 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.9.1] — 2026-08-25
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Recall now crosses a Korean particle when the token carries a digit.** A
+  bare query like `3반` finds a note titled `3반은 이론보다…`; the same bridge
+  covers `3분기`, `2호점` and the rest of the class that neither whole-term nor
+  substring matching could reach. Pure-Hangul matching is unchanged.
+- **A hosted recall asked in one language now finds a note written in another
+  when the semantic channel is confident.** When the embedding model has
+  measured both sides and prefers a candidate by a clear margin, that candidate
+  takes rank 1 — `refund policy` now surfaces the Korean refund note it used to
+  miss entirely. A retired or superseded note still never outranks an active
+  one. Local (offline) recall is unaffected, since it runs without the
+  semantic channel.
+- **An empty recall now says which LOCAL brains it did not read.** The hosted
+  half of this shipped in 0.9.0; a machine with two linked local brains and no
+  account still got advice about wording and nothing about the brain that was
+  never searched — three models in a row concluded a note on disk did not
+  exist. The footer names the searched brain and prints a runnable
+  `--vault` command for each of the others.
+
+### Agent guidance
+
+- The hub and `memgineering-writing` now tie `--reason` to attribution: write
+  "the user" unless a name was actually given, and never attribute a decision
+  to somebody the conversation has not mentioned. Measured before the clause:
+  one model invented a name in four writes out of four; after: zero in five.
+  Restart your agent session after upgrading so the refreshed guidance loads.
+
+
+## [0.9.0] — 2026-08-25
+
+### Added
+
+- **The six read commands can inspect another hosted brain without switching
+  the machine to it.** `recall`, `resurface`, `open`, `evidence`, `rules`, and
+  `log` now accept `--brain <name>` for one command, by name or id, and say
+  which brain answered. The stored `brain.cloud` pointer is unchanged. Unknown
+  names are refused with the account's list; signed-out use is refused
+  separately; `--local` and `--vault` are refused alongside `--brain` rather
+  than one option silently winning. The one-command target is not extended to
+  write verbs.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **A recall that finds nothing now says which brains it did not search.** On an
+  account with more than one hosted brain, `_Nothing matched._` used to be
+  followed only by advice about query wording — so a fact sitting in the next
+  brain read as a fact never written down. The empty result now names the
+  unsearched brains and prints a runnable `--brain` command for each, above the
+  wording advice. The lookup runs only when nothing matched, and a failure to
+  reach the server leaves the old footer rather than turning an empty result
+  into an error.
+- **A handle from `recall --brain <name>` or `resurface --brain <name>` can be
+  pasted and run.** The `open:` line printed an unqualified handle even when the
+  search had been aimed at another brain, so the tool's own printed instruction
+  resolved against the wrong brain and reported the ref as unknown. Aimed
+  elsewhere, both commands now print a whole runnable command —
+  `memgineering open <handle> --brain "<name>"` — rather than the `open:` label,
+  which read as a command without being one. On the brain this machine points
+  at, the label is unchanged.
+- **`open` on a hosted brain names the brain it searched.** `nothing in this
+brain matches: <ref>` did not say which brain that was, and its hint told a
+  CLI reader to issue a raw HTTP POST. It now names the brain, says handles
+  belong to the brain they were recalled from, and gives the `--brain` form.
+- **The zero-result footer stops claiming everything was searched.** It
+  enumerates the fields it looked at and printed below the line naming an
+  unsearched brain, so the last thing on screen read as an all-clear. It is now
+  scoped: "Within this brain, titles, aliases, summaries and note bodies are all
+  searched".
+- **The zero-result footer stops advising `--scope` to people who never passed
+  it.**
+- **`link --dry-run` points at the approval step that actually works.** Its
+  final line said to run again without `--dry-run`, but a non-interactive run
+  without it reaches the same refusal again. After the preview is approved, it
+  now names `--yes`, which records that decision and builds the index.
+
+### Agent guidance

+`memgineering-recall` documents one-command reads from another hosted brain.
