API
POST /query/temporal
Temporal query constrains retrieval to explicit time windows for timeline-sensitive reasoning.
When to use
Use temporal query when users ask what was true at a specific time, or when you need only the most recent period of activity.
This endpoint is useful for compliance, debugging, and user-facing activity summaries.
Window controls
- Window boundaries are inclusive.
- Out-of-window memories are excluded before final ranking.
- Temporal filters combine with kind filters if provided.

}Interpretation
Temporal windows answer a different question than decay. Decay softly biases relevance toward freshness, while windows enforce hard time boundaries.
