+> 🆕 **v1.3.0** — retrieval that follows the graph: live decisions outrank superseded ones, human-vouched outrank drafts, and a query that hits history surfaces the topic's *current* decision (Recall@10 90→100% on the committed golden set). Plus `hunch now` + the roadmap-as-proposed-decisions, session-deduped hook grounding (~100× smaller on repeats), content-matched blocking gates, and duplicate auto-drafts skipped before the LLM is called.
