+### v5.1.0 — Incremental Implementation & Knowledge Base Integration
+
+Born from real-world experience: AI agents that implement everything at once produce cascading errors. This release makes **step-by-step implementation** and **knowledge base usage** mandatory for all agents.
+
+**New Tier 1 Rule: `incremental-implementation`**
+- Decompose, implement ONE step, test/verify, repeat
+- **3-attempt restart rule**: if stuck 3 times on the same error, STOP, record anti-pattern, restart from scratch
+- "The line between persistence and stubbornness is thin"
+
+**Knowledge Base as Mandatory Workflow**
+- All agents now check `.rulebook/knowledge/` BEFORE implementing
+- All agents record patterns/anti-patterns AFTER completing
+- Code reviewers validate against known patterns and anti-patterns
+- Project managers track KB health and remind agents to record learnings
+
+**41 New Memory Store Tests**
+- Comprehensive CRUD, FTS5 search, sessions, persistence, code nodes
+- sql.js fallback validation (for environments without native build tools)
+
