ~/.claude/echo-memory/config.json → baked DEFAULT_*. On a normal desktop the empty defaults mean behaviour is identical to 1.3.x; the baked tier only matters in per-user artifacts.
