 # Changelog
 
+## 0.6.0 (2026-07-11)
+
+No breaking changes, no KB migration. Default behavior unchanged for KBs
+without embeddings; on a KB with `vectorEnabled: true` and a built vector
+store, the MCP `wiki_search` tool now fuses semantic vector matches into its
+results (fail-open — any vector error falls back to BM25). Pin
+`@sdsrs/llm-wiki@0.5.0` to keep pure-BM25 `wiki_search` everywhere. Skill
+texts pick up the new graph-aware procedures on the next `connect`/install.
+
+- feat(mcp): `wiki_search` retrieves via `locatePages` 'auto' mode — BM25
+  always, vector fusion only when the KB opted in; when fusion is active, hit
+  lines name the retrieval channels (`bm25+vector`) instead of a BM25 score,
+  and the zero-hit guidance adapts.
+- feat(skills): wiki-query expands hits with `graph neighbors`, traces
+  cross-topic questions with `graph path`, and states typed relations bound
+  verbatim to graph output (inventing a type is explicitly forbidden);
+  wiki-ingest/wiki-build guide typed `relations` frontmatter on pages already
+  being touched (backfill sweeps FORBIDDEN — O(1) ingest preserved);
+  wiki-lint orders semantic work by `graph hubs` and lists
+  `confidence: ambiguous` relations as the human-review queue.
+- fix(eval): probe `expect` ids are validated against non-invalidated pages
+  (symmetric with answer-eval — an invalidated id now exits 1 instead of
+  silently scoring 0).
+- tests/docs: pinned tests for the unknown-retrieval-mode error and pure-CJK
+  oversized-page embed capping; `locatePages` doc comment covers all three
+  retrieval modes. Suite 165 → 171.
+- Measured 2026-07-11 (./kb, 3 questions, same-model agents, old vs new
+  wiki-query text): graph CLI actually used in 3/3 runs (was 0/3), citations
+  +1 on 2/3 questions, expected-page coverage 4/4 in both arms; skill prompt
+  payload 5464 → 7166 bytes (~ +426 tokens), added runtime cost is zero-LLM
+  CLI calls only.
+
+## 0.5.0 (2026-07-11)
+
+No breaking changes, no KB migration, defaults unchanged. One behavior fix you
+may notice: `embed` no longer aborts the whole run when a page exceeds the
+embedding model's input limit — the text sent to the API is capped (~8000
+worst-case tokens, with a per-page stderr warning); the page file itself is
+never modified. Pin `@sdsrs/llm-wiki@0.4.1` to keep the previous (aborting)
+behavior.
+
+- feat(ask): `locatePages`/`askKb` accept `retrieval: 'auto' | 'bm25' | 'hybrid'`
+  (`auto` = existing behavior exactly; `bm25` forces lexical-only; `hybrid`
+  forces fusion and errors when vector prerequisites are missing instead of
+  degrading). Programmatic surface only — CLI behavior unchanged. `chatCompletion`
+  is now an exported helper.
+- fix(embed): oversized pages embed their head instead of killing the run —
+  input capped at ~8000 worst-case tokens (binary-search cut, lone-surrogate
+  trim at the boundary), per-page warning, incremental reuse unaffected for
+  pages under the cap.
+- Eval harness completed (dev, in-repo `scripts/eval/`): four probe classes
+  (fact / multihop / xlang / none), answer-level eval (abstention honesty +
+  3-dimension LLM-as-judge head-to-head with position-swap debiasing),
+  50/150-page scale corpora generated from local markdown (zero network),
+  experimental graph-degree RRF arm (measured negative on ./kb — recorded in
+  `scripts/eval/README.md`, not promoted to `ask`), and `run-all.mjs`
+  producing a single markdown report.
+- Measured 2026-07-11 (./kb 35pp + tiers, k=5): abstention on unanswerable
+  probes 100% for both bm25 and hybrid (n=4, zero fabrication); answer-level
+  head-to-head hybrid vs bm25 (n=24, judge gpt-5.1) — correctness 7-1-16,
+  citations 11-3-10, completeness 7-3-14 (wins-losses-ties); retrieval
+  Recall@5 bm25→hybrid: 35pp .688→.979, 50pp .600→1.000, 150pp .667→1.000
+  (no BM25-favored regime found in the 35–150 range).
+
 ## 0.4.1 (2026-07-11)
 
 Patch: all fixes, no new features, no deps, no KB migration. Defaults unchanged.
