 All notable changes to this project will be documented here. The format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), and the project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
+## [3.7.8] — 2026-05-16
+
+> **TL;DR:** Repo-page positioning patch. Restores **"The most advanced Obsidian MCP"** as the primary credential in the README hero (previously demoted to a secondary line in v3.6.3's "memory for AI agents" pivot, then dropped entirely in v3.7.7's visual refresh). Adds **OpenClaw** to all agent-list mentions (README hero, "What it is", Use cases, comparison matrix, npm description, image alt text). GitHub About description + Topics updated out-of-band via `gh api`: About now leads with "The most advanced Obsidian MCP — long-term memory for AI agents...", Topics list `openclaw` (dropped `context-engineering` from the 20-cap as the least-discoverable hype keyword). **Zero code changes.** 786 tests unchanged.
+
+**Patch — positioning restoration + OpenClaw discoverability.**
+
+### Changed — README hero (most-advanced credential restored)
+
+The v3.6.3 marketing pivot moved "The most advanced Obsidian MCP" from the primary headline to a secondary bold line ("Long-term memory for AI agents." became the lead). The v3.7.7 visual refresh dropped the secondary line entirely in favor of the pain-point hook ("Stop re-explaining context..."). **v3.7.8 restores the credential to the H3 subtitle** so visitors immediately see both positioning facets:
+
+```
+### The most advanced Obsidian MCP. Long-term memory for AI agents.
+```
+
+The bold pain-point hook below stays, so the structure is now: **credential + value prop** (H3) → **pain point + outcome** (bold).
+
+### Added — OpenClaw to all agent surfaces
+
+OpenClaw is a primary MCP client (reference deployment partner; see v3.5.x CHANGELOG for the SZBOX trading-system pairing). v3.6.3's Topics rebalance dropped `openclaw` to fit the 8 new hype keywords inside GitHub's 20-cap, but the README + npm description references also got trimmed. v3.7.8 restores OpenClaw discoverability:
+
+- **README** — added to 5 agent-list mentions: image alt text, hero bold line, "What it is" lead paragraph, Use case #1, comparison matrix "MCP-native" row.
+- **`package.json#description`** — agent list now reads "Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT custom GPT, Codex, OpenClaw, and any MCP client". Also: the description NOW LEADS with "The most advanced Obsidian MCP — long-term memory for AI agents." (matching the GitHub About).
+- **GitHub About** (out-of-band via `gh api`): replaced with `"The most advanced Obsidian MCP — long-term memory for AI agents. Hybrid retrieval (BM25 + ML + BGE rerank, RRF-fused), HNSW + int8 quantization, agentic RAG (HyDE + sub-question), standalone Bases, PDFs+OCR. For Claude Code/Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, OpenClaw. MCP-native, MIT, SLSA-3."` (288 chars, fits the 350 limit).
+- **GitHub Topics** (out-of-band via `gh api`): swapped `context-engineering` → `openclaw`. New 20-topic set: `obsidian, obsidian-mcp, mcp-server, model-context-protocol, claude, claude-code, cursor, chatgpt, codex, openclaw, rag, agentic-rag, hybrid-search, semantic-search, ai-memory, agent-memory, llm-memory, long-term-memory, claude-memory, second-brain`.
+
+`context-engineering` was the safest drop from the 20-cap: it's the most jargon-heavy of the agent-memory keywords (low natural-search volume vs `ai-memory`, `agent-memory`, `llm-memory`, `long-term-memory`, `claude-memory` which it overlaps with). `openclaw` brings unique discoverability for the dedicated client community.
+
+### Tests
+
+**786 tests** — unchanged. No code paths touched, no test additions, no coverage delta. Lint clean, `tsc` strict + `noUncheckedIndexedAccess` clean, version-consistency green at `3.7.8` (5 surfaces), all K-1 invariants green.
+
+### Migration
+
+**No-op for every consumer.** Zero code/API/behavior/schema changes. Same npm install, same wire format. Visible surfaces:
+- GitHub About + Topics — updated instantly (out-of-band, already live)
+- README — instantly after merge
+- npm description — after `npm publish`
+
+OpenClaw users specifically benefit: the repo is now discoverable via the `openclaw` topic + README references → easier for the OpenClaw community to find the recommended Obsidian memory backend.
+
+### Method note
+
+Positioning continues to be a calibration exercise (per v3.6.3 method note: *"positioning isn't a one-time launch decision — it's continuous calibration"*). The "most advanced Obsidian MCP" credential and the "memory for AI agents" value-prop are **complementary**, not mutually-exclusive: this patch restores the both-and framing rather than the v3.7.7 either-or compromise. OpenClaw discoverability is a smaller-but-similar calibration — the v3.6.3 rebalance traded it for general-hype keywords; v3.7.8 trades back one of those (the least-discoverable one) to restore the dedicated-community pathway.
+

+
+## [3.7.7] — 2026-05-16
+
+> **TL;DR:** Visual + marketing refresh. New `assets/social-preview.png` leads with the emotional value prop ("Long-term memory for AI agents") and a visual flow showing vault → enquire-mcp → 5 AI agents — replaces the previous engineering-stats-heavy preview. README hero rewritten with **"The problem / The solution"** framing + sticky nav links + a clear 3-bullet differentiation block. **Zero code changes.** 786 tests unchanged. The visual + copy hierarchy is now optimized for first-time visitor conversion (3-second value-prop comprehension); technical depth is preserved but moved below the fold.
+
+**Patch — visual + marketing refresh (no code, no behavior changes).**
+
+### Changed — social preview image
+
+**Old design**: dark-themed SVG with `enquire-mcp` brand + 3-line technical tagline + terminal mockup showing JSON tool calls + version stamp "v3.5 · stable" (drift since v3.7.x) + stats row (44 tools / 19 prompts / 786 tests).
+
+**New design**: same dimensions (1280×640) and color palette (purple/cyan/slate dark theme) but reorganized for emotional value:
+- **Top half** — big bold headline `Long-term memory for AI agents.` with `AI agents` accented in cyan; subtitle `Built on your Obsidian vault. Your knowledge, every agent, every session.`
+- **Middle row** — visual flow: stacked markdown vault → `enquire-mcp` chip → 5 AI agent badges (Claude · Cursor · ChatGPT · Codex · "+ more"). The flow tells the story in 3 seconds.
+- **Bottom strip** — trust signals (MIT · SLSA-3 · Hybrid retrieval · BGE reranker · HNSW · PDFs + OCR · 50+ languages · Zero cloud calls) + install command + repo link.
+- **Removed**: version stamp (drift-prone), terminal mockup (technical noise for first-time visitors), counts row (moved to README body for visitors who want depth).
+
+### Changed — README hero
+
+**The problem / The solution** narrative replaces the previous feature-dump opening. Visitors now see:
+1. **The problem**: "Every AI session starts from zero..." — connects to a pain point most LLM users experience.
+2. **The solution**: "Your Obsidian vault becomes persistent, queryable long-term memory..." — frames the project as the answer.
+3. **3-bullet differentiation block** in a blockquote: vendor-neutral, best-in-class retrieval, zero cloud calls.
+
+Plus new sticky nav bar above the fold: `[⚡ 30-second install] · [🧠 Use cases] · [📊 Benchmarks] · [📖 API reference] · [💬 Compare alternatives]`.
+
+**Stale stamp fixes** (incidental drift caught during the rewrite):
+- README stable badge `v3.6.x-stable` → `v3.7.x-stable` (we're past v3.7.x).
+- README image `alt` text updated to match new positioning.
+
+Technical depth (hybrid retrieval, RRF, cross-encoder, HNSW, quantization, etc.) preserved — just moved below the hero. Visitors who want depth get it; visitors who want value-prop in 3 seconds get it too.
+
+### Tests
+
+**786 tests** — unchanged from v3.7.6. No code paths touched, no test additions/removals, no coverage delta. Lint clean, `tsc` strict + `noUncheckedIndexedAccess` clean, version-consistency green at `3.7.7` (5 surfaces), all K-1 invariants green.
+
+### Migration
+
+**No-op for every consumer.** Zero code/API/behavior/schema changes. Same npm install, same wire format. The visual refresh is visible to:
+- GitHub repository visitors (README + social card on link previews) — instantly after merge
+- npm consumers (`assets/social-preview.png` ships in tarball per `package.json#files`) — after `npm install`
+
+Existing README anchors, links, and section headings preserved. The hero rewrite adds content above existing structure rather than rearranging it.
+
+### Method note
+
+Per CLAUDE.md anti-pattern *"Compressing CHANGELOG for aesthetics — audit trail trumps style"*: this patch documents WHY the visual changed, not just THAT it changed. The old design was engineering-trail-friendly (stats, version stamp, JSON mockup) but conversion-hostile for first-time visitors who don't know what "RRF fusion" or "BGE reranker" means. The new design optimizes the **first 3 seconds** of a visitor's attention while preserving 100% of the technical depth below.
+
+**Why a patch release**: `assets/social-preview.png` ships in the npm tarball per `package.json#files`. npm consumers see the new image after install. GitHub viewers see the new image + README hero immediately after merge.
+
+---
+
 ## [3.7.6] — 2026-05-16
 
 > **TL;DR:** Quality batch — closes 8 remaining audit-findings from the v3.6.2 external audit that weren't CRITICAL but were ship-ready (H-4, H-5, M-5, M-9, M-10, M-12, L-3, L-4). All fixes pure improvements: no new behavior, no breaking changes. Architectural items (H-1 HNSW filter-during-search, H-2 graph boost magnitude, H-3 watcher embeddings invalidation, M-2 HTTP transport full parity, M-7 PDF/OCR DoS resource controls, M-8 write-path TOCTOU, readOnlyHint-aware invariant) deferred to **v3.8.0 backlog** as they require architectural changes. 786 tests unchanged from v3.7.5 (2 existing tests updated to reflect M-10 signature change).

-> **First and only Obsidian-MCP that ships hybrid retrieval, cross-encoder reranking, HNSW, int8 quantization, late-chunking, HyDE, GraphRAG-light community detection, standalone `.base` query execution, PDFs + OCR, and stateful remote MCP — together. In one binary. Under MIT. SLSA-3 signed.**
->
-> **Zero outbound network calls during serve.** Embedding + reranker models cached locally (one-time `install-model` from HuggingFace). Your vault content never leaves your machine. The privacy-conscious complement to Obsidian plugins that hit cloud APIs for retrieval.
+## The problem
+
+Every AI session starts from zero. You re-explain your project, your design decisions, the conclusions of last week's research. Vendor "memory" features ([Claude Memory](https://www.anthropic.com/news/memory-and-tool-use), [ChatGPT Memory](https://openai.com/index/memory-and-new-controls-for-chatgpt/), Cursor memory) lock your knowledge into one provider's cloud — and forget it again when you switch tools. **Your knowledge keeps starting over.**
 
-## What it is
+## The solution
 
-A **production-ready MCP server** that turns your Obsidian vault into **persistent, queryable long-term memory** for any AI agent — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT custom GPT, Codex, mobile MCP clients. Unlike session-scoped chat memory or proprietary cloud "memory" features, your knowledge lives in plain markdown files **you own**, indexed locally, and recalled with the full modern IR stack: **BM25 + TF-IDF + multilingual ML embeddings** fused via Reciprocal Rank Fusion (Cormack et al, 2009), reranked with a **BGE cross-encoder** (5 model options), scaled to millions of chunks via **HNSW with int8 quantization**, with blended markdown + PDF hits and `[page: N]` citations.
+Your Obsidian vault becomes **persistent, queryable long-term memory** for any MCP-compatible agent. One install — your knowledge is instantly accessible from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT custom GPT, Codex, OpenClaw, and every other MCP client. Plain markdown files **you own**, indexed locally, searched with the full modern IR stack, recalled across every session and every model.
 
-Think of it as the **open-source, MCP-native, agent-grade memory layer** that complements Claude Memory / ChatGPT Memory / Cursor memory — but stores your durable knowledge in a portable, vendor-neutral format (your Obsidian vault) any agent can read.
+> **Three things make enquire-mcp different**:
+> 1. **Vendor-neutral.** Your memory lives in `.md` files. Switch from Claude to Cursor — your memory comes with you.
+> 2. **Best-in-class retrieval.** Hybrid BM25 + multilingual embeddings + BGE cross-encoder reranker fused via RRF, scaled with HNSW + int8 quantization. The same IR stack a search startup would build — open-sourced, in one binary.
+> 3. **Zero cloud calls during serve.** Models cached locally (one-time download from HuggingFace). Your vault content never leaves your machine. Air-gap-safe by default.

-**1 — Long-term memory for AI agents.** Drop your Obsidian vault into any MCP-compatible agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex). The agent now has durable, semantic recall over every meeting note, journal entry, research log, and decision doc you've ever written — across sessions, models, and providers. Unlike `Claude Memory` or `ChatGPT Memory`, your knowledge isn't locked into one vendor's cloud; it lives in plain markdown you own and can migrate freely.

 **2 — Personal knowledge base / second brain.** Hybrid retrieval surfaces the right note for *any* phrasing, in any of 50+ languages. Ask in English about a Russian-language journal entry from 2 years ago, get the right hit. Wikilink graph-boost reranks notes that sit at the centre of your knowledge graph. GraphRAG-light surfaces topical communities — discover connections you forgot you made. PDFs blend into search with `[page: N]` citations so research papers and meeting transcripts become first-class memory.
