+### Added
+
+- **`mcpName` field in `package.json`**, required by the official MCP registry
+  (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io) to verify that whoever publishes `server.json` under
+  `io.github.yaminbkk/nexusmem` also controls the `nexusmem` npm package itself — the registry
+  rejects a publish attempt otherwise. No behavior change for CLI/MCP users; this is purely a
+  registry-ownership proof.
+- **`list_recent_memory` MCP tool** — chronological listing of a repository's most recently
+  remembered nodes (git commits, diffs, shell commands, docs, conversation, session summaries),
+  newest first. Distinct from `search_memory`: no query, just "what has this project's memory
+  recorded lately" — built for the VS Code extension's sidebar view, which lists rather than
+  searches. Backed by `MemoryStore.listRecentNodes`, reusing the existing `idx_nodes_project_ts`
+  index.
+- **`sync --prune-source <name>` and `sync --prune-stale-shell`** — drop one source's nodes without a
+  full `--rebuild`, which loses history that can't be re-read from disk (the shell tail window, older
+  conversation turns). `--prune-stale-shell` is a shortcut for the three dead pre-hook shell-scrape
+  sources (`shell:pwsh`, `shell:bash`, `shell:zsh`) at once. Dry-run by default — prints the matching
+  count and does nothing until `--yes` is also given, since this is an irreversible full wipe of the
+  named source(s), unlike `--rebuild`'s no-prompt full-project reset. Also sweeps any prior project
+  identity of this same repo (the id a renamed git remote leaves behind after
+  `fix(store): reconcile memory stranded by a changed git remote URL` migrates what it can) — a
+  live-id-only prune could not reach nodes reconciliation deliberately left in place. Exposed on both
+  the CLI and the MCP `sync_project` tool.
+- **Discussion-heuristic failure→fix chains now surface**, tightened to an AND-joined significant-
+  token match instead of the original OR match. Re-verified against this repo's own real database:
+  5/5 discussion links correct (was ~half wrong when it shipped unsurfaced in 0.3.0). Chains now
+  follow across projects in `query --all-projects` too.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`sync_project`'s summary no longer contains raw ANSI color codes on Windows.** `runInit`/`runSync`
+  format their output with picocolors for terminal display, and picocolors treats `platform ===
+  'win32'` as sufficient evidence of color support on its own, without checking `isTTY` — correct for
+  a real terminal, wrong for the MCP JSON-RPC channel, which is piped on every platform. Found live: a
+  real MCP client (the VS Code extension's Output channel) rendered the raw escape codes as literal
+  text instead of color. Stripped at the MCP boundary in `syncProject`, leaving the CLI's own terminal
+  output untouched.

 Exit codes are what make this worth installing. A failed command is a stronger signal than a
 successful one, and without the hook there is no way to tell them apart.
 
+## Failure → fix chains (opt-in)
+
+```bash
+nexusmem sync --link-failures
+```
+
+After a normal sync, this walks every failed `shell_command` (non-zero exit code) and looks for
+whatever later resolved it, using two independent heuristics: a later command in the same project
+and working directory, exact same normalized text, that exited `0` within 24h (**same-command
+retry**); and, separately, the best full-text match among nearby conversation turns or session
+summaries, requiring every significant word of the failing command to appear, not just one
+(**conversation bridge**). A failure can be linked by either, both, or neither.
+
+Both links are surfaced in query results. The conversation-bridge heuristic originally matched on
+any shared word, and dogfooding against this repo's own real history found it wrong on roughly half
+its links — a shared word as generic as "npm" was enough to link an unrelated discussion. Requiring
+every significant word fixed that: re-dogfooded against the same corpus, every resulting link (the
+full set produced, not a sample) checked out correct on manual review of the full text, not just the
+summary.
+
+When a linked failure appears in a result set, its fix rides along immediately after it, inheriting
+the failure's own relevance score rather than needing to match the query on its own merits. That is
+the point: a query about why something failed shouldn't need to separately guess the words used in
+whatever fixed it. This works across projects too — `query --all-projects` chains a failure to its
+fix using whichever project's own database recorded the link, since links are always local to the
+project they were found in.
