+## [0.6.0] - 2026-02-23
+
+### Added
+- **Comprehensive file metadata** in `acp_remote_list_files` tool
+  - Now returns structured JSON with full file information
+  - Includes permissions (mode, string, owner/group/others breakdown)
+  - Includes timestamps (accessed, modified in ISO 8601 format)
+  - Includes ownership (uid, gid)
+  - Includes file type (file, directory, symlink, other)
+  - Includes file size in bytes
+- **`includeHidden` parameter** for `acp_remote_list_files` (default: true)
+  - Control whether hidden files (starting with `.`) are included
+  - Addresses GitHub Issue #2 - incomplete directory listings
+
+### Fixed
+- **CRITICAL**: Fixed GitHub Issue #2 - `acp_remote_list_files` missing hidden files
+  - Root cause: SFTP `readdir()` filters hidden files by default (protocol behavior)
+  - Solution: Hybrid approach using shell `ls` for filenames + SFTP `stat()` for metadata
+  - Now returns ALL files including hidden directories (`.ssh`, `.config`, `.npm`, etc.)
+  - Fallback to SFTP `readdir()` if shell command unavailable
+
+### Changed
+- **BREAKING**: `acp_remote_list_files` output format changed from simple text to structured JSON
+  - **Before**: Newline-separated list of paths
+  - **After**: JSON array of FileEntry objects with comprehensive metadata
+  - **Migration**: Parse JSON response to access file information
+  - **Benefit**: Rich metadata enables better file system operations and decision-making
+
+### Technical Details
+- Added `FileEntry` interface in `src/types/file-entry.ts`
+- Updated `SSHConnectionManager.listFiles()` with hybrid implementation
+- Added helper functions: `parsePermissions()`, `modeToPermissionString()`, `getFileType()`
+- Enhanced logging for file listing operations
+- Maintains backward compatibility via fallback to SFTP

+# Task 5: Fix Incomplete Directory Listings (GitHub Issue #2)
+
+**Milestone**: M3 - Bug Fixes and Enhancements
+**Estimated Time**: 3-4 hours
+**Dependencies**: None
+**Status**: In Progress
+**Priority**: 🚨 CRITICAL
+**GitHub Issue**: [#2](https://github.com/prmichaelsen/acp-mcp/issues/2)
+
+---
+
+## Objective
+
+Fix the critical bug where `acp_remote_list_files` returns incomplete directory listings, missing hidden files and directories. Implement comprehensive file listing with full metadata (permissions, timestamps, size, etc.) using a hybrid approach.
+
+## Context
+
+**Problem**: SFTP `readdir()` filters out hidden files (starting with `.`) by default, causing incomplete listings.
+
+**Root Cause**: SFTP protocol behavior, not a library bug. SFTP `readdir()` excludes hidden files per protocol specification.
+
+**Solution**: Use shell `ls` command to get ALL filenames (including hidden), then SFTP `stat()` to get rich metadata for each file.
+
+**Design Reference**: See [`agent/reports/github-issue-2-incomplete-directory-listings.md`](../reports/github-issue-2-incomplete-directory-listings.md)
+
+---
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Update FileEntry Interface
+
+Create comprehensive interface for file metadata.
+
+**File**: `src/types/file-entry.ts` (create new)
+
+**Actions**:
+- Define `FileEntry` interface with all metadata fields
+- Include permissions, timestamps, size, ownership
+- Export helper functions for permission conversion
+
+### 2. Update SSHConnectionManager.listFiles()
+
+Implement hybrid approach: shell + SFTP.
+
+**File**: `src/utils/ssh-connection.ts`
+
+**Actions**:
+- Add `includeHidden` parameter (default: `true`)
+- Use shell `ls -A` to get all filenames
+- Use SFTP `stat()` to get metadata for each file
+- Return comprehensive `FileEntry[]` with all metadata
+- Add fallback to SFTP `readdir()` if shell fails
+- Add comprehensive logging
+
+### 3. Update Tool Schema
+
+Add `includeHidden` parameter to tool.
+
+**File**: `src/tools/acp-remote-list-files.ts`
+
+**Actions**:
+- Add `includeHidden` to input schema
+- Update tool description
+- Pass parameter to `listFiles()`
+- Update recursive listing to use parameter
+
+### 4. Update Tool Output Format
+
+Return structured JSON with metadata.
+
+**File**: `src/tools/acp-remote-list-files.ts`
+
+**Actions**:
+- Change output from simple text to structured JSON
+- Include all file metadata in response
+- Format for easy parsing by agents
+
+### 5. Update Documentation
+
+Document new functionality and parameters.
+
+**Files**: `README.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`
+
+**Actions**:
+- Document `includeHidden` parameter
+- Document new output format with metadata
+- Add examples of usage
+- Update CHANGELOG for v0.6.0
+
+### 6. Test Implementation
+
+Verify fix works correctly.
+
+**Actions**:
+- Build project: `npm run build`
+- Test with hidden files directory
+- Verify all files returned
+- Verify metadata is correct
+- Test recursive listing
+- Test with `includeHidden=false`
+
+---
+
+## Verification
+
+- [ ] `FileEntry` interface created with all fields
+- [ ] `SSHConnectionManager.listFiles()` updated with hybrid approach
+- [ ] `includeHidden` parameter added to tool schema
+- [ ] Tool returns structured JSON with metadata
+- [ ] README.md updated with new parameter
+- [ ] CHANGELOG.md updated for v0.6.0
+- [ ] TypeScript compiles without errors
+- [ ] Build completes successfully
+- [ ] Manual testing shows all files including hidden
+- [ ] Metadata fields populated correctly
+- [ ] Recursive listing works with hidden files
+- [ ] Fallback to SFTP works if shell fails
+
+---
+
+## Expected Output
+
+### Files Created
+- `src/types/file-entry.ts` - FileEntry interface and helpers
+
+### Files Modified
+- `src/utils/ssh-connection.ts` - Hybrid listing implementation
+- `src/tools/acp-remote-list-files.ts` - Updated schema and output
+- `README.md` - Documentation updates
+- `CHANGELOG.md` - v0.6.0 entry
+- `package.json` - Version bump to 0.6.0
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### FileEntry Interface
+```typescript
+export interface FileEntry {
+  name: string;
+  path: string;
+  type: 'file' | 'directory' | 'symlink' | 'other';
+  size: number;
+  permissions: {
+    mode: number;
+    string: string;
+    owner: { read: boolean; write: boolean; execute: boolean };
+    group: { read: boolean; write: boolean; execute: boolean };
+    others: { read: boolean; write: boolean; execute: boolean };
+  };
+  owner: {
+    uid: number;
+    gid: number;
+  };
+  timestamps: {
+    accessed: string;
+    modified: string;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Hybrid Approach
+1. Execute `ls -A -1` to get all filenames (including hidden)
+2. For each filename, call SFTP `stat()` to get metadata
+3. Construct `FileEntry` objects with complete information
+4. Return structured array
+
+---
+
+**Next Task**: Task 6 - Deploy v0.6.0 to npm
