-## What's New in v3.0.2
-
-- **🖼️ Automatic Background Images** — Every slide now has a contextual background image from Unsplash (free, no API key)
-- **Smart Image Matching** — Images are selected based on slide type and content keywords
-- **Cinematic Dark Overlay** — 40% opacity images with gradient overlay for guaranteed text readability
-- **Playwright Visual QA** — Screenshot verification of every slide to ensure visual quality
-- **QA Image Verification** — Visual QA now validates that background images are present
-
-### Previous in v3.0.1
-
-- **Knowledge-Driven Orchestration** — All decisions route through RuVector knowledge base (6,300+ lines of expert methodology)
-- **VisionQA Engine** — Optional Claude multimodal visual analysis for slide rendering validation
-- **NanoBanana Pro Integration** — AI image generation using Google Gemini (optional, with GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY)
-- **Multi-Agent Consensus Validation** — Expert agents (Duarte, Reynolds, Minto, Tufte, Gallo, Anderson) provide weighted assessments
-- **Semantic Completeness Validator** — Ensures presentation covers all key topics from source content
-- **7 Specialized Presentation Types** — TED Keynote, Sales Pitch, Consulting Deck, Investment Banking, Investor Pitch, Technical Presentation, All Hands
-- **Investment Banking Charts** — Football field, waterfall, sources & uses tables, comparable companies analysis
-- **Professional Typography** — Google Fonts for each presentation type
-- **100% Zero Cost by Default** — No API keys required, optional AI features when keys available
+## What's New in v4.0.0 — True Knowledge-Driven Architecture
+
+**The Knowledge Base now DRIVES everything at runtime — no more hardcoded specs.**
+
+### Breaking Changes
+- `PresentationEngineV2` now requires Knowledge Base YAML at runtime
+- All design specs loaded from KB, not constants in code
+
+### New Features
+- **📚 Runtime KB Loading** — The 6,300+ line YAML knowledge base is parsed at runtime, not duplicated in code
+- **🎯 H3 Action Title Extraction** — Markdown H3 headings become slide titles (McKinsey "so what" principle)
+- **📊 Tables Preserved Correctly** — Tables stay as tables, never mangled into metric cards
+- **🚫 No Orphan Slides** — Minimum 3 bullets per slide, balanced distribution
+- **✅ 95+ Quality Threshold** — Engine fails if quality score below 95/100
+
+### Knowledge Base Integration
+- Word limits from `presentation_types.{type}.validation_rules.words_per_slide`
+- Bullet limits from `presentation_types.{type}.validation_rules.bullets_per_slide`
+- Theme from `presentation_types.{type}.color_palette`
+- Experts from `presentation_types.{type}.primary_experts`
+- Scoring weights from `presentation_types.{type}.scoring_weights`
+
+### 7 Specialized Presentation Types
+| Type | Theme | Words/Slide | Key Experts |
+|------|-------|-------------|-------------|
+| `ted_keynote` | Dark | 1-15 | Duarte, Reynolds, Anderson |
+| `sales_pitch` | Modern | 10-30 | Cialdini, Heath |
+| `consulting_deck` | McKinsey | 40-80 | Minto, McKinsey, BCG |
+| `investment_banking` | McKinsey | 60-120 | Wall Street Prep |
+| `investor_pitch` | Startup | 5-30 | Sequoia, YC |
+| `technical_presentation` | Dark | 40-100 | Tufte, C4 Model |
+| `all_hands` | Minimal | 15-40 | Internal Comms |
