 # CHANGELOG
 
-## Unreleased
+## 0.5.0 - 2026-05-15
+
+### Added
+
+- Add `birdclaw import archive --select` for importing targeted archive slices while preserving unselected local data.
+- Add `birdclaw sync authored` for filling own-tweet gaps from `xurl` after the archive cutoff. Thanks @cavit99.
+- Add live `sync mentions` and `sync mention-threads --mode xurl` ingestion for current mention data and conversation context. Thanks @cavit99.
+- Add `birdclaw media fetch` plus archive bundled-media extraction and live media variant persistence for local originals caching. Thanks @cavit99.
+- Add a `/links` web lane for Hacker News-style top URL and video-provider insights with today, week, month, year, and all-time ranges.
+- Import archive `follower.js`/`following.js` files into the local follow graph and add archive-authored tweet edges so fresh archive imports are immediately queryable without live sync. Thanks @cavit99.
+- Add cache-first followers/following sync, local follow graph queries, and backup/export support for graph snapshots and churn events. Thanks @ma08.
+- Hydrate missing link-discussion profile avatars through `bird`/`xurl` so hover sheets can upgrade archive placeholders into real profile cards.
+- Add inline tweet conversation expansion in the web timeline, preserving the selected reply's parent chain before broad thread context.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Update npm dependencies, including React, Vite, Vitest, Playwright, Tailwind, Kysely, TanStack packages, oxlint, and oxfmt.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Seed demo link insight data before direct `/links` route loads, so the lane is populated even when it is the first web route opened.
+- Isolate the default `bird` command config test from the maintainer's local `~/.birdclaw/config.json`.
+- Skip non-numeric archive placeholder IDs such as self-DM conversation IDs when hydrating profiles through X, so one malformed local ID no longer aborts the batch. Thanks @nfarina.
+- Include expanded short URLs and link occurrences in Git-friendly backups so linked-tweet search survives backup restore.
+- Prefer `bird` for follow graph sync in `auto` mode, keeping `xurl` as an explicit fallback for accounts where OAuth2 follow reads work.
+- Update the docs site and app icons to use the Birdclaw crab-bird mark instead of the generic bird logo.
+
+## 0.4.1 - 2026-05-11
+
+### Added
+
+- Add a first-class short-link index for `t.co` URLs, including `links backfill` and `search links` so DM shares can be found through expanded tweet text, authors, dates, and media filters.

+### Media fetch
+
+`birdclaw media fetch` fills the local originals cache at
+`~/.birdclaw/media/originals/<media_key>.<ext>` for tweet media URLs already
+stored in `tweets.media_json`. Images come from `pbs.twimg.com`, videos and
+animated GIFs from `video.twimg.com` (highest-bitrate mp4 variant; HLS-only
+media is skipped).
+
+Live syncers (`sync mentions`, `sync mention-threads`, `sync likes`, `sync
+bookmarks`, `sync timeline`) persist `media_json` with `variants[]` ride-along
+metadata so `media fetch` has URLs to download from. Archive-imported tweets
+already carry that shape. Before falling back to HTTP, `media fetch` looks for
+bytes already extracted by `import archive` under
+`~/.birdclaw/media/originals/archive/tweets/<tweetId>/` and copies those into
+the canonical path; reuses are counted in the JSON output as
+`reused_from_archive` and never spend CDN bandwidth.
+
+Legal posture: this is a respectful client-rendering cache, not a scraper. The
+command never enumerates, crawls, or derives Twitter/X CDN URLs. It only
+fetches URLs that birdclaw already has from an archive or API/live sync
+record, skips files that already exist locally, sends a birdclaw user agent,
+paces image requests sequentially by default, caps optional image parallelism
+at five, runs video downloads serially with their own `--video-pacing-ms`,
+streams response bodies to a `.tmp` file with `Range: bytes=<size>-` resume,
+caps each file at `--max-bytes` (100MB default), backs off on `429`, and
+relies on the local file cache for idempotency.
+
+Thumbnail generation and automatic invocation from sync commands are
+intentionally left out. Run it separately, for example from cron or launchd
+every few hours:
+
+```bash
+birdclaw media fetch --json
+birdclaw media fetch --dry-run --limit 20
+birdclaw media fetch --include-video --video-pacing-ms 1500 --max-bytes 209715200 --json
+birdclaw media fetch --no-include-video --parallel 3 --pacing-ms 250 --json
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `--include-video` is on by default; pass `--no-include-video` for images
+  only
+- `--kind`, `--since`, and `--limit` scope which tweet rows are inspected
+- `--parallel` applies to image fetches only; video fetches stay serial
+- JSON output reports `images_fetched`, `videos_fetched`, `gifs_fetched`,
+  `reused_from_archive`, and per-kind byte counters

+Optional profile hydration can improve bios, follower counts, and avatars, but it performs live X profile reads and can spend API credits on large archives:

+```bash
 birdclaw import hydrate-profiles --json

+`import archive` is idempotent. Re-running parses follower/following edges into the local follow graph, streams bundled media files under `data/tweets_media/`, `data/direct_messages_media/`, and the other archive media folders into `~/.birdclaw/media/originals/archive/<kind>/<id>/`, and pulls `video_info.variants[]` so archive video and animated-GIF rows carry mp4 URLs for the live media fetcher. Already-extracted files are skipped when size matches.

+`auto` tries `xurl` first for likes/bookmarks, then falls back to `bird`. Use `bird` directly when the API path is unavailable for the account/token you have locally. For repeated xurl collection syncs, add `--early-stop` to stop paging once a whole page already exists locally; without `--all` or `--max-pages`, it caps at 10 pages.
 
 ```bash
+pnpm cli sync authored --mode xurl --limit 100 --json
 pnpm cli sync likes --mode auto --limit 100 --refresh --json
 pnpm cli sync bookmarks --mode auto --limit 100 --refresh --json

+Mention context is a two-step sync pipeline: run `sync mentions` to ingest recent mention rows with `kind='mention'`, then run `sync mention-threads --mode xurl` to fill parent/root conversation context.
+
+### Follow graph queries
+
+Follow graph sync is cache-first and defaults to dry-run so repeated agent queries do not keep spending live reads. `auto` prefers `bird` for this path and falls back to `xurl`.
+
+```bash
+pnpm cli sync followers --json
+pnpm cli sync following --json
+pnpm cli sync followers --yes --json
+pnpm cli sync following --yes --json
+pnpm cli sync followers --mode bird --yes --json
+pnpm cli graph summary --json
+pnpm cli graph events --since 2026-05-01 --json
+pnpm cli graph top-followers --limit 20 --json
+pnpm cli graph unfollowed --date 2026-05-01 --json
+pnpm cli graph non-mutual-following --sort followers --limit 100 --json
+pnpm cli graph mutuals --json
+```
+
+Use `--refresh` only when you intentionally want a new live fetch. The `graph` commands are local SQLite reads and never call X. See [follow-graph.md](docs/follow-graph.md) for long-term agent usage notes.
