 All notable changes to the `minnimemory` package. Dates are publish dates; an entry that has not
 been published yet says `unreleased` and gets its date on the day it goes out.
 
+## 1.1.0 - 2026-10-06
+
+- Kept: the memory-folder list header still says "Read one file, not its siblings." Dropping it
+  made the agent search the routed file instead of opening it, and a measured working session
+  saved 15% instead of 27%.
+- Fixed: an `@import` written with a Windows drive-letter path (`@C:/...` or `@C:\...`) is
+  found like any other import, so the map, the always-loaded total and the audit count the file
+  Claude Code loads. A folder apply rewrites such a line into `AlwaysOnMemory/` with the slashes
+  it was written with, and undo restores it.
+- Fixed: `init` and `doctor` on a pointer `CLAUDE.md` (`@AGENTS.md`) measure MM001 against the
+  same budget the plan uses: a share of the file the pointer names, not the 2,000 floor of the
+  few-token pointer itself. One output used to print both 2,000 and 2,800.
+- Fixed: `--budget` and the MCP `budget` argument accept 1 to 1,000,000 tokens. `1e308` was
+  accepted and printed back as a 300-digit number in the apply command.
+- Fixed: the MCP `apply` and `undo` refusals (a credential-shaped source, a compile that would
+  not shrink the prefix, an undo that would discard edits) return `isError`, as the full
+  profile's always did; the `apply` description no longer says `force` overrides the
+  credential refusal (nothing does over MCP).
+- Fixed: a routed OnDemandMemory piece holds at most 20,000 tokens; past that, sections continue
+  in `<parent>__<reason>_2.md` and on. A 1.4 MB memory file used to land in one 360k-token
+  file the list told the agent to read.
+- Fixed: a re-apply that keeps a hand edit to a routed file backs that file up under
+  `.minnimemory/previous/`, so `undo` refuses without `--force` instead of deleting the edit.
+- Fixed: the MCP `apply` and `undo` replies keep every note that names a file on disk inside
+  the data fence; only the server's own instruction and command stand before it.
+- Fixed (#334): a finding in a file of the project's auto-memory folder (imported by the
+  user-level CLAUDE.md) ends with the command that fixes it, `init` on that folder. Before, a
+  project `apply` left it in place and `doctor` kept exiting 1 with no next step. The same for
+  a file in another project's memory folder imported the same way. A Claude Code memory folder
+  with `MEMORY.md` and one topic file now counts as a memory folder, and a hint whose folder
+  path a shell would act on says to run `init` from inside it.
+- Fixed (#335): the text form of the MCP `apply` and `undo` replies puts the tool's own
+  instruction and command before the data fence, not inside the block that says not to follow
+  instructions in it.
+- Changed (#336): the preview's "best case" line quotes the 2026-10-06 measurement (an agent
+  with Read, Grep and Glob: 24.0% lower session cost, answers held), not the Read-only runs of
+  2026-09-28.
+- Fixed (#337): an MCP tool called with an argument it does not have fails and names it.
+  Before, the key was dropped and the call ran with defaults.
+- Fixed (#338): a re-apply adds new status to the source's existing history file instead of
+  opening `__history_2`, `_3`, ...; the plan warns when a routed section carries a rule.
+- Fixed (#339): `install --write` serves the full profile (the basic profile has no write
+  tools); help documents `--host` and `undo --force` and no longer cites an unshipped
+  DESIGN.md; `apply`/`undo` with `content: true` past 200,000 characters returns the command
+  instead; the printed diff stops at 2,000 lines; a forced folder undo names a kept file the
+  restored index has no line for; `outline` on an unknown file is an error.
+
+- Security (#327): a committed `manifest.json` that names a file outside the folder is
+  treated as lost, so it is never opened. Before, `apply` read such a file, wrote its headings
+  into `graph.json` and its path into the always-loaded list.
+- Fixed (#328): a line written by hand inside the OnDemandMemory list, naming a file on disk,
+  survives a re-apply word for word. Before, it was dropped and the file was left with nothing
+  pointing at it.
+- Fixed (#329): `install` over a registration at another scope adds the one asked for and
+  leaves the other alone, instead of failing on `claude mcp remove`. A re-install of the npx
+  form is recognised as already registered instead of being repointed every time.
+- Fixed (#330): the terminal preview's full diff leaves out `.minnimemory/graph.json` and
+  `manifest.json`; the operation list still names them. A 4,000-line changelog printed 104,138
+  lines, now 8,084.
+- Fixed (#331): `install` replaces Claude Code's `settings.json` whole or not at all.
+- Fixed (#332): a merged OnDemandMemory file is described as "first through last" once,
+  `--budget` takes whole numbers only, `engines` is `node >=18.3` (the CLI uses
+  `util.parseArgs`), and the lockfile no longer pins dependency versions with advisories.
+
+- Fixed (#298): `doctor --budget 2000` is used as given, not replaced by the compiled or
+  default budget. Before, an explicit 2,000 read as "no budget given", so MM001 measured
+  against another number than the summary line printed, and `doctor --budget 2000 --ci`
+  passed a file it called over budget. With no `--budget`, MM001 still reads the compiled
+  budget, and the summary line now prints the budget MM001 used.
+- Fixed (#303): the memory map no longer calls a `CLAUDE.md` that only mentions `AGENTS.md` a
+  pointer while listing `AGENTS.md` as not loaded. The setup block says the host names the file
+  but does not import it, and the not-loaded line says to make `CLAUDE.md` hold `@AGENTS.md`.
+- Fixed (#304): apply after a host rename names the renamed backup
+  (`CLAUDE.md.bak -> AGENTS.md.bak`) and says the host was renamed, over MCP too.
+- Docs (#299): the 40 percent saving holds only above the 2,000-token floor, about 3,300
+  tokens of host file.
+- Added: the memory map that opens `init` starts with a `setup` block: the host file, the file
+  it points at when it is only a pointer, the one file `apply` rewrites, and whether it is
+  compiled. When the project holds an `AGENTS.md` that Claude Code does not load, the map ends
+  with a `not loaded by Claude Code` group naming each one and the reason. `init --json` and
+  the MCP reply carry both as `setup` and `notLoaded`.
+- Fixed: a compiled host file renamed afterwards (`CLAUDE.md` to `AGENTS.md`, with or without
+  a pointer left behind) is the same host. Before, `doctor` reported the old name as missing or
+  edited and said to re-apply, `apply` answered "nothing to apply", and the two never agreed.
+  Now `doctor` reports the rename once, one `apply` carries the manifest and the backups over
+  to the new name, and `undo` restores the original into the file that holds the memory now.
+- Fixed (#297): a pointer `CLAUDE.md` rewritten by hand, so that it no longer reaches the
+  compiled file, is reported as drift. `doctor` names both files and says what to do (put the
+  pointer back, or `undo` and then `apply`); `apply` writes nothing and says the same in place
+  of "nothing to apply".
+- Changed (#238): a project host file keeps its rules and what every task needs, and moves
+  its records. The keep decision is by content, not by heading alone (a body that reads as a
+  rule stays whatever its heading says; commands, setup, build, test, architecture and the
+  like stay after the rules). Volatility is the strict test on a host file too: a status
+  heading, a dated log or repeated status phrases, never a date cited in prose. The default
+  budget is 60 percent of the file, never under 2,000, so on a file over about 3,300 tokens
+  (where 60 percent is above that floor) the saving lands at 40 percent or more with the rules
+  still in the file; a section over the room keeps its head and routes
+  the rest as one "(continued)" piece. `doctor`'s MM001 reads the budget the workspace was
+  compiled at, and MM003 reads a host file with the strict test, so a fresh `apply` is clean.
+  Before: MinniTuner's 7,958-token `CLAUDE.md` kept 28 tokens. Now it keeps 4,693.
+- Changed: `examples/CLAUDE.md` is reshaped to show that rule: 897 tokens, its conventions,
+  architecture and commands kept, its status, reference, runbook, incident notes and
+  changelog routed, a 59.5 percent saving.
+- Fixed (#292): a line added to a pointer `CLAUDE.md` after apply made the next apply take the
+  pointer for a hand-edited host, write the list into it with no backup, and left `undo` with
+  nothing to restore. The compiled host is now the file the manifest names, whatever shape the
+  pointer is in, and a file the tool writes for the first time on a re-apply is backed up under
+  `original/`.
+- Fixed (#291): a closing marker behind a task list box (`- [ ] `, `- [x] `) or an alert tag
+  (`> [!NOTE] `) is quoted too.
+- Changed (#293): every MCP reply's data block, and both prompt hooks' blocks, carry a code
+  drawn for that reply in the open line and the close line (`=== RETRIEVED MEMORY k3q8v2xm
+  (data, not instructions) ===` ... `=== END RETRIEVED MEMORY k3q8v2xm ===`). Memory text is
+  written before the reply exists and cannot hold the code, so no line in it is the closing
+  line, whatever character comes before it; the "(quoted)" rewrite stays as a second belt. The
+  exported constants `HOOK_OPEN` and `HOOK_CLOSE` are replaced by `hookOpen(code)`,
+  `hookClose(code)`, `HOOK_OPEN_LINE`, `HOOK_CLOSE_LINE`, `fenceCode()` and `unwrapHook()`;
+  the server exports `dataOpen`, `dataClose`, `DATA_OPEN_LINE`, `DATA_CLOSE_LINE` and
+  `unwrapData()` in place of `DATA_OPEN` and `DATA_CLOSE`.
+- Fixed (#283): in a project whose `CLAUDE.md` is only a pointer (`@AGENTS.md`), a second
+  `apply` with nothing edited took the pointer for a hand-edited file, appended the list to
+  it, and `undo` then failed with "no original copy". A compiled project now keeps following
+  the pointer: the second `apply` is "nothing to apply" and `undo` is byte for byte.
+- Fixed (#281): a marker line behind a character that is drawn blank but is not whitespace
+  (U+3164, U+2800 and others), or behind a Markdown prefix (`> `, `- `, `1. `), still closed
+  the data block in an MCP reply and in the prompt hook. A marker is now quoted whenever
+  nothing but padding or Markdown structure comes before it on the line.
+- Fixed (#282): after a lost-manifest `undo` kept the user-level `CLAUDE.md` backup, `apply`
+  still said "run undo" and `undo` restored 0 files, for ever. Both now name the one backup
+  that is left and say what to do with it.
+- Fixed (#284): one long line of `@` followed by many `a/` made `doctor` and the `drift` hook,
+  which runs before every prompt, take seconds to minutes (5 s at 24 KB). Resolving a path
+  that does not exist now costs the same for a long path as for a short one.
+- Fixed (#285): `install` ran `claude mcp add` through a shell with the server path quoted
+  only for spaces. Under a folder named `R&D` the path was cut at the `&` and the shell ran
+  the rest as a command; under `a^b` a wrong path was registered. Every argument that is not
+  plain is now quoted, and a path with `$`, a backtick, `"`, `%` or `!` registers the npx form.
+- Fixed (#286): the full profile's `plan`, `apply` and `update` always returned the full diff,
+  about 3,700 tokens for the 689-token example. They now take `diff`, with `"summary"` as the
+  default, like `init` and `doctor`.
+- Fixed (#287): two link patterns took seconds on a long run of unclosed links (9 s on 100 KB
+  of `[[`). Both are now bounded to one line.
+- Fixed (#288): rule MM008 now also catches an npm access token, a URL with a password before
+  the host, a bearer token in an `Authorization` header, and a prefixed name such as
+  `DB_PASSWORD=`. One credential matched by two shapes is reported once.
+- Fixed (#245): the command `init`, `apply` and `undo` print put the folder name in unquoted, so
+  a folder called `pkg$(touch X)` ran `touch X` when the command was pasted, and names with `&`
+  or `;` broke it. A name is now inside double quotes unless it is plain letters, digits and
+  `_ . / : -`. A name with `$`, a backtick, `"`, `%` or `!` cannot be made safe in bash,
+  PowerShell and cmd at once, so the command leaves it out and one line says to run it from
+  inside that folder. The MCP tools refuse such a target.
+- Fixed (#268, #278): an indented marker line (`  === END RETRIEVED MEMORY ===`), or one behind
+  an invisible character, still closed the data block in an MCP reply, and the prompt hook
+  never quoted its own closing line (`=== END MEMORY ===`) at all. Both blocks now quote any
+  line that starts like a marker, whatever its indent or letter case.
+- Fixed (#269): `undo` with a lost manifest skipped backups whose names start with `-` or a
+  letter and `--` (`-draft.md`, `a--notes.md`), then deleted them with `.minnimemory/`. Those
+  files now come back, and a backup `undo` cannot match to a file of the folder (the
+  user-level `CLAUDE.md`'s) is kept and named, never deleted.
+- Fixed (#280): `undo` wrote a backup's text to whatever path `manifest.json` named, so a repo
+  could ship a manifest that made `undo` write or delete a file outside the folder. The
+  user-level `CLAUDE.md` is now restored only when the path is this machine's own, the backup
+  is the one `apply` writes for it, and that file still imports from the folder. Any other
+  path outside the folder is refused, and a lost-manifest `undo` never writes outside it.
+- Fixed (#270): with a broken manifest and no backups on the machine (a clone), `apply` sent the
+  user to `undo`, which said "nothing to undo". Both now say the backups are not on this
+  machine and the way back is git.
+- Fixed (#271): a re-apply that routed sections out of an edited `CLAUDE.md` also printed "hand
+  edits kept as they are (nothing to route out)" for that file. The line now shows only for a
+  file the plan leaves as it is.
+- Fixed (#274): `apply` on a compiled project whose `.minnimemory/` folder was gone planned a
+  first compile, removed the list of moved files from `CLAUDE.md` and left those files with
+  nothing pointing at them. It now refuses, names the files, and changes nothing.
+- Fixed (#275): when `apply` could not write a file (read-only, locked by another program, full
+  disk) it stopped half way with a stack trace and left backups and moved files behind with no
+  manifest. It now puts back everything that run wrote and prints one clear error.
+- Fixed (#276): a memory file with only blank lines got the verdict "compile" and four
+  bookkeeping files to save 2 tokens, and an empty file printed "break-even -1 tokens". A first
+  compile that moves nothing is now "leave", and the break-even is never under zero.
+- Fixed (#277): `--help` now lists the `loaded` command that `install` adds as a hook.
+- Fixed (#246): with `.minnimemory/manifest.json` missing or unreadable (a git conflict is
+  enough), `apply` planned a first compile, backed up the trimmed file over the real original
+  and dropped the list. It now refuses and changes nothing; `apply` never writes over a backup
+  under `original/`; `doctor` names the state once instead of advising a re-apply; and `undo`
+  (with `--force`, since it cannot see edits) restores every backup from `original/`.
+- Fixed (#247): `undo` listed `.claude/` (and `.claude/OnDemandMemory/`) for deletion even when
+  it held the project's settings or a hand-written file, and told a host that cannot run
+  commands to delete every listed path. A folder is now listed only when everything in it
+  leaves with the undo.
+- Fixed (#248): memory text holding the data block's own closing line ended the block early in
+  every read tool's reply. Such a line is now shown with "(quoted)" and a note; the JSON form
+  is unchanged.
+- Fixed (#249, full profile): `update` wrote a first compile that `apply` had refused; it now
+  re-applies only. The server instructions name exactly the tools loaded; `plan` lost its dead
+  `update` option; `doctor` refuses an unknown rule id; `apply`'s description matches what it does.
+- Fixed (#250): one routed file deleted by hand made `recall` fail for every question. It is
+  now skipped and named, `modules` marks it missing, and the advice says to re-apply, not
+  "rerun init".
+- Changed (#251): `undo`, MM011 and the README now say plainly that undo works only on the
+  machine that ran `apply` (the backups are gitignored); on a clone the way back is git history.
+- Fixed (#252): a re-apply's plan said "saves -2 tokens" and "costs 7,924 more than today". It
+  now says "verdict: re-apply" with the before and after size, and no break-even.
+- Fixed (#253): a re-apply after a hand edit backed the host file up twice.
+- Fixed (#254): a very small file gained a made-up "<title> overview" heading, a "kept out"
+  line for a section that stayed, and a negative break-even. None of the three appear now.
+- Fixed (#255): MCP replies named terminal flags and commands (`--budget`, `--force`,
+  `--allow-secrets`, `node ... apply`); they now name the tool's options and `apply()`. The
+  terminal output is unchanged. The auto-memory install hint is built in `commands.ts`.
+- Added (#256): `init` with `format: "json"` (MCP) and `init --json` (terminal) carry the
+  memory map under `map`.
+- Fixed (#257): `content: true`'s text form used a three-backtick fence for every file, so a
+  file with its own code block broke the split. Each fence is now longer than any run inside.
+- Changed: the preview no longer uses one label for two totals. `doctor`'s check says
+  `all always-loaded files`; the plan says `always-loaded, files this plan rewrites`. Scripts
+  that read the old `always-loaded prefix:` line need the new text.
+- Changed: a compile plan now says its saving is a best case (kept only on turns that open none
+  of the moved files) and cites the measured sessions.
+- Added: a plan warning when a file keeps under a tenth of its tokens, so rules going out with
+  the rest are visible. Routing itself is unchanged.
+- Fixed: the `minnimemory` command printed nothing on Linux and macOS when run through npm's
+  symlink (`npx -y minnimemory --version`). It now compares real paths. `install` registers the
+  real file, not the symlink. 1.0.0 has this bug, so it needs a new release.
+- Fixed: MM002 no longer calls a table of paths and commands a directory listing.
+- Fixed: `apply` drops list keywords from the end so the lines it writes stay under the MM006
+  cap (120 characters, one keyword at least). Lines already under the cap are unchanged.
+- Fixed: diff headers no longer show `a//home/...` for an absolute path.
+- Added (tests only, no change to the package): the compatibility test. Each release saves its
+  compiled sample repo as a fixture (`scripts/save-compat-fixture.mjs`, run on the bundled
+  build), and `tests/compat.test.ts` checks this build still reads every fixture inside the
+  support window of 6 months or 3 minor versions: `doctor` has no high finding, and every
+  routed piece is still listed and found. A release that breaks one must be a major. The
+  Minni orchestrator's launcher relies on it (Suite/MinniHQ/docs/DESIGN.md 0.9). The
+  fixture for 1.0.0 is saved.

-

-- Errors thrown across a service boundary are typed. No bare `throw new Error`.

-

-
-Unit tests run with `npm test`. Integration tests need a database: `npm run db:up` then

+# Ledger API
+
+Ledger is a small double-entry bookkeeping service: a Fastify HTTP API over Postgres, with a
+nightly reconciliation worker. Single package, TypeScript throughout.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- All money is stored as integer cents. Never use floats for currency anywhere.
+- Every write goes through a repository function. Route handlers never touch the database.
+- Errors thrown across a service boundary are typed. No bare `throw new Error`.
+- Prefer small pull requests. One behaviour change per PR.
+- Never log a token, even truncated.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Requests enter through `src/http/`, which validates and hands off to `src/services/`. Services
+compose repository calls from `src/repo/` inside a single transaction per request. The
+reconciliation worker in `src/worker/` reuses the same services and runs on a cron schedule.
+There is no message queue.
+
+## Commands
+
+- `npm test` runs the unit tests. Integration tests need a database: `npm run db:up`, then
+  `npm run test:integration`. Run them before any pull request that touches `src/repo/`.
+- `npm run test:reconcile` is the slow reconciliation suite.
+- `npm run migrate:new <name>` adds a migration; edit the generated file.
+
+## Current status
+
+As of 2026-08-30 the billing rewrite is in progress and blocked on review of the new posting
+rules. The flaky reconciliation test is still skipped. Next steps: land the posting rules, then
+unskip the test, then cut 1.4.0.
+
+## Authentication
+
+Bearer tokens are verified against the auth service on every request, cached for sixty seconds
+by token hash. Service-to-service calls use a signed header, not a bearer token. The cache is
+keyed by token hash, so a revoked token can stay valid for up to a minute.
+
+## Error handling
+
+Every service throws one of the typed errors in `src/errors.ts`. The HTTP layer maps them to
+status codes in exactly one place, `src/http/errorMap.ts`. Unknown errors become a 500 with a
+correlation id and are never surfaced to the client with their message.
+
+## Deployment
+
+Pushing to main builds a container and deploys to staging automatically. Production is a
+manual promotion from the staging build. Migrations run before the new version starts; a
+migration that cannot roll back must be split into two deploys. Rollback is a promotion of the
+previous staging build; the database is not rolled back, which is why migrations are additive.
+
+## Common tasks
+
+- Add an endpoint: schema in `src/http/schemas/`, handler in `src/http/routes/`, service call.
+- Rotate the signing key: update the secret, deploy, then revoke the old key after one hour.
+- Replay a day of postings: `npm run replay -- --date YYYY-MM-DD`, on staging first.
+
+## Incident notes
+
+- 2026-08-26 the reconciliation worker double-posted a batch after a retry; fixed by the
+  idempotency key on `postBatch`. Watch for `duplicate posting` in the worker log.
+- 2026-08-12 staging ran out of connections under the load test; the pool went from 10 to 25.
+- 2026-07-30 a migration locked `postings` for four minutes; migrations now run `CONCURRENTLY`.
+- 2026-07-16 the auth cache served a revoked token for a minute; accepted, documented above.
