+## [3.7.32] - 2026-02-24
+
+### Fixed
+- Sync score `-100%` display bug — `writeSyncScore` now guards against negative values when indexing is pending
+- Concurrent MCP tool call failures — pLimit(2) concurrency cap in mcpProtocolHandler, toolRegistry eviction fix, connectionPool maxConnections reduced 20→6
+- CPU spike on large codebases — fileWatcher batch debounce 500ms, stabilityThreshold 300→500ms
+- `check_sync` returning 0% — `triggerBackgroundIndexing()` now wired into deferred init, syncChecker defensive handling added
+- TUI init flow rendering issues — Blessed screen render guard, pino SonicBoom fd intercept
+
+### Added
+- Auto-resync when sync score drops below 85% — debounced (15min default, `SPECMEM_LOW_SCORE_DEBOUNCE_MS`), configurable threshold via `SPECMEM_LOW_SCORE_THRESHOLD`
+- Offline ML model pipeline — embedding (MiniLM-L6-v2 ONNX quint8) + Argos neural translation bundled via git-lfs, auto-downloaded at init
+- Bash call enforcer hook — agents must call `send_team_message`, `find_code_pointers`, or `drill_down` every 3 Bash calls
+- Compaction proxy daemon — handles session compaction in background process
+
+### Improved
+- Token compression system — improved accuracy, self-healing codebook, round-trip verified
+- Install flow — root no longer required, simplified to 3 steps: install → cd → `specmem init`
+- Reduced npm permission requirements across the board
+
