+# Changelog
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [2.5.4] - 2026-06-22
+
+### Documentation
+
+- README: documented collection filtering (`-c` semantics), the `collection
+  show`/`include`/`exclude`/`update-cmd` subcommands, the `--intent`/`--no-rerank`/
+  `-C`/`--full-path` search flags, the `--format <kind>` output selector (with the
+  legacy `--json`/`--csv`/`--md`/`--xml`/`--files` booleans noted as aliases),
+  `vector-search`/`deep-search` aliases, embed
+  memory flags (`--max-docs-per-batch`/`--max-batch-mb`), a sample `--explain`
+  score trace, the `qmd doctor`/`qmd init` commands, the `get` `:from:count`
+  suffix and `--no-line-numbers`, an MCP tool parameter reference, and a
+  Benchmarking section for `qmd bench`.
+- docs/SYNTAX.md: removed the non-existent `q` MCP parameter example (the `query`
+  tool and REST endpoint accept only the `searches` array) and added a Scoping
+  section.
+- README: removed the misleading `qmd update --pull` example. The `--pull` flag is
+  parsed but never consumed (`updateCollections()` ignores it); the real mechanism
+  for running `git pull` before re-indexing is a per-collection `update` command,
+  set via `qmd collection update-cmd`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- MCP server instructions now tell agents to scope with the plural `collections`
+  parameter (matching the schema). The previous singular `collection` hint led
+  agents to pass a parameter that Zod silently strips, producing unscoped results.
+  The `get` instruction line also now documents the full `file.md:from:count`
+  range suffix instead of only the single-line `file.md:100` offset.
+
+- Filesystem paths with special characters (`#`, `&`, spaces, `[]`, `()`, etc.)
+  now round-trip correctly through index → search → get. Previously
+  `reindexCollection` called `handelize()` on relative paths before storing
+  them, turning `# Meeting - 234232 3432 __ 5.md` into
+  `Meeting-234232-3432-5.md` and making `qmd get <actual-path>`,
+  `qmd get --full-path`, and `qmd ls` return dead or garbled paths. Paths are
+  now stored verbatim. Existing indexes auto-migrate on the next `qmd update`.
+
+- FTS5 search now correctly matches dotted version strings like `2026.4.10`. The
+  `porter unicode61` tokenizer splits on dots (storing `2026`, `4`, `10` as
+  separate tokens), but the query sanitizer was stripping dots and producing
+  `2026410` which never matched. Dotted terms are now split and ANDed together
+  so version-string searches work as expected (#563).
+- HTTP REST endpoints `/query` and `/search` now return `qmd://collection/path`
+  URIs in the `file` field, matching the output format used by the CLI and MCP
+  resource URIs. Previously the raw `displayPath` (`collection/path`) was
+  returned without the scheme prefix (#576).
+- The embed session `maxDuration` is now env-configurable via
+  `QMD_EMBED_MAX_DURATION_MS` (default: 30 min). This prevents large-corpus
+  embeddings from being aborted by the hardcoded 30-minute ceiling (#673).
+
+## [2.5.3] - 2026-05-28
+
+### Features
+
+- `qmd get` now accepts a `:from:count` suffix on a path or docid (e.g.
+  `qmd get "#abc123:120:40"` reads 40 lines starting at line 120). Explicit
+  `--from`/`-l` flags still override the suffix. The MCP `get` tool accepts the
+  same suffix.
+- `qmd get` and `qmd multi-get` are now **line-numbered by default** and print
+  the document's `#docid` and `qmd://` path in the output header. Disable line
+  numbers with `--no-line-numbers`. The MCP `get`/`multi_get` tools default
+  `lineNumbers` to `true` to match.
+- `qmd multi-get` now includes the `#docid` in every output format
+  (`--md`, `--json`, `--csv`, `--xml`, `--files`, and the default CLI view),
+  consistent with `qmd search`.
+- `qmd get` and `qmd multi-get` accept `--full-path`, which replaces the
+  `qmd://` path + `#docid` with the document's on-disk filesystem path (handy for
+  piping into `Read`/`Edit`/an editor). Falls back to the canonical `qmd://` +
+  docid header when the file no longer exists on disk.
+- `qmd search` / `qmd query` now show a clearer hit identifier: the default CLI
+  view (and the new `**file:**` line in `--md` output) always prints the full
+  `qmd://collection/path` URI so you can pipe it straight back into `qmd get`.
+- `qmd search` / `qmd query` accept `--full-path` with the same semantics as
+  `qmd get`: the result label becomes the file's on-disk path — `./`-prefixed
+  relative path when the file lives in a subfolder of `$PWD`, absolute realpath
+  otherwise — and the per-result `#docid` is dropped because the path is the
+  identifier. The leading `./` is intentional so the output is unambiguously a
+  filesystem path. Applies to all output formats.
+- `qmd get` and `qmd multi-get` now also use the `./`-prefixed convention when
+  `--full-path` renders a path under `$PWD`, matching `search`/`query`.
+- New `--format <kind>` flag selects the output format (`cli` | `json` | `csv` |
+  `md` | `xml` | `files`) for `search`, `query`, and `multi-get`. The legacy
+  boolean aliases (`--json`/`--csv`/`--md`/`--xml`/`--files`) still work but are
+  no longer in `--help`; prefer `--format`.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Launcher: source-mode runner selection now prefers Node + tsx over Bun when
+  both `package-lock.json` and `bun.lock` are present in the package root,
+  mirroring the dist-mode "npm priority" rule. Fixes pnpm-global installs that
+  copy the entire working tree (including `.git` and `bun.lock`) into the
+  install dir and previously routed through Bun, causing ABI mismatches with
+  the Node-built `better-sqlite3` / `sqlite-vec` native modules.
+- Darwin Metal: llama-using commands (`query`, `vsearch`, `embed`) no longer
+  dump a multi-kB GGML/Metal backtrace at process exit even when output
+  succeeded. The libggml-metal static `ggml_metal_device` destructor asserts
+  `[rsets->data count] == 0` during `__cxa_finalize_ranges`, but the
+  buffer-free path never calls the symmetric `ggml_metal_device_rsets_rm`
+  to remove released rsets from the device collection (upstream
+  ggml-org/llama.cpp#22593, one-line fix open as PR #22595). The assertion
+  only fires when `process.exit()` skips Node's `beforeExit` hook, which is
+  what node-llama-cpp uses to auto-dispose Metal contexts. Primary fix:
+  `finishSuccessfulCliCommand` now sets `process.exitCode = 0` and returns
+  instead of calling `process.exit(0)`, so `beforeExit` fires and the native
+  binding cleans up before libc's static destructor runs. Defense-in-depth:
+  the launcher (`bin/qmd`) and the npm test driver (`scripts/test-all.mjs`
+  + the `test:bun` / `test:unit` package.json scripts) also set
+  `GGML_METAL_NO_RESIDENCY=1` on darwin before spawning node/bun, covering
+  error paths and tests that still terminate via `process.exit()`. The env
+  var must be set before node/bun start — libggml-metal reads it via libc
+  `getenv` at module-load time, and Bun does not propagate `process.env`
+  mutations to libc `setenv` — so it lives in the launcher rather than in
+  test-preload. Residency sets give no measurable speedup for QMD's
+  short-lived CLI workflow (benchmarked on M3 Pro). Opt back in with
+  `QMD_METAL_KEEP_RESIDENCY=1` for long-lived qmd processes (e.g. the MCP
+  daemon may benefit on hot reload) or to triage the upstream fix.
+  `qmd doctor` reports the mitigation state. Minimal reproduction:
+  `scripts/repro-metal-rsets-crash.mjs`.
+
+### Docs
+
+- qmd skill: emphasize reading line ranges with `get`'s built-in
+  `:from:count` suffix / `--from`/`-l` flags instead of piping through
+  `sed`/`head`/`tail`; cite the docid and line numbers now present in retrieval
+  output; and author structured `intent:`/`lex:`/`vec:`/`hyde:` queries yourself
+  rather than relying on built-in query expansion.
+
+## [2.5.2] - 2026-05-22
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Launcher: Rewrite `bin/qmd` as a Node-based shebang polyglot to fix global npm installation execution failures on Windows (#668 / #452), while supporting seamless fallback to Bun in Node-less environments.
+
+
+## [2.5.1] - 2026-05-20
+
+### Changes
+
+- Release: publish from GitHub Actions via npm Trusted Publishing/OIDC instead of a long-lived `NPM_TOKEN` secret.
+
+## [2.5.0] - 2026-05-19
+
+### Changes
+
+- Dependencies: update core SQLite/config/chunking packages (`better-sqlite3`, `yaml`, `web-tree-sitter`, `tree-sitter-go`, and `tree-sitter-python`) while keeping incompatible `zod`, `tsx`, and `vitest` majors pinned.
+- Agent skills: add `qmd skills list|get|path` to serve version-matched runtime skill instructions from the installed CLI, and make `qmd skill install` write a stable discovery stub so installed agent skills do not go stale after QMD upgrades.
+- CLI: add `qmd doctor` for index/runtime diagnostics, including SQLite/sqlite-vec versions, embedding fingerprint freshness, mixed-fingerprint detection, safe legacy fingerprint adoption, and content-hash sampling.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Launcher: prefer runnable TypeScript source in git checkouts even when ignored `dist/` artifacts exist, while packaged installs continue to run `dist/`.
+- GPU: keep node-llama-cpp's documented `gpu: "auto"` initialization as the primary path, then perform no-build packaged CUDA/Vulkan/Metal probes only if auto falls back to CPU.
+- CLI: move GPU/CPU runtime diagnostics out of `qmd status`; use `qmd doctor` for device probing and related environment guidance.
+- CLI: point unexpected command/setup failures toward `qmd doctor` so diagnostics are the default next step when QMD behaves incorrectly.
+- Doctor: explicitly warn when `content_vectors` contains multiple non-empty embedding fingerprint names, with the per-fingerprint document/chunk breakdown.
+- Embed: make the TTY progress line label byte-based input progress explicitly, show embedded chunks as a count, and shorten the displayed model name.
+- Embed: retain per-chunk failure details, retry failed chunks after later successful embeds and again when no other chunks remain, clear recovered errors, and cap retries to avoid endless loops.
+- Tests: expand the container smoke harness to cover npm-global, npx-style, and Bun-global install scenarios, always checking auto and `QMD_FORCE_CPU=1` doctor modes, with opt-in tiny `qmd embed` and GPU probe runs for supported container runtimes.
+- Embedding: fingerprint vector metadata using the active embedding model and formatting/chunking parameters so stale vectors are treated as pending after search semantics change. Legacy `content_vectors` columns are migrated lazily on first vector-health/write use to preserve fast QMD startup.
+
+- Skill: expand the packaged QMD skill with retrieval-first workflows, structured query examples, wiki/source collection guidance, and safe fallbacks when model-backed search is unavailable.
+- Tests: make `bun run test` execute the local unit suite under both Node/Vitest and Bun (`test:node` + `test:bun`) so runtime-specific regressions are caught before CI.
+- Model config: centralize embedding/rerank/generation model resolution so `qmd embed`, `status`, `query`, `vsearch`, `pull`, SDK vector search, and `bench` use the same active `.qmd/index.yaml` model hints and environment fallbacks.
+- GPU/status: `qmd status` now uses the same embedding model identity as `qmd embed` when computing pending embeddings, so URI-backed embeddings are not incorrectly reported as pending under the legacy `embeddinggemma` alias.
+- GPU status: `qmd status` now always shows GPU mode/configuration without unsafe native probing, and CPU-fallback warnings point to `QMD_STATUS_DEVICE_PROBE=1 qmd status` for an actual backend probe. The no-GPU warning is emitted once per process instead of once per LLM instance during benchmarks.
+- GPU: add `QMD_FORCE_CPU=1` / `--no-gpu` to bypass CUDA/Vulkan/Metal probing entirely, and route native llama.cpp stdout noise to stderr so JSON output stays parseable during search/query commands.
+- Snippet line numbers: `qmd_query` (MCP), HTTP `/query`, and `qmd query`
+  (CLI JSON output and snippet headers) now return absolute source-file
+  line numbers instead of chunk-local ones, so the `line` field can be
+  passed back to `qmd_get` as `fromLine` without a separate lookup.
+  Snippet selection remains scoped to the best matching chunk
+  (preserves #149).
+- CLI: `qmd query --full` now emits the full document body in all output
+  formats (json, csv, md, xml), restoring the documented behavior of the
+  flag. Previously it returned only the best matching chunk (~3.6KB max
+  per result). Output payload for `--full` queries is now proportional
+  to total document size.
+- macOS Metal: `qmd query --json` now flushes successful JSON output and uses a safe immediate-exit path on Darwin to avoid ggml Metal finalizer aborts; other commands still dispose LLM contexts/models before the llama runtime. #368
+- Embedding: require complete chunk coverage before treating a document as
+  embedded, remove partial vectors when chunk/session failures leave a
+  document incomplete, and keep `qmd status` pending counts honest after
+  interrupted long embed runs. #637 #378
+- Embedding: `qmd embed -c <collection>` now scopes pending-doc selection
+  to the requested collection instead of embedding global pending work.
+  Scoped `--force` clears only collection-owned vectors, preserves shared
+  hashes referenced by sibling collections, and drops `vectors_vec` only
+  when the scoped clear empties all vectors.
+- Hybrid search: weight RRF lists by query type so original FTS and original vector evidence get the intended 2x boost, instead of accidentally boosting the first lexical expansion. #591
+- MCP: seed llama.cpp/GGML quiet env vars before launching `qmd mcp` so native logs cannot pollute stdio JSON-RPC framing. #593
+- CLI: remove CommonJS `require()` calls from ESM index path normalization so `qmd --index <path>` no longer crashes with `ERR_AMBIGUOUS_MODULE_SYNTAX` on Node 22+. #634
+- Windows CUDA: serialize llama.cpp embedding/reranking contexts by default to avoid intermittent `ggml-cuda.cu:98` crashes in `qmd query`; set `QMD_EMBED_PARALLELISM` to opt back into parallel contexts if your driver is stable. #519
+- MCP: make `qmd mcp --index <name>` use the selected index for both foreground and daemon HTTP servers instead of falling back to the default store. #343
+- Embedding: respect `QMD_EMBED_MODEL` consistently for vector indexing and vector-backed search, with default-model fallback when unset.
+- Config: use one home-directory resolver for YAML config and the default SQLite cache path, avoiding Windows CLI/MCP split-brain when `HOME` is unset.
+- GPU: respect explicit `QMD_LLAMA_GPU=metal|vulkan|cuda` backend overrides instead of always using auto GPU selection. #529
+- Fix: preserve original filename case in `handelize()`. The previous
+  `.toLowerCase()` call made indexed paths unreachable on case-sensitive
+  filesystems (Linux). `qmd update` automatically migrates legacy
+  lowercase paths without re-embedding.
+- CLI: make `qmd status` skip native `node-llama-cpp` device probing by
+  default so status stays safe on machines with broken or unsupported GPU
+  drivers. Set `QMD_STATUS_DEVICE_PROBE=1` to opt in.
+- CLI: lazy-load `node-llama-cpp` so lightweight commands such as
+  `qmd status` do not import native ML dependencies or trigger llama.cpp
+  builds on ARM/no-GPU machines. #491
+- Store: keep content rows referenced by inactive documents during orphan
+  cleanup so `qmd update` preserves soft-deleted tombstones for removed
+  files. #585
+- Packaging: install AST grammar WASM packages as required dependencies so
+  Bun global installs include TypeScript/TSX/JavaScript grammars, and add a
+  `smoke:package-grammars` verification command. #595
+- Launcher: add wrapper smoke coverage for scoped package, npm/npx,
+  Homebrew/Linuxbrew, Bun global symlink layouts, and `$BUN_INSTALL`
+  false-positive runtime selection regressions. #351 #353 #354 #356 #358 #359
+
+## [2.1.0] - 2026-04-05
+
+Code files now chunk at function and class boundaries via tree-sitter,
+clickable editor links land you at the right line from search results,
+and per-collection model configuration means you can point different
+collections at different embedding models. 25+ community PRs fix
+embedding stability, BM25 accuracy, and cross-platform launcher issues.
+
+### Changes
+
+- AST-aware chunking for code files via `web-tree-sitter`. Supported
+  languages: TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Go, and Rust. Code files
+  are chunked at function, class, and import boundaries instead of
+  arbitrary text positions. Markdown and unknown file types are unchanged.
+  `--chunk-strategy <auto|regex>` flag on `qmd embed` and `qmd query`
+  (default `regex`). SDK: `chunkStrategy` option on `embed()` and
+  `search()`. `qmd status` shows grammar availability.
+- `qmd bench <fixture.json>` command for search quality benchmarks.
+  Measures precision@k, recall, MRR, and F1 across BM25, vector, hybrid,
+  and full pipeline backends. Ships with an example fixture against
+  the eval-docs test collection. #470 (thanks @jmilinovich)
+- `models:` section in `index.yml` lets you configure `embed`, `rerank`,
+  and `generate` model URIs per collection. Resolution order is
+  config > env var (`QMD_EMBED_MODEL`, `QMD_RERANK_MODEL`,
+  `QMD_GENERATE_MODEL`) > built-in default. #502
+  (thanks @JohnRichardEnders)
+- CLI search output now emits clickable OSC 8 terminal hyperlinks when
+  stdout is a TTY. Links resolve `qmd://` paths to absolute filesystem
+  paths and open in editors via URI templates (default:
+  `vscode://file/{path}:{line}:{col}`). Configure with `QMD_EDITOR_URI`
+  or `editor_uri` in the YAML config. #508 (thanks @danmackinlay)
+- `--no-rerank` flag skips the reranking step in `qmd query` — useful
+  when you want fast results or don't have a GPU. Also exposed as
+  `rerank: false` on the MCP `query` tool. #370 (thanks @mvanhorn),
+  #478 (thanks @zestyboy)
+- ONNX conversion script for deploying embedding models via
+  Transformers.js. #399 (thanks @shreyaskarnik)
+- GitHub Actions workflow to build the Nix flake on Linux and macOS.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Embedding: prevent `qmd embed` from running indefinitely when the
+  embedding loop stalls. #458 (thanks @ccc-fff)
+- Embedding: truncate oversized text before embedding to prevent GGML
+  crash, and bound memory usage during batch embedding. #393
+  (thanks @lskun), #395 (thanks @ProgramCaiCai)
+- Embedding: set explicit embed context size (default 2048, configurable
+  via `QMD_EMBED_CONTEXT_SIZE`) instead of using the model's full
+  window. #500
+- Embedding: error on dimension mismatch instead of silently rebuilding
+  the vec0 table. #501
+- Embedding: handle vec0 `OR REPLACE` limitation in `insertEmbedding`.
+  #456 (thanks @antonio-mello-ai)
+- Embedding: fix model selection when multiple models are configured.
+  #494
+- BM25: correct field weights to include all 3 FTS columns — title,
+  body, and path were not weighted correctly. #462 (thanks @goldsr09)
+- BM25: handle hyphenated tokens in FTS5 lex queries so terms like
+  "real-time" match correctly. #463 (thanks @goldsr09)
+- BM25: preserve underscores in search terms instead of stripping them.
+  #404
+- BM25: use CTE in `searchFTS` to prevent query planner regression with
+  collection filter.
+- Reranker: increase default context size 2048→4096 and make
+  configurable via `QMD_RERANK_CONTEXT_SIZE`. Fix template overhead
+  underestimate 200→512. #453 (thanks @builderjarvis)
+- GPU: catch initialization failures and fall back to CPU instead of
+  crashing.
+- MCP: read version from `package.json` instead of hardcoding. #431
+- MCP: include collection name in status output. #416
+- Multi-get: support brace expansion patterns in glob matching. #424
+- Launcher: prioritize `package-lock.json` to prevent Bun false
+  positive. #385 (thanks @rymalia)
+- Launcher: remove `$BUN_INSTALL` check that caused false Bun detection.
+  #362 (thanks @syedair)
+- Launcher: skip Git Bash path detection on WSL. #371
+  (thanks @oysteinkrog)
+- Model cache: respect `XDG_CACHE_HOME` for model cache directory. #457
+  (thanks @antonio-mello-ai)
+- SQLite: add macOS Homebrew SQLite support for Bun and restore
+  actionable errors. #377 (thanks @serhii12)
+- Pin zod to exact 4.2.1 to fix `tsc` build failure. #382
+  (thanks @rymalia)
+- Preserve dots and original case in `handelize()` — filenames like
+  `MEMORY.md` no longer become `memory-md`. #475 (thanks @alexei-led)
+- Include `line` in `--json` search output so editor integrations can
+  jump directly to `file:line`. #506 (thanks @danmackinlay)
+- Nix: fix paths in flake and make Bun dependency a fixed-output
+  derivation so sandboxed Linux builds work offline. #479
+  (thanks @surma-dump)
+- Sync stale `bun.lock` (`better-sqlite3` 11.x → 12.x). CI and release
+  script now use `--frozen-lockfile` to prevent recurrence. #386
+  (thanks @Mic92)
+- Approve native build scripts in pnpm so `better-sqlite3` and
+  tree-sitter modules compile correctly. Update vitest ^3.0.0 → ^3.2.4.
+
+## [2.0.1] - 2026-03-10
+
+### Changes
+
+- `qmd skill install` copies the packaged QMD skill into
+  `~/.claude/commands/` for one-command setup. #355 (thanks @nibzard)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Fix Qwen3-Embedding GGUF filename case — HuggingFace filenames are
+  case-sensitive, the lowercase variant returned 404. #349 (thanks @byheaven)
+- Resolve symlinked global launcher path so `qmd` works correctly when
+  installed via `npm i -g`. #352 (thanks @nibzard)
+
+## [2.0.0] - 2026-03-10
+
+QMD 2.0 declares a stable library API. The SDK is now the primary interface —
+the MCP server is a clean consumer of it, and the source is organized into
+`src/cli/` and `src/mcp/`. Also: Node 25 support and a runtime-aware bin wrapper
+for bun installs.
+
+### Changes
+
+- Stable SDK API with `QMDStore` interface — search, retrieval, collection/context
+  management, indexing, lifecycle
+- Unified `search()`: pass `query` for auto-expansion or `queries` for
+  pre-expanded lex/vec/hyde — replaces the old query/search/structuredSearch split
+- New `getDocumentBody()`, `getDefaultCollectionNames()`, `Maintenance` class
+- MCP server rewritten as a clean SDK consumer — zero internal store access
+- CLI and MCP organized into `src/cli/` and `src/mcp/` subdirectories
+- Runtime-aware `bin/qmd` wrapper detects bun vs node to avoid ABI mismatches.
+  Closes #319
+- `better-sqlite3` bumped to ^12.4.5 for Node 25 support. Closes #257
+- Utility exports: `extractSnippet`, `addLineNumbers`, `DEFAULT_MULTI_GET_MAX_BYTES`
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Remove unused `import { resolve }` in store.ts that shadowed local export
+
+## [1.1.6] - 2026-03-09
+
+QMD can now be used as a library. `import { createStore } from '@tobilu/qmd'`
+gives you the full search and indexing API — hybrid query, BM25, structured
+search, collection/context management — without shelling out to the CLI.
+
+### Changes
+
+- **SDK / library mode**: `createStore({ dbPath, config })` returns a
+  `QMDStore` with `query()`, `search()`, `structuredSearch()`, `get()`,
+  `multiGet()`, and collection/context management methods. Supports inline
+  config (no files needed) or a YAML config path.
+- **Package exports**: `package.json` now declares `main`, `types`, and
+  `exports` so bundlers and TypeScript resolve `@tobilu/qmd` correctly.
+
+## [1.1.5] - 2026-03-07
+
+Ambiguous queries like "performance" now produce dramatically better results
+when the caller knows what they mean. The new `intent` parameter steers all
+five pipeline stages — expansion, strong-signal bypass, chunk selection,
+reranking, and snippet extraction — without searching on its own. Design and
+original implementation by Ilya Grigorik (@vyalamar) in #180.
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Intent parameter**: optional `intent` string disambiguates queries across
+  the entire search pipeline. Available via CLI (`--intent` flag or `intent:`
+  line in query documents), MCP (`intent` field on the query tool), and
+  programmatic API. Adapted from PR #180 (thanks @vyalamar).
+- **Query expansion**: when intent is provided, the expansion LLM prompt
+  includes `Query intent: {intent}`, matching the finetune training data
+  format for better-aligned expansions.
+- **Reranking**: intent is prepended to the rerank query so Qwen3-Reranker
+  scores with domain context.
+- **Chunk selection**: intent terms scored at 0.5× weight alongside query
+  terms (1.0×) when selecting the best chunk per document for reranking.
+- **Snippet extraction**: intent terms scored at 0.3× weight to nudge
+  snippets toward intent-relevant lines without overriding query anchoring.
+- **Strong-signal bypass disabled with intent**: when intent is provided, the
+  BM25 strong-signal shortcut is skipped — the obvious keyword match may not
+  be what the caller wants.
+- **MCP instructions**: callers are now guided to provide `intent` on every
+  search call for disambiguation.
+- **Query document syntax**: `intent:` recognized as a line type. At most one
+  per document, cannot appear alone. Grammar updated in `docs/SYNTAX.md`.
+
+## [1.1.2] - 2026-03-07
+
+13 community PRs merged. GPU initialization replaced with node-llama-cpp's
+built-in `autoAttempt` — deleting ~220 lines of manual fallback code and
+fixing GPU issues reported across 10+ PRs in one shot. Reranking is faster
+through chunk deduplication and a parallelism cap that prevents VRAM
+exhaustion.
+
+### Changes
+
+- **GPU init**: use node-llama-cpp's `build: "autoAttempt"` instead of manual
+  GPU backend detection. Automatically tries Metal/CUDA/Vulkan and falls back
+  gracefully. #310 (thanks @giladgd — the node-llama-cpp author)
+- **Query `--explain`**: `qmd query --explain` exposes retrieval score traces
+  — backend scores, per-list RRF contributions, top-rank bonus, reranker
+  score, and final blended score. Works in JSON and CLI output. #242
+  (thanks @vyalamar)
+- **Collection ignore patterns**: `ignore: ["Sessions/**", "*.tmp"]` in
+  collection config to exclude files from indexing. #304 (thanks @sebkouba)
+- **Multilingual embeddings**: `QMD_EMBED_MODEL` env var lets you swap in
+  models like Qwen3-Embedding for non-English collections. #273 (thanks
+  @daocoding)
+- **Configurable expansion context**: `QMD_EXPAND_CONTEXT_SIZE` env var
+  (default 2048) — previously used the model's full 40960-token window,
+  wasting VRAM. #313 (thanks @0xble)
+- **`candidateLimit` exposed**: `-C` / `--candidate-limit` flag and MCP
+  parameter to tune how many candidates reach the reranker. #255 (thanks
+  @pandysp)
+- **MCP multi-session**: HTTP transport now supports multiple concurrent
+  client sessions, each with its own server instance. #286 (thanks @joelev)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- **Reranking performance**: cap parallel rerank contexts at 4 to prevent
+  VRAM exhaustion on high-core machines. Deduplicate identical chunk texts
+  before reranking — same content from different files now shares a single
+  reranker call. Cache scores by content hash instead of file path.
+- Deactivate stale docs when all files are removed from a collection and
+  `qmd update` is run. #312 (thanks @0xble)
+- Handle emoji-only filenames (`🐘.md` → `1f418.md`) instead of crashing.
+  #308 (thanks @debugerman)
+- Skip unreadable files during indexing (e.g. iCloud-evicted files returning
+  EAGAIN) instead of crashing. #253 (thanks @jimmynail)
+- Suppress progress bar escape sequences when stderr is not a TTY. #230
+  (thanks @dgilperez)
+- Emit format-appropriate empty output (`[]` for JSON, CSV header for CSV,
+  etc.) instead of plain text "No results." #228 (thanks @amsminn)
+- Correct Windows sqlite-vec package name (`sqlite-vec-windows-x64`) and add
+  `sqlite-vec-linux-arm64`. #225 (thanks @ilepn)
+- Fix claude plugin setup CLI commands in README. #311 (thanks @gi11es)
+
+## [1.1.1] - 2026-03-06
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Reranker: truncate documents exceeding the 2048-token context window
+  instead of silently producing garbage scores. Long chunks (e.g. from
+  PDF ingestion) now get a fair ranking.
+- Nix: add python3 and cctools to build dependencies. #214 (thanks
+  @pcasaretto)
+
+## [1.1.0] - 2026-02-20
+
+QMD now speaks in **query documents** — structured multi-line queries where every line is typed (`lex:`, `vec:`, `hyde:`), combining keyword precision with semantic recall. A single plain query still works exactly as before (it's treated as an implicit `expand:` and auto-expanded by the LLM). Lex now supports quoted phrases and negation (`"C++ performance" -sports -athlete`), making intent-aware disambiguation practical. The formal query grammar is documented in `docs/SYNTAX.md`.
+
+The npm package now uses the standard `#!/usr/bin/env node` bin convention, replacing the custom bash wrapper. This fixes native module ABI mismatches when installed via bun and works on any platform with node >= 22 on PATH.
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Query document format**: multi-line queries with typed sub-queries (`lex:`, `vec:`, `hyde:`). Plain queries remain the default (`expand:` implicit, but not written inside the document). First sub-query gets 2× fusion weight — put your strongest signal first. Formal grammar in `docs/SYNTAX.md`.
+- **Lex syntax**: full BM25 operator support. `"exact phrase"` for verbatim matching; `-term` and `-"phrase"` for exclusions. Essential for disambiguation when a term is overloaded across domains (e.g. `performance -sports -athlete`).
+- **`expand:` shortcut**: send a single plain query (or start the document with `expand:` on its only line) to auto-expand via the local LLM. Query documents themselves are limited to `lex`, `vec`, and `hyde` lines.
+- **MCP `query` tool** (renamed from `structured_search`): rewrote the tool description to fully teach AI agents the query document format, lex syntax, and combination strategy. Includes worked examples with intent-aware lex.
+- **HTTP `/query` endpoint** (renamed from `/search`; `/search` kept as silent alias).
+- **`collections` array filter**: filter by multiple collections in a single query (`collections: ["notes", "brain"]`). Removed the single `collection` string param — array only.
+- **Collection `include`/`exclude`**: `includeByDefault: false` hides a collection from all queries unless explicitly named via `collections`. CLI: `qmd collection exclude <name>` / `qmd collection include <name>`.
+- **Collection `update-cmd`**: attach a shell command that runs before every `qmd update` (e.g. `git stash && git pull --rebase --ff-only && git stash pop`). CLI: `qmd collection update-cmd <name> '<cmd>'`.
+- **`qmd status` tips**: shows actionable tips when collections lack context descriptions or update commands.
+- **`qmd collection` subcommands**: `show`, `update-cmd`, `include`, `exclude`. Bare `qmd collection` now prints help.
+- **Packaging**: replaced custom bash wrapper with standard `#!/usr/bin/env node` shebang on `dist/qmd.js`. Fixes native module ABI mismatches when installed via bun, and works on any platform where node >= 22 is on PATH.
+- **Removed MCP tools** `search`, `vector_search`, `deep_search` — all superseded by `query`.
+- **Removed** `qmd context check` command.
+- **CLI timing**: each LLM step (expand, embed, rerank) prints elapsed time inline (`Expanding query... (4.2s)`).
+
+### Fixes
+
+- `qmd collection list` shows `[excluded]` tag for collections with `includeByDefault: false`.
+- Default searches now respect `includeByDefault` — excluded collections are skipped unless explicitly named.
+- Fix main module detection when installed globally via npm/bun (symlink resolution).
+
+## [1.0.7] - 2026-02-18
+
+### Changes
+
+- LLM: add LiquidAI LFM2-1.2B as an alternative base model for query
+  expansion fine-tuning. LFM2's hybrid architecture (convolutions + attention)
+  is 2x faster at decode/prefill vs standard transformers — good fit for
+  on-device inference.
+- CLI: support multiple `-c` flags to search across several collections at
+  once (e.g. `qmd search -c notes -c journals "query"`). #191 (thanks
+  @openclaw)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Return empty JSON array `[]` instead of no output when `--json` search
+  finds no results.
+- Resolve relative paths passed to `--index` so they don't produce malformed
+  config entries.
+- Respect `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` for collection config path instead of always
+  using `~/.config`. #190 (thanks @openclaw)
+- CLI: empty-collection hint now shows the correct `collection add` command.
+  #200 (thanks @vincentkoc)
+
+## [1.0.6] - 2026-02-16
+
+### Changes
+
+- CLI: `qmd status` now shows models with full HuggingFace links instead of
+  static names in `--help`. Model info is derived from the actual configured
+  URIs so it stays accurate if models change.
+- Release tooling: pre-push hook handles non-interactive shells (CI, editors)
+  gracefully — warnings auto-proceed instead of hanging on a tty prompt.
+  Annotated tags now resolve correctly for CI checks.
+
+## [1.0.5] - 2026-02-16
+
+The npm package now ships compiled JavaScript instead of raw TypeScript,
+removing the `tsx` runtime dependency. A new `/release` skill automates the
+full release workflow with changelog validation and git hook enforcement.
+
+### Changes
+
+- Build: compile TypeScript to `dist/` via `tsc` so the npm package no longer
+  requires `tsx` at runtime. The `qmd` shell wrapper now runs `dist/qmd.js`
+  directly.
+- Release tooling: new `/release` skill that manages the full release
+  lifecycle — validates changelog, installs git hooks, previews release notes,
+  and cuts the release. Auto-populates `[Unreleased]` from git history when
+  empty.
+- Release tooling: `scripts/extract-changelog.sh` extracts cumulative notes
+  for the full minor series (e.g. 1.0.0 through 1.0.5) for GitHub releases.
+  Includes `[Unreleased]` content in previews.
+- Release tooling: `scripts/release.sh` renames `[Unreleased]` to a versioned
+  heading and inserts a fresh empty `[Unreleased]` section automatically.
+- Release tooling: pre-push git hook blocks `v*` tag pushes unless
+  `package.json` version matches the tag, a changelog entry exists, and CI
+  passed on GitHub.
+- Publish workflow: GitHub Actions now builds TypeScript, creates a GitHub
+  release with cumulative notes extracted from the changelog, and publishes
+  to npm with provenance.
+
+## [1.0.0] - 2026-02-15
+
+QMD now runs on both Node.js and Bun, with up to 2.7x faster reranking
+through parallel GPU contexts. GPU auto-detection replaces the unreliable
+`gpu: "auto"` with explicit CUDA/Metal/Vulkan probing.
+
+### Changes
+
+- Runtime: support Node.js (>=22) alongside Bun via a cross-runtime SQLite
+  abstraction layer (`src/db.ts`). `bun:sqlite` on Bun, `better-sqlite3` on
+  Node. The `qmd` wrapper auto-detects a suitable Node.js install via PATH,
+  then falls back to mise, asdf, nvm, and Homebrew locations.
+- Performance: parallel embedding & reranking via multiple LlamaContext
+  instances — up to 2.7x faster on multi-core machines.
+- Performance: flash attention for ~20% less VRAM per reranking context,
+  enabling more parallel contexts on GPU.
+- Performance: right-sized reranker context (40960 → 2048 tokens, 17x less
+  memory) since chunks are capped at ~900 tokens.
+- Performance: adaptive parallelism — context count computed from available
+  VRAM (GPU) or CPU math cores rather than hardcoded.
+- GPU: probe for CUDA, Metal, Vulkan explicitly at startup instead of
+  relying on node-llama-cpp's `gpu: "auto"`. `qmd status` shows device info.
+- Tests: reorganized into flat `test/` directory with vitest for Node.js and
+  bun test for Bun. New `eval-bm25` and `store.helpers.unit` suites.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Prevent VRAM waste from duplicate context creation during concurrent
+  `embedBatch` calls — initialization lock now covers the full path.
+- Collection-aware FTS filtering so scoped keyword search actually restricts
+  results to the requested collection.
+
+## [0.9.0] - 2026-02-15
+
+First published release on npm as `@tobilu/qmd`. MCP HTTP transport with
+daemon mode cuts warm query latency from ~16s to ~10s by keeping models
+loaded between requests.
+
+### Changes
+
+- MCP: HTTP transport with daemon lifecycle — `qmd mcp --http --daemon`
+  starts a background server, `qmd mcp stop` shuts it down. Models stay warm
+  in VRAM between queries. #149 (thanks @igrigorik)
+- Search: type-routed query expansion preserves lex/vec/hyde type info and
+  routes to the appropriate backend. Eliminates ~4 wasted backend calls per
+  query (10.0 → 6.0 calls, 1278ms → 549ms). #149 (thanks @igrigorik)
+- Search: unified pipeline — extracted `hybridQuery()` and
+  `vectorSearchQuery()` to `store.ts` so CLI and MCP share identical logic.
+  Fixes a class of bugs where results differed between the two. #149 (thanks
+  @igrigorik)
+- MCP: dynamic instructions generated at startup from actual index state —
+  LLMs see collection names, doc counts, and content descriptions. #149
+  (thanks @igrigorik)
+- MCP: tool renames (vsearch → vector_search, query → deep_search) with
+  rewritten descriptions for better tool selection. #149 (thanks @igrigorik)
+- Integration: Claude Code plugin with inline status checks and MCP
+  integration. #99 (thanks @galligan)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- BM25 score normalization — formula was inverted (`1/(1+|x|)` instead of
+  `|x|/(1+|x|)`), so strong matches scored *lowest*. Broke `--min-score`
+  filtering and made the "strong signal" short-circuit dead code. #76 (thanks
+  @dgilperez)
+- Normalize Unicode paths to NFC for macOS compatibility. #82 (thanks
+  @c-stoeckl)
+- Handle dense content (code) that tokenizes beyond expected chunk size.
+- Proper cleanup of Metal GPU resources on process exit.
+- SQLite-vec readiness verification after extension load.
+- Reactivate deactivated documents on re-index instead of creating duplicates.
+- Bun UTF-8 path corruption workaround for non-ASCII filenames.
+- Disable following symlinks in glob.scan to avoid infinite loops.
+
+## [0.8.0] - 2026-01-28
+
+Fine-tuned query expansion model trained with GRPO replaces the stock Qwen3
+0.6B. The training pipeline scores expansions on named entity preservation,
+format compliance, and diversity — producing noticeably better lexical
+variations and HyDE documents.
+
+### Changes
+
+- LLM: deploy GRPO-trained (Group Relative Policy Optimization) query
+  expansion model, hosted on HuggingFace and auto-downloaded on first use.
+  Better preservation of proper nouns and technical terms in expansions.
+- LLM: `/only:lex` mode for single-type expansions — useful when you know
+  which search backend will help.
+- LLM: HyDE output moved to first position so vector search can start
+  embedding while other expansions generate.
+- LLM: session lifecycle management via `withLLMSession()` pattern — ensures
+  cleanup even on failure, similar to database transactions.
+- Integration: org-mode title extraction support. #50 (thanks @sh54)
+- Integration: SQLite extension loading in Nix devshell. #48 (thanks @sh54)
+- Integration: AI agent discovery via skills.sh. #64 (thanks @Algiras)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Use sequential embedding on CPU-only systems — parallel contexts caused a
+  race condition where contexts competed for CPU cores, making things slower.
+  #54 (thanks @freeman-jiang)
+- Fix `collectionName` column in vector search SQL (was still using old
+  `collectionId` from before YAML migration). #61 (thanks @jdvmi00)
+- Fix Qwen3 sampling params to prevent repetition loops — stock
+  temperature/top-p caused occasional infinite repeat patterns.
+- Add `--index` option to CLI argument parser (was documented but not wired
+  up). #84 (thanks @Tritlo)
+- Fix DisposedError during slow batch embedding. #41 (thanks @wuhup)
+
+## [0.7.0] - 2026-01-09
+
+First community contributions. The project gained external contributors,
+surfacing bugs that only appear in diverse environments — Homebrew sqlite-vec
+paths, case-sensitive model filenames, and sqlite-vec JOIN incompatibilities.
+
+### Changes
+
+- Indexing: native `realpathSync()` replaces `readlink -f` subprocess spawn
+  per file. On a 5000-file collection this eliminates 5000 shell spawns,
+  ~15% faster. #8 (thanks @burke)
+- Indexing: single-pass tokenization — chunking algorithm tokenized each
+  document twice (count then split); now tokenizes once and reuses. #9
+  (thanks @burke)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Fix `vsearch` and `query` hanging — sqlite-vec's virtual table doesn't
+  support the JOIN pattern used; rewrote to subquery. #23 (thanks @mbrendan)
+- Fix MCP server exiting immediately after startup — process had no active
+  handles keeping the event loop alive. #29 (thanks @mostlydev)
+- Fix collection filter SQL to properly restrict vector search results.
+- Support non-ASCII filenames in collection filter.
+- Skip empty files during indexing instead of crashing on zero-length content.
+- Fix case sensitivity in Qwen3 model filename resolution. #15 (thanks
+  @gavrix)
+- Fix sqlite-vec loading on macOS with Homebrew (`BREW_PREFIX` detection).
+  #42 (thanks @komsit37)
+- Fix Nix flake to use correct `src/qmd.ts` path. #7 (thanks @burke)
+- Fix docid lookup with quotes support in get command. #36 (thanks
+  @JoshuaLelon)
+- Fix query expansion model size in documentation. #38 (thanks @odysseus0)
+
+## [0.6.0] - 2025-12-28
+
+Replaced Ollama HTTP API with node-llama-cpp for all LLM operations. Ollama
+adds convenience but also a running server dependency. node-llama-cpp loads
+GGUF models directly in-process — zero external dependencies. Models
+auto-download from HuggingFace on first use.
+
+### Changes
+
+- LLM: structured query expansion via JSON schema grammar constraints.
+  Model produces typed expansions — **lexical** (BM25 keywords), **vector**
+  (semantic rephrasings), **HyDE** (hypothetical document excerpts) — so each
+  routes to the right backend instead of sending everything everywhere.
+- LLM: lazy model loading with 2-minute inactivity auto-unload. Keeps memory
+  low when idle while avoiding ~3s model load on every query.
+- Search: conditional query expansion — when BM25 returns strong results, the
+  expensive LLM expansion is skipped entirely.
+- Search: multi-chunk reranking — documents with multiple relevant chunks
+  scored by aggregating across all chunks rather than best single chunk.
+- Search: cosine distance for vector search (was L2).
+- Search: embeddinggemma nomic-style prompt formatting.
+- Testing: evaluation harness with synthetic test documents and Hit@K metrics
+  for BM25, vector, and hybrid RRF.
+
+## [0.5.0] - 2025-12-13
+
+Collections and contexts moved from SQLite tables to YAML at
+`~/.config/qmd/index.yml`. SQLite was overkill for config — you can't share
+it, and it's opaque. YAML is human-readable and version-controllable. The
+migration was extensive (35+ commits) because every part of the system that
+touched collections or contexts had to be updated.
+
+### Changes
+
+- Config: YAML-based collections and contexts replace SQLite tables.
+  `collections` and `path_contexts` tables dropped from schema. Collections
+  support an optional `update:` command (e.g., `git pull`) before re-index.
+- CLI: `qmd collection add/list/remove/rename` commands with `--name` and
+  `--mask` glob pattern support.
+- CLI: `qmd ls` virtual file tree — list collections, files in a collection,
+  or files under a path prefix.
+- CLI: `qmd context add/list/check/rm` with hierarchical context inheritance.
+  A query to `qmd://notes/2024/jan/` inherits context from `notes/`,
+  `notes/2024/`, and `notes/2024/jan/`.
+- CLI: `qmd context add / "text"` for global context across all collections.
+- CLI: `qmd context check` audit command to find paths without context.
+- Paths: `qmd://` virtual URI scheme for portable document references.
+  `qmd://notes/ideas.md` works regardless of where the collection lives on
+  disk. Works in `get`, `multi-get`, `ls`, and context commands.
+- CLI: document IDs (docid) — first 6 chars of content hash for stable
+  references. Shown as `#abc123` in search results, usable with `get` and
+  `multi-get`.
+- CLI: `--line-numbers` flag for get command output.
+
+## [0.4.0] - 2025-12-10
+
+MCP server for AI agent integration. Without it, agents had to shell out to
+`qmd search` and parse CLI output. The monolithic `qmd.ts` (1840 lines) was
+split into focused modules with the project's first test suite (215 tests).
+
+### Changes
+
+- MCP: stdio server with tools for search, vector search, hybrid query,
+  document retrieval, and status. Runs over stdio transport for Claude
+  Desktop and MCP clients.
+- MCP: spec-compliant with June 2025 MCP specification — removed non-spec
+  `mimeType`, added `isError: true` to errors, `structuredContent` for
+  machine-readable results, proper URI encoding.
+- MCP: simplified tool naming (`qmd_search` → `search`) since MCP already
+  namespaces by server.
+- Architecture: extract `store.ts` (1221 LOC), `llm.ts` (539 LOC),
+  `formatter.ts` (359 LOC), `mcp.ts` (503 LOC) from monolithic `qmd.ts`.
+- Testing: 215 tests (store: 96, llm: 60, mcp: 59) with mocked Ollama for
+  fast, deterministic runs. Before this: zero tests.
+
+## [0.3.0] - 2025-12-08
+
+Document chunking for vector search. A 5000-word document about many topics
+gets a single embedding that averages everything together, matching poorly for
+specific queries. Chunking produces one embedding per ~900-token section with
+focused semantic signal.
+
+### Changes
+
+- Search: markdown-aware chunking — prefers heading boundaries, then paragraph
+  breaks, then sentence boundaries. 15% overlap between chunks ensures
+  cross-boundary queries still match.
+- Search: multi-chunk scoring bonus (+0.02 per additional chunk, capped at
+  +0.1 for 5+ chunks). Documents relevant in multiple sections rank higher.
+- CLI: display paths show collection-relative paths and extracted titles
+  (from H1 headings or YAML frontmatter) instead of raw filesystem paths.
+- CLI: `--all` flag returns all matches (use with `--min-score` to filter).
+- CLI: byte-based progress bar with ETA for `embed` command.
+- CLI: human-readable time formatting ("15m 4s" instead of "904.2s").
+- CLI: documents >64KB truncated with warning during embedding.
+
+## [0.2.0] - 2025-12-08
+
+### Changes
+
+- CLI: `--json`, `--csv`, `--files`, `--md`, `--xml` output format flags.
+  `--json` for programmatic access, `--files` for piping, `--md`/`--xml` for
+  LLM consumption, `--csv` for spreadsheets.
+- CLI: `qmd status` shows index health — document count, size, embedding
+  coverage, time since last update.
+- Search: weighted RRF — original query gets 2x weight relative to expanded
+  queries since the user's actual words are a more reliable signal.
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2025-12-07
+
+Initial implementation. Built in a single day for searching personal markdown
+notes, journals, and meeting transcripts.
+
+### Changes
+
+- Search: SQLite FTS5 with BM25 ranking. Chose SQLite over Elasticsearch
+  because QMD is a personal tool — single binary, no server dependencies.
+- Search: sqlite-vec for vector similarity. Same rationale: in-process, no
+  external vector database.
+- Search: Reciprocal Rank Fusion to combine BM25 and vector results. RRF is
+  parameter-free and handles missing signals gracefully.
+- LLM: Ollama for embeddings, reranking, and query expansion. Later replaced
+  with node-llama-cpp in 0.6.0.
+- CLI: `qmd add`, `qmd embed`, `qmd search`, `qmd vsearch`, `qmd query`,
+  `qmd get`. ~1800 lines of TypeScript in a single `qmd.ts` file.
