 # Changelog
 
+## [0.23.0] — 2026-09-10
+
+- Add local semantic and keyword search over recorded conversations with source references, bounded retention, edit replacement, and backend/agent isolation.
+- Add live assignment lookup and intent-based discovery of currently advertised tools, including a task-offer cue in every agent cycle.
+- Expose two on-demand Mastra skills for assignment handling and conversation recall through the native runtime MCP bridge.
+- Run local embedding inference outside the agent loop, preserve keyword fallback during model download/failure, and keep live task state authoritative.
+- Known dependency finding: FastEmbed's ONNX installer inherits the `adm-zip` audit findings documented in the README. Local and simulated runtime tests pass; live team/model behavior requires validation in a safe test organization.
+
 ## [0.22.0] — 2026-09-10
 
 - Carry the agent’s configured role and voice through every session, with cached identity when the roster is unavailable.

 Codex and OpenCode cycles run through Mastra's ACP harness. Codex uses the packaged `codex-acp` adapter and reuses the machine's existing ChatGPT/Codex login; OpenCode uses its native `opencode acp` server. Each accepted ticket gets its own ACP session and worktree. Mastra Memory stores ticket/thread context in local libSQL under `~/.openvisio/`, while a compact JSON ledger retains only exact replay, cancellation, and delivery keys.
 
+Backend watchers also provide four local context tools through the authenticated MCP bridge:
+
+| Tool | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `openvisio_list_my_tasks` | Read live pending assignments, including when someone says “I have a task for you.” Does not claim or start work. |
+| `openvisio_find_tools` | Search currently advertised tools by intent and return their actual input schemas, plus available skill descriptions. |
+| `openvisio_search_conversations` | Search recorded conversations by meaning and keywords, optionally narrowed to a channel or thread. |
+| `openvisio_load_skill` | Load the `openvisio-work` or `conversation-recall` skill when useful, including after compaction. |
+
+Conversation search combines Mastra's `LibSQLVector` with local BGE-small embeddings from `@mastra/fastembed` and keyword ranking. The first search downloads the model; inference then runs locally without an embedding API key. A worker handles inference independently of the agent loop. Search reports `embeddingStatus` and returns keyword results during download or failure. No conversation text is sent to an embedding provider.
+
+The corpus contains accepted messages and messages obtained through successful `list_message_thread` or `post_message` calls. It does not automatically crawl the whole organization. Results include authors, timestamps when supplied, observation times, and source IDs. Messages retain up to 24,000 characters and are stored as overlapping excerpts, with a 5,000-excerpt retention cap per backend/agent. Observed edits replace previous content; observed deletions remove it. Deleted or changed messages not yet observed can remain in local history: verify material facts against live tools. Exact graph context and current ticket checks remain separate from historical search.
+
+The integration follows Mastra's [semantic memory](https://mastra.ai/docs/memory/semantic-recall), [skills](https://mastra.ai/docs/skills), [harness](https://mastra.ai/docs/harness/overview), and [workflow](https://mastra.ai/docs/workflows/overview) documentation. The two built-in skills use `createSkill()` and are exposed to native coding runtimes through MCP. Native project skills and context compaction remain owned by the selected runtime. Workflows coordinate predictable application steps; they do not prescribe the agent's investigation or decide whether its ticket is complete.
+
 Model selections are stable. Exact IDs (including reasoning effort) are preserved. An unsuffixed ACP model may resolve once to the same model with `medium` effort; the watcher saves that exact selection. Unavailable selections produce an explicit error rather than switching generations or families. Claude versioned IDs are preserved, with automatic family fallbacks disabled. Codex uses the configured chat model for replies.
 
 Backend/BYO watchers reconcile immediately whenever the process starts or the WebSocket connects. A direct MCP session discovers and caches the backend's actual `tools/list` response, then uses available tools such as `list_agents`, `list_projects`, `list_tasks`, `list_task_types`, and `list_activity` to recover assigned tasks and recent mention activity missed while offline. Optional actions such as ticket comments are used only when advertised; their absence cannot strand a completed ticket in a retry loop. The same zero-model check runs every five minutes as a safety net; a model starts only when pending work exists.
 
 The backend MCP may be stateful or stateless. A successful initialize response without `Mcp-Session-Id` is accepted as stateless, so OpenCode agents do not stop with “MCP initialize returned no session id.” Each OpenCode lane keeps its MCP identity in a private per-agent config directory while the repository is supplied separately with `--dir`; stale workspace configuration therefore cannot swap one agent's credentials for another's. The generated remote configuration sends the agent headers directly, disables OAuth probing, and backend cycles never request relay-only inbox calls or MCP resource-discovery tools in place of team actions.
 
-Codex BYO agents follow the repository's normative runtime specification in `docs/CODEX_BYO_AGENT_SPEC.md`: one WebSocket identity, independent reply/work queues, authoritative `get_ticket` verification for assignments, silent transient activity, persistent replay suppression, and runtime evidence gates before completion. Maintainers must run `npm run certify` before publishing.
+Codex BYO agents follow the repository's normative runtime specification in `docs/CODEX_BYO_AGENT_SPEC.md`: one WebSocket identity, independent reply/work queues, authoritative `get_ticket` verification for assignments, silent transient activity, persistent replay suppression, and agent-controlled turn completion. Maintainers must run `npm run certify` before publishing.
 
 Both `agent:mention` and organization `channel:message` events pass through the same source-recipient, ownership, and deduplication checks before any model starts. The watcher subscribes only to the organization verified from its own authenticated agent profile and restores that subscription after reconnect. Self-authored source messages are ignored; embedded old agent replies cannot hide a human follow-up. An explicit tag establishes durable ownership of that thread, so later human follow-ups remain addressed to the agent without another @mention. Messages redirected to another agent and unaddressed agent chatter stay silent, while a direct stand-down cancels queued/running work and releases ownership for that thread. Concrete roots verified as belonging to someone else have a bounded one-minute cache; missing authors and failed reads remain immediately retryable. The watcher does not broadcast working, thinking, or typing presence updates. Claude and OpenCode may add one concrete progress update after work begins, but must continue and post a distinct verified result or blocker afterward; Codex keeps cancellation-safe delivery watcher-owned and renders the verified final answer once.

 `npm test` includes the executable BYO scenario catalogue. `npm run test:scenarios -- --report /tmp/byo-results.json` writes every case, result, category, and duration. Cases cover routing, runtime lifecycle, transport, memory, authorization, and complete watcher sequences against simulated service/runtime boundaries. They do not invoke paid models or mutate a live workspace.
 
+`node scripts/smoke-context-search.mjs` explicitly downloads the local embedding model and tests paraphrase retrieval against synthetic conversations. Set `OPENVISIO_SEARCH_SMOKE_DIR` to a persistent temporary directory to reuse that model download between runs. Ordinary tests use deterministic injected embeddings and require no model download.

+Dependency review (2026-09-10): `@mastra/fastembed@1.3.1` pins `onnxruntime-node@1.26.0`, whose installer depends on `adm-zip@0.5.x`. npm reports a [high-severity ZIP allocation issue](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xcpc-8h2w-3j85) and a [symlink extraction issue](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-vwc7-r8mq-g2x9), propagated to the parent dependencies. Conversation text does not enter this ZIP installer; the unresolved dependency findings still need an upstream update before claiming a clean audit.
+
 The watcher now stores pending threaded replies before posting and retries their authoritative delivery checks without rerunning the model. Distinct source message IDs remain distinct requests even when their text is identical. Stable agent IDs take precedence over display names at every assignment gate.

+## Finding work and earlier conversations
+
+You can tell your agent “I have a task for you” or ask it to check its assignments. Its local tool guide explains how to read the live board, discover available tools, and load short skills when needed. Looking up assignments does not itself claim or complete a ticket.
+
+For earlier context, ask something like “What did we decide about credential storage?” The agent can search conversations it has recorded, with channel and thread references for checking the original discussion. This includes messages it has received and threads it has fetched; it is not a search of every conversation in your organization.
+
+The first semantic search downloads a local embedding model. Keyword search remains available while it loads, and later searches run on your computer without an embedding API key. Search history survives watcher restarts. The agent still chooses which tools and skills to use, how to manage its context, and when to finish its turn.
+
 ## Before you begin
 
 You need Node.js **22.13 or newer**, access to your OpenVisio team, and a supported coding agent: Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode. Authenticate your chosen coding agent on this machine before asking it to work. Your provider’s usual usage limits and charges apply when the agent runs.
