 All notable changes to `@yawlabs/mcph` are documented here. This project uses [semantic versioning](https://semver.org) and a CI-gated release flow: pushing a `vX.Y.Z` tag triggers `.github/workflows/release.yml`, which publishes to npm.
 
+## 0.36.0 — 2026-04-18
+
+- **Negative signal in dispatch ranking (`boostFactor` penalty branch)** — The learning store's `boostFactor` now drops *below* 1.0 for namespaces with flaky history, mirroring the existing upward boost. Threshold is the same ≥3 dispatches / <80% success gate used by discover's inline reliability warning (v0.35.0) and health's cross-session block (v0.34.0) — so a server flagged flaky in those views also loses rank points at dispatch time rather than quietly continuing to win routing. Floor is `-10%` (`LEARNING_MIN_BOOST = 0.9`), symmetric with the existing `+10%` ceiling. Rate-based signal trumps count-based: a namespace with 10 successes but a 50% overall rate is flaky, not useful, and the penalty branch beats the positive branch in that case.
+
 ## 0.35.0 — 2026-04-18
 
 - **Inline reliability warning in `mcp_connect_discover`** — Discover now annotates dormant (not currently loaded) servers with `reliability: P% success across N past calls` when persisted learning shows ≥3 dispatches and <80% success. Renders under the server card right after the live health warning, so the LLM sees the flaky history *before* it picks a server to activate — not only after `handleHealth` surfaces it post-hoc. Thresholds match the cross-session reliability block from v0.34.0 so the two views stay consistent. Suppressed for loaded servers (the live per-call warning already covers them with fresher data).
