package/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -5,6 +5,57 @@ All notable changes to sqlew will be documented in this file.
 The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),

+
+## [3.6.7] - 2025-10-30
+
+### Fixed - Dependency Update
+
+**Removed deprecated dependency**
+
+#### Changes
+- Removed deprecated dependency to ensure compatibility with latest ecosystem
+- Maintenance update for long-term stability
+
+---
+
+## [3.6.6] - 2025-10-29
+
+### Added - Parameter Validation & Error Handling
+
+**Comprehensive parameter validation with helpful error messages**
+
+#### Parameter Validation
+- **Required/Optional Detection** - Clear indication of required vs optional parameters
+- **Typo Suggestions** - Levenshtein distance-based "did you mean" suggestions for mistyped parameters
+- **Structured Error Messages** - JSON format with examples showing correct usage
+- **Visual Markers** - Help responses show 🔴 REQUIRED and ⚪ OPTIONAL parameter markers
+- **Action Specs Registry** - Centralized action specification in `src/utils/action-specs.ts`
+- **Comprehensive Test Suite** - 49 validation tests across all 5 tools
+
+### Removed - Config Tool Deprecated
+
+**Config MCP tool removed in favor of file-based configuration**
+
+#### Why Removed
+- Messaging system deprecated (primary use case eliminated)
+- File-based configuration (`.sqlew/config.toml`) is clearer and more maintainable
+- Runtime updates caused configuration drift between `m_config` table and config file
+- Confusing UX (changes lost on restart unless manually synced)
+
+#### Migration Path
+- ✅ Use `.sqlew/config.toml` for all configuration (persistent, version-controlled)
+- ✅ Use CLI arguments for one-time overrides
+- ❌ Do not use `config` tool (will error)
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ 5 MCP tools (down from 6): `decision`, `task`, `file`, `constraint`, `stats`
+- ✅ Clearer configuration workflow (single source of truth)
+- ✅ Better developer experience (validation errors with examples)
+- ✅ Reduced cognitive load (no config drift issues)

+// 1. Get tool overview and available actions
+decision({ action: "help" })
