 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.14.0] - 2026-02-18
+
+### Added
+- **Per-task file architecture (v2)** - Tasks are now individual `.md` files instead of embedded YAML
+  - `brainfile init` creates v2 structure: `brainfile.md` (config), `tasks/`, `logs/`, `state.json`
+  - `brainfile migrate --v2` converts v1 boards to v2 per-task files (creates `.v1.bak` backup)
+  - All existing commands auto-detect v1 vs v2 and handle both transparently
+- **`brainfile complete`** - Move task from `tasks/` to `logs/` with `completedAt` timestamp
+  - Strips `column` and `position` fields from completed task
+  - `complete_task` MCP tool for parity
+- **`brainfile log`** - View and manage task history
+  - `brainfile log -t <id>` - View a completed task's log
+  - `brainfile log --search <query>` - Search across all completed task logs
+  - `brainfile log --recent` - List recently completed tasks
+  - `brainfile log note -t <id> "<message>"` - Append timestamped entry to any task's `## Log` section
+  - `search_logs` and `append_log` MCP tools for parity
+- **`brainfile search`** - Search across active tasks and completed logs with relevance scoring
+  - `search_tasks` MCP tool updated for v2
+
+### Changed
+- **All MCP tools have v2 support** - 29 tools detect v1/v2 and handle per-task files correctly
+  - Uses `@brainfile/core` as single source of truth for all task I/O operations
+  - CLI is a thin wrapper over core (no duplicated parsing/serialization logic)
+- **`brainfile init` defaults to v2** - Creates per-task file directory structure
+- Upgraded to @brainfile/core@^0.11.0
+

 # @brainfile/cli
 
-**Task management for your terminal.** A full kanban board that lives in a markdown file.
-
-- Modern, borderless TUI optimized for information density
-- Vim-style navigation with intuitive keybindings
-- CLI commands for scripting and automation
-- MCP server for AI assistant integration
-
-## Installation
+**The official CLI for Brainfile.** Manage tasks, contracts, and ADRs directly from your terminal.
 
-```bash
-npm install -g @brainfile/cli
-```
+Designed for developers who want a local-first, file-based task management system that plays nicely with AI agents.
 
-Verify installation:
+## Install
 
 ```bash
-brainfile --version
+npm i -g @brainfile/cli
 ```
 
 ## Quick Start
 
+Initialize a new brainfile in your project root:
+
 ```bash
-# Initialize a new brainfile
 brainfile init
-
-# Launch interactive TUI
-brainfile
-
-# Or use CLI commands
-brainfile list                                    # List all tasks
-brainfile add --title "My task" --column todo     # Add a task
-brainfile move --task task-1 --column done        # Move a task
 ```
 
-## Commands
+This creates the standard v2 structure:
+- `.brainfile/brainfile.md` (Configuration, rules, definitions)
+- `.brainfile/board/` (Active tasks)
+- `.brainfile/logs/` (Completed tasks)
+
+The board comes pre-configured with `To Do` and `In Progress` columns.
 
-### Terminal UI (TUI)
+## Core Workflow
 
-Launch an interactive task board:
+### Add Tasks
+Create new tasks with rich metadata.
 
 ```bash
-brainfile                    # Auto-detect (prefers .brainfile/brainfile.md)
-brainfile ./path/to/file.md  # Open specific file
-```
+# Basic task
+brainfile add --title "Implement login" --column todo
 
-**Task Card Layout:**
-```
-  ▌ CRIT  Implement user authentication flow
-    [1/5] · Nov 30 · #auth #security                     task-39
+# Full featured task
+brainfile add \
+  --title "Refactor database layer" \
+  --type task \
+  --column todo \
+  --priority high \
+  --assignee @josh \
+  --tags "refactor,db" \
+  --parent epic-123
 
-    HIGH  Dashboard performance optimization
-    [0/4] · Dec 4 · #performance #frontend               task-40
+# Create a parent with children in one shot
+brainfile add -c todo -t "Auth overhaul" \
+  --child "OAuth flow" --child "Session hardening"
 ```
 
-- `▌` indicator shows selected task
-- Priority badge (CRIT/HIGH/MED/LOW) leads each row
-- `[X/Y]` shows subtask progress
-- Due dates with urgency coloring (red if overdue, yellow if soon)
-- Tags and task ID complete the metadata row

-### lint
+## ADR Promotion
 
-Validate and auto-fix brainfile syntax:
+Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) are first-class citizens. You can promote an accepted ADR to a global rule that agents must follow.
 
 ```bash
-brainfile lint              # Check for issues
-brainfile lint --fix        # Auto-fix issues
-brainfile lint --check      # Exit with error code (for CI)
-```
-
-**What it checks:**
-- YAML syntax errors
-- Unquoted strings with colons (auto-fixable)
-- Duplicate column IDs
-- Missing required fields
-
----
+# 1. Create an ADR
+brainfile add -t "Use Postgres for all user data" --type adr -c proposed
 
-### template
+# 2. Accept it (move to accepted column)
+brainfile move -t adr-1 -c accepted
 
-Create tasks from templates:
-
-```bash
-brainfile template --list
-brainfile template --use bug-report --title "Login fails"
-brainfile template --use feature-request --title "Dark mode"
+# 3. Promote to a rule
+brainfile adr promote -t adr-1 --category always
 ```
 
-**Built-in Templates:**
-- `bug-report` - Bug tracking with triage steps
-- `feature-request` - Feature proposals
-- `refactor` - Code refactoring tasks
+**Categories:**
+- `always`: Strict rules (e.g., "Always use TypeScript")
+- `never`: Prohibitions (e.g., "Never commit secrets")
+- `prefer`: Guidelines (e.g., "Prefer functional components")
+- `context`: informational context
 
----
+Promoted rules are added to `.brainfile/brainfile.md` and injected into agent prompts.
