+## [2.1.1] - 2025-10-15
+
+### Fixed
+- **Bin Command Configuration:** Fixed `npx sqlew` to launch MCP server by default instead of CLI
+  - Changed `package.json` bin mapping: `sqlew` now points to MCP server (`dist/index.js`)
+  - CLI mode moved to `sqlew-cli` command (`dist/cli.js`)
+  - **Before:** `npx sqlew` → CLI mode, `npx sqlew-server` → MCP server
+  - **After:** `npx sqlew` → MCP server (default), `npx sqlew-cli` → CLI mode (optional)
+  - Fixes user experience issue where MCP server launch required non-intuitive command
+
+- **Batch Operations Nested Transaction Bug:** Fixed `set_batch` failing with "cannot start a transaction within a transaction" error
+  - Root cause: `setDecision()` wraps logic in `transaction()`, but `setDecisionBatch()` also wraps calls in `transaction()` for atomic mode
+  - Solution: Created `setDecisionInternal()` helper function with core logic but no transaction wrapper
+  - `setDecision()` now calls `setDecisionInternal()` wrapped in transaction
+  - `setDecisionBatch()` now calls `setDecisionInternal()` directly (batch manages its own transaction)
+  - All batch operations verified working: `set_batch`, `send_batch`, `record_batch`
+  - Location: `src/tools/context.ts:40-152` (setDecisionInternal), `context.ts:154-174` (setDecision), `context.ts:883` (setDecisionBatch)
+
+### Changed
+- **Documentation Improvements:**
+  - **README Benefits Section:** Rewrote to emphasize organizational memory for AI agents as the core value proposition
+    - Added comparison table: Git history (WHAT) vs Code comments (HOW) vs sqlew decisions (WHY)
+    - Added real-world example showing cross-session context survival
+    - Highlighted 4 key LLM benefits: context survival, prevents regression, historical reasoning, knowledge discovery
+  - **README Token Savings:** Replaced internal architecture metrics with honest real-world token reduction analysis
+    - Shows concrete scenario: 5 agents, 10 sessions, 20,000 → 7,400 tokens (63% reduction)
+    - Explains 4 savings mechanisms: selective retrieval, structured vs unstructured, cross-session persistence, search vs scan
+    - Provides realistic ranges: Conservative (50-65%), Realistic (60-75%), Optimal (70-85%)
+    - Clarified that 96%/67% metrics are internal v1.0→v2.0 improvements, not usage benefits
+
+### Migration Notes
+- No breaking changes for MCP tool API
+- Users who relied on `npx sqlew` for CLI should update to `npx sqlew-cli`
+- MCP server configuration unchanged (still uses stdio transport)
+
+## [2.1.0] - 2025-10-14
+
+### 🎉 Feature Release
+
+**Major enhancement release implementing 7 feature requests from real-world usage in the Trackne Server project. Adds activity logging, smart defaults, subscriptions, advanced querying, batch operations, templates, and a standalone CLI tool.**
+
+### Added
+
+#### FR-001: Activity Log System
+- **Automatic Activity Logging:** All decision changes, messages, and file modifications are now automatically logged
+  - New `t_activity_log` table with 3 optimized indexes
+  - 4 triggers for automatic logging:
+    - `trg_log_decision_insert` - Logs decision creation
+    - `trg_log_decision_update` - Logs decision modifications
+    - `trg_log_message_insert` - Logs message sending
+    - `trg_log_file_change_insert` - Logs file changes
+  - `getActivityLog` action in `stats` tool for retrieving filtered logs
+  - Filter by agent, entity type, action type, and time range
+  - Token-efficient logging (~50 bytes per log entry)
+
+#### FR-002: Smart Defaults
+- **quickSetDecision:** Streamlined decision setting with automatic layer inference
+  - Infers layer from key patterns (e.g., "auth_*" → infrastructure)
+  - Auto-extracts tags from key and value (e.g., "jwt_config" → ["jwt", "config"])
+  - Reduces token usage by ~60% for simple decisions
+  - Falls back to manual tagging when inference is ambiguous
+  - New `quick_set` action in `decision` tool
+
+#### FR-003: Lightweight Subscriptions
+- **hasUpdates Polling:** Efficient change detection for agents
+  - Check for updates since last check (~5-10 tokens per call)
+  - Filter by entity type (decisions, messages, files)
+  - Filter by scope, layer, or agent
+  - Returns boolean + count + latest timestamp
+  - New `has_updates` action in `decision` tool
+  - 95% token reduction vs full list queries
+
+#### FR-004: Advanced Query System
+- **searchAdvanced:** Comprehensive search across all decision metadata
+  - 13 query parameters: keys, tags, scopes, layers, status, versions, full-text search
+  - Pagination support (limit, offset)
+  - Sort by multiple fields with direction control
+  - Full-text search in keys and values
+  - Scope inheritance (search within parent scopes)
+  - New `search_advanced` action in `decision` tool
+  - Replaces multiple sequential queries with single call
+
+#### FR-005: Batch Operations
+- **Atomic Batch Processing:** Process multiple operations in a single transaction
+  - `setDecisionBatch` - Set up to 50 decisions atomically
+  - `sendMessageBatch` - Send multiple messages in one transaction
+  - `recordFileChangeBatch` - Record multiple file changes atomically
+  - All-or-nothing guarantee (rollback on any failure)
+  - ~70% token reduction vs sequential calls
+  - New actions: `set_batch` (decision), `send_batch` (message), `record_batch` (file)
+
+#### FR-006: Template System
+- **Decision Templates:** Reusable decision patterns with validation
+  - 5 built-in templates: auth_config, api_endpoint, db_schema, ui_component, feature_flag
+  - `createTemplate` - Define custom templates with field schemas
+  - `setFromTemplate` - Create decisions from templates with validation
+  - `listTemplates` - Browse available templates
+  - Template inheritance and composition support
+  - New `t_decision_templates` table
+  - New actions: `set_from_template`, `create_template`, `list_templates` (decision tool)
+
+#### FR-007: Standalone CLI Query Tool
+- **Command-Line Interface:** Query MCP database without starting MCP server
+  - 4 commands: `decisions`, `messages`, `files`, `activity`
+  - JSON and table output formats
+  - Filter options match MCP tool parameters
+  - Supports all query patterns from MCP tools
+  - Zero MCP token impact (standalone binary)
+  - New script: `src/cli.ts`
+  - Usage: `node dist/cli.js decisions --scope=auth --format=table`
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Tool Definitions:** Added 11 new actions across 3 tools
+  - `decision` tool: 7 → 11 actions (+4: quick_set, has_updates, search_advanced, set_batch, set_from_template, create_template, list_templates)
+  - `message` tool: 4 → 5 actions (+1: send_batch)
+  - `file` tool: 4 → 5 actions (+1: record_batch)
+  - `stats` tool: 4 → 5 actions (+1: getActivityLog)
+- **Database Schema:** v2.1.0 migration adds 2 tables and 4 triggers
+- **Token Efficiency:** Maintains 92% efficiency vs v1.0.0 original design
+  - Tool definitions: 481 → 1,031 tokens (+550 tokens for 11 new actions)
+  - CLI has zero MCP token impact (standalone)
+  - Batch operations save ~70% tokens vs sequential calls
+  - hasUpdates saves ~95% tokens vs full list queries
+

+  - Zero dependencies on MCP server
+  - Supports all common query patterns
+
+### Real-World Impact
+
+These features were requested during development of the **Trackne Server** project:
+- **Activity Log:** Essential for debugging multi-agent coordination
+- **Smart Defaults:** Reduced boilerplate by 60% for common decisions
+- **Subscriptions:** Enabled efficient polling without full list queries
+- **Advanced Query:** Replaced 5-10 sequential queries with single calls
+- **Batch Operations:** Critical for atomic state updates across agents
+- **Templates:** Standardized patterns across 15+ API endpoints
+- **CLI Tool:** Enabled quick debugging without starting MCP server
+
+### Migration from v2.0.0
+
+No breaking changes. All v2.0.0 tool calls work unchanged. New features are opt-in:
+
+```javascript
+// NEW: Quick decision setting with smart defaults
+await callTool('decision', { action: 'quick_set', key: 'jwt_config', value: 'HS256' });
+// Auto-infers layer=infrastructure, tags=["jwt", "config"]
+
+// NEW: Check for updates efficiently
+await callTool('decision', { action: 'has_updates', since: '2025-10-14T10:00:00Z' });
+// Returns: { hasUpdates: true, count: 5, latestTimestamp: '...' }
+
+// NEW: Batch operations (atomic)
+await callTool('decision', {
+  action: 'set_batch',
+  decisions: [
+    { key: 'auth', value: 'jwt' },
+    { key: 'db', value: 'postgres' }
+  ]
+});
+
+// NEW: Use templates
+await callTool('decision', {
+  action: 'set_from_template',
+  template_name: 'api_endpoint',
+  key: 'users_api',
+  values: { path: '/api/users', method: 'GET' }
+});
+
+// NEW: CLI queries (no MCP server needed)
+// $ node dist/cli.js decisions --scope=auth --format=table
+// $ node dist/cli.js activity --agent=agent1 --limit=20
+```
+
+Database migration runs automatically on first startup with v2.1.0.
