+## [3.7.36] - 2026-03-02
+
+### Security
+- **Killed runtime model downloads** — `mini-cot-service.py` had a fallback path that silently downloaded 800MB from HuggingFace if local ONNX models were missing. Now raises a hard `RuntimeError` with clear instructions to run `specmem init`. SpecMem will never phone home for model weights at runtime. Period.
+
+### Added
+- **Context Vault** — new `stash_the_goods` and `dig_in_the_vault` MCP tools. Stash large content (tool results, code dumps, research) into a chunked, BM25-indexed vault with 24h TTL. Retrieval is token-efficient — pull only the chunks you need instead of replaying entire outputs
+- **PDF text extraction** — codebase indexer now extracts and indexes text from PDF files via `pdfExtractor.js` and Python `pdf-text-extract.py` backend. PDFs in your repo are now searchable through semantic code search
+- **Token compaction README visual** — new SVG (`readme-token-compaction.svg`) showcasing the compression pipeline, placed directly under install instructions
+
+### Improved
+- **Hook system overhaul** — `agent-chooser-hook.js`, `agent-loading-hook.cjs`, `background-completion-silencer.js`, `file-claim-enforcer.cjs`, `output-cleaner.cjs`, `subagent-loading-hook.cjs`, `task-progress-hook.cjs`, `team-comms-enforcer.cjs`, and unified hook all updated for better reliability and debouncing
+- **Team member deployment** — `deployTeamMember.js` and `teamMemberDeployer.js` improved orchestration, `taskOrchestrator.js` and `taskTeamMemberLogger.js` refined for cleaner multi-agent coordination
+- **Compaction proxy daemon** — connection handling and project registry improvements in both `compactionProxy.js` and `compactionProxyDaemon.js`
+- **Startup indexing** — `startupIndexing.js` faster init path, better deferred indexing
+- **File watcher** — `changeHandler.js` and `changeQueue.js` refined batch processing, reduced unnecessary re-index triggers
+- **MCP server** — `specMemServer.js`, `toolRegistry.js`, and `mcpProtocolHandler.js` updated tool registration and response handling
+- **Database migrations** — `bigBrainMigrations.js` updated with new schema support for context vault tables
+- **Claude config injector** — `claudeConfigInjector.js` improved hook deployment and settings injection
+- **Deploy hooks script** — `deploy-hooks.cjs` and `global-postinstall.cjs` streamlined install flow
+
+### Fixed
+- **Codebase exclusions** — `exclusions.js` tightened ignore patterns to prevent indexing build artifacts and node_modules noise
+- **Session parser** — `sessionParser.js` edge case fixes for malformed session entries
+
+---
+
+## [3.7.35] - 2026-03-01
+
+### Fixed
+- **File watcher resync loop killing CPU** — when sync score sat at ~85%, the auto-resync trigger would fire repeatedly (every 15min debounce), each resync barely moving the needle, creating an infinite CPU-burning loop. Fixed threshold logic so resync only fires when score is genuinely degraded, not hovering near the threshold
