-# Changelog
-
-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/),
-and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

-
-## [5.1.0] - 2026-03-07
-
-### Changed
-
-**📁 `.sqlew.env` relocated to `~/.config/sqlew/.sqlew.env`**
-
-The cloud API key file (`~/.sqlew.env`) has been moved to `~/.config/sqlew/.sqlew.env` to align with the v5.1 unified global config path. Automatic migration copies the old file and deletes it (API key security: no stale copies). `saveCachedProjectId()` now calls `ensureGlobalConfigDir()` for directory safety.
-
-**🔒 db:export Project Scope Auto-Detection (Security)**
-
-`db:export` no longer exports all projects by default. With the global shared database (v5.1.0), the default "export everything" behavior risked leaking other projects' decision data.
-
-- **Auto-detect**: Project name resolved from `.sqlew/config.toml` `[project].name` when no `project=` option is given
-- **Explicit all**: `project=all` required to export all projects (escape hatch)
-- **Error on ambiguity**: If no project name is found (no CLI arg, no config.toml), the command exits with an actionable error message
-- **Breaking change**: Previously, omitting `project=` exported all projects silently
-
-### Resolution Priority
-
-```
-1. CLI argument: project=<name>     (highest)
-2. config.toml: [project].name
-3. Error exit                       (lowest)

-## [5.0.6] - 2026-02-14
-
-### Changed
-
-**🧹 CLAUDE.md Injection Removed — Hook-based Plan Mode Enforcement**
-
-Plan mode enforcement migrated from `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` injection (~193 lines always loaded) to `UserPromptSubmit` hook with `permission_mode` check (~5 lines, plan mode only).
-
-- New `on-prompt` CLI command: `UserPromptSubmit` hook handler that detects `permission_mode === "plan"` and injects enforcement context via plain text stdout
-- `track-plan` hook (EnterPlanMode): shares same enforcement context for agent-initiated plan mode coverage
-- Legacy `injectToGlobalClaudeMd()` replaced with `cleanupGlobalClaudeMd()` — auto-removes `<!-- sqlew:auto-injected -->` markers from `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` on MCP startup
-- Removed `assets/claude-md-snippets/` directory (`plan-mode-integration.md`, `queue-monitoring.md`)
-
-### Plugin Changes (sqlew-plugin)
-
-- Added `UserPromptSubmit` hook entry in `hooks.json` (`sqlew on-prompt`, timeout: 10s)
-- Skills descriptions strengthened to REQUIRED/MUST tone (`sqlew-decision-format`, `sqlew-plan-guidance`)
-- `sqlew-plan-guidance` expanded: suggest search steps, Related Context template, queue monitoring, failed queue resolution
-
-### Technical Notes
-
-- `UserPromptSubmit` hook requires **plain text stdout** (not JSON `additionalContext` format). This is different from `SessionStart`/`PostToolUse` hooks which use JSON format.
-- Non-plan mode: hook outputs nothing and exits 0 (transparent, no system-reminder shown)
-
----
-
-## [5.0.4] - 2026-02-04
-
-### Added
-
-**📌 Decision Context Auto-Registration from Plan Mode**
-
-- Plan-to-ADR pipeline now automatically extracts and registers decision context (rationale, alternatives, tradeoffs) from plan files
-- New `decision_context` queue item type in `.sqlew/queue/pending.json`
-- `plan-pattern-extractor.ts`: Extracts `Rationale`, `Alternatives`, `Tradeoffs` fields from `📌 Decision` blocks
-- `plan-processor.ts`: Enqueues `decision_context` items after corresponding `decision` items (ordering guaranteed)
-- `hook-queue.ts`: New `enqueueDecisionContextCreate()` with duplicate prevention
-- `queue-watcher.ts`: New `processDecisionContextItem()` converts comma-separated alternatives to JSON array, routes through ToolBackend abstraction
-
-### SaaS Compatibility
-
-- `add_decision_context` action fully supported via SaaS backend (`/api/v1/decision/add_decision_context`)
-- `suggest/by_context` for constraints: improved text matching for long constraint texts (server-side Levenshtein fix)
-
----
-
-## [5.0.3] - 2026-02-04
-
-### Fixed
-
-**🧟 Zombie Process on Parent Exit (Windows)**
-
-- MCP server processes remained alive after Claude Code exited, accumulating as zombie processes in Task Manager
-- Root cause: MCP SDK's `StdioServerTransport` only listens for stdin `data`/`error`, not `end`. When combined with chokidar's `persistent: true` file watcher (QueueWatcher), the Node.js event loop stayed alive indefinitely
-- Added `process.stdin.on('end')` handler to detect parent process exit and trigger graceful shutdown
-- Added `stopQueueWatcher()` to all shutdown handlers (`registerShutdownHandlers`, `performCleanup`) — the function existed since v4.1.0 but was never wired into the shutdown flow
-
-**🔍 Schema Version Detection for v5.0**
-
-- Fixed `[WARN] Unknown schema version detected` on every startup
-- `detectSchemaVersion()` checked for `v4_tasks` table (dropped in v5.0 migration), causing detection to always fail on v5 schema
-- Added v5 schema detection: checks `m_projects` + `t_decisions` + `t_constraints` with `v4_tasks` absence to distinguish from v4
-- Schema now correctly reports `v5.x (using m_/t_ tables)` with proper `tablePrefix='m_'` and `transactionPrefix='t_'`
-
----
-
-## [5.0.2] - 2026-02-03
-
-### Fixed
-
-**🐛 on-session-start Hook CLI Routing Bug**
-
-- Fixed `on-session-start` command being incorrectly routed to MCP server instead of CLI handler
-- The command name was being interpreted as a database path argument, causing incorrect DB connections
-- Added `on-session-start` to CLI command lists in both `index.ts` and `cli.ts`
-- Also added missing `on-enter-plan` to `index.ts` for consistency
-
-**Root Cause**: When SessionStart hook executed `sqlew on-session-start`, the command was not recognized as a CLI command and fell through to MCP server mode. The argument parser then treated `on-session-start` as a legacy positional argument for `--db-path`, resulting in a database file named `on-session-start` being created and used.
-

-
-## [5.0.1] - 2026-02-02
-
-### Changed
-
-**🔒 Security: saas-connector submodule integration (Issue #84)**
-
-- Integrated saas-connector submodule directly into `src/saas-connector/`
-- Removed `prebuild` script that triggered npm package scanner alerts
-- Converted saas-connector from CommonJS to ESM for unified tsc build
-- Eliminated separate esbuild step and `npm install` in subdirectory
-- No functional changes - same SaaS backend behavior
-
-**Rationale**: The `prebuild` script (`cd saas-connector && npm install && npm run build`) was flagged by npm security scanners as a potential risk. While the code itself was safe, the submodule architecture created unnecessary complexity and security perception issues.
-
----
-

-```
-
-### Fixed
-
-**v4_task_details JOIN Bug**

-
-## [4.0.2] - 2025-11-28
-
-### BREAKING CHANGES
-
-**SQL Dump No Longer Supports Cross-Database Format Conversion**
-
-The `db:dump` command now generates SQL for the **same database type only**. Cross-database migrations (e.g., SQLite → MySQL) must use JSON export/import instead.
-
-**Migration Required:**
-```bash
-# ❌ Old approach (no longer supported)
-npx sqlew db:dump mysql backup.sql  # Cross-DB conversion removed
-
-# ✅ New approach: Use JSON for cross-database migration
-npx sqlew db:export backup.json     # Export to JSON
-npx sqlew db:import backup.json     # Import to target database
-```
-
-**Rationale:**
-- SQL syntax differences between databases caused data corruption issues
-- Case-insensitive pattern matching failed in certain scenarios
-- JSON format is database-agnostic and handles all data types correctly
-
-**Node.js 20+ Required**
-
-Minimum Node.js version updated from 18.0.0 to 20.0.0.
-
-### Added
-
-**Unified CLI Entry Point**
-
-- `npx sqlew db:export`, `npx sqlew db:import`, `npx sqlew db:dump` now work directly
-- No `npm install` required - just use `npx sqlew <command>`
-- CLI commands and MCP server mode unified under single `sqlew` entry point
-- Removed separate `sqlew-cli` binary
-
-### Fixed
-
-**Case-Insensitive Validation for Master Records**
-
-- Added case-insensitive duplicate detection when registering new records
-- Prevents duplicate entries like "MyTag" and "mytag" from being created
-- Applies to tags, scopes, layers, and other master table entries
-- New utility: `src/utils/case-insensitive-validator.ts`
-
-**SQLite to MySQL SQL Dump Case-Sensitivity Bug**
-
-- Fixed regex pattern matching that failed with case variations
-- SQL dump now correctly handles mixed-case identifiers
-- Enhanced schema table export for better compatibility
-
-### Changed
-
-**Export Version Tracking**
-
-- Export JSON now includes proper version metadata
-- Version information helps with import compatibility checks
-- Clearer error messages when importing incompatible versions
-
-**CLI Documentation Update**
-
-- Updated `docs/cli/README.md` with JSON-first migration workflow
-- Added clear guidance on when to use `db:dump` vs `db:export`/`db:import`
-- Improved comparison table for migration scenarios
-
-### Added
-
-**Case-Insensitive Validator Utility**
-
-- New `src/utils/case-insensitive-validator.ts` for consistent validation
-- Comprehensive test suite: `src/tests/unit/utils/case-insensitive-validator.test.ts`
-- Reusable across all master table operations
-
-### Migration Notes
-
-**Backward Compatibility:**
-- Existing databases unaffected
-- JSON export/import workflows unchanged
-- SQL dumps for same-database-type operations still work
-
-**Action Required:**
-- Update any scripts that use `db:dump` for cross-database migrations
-- Switch to `db:export`/`db:import` for SQLite ↔ MySQL ↔ PostgreSQL migrations
-
----
-
-## [4.0.1] - 2025-11-28
-
-### Removed
-
-**Database Views Eliminated**
-
-- Dropped all database views (`v_tagged_constraints`, `v_recent_file_changes`, etc.)
-- Views caused migration complexity across SQLite/MySQL/PostgreSQL due to database-specific syntax
-- Migration: `20251128000000_drop_all_views.ts`
-
-### Changed
-
-**JOIN-Based Queries**
-
-- `src/tools/constraints/actions/get.ts` - Replaced `v_tagged_constraints` view with JOIN query
-- `src/tools/files/actions/get.ts` - Replaced `v_recent_file_changes` view with JOIN query
-- Uses `UniversalKnex` wrapper for cross-database compatibility (date functions, boolean values, string aggregation)
-
-**VCS Test Cleanup**
-
-- `src/tests/feature/vcs/git-aware-completion.test.ts` - Added automatic git reset after tests
-- Test commits are now automatically dropped when tests complete
-- Prevents test artifacts from polluting git history
-
-### Added
-
-**No-Views Guardrail Skill**
-
-- `.claude/skills/no-views/SKILL.md` - Documentation for view prohibition policy
-- `.claude/skills/skill-rules.json` - Added `no-views` rule (enforcement: block)
-- Blocks creation of database views, requires JOINs instead
-
-**Documentation Updates**
-
-- `CLAUDE.md` - Updated to reflect no-views policy
-- Removed Views section from database schema documentation
-- Added `no-views` to Guardrail Skills table
-
----
-
-## [4.0.0] - 2025-11-27
-
-### Changed
-
-**Concept & Positioning**
-
-- Reframed sqlew as a **shared SQL-backed context repository** and a **Decision & Constraint repository layer** for AI tools
-- Clarified that Decisions capture *why* changes were made and Constraints capture *how* code should be written
-- Updated README introduction to focus on "Never Start From Zero Context Again" and the repository-based metaphor instead of generic "memory"
-
-**Documentation & Cleanup**
-
-- Updated `README.md` to describe sqlew as a context repository rather than an abstract memory layer
-- Aligned terminology across docs around Decisions, Constraints, tasks, and the repository layer
-- Confirmed that previously removed/legacy features remain out of scope, keeping focus on decision history and constraint rules
-
-> Note: v4.0.0 is primarily a **concept and documentation alignment release**. Core Decision/Constraint features and the v3.9.x database schema remain compatible; no breaking API changes were introduced for existing integrations.
-
----
-
-## [3.9.0] - 2025-01-15
-
-### Added
-
-**🎯 Decision Intelligence System with Three-Tier Similarity Detection**
-
-**New `suggest` Tool:**
-- **by_key** - Pattern-based decision search (e.g., "api/*/latency" finds all API latency decisions)
-- **by_tags** - Tag similarity scoring for related decisions (Jaccard similarity)
-- **by_context** - Combined key + tags + layer search for best matches
-- **check_duplicate** - Duplicate decision detection with similarity scoring (0-100 points)
-
-**Three-Tier Duplicate Detection (Auto-Triggered):**
-- **Tier 1 (35-44 points):** Gentle nudge - Non-blocking warning with suggestions
-- **Tier 2 (45-59 points):** Hard block - Prevents creation, requires explicit override or update
-- **Tier 3 (60+ points):** Auto-update - Transparently updates existing decision, preserves new value
-
-**Similarity Scoring Algorithm:**
-- Tag overlap: 0-40 points (10 per matching tag, max 4)
-- Layer match: 0-25 points (same layer bonus)
-- Key similarity: 0-20 points (pattern + Levenshtein distance)
-- Recency: 0-10 points (recent updates prioritized)
-- Priority: 0-5 points (critical decisions weighted)
-
-**Policy-Based Auto-Triggering:**
-- Suggestions automatically triggered when policies have `suggest_similar=1`
-- Integrated with `decision.set` - returns suggestions in response
-- Configurable relevance threshold via `min_score` parameter (default: 30)
-- Policy validation rules support for targeted auto-triggering
-
-**Enhanced Decision Metadata:**
-- `duplicate_reason` - Similarity explanation with matched tags and layer info
-- `update_command` - Ready-to-use command for updating existing decisions
-- `version_info` - Existing decision version tracking
-- `auto_updated` flag - Indicates Tier 3 transparent updates
-
-**Supporting Features:**
-- Tag parser utility (`src/utils/tag-parser.ts`) for flexible tag handling
-- Policy validation integration (`src/utils/policy-validator.ts`)
-- Suggestion scorer (`src/utils/suggestion-scorer.ts`) with breakdown
-- Self-exclusion logic (prevents matching against own key during updates)
-
-### Fixed
-
-**PostgreSQL Cross-Database Compatibility**
-- Fixed CAST type mismatch in `v_tagged_decisions` view export
-- PostgreSQL now correctly handles `COALESCE(TEXT, NUMERIC)` with `CAST(value AS TEXT)`
-- MySQL/MariaDB use `CAST(value AS CHAR)` for compatibility
-- Migration: `20251114000000_fix_v_tagged_decisions_numeric_support.ts`
-- SQL dump export: Enhanced view conversion in `src/utils/sql-dump/schema/views.ts`
-- Result: All 20 cross-database tests passing (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL)
-
-**Test Suite Improvements**
-- Fixed FK constraint cleanup order in `decision-intelligence-e2e.test.ts`
-- Child records now deleted before parent records (tags → scopes → context → decisions)
-- Result: 3/3 e2e workflow tests passing, no cleanup errors
-
-**Schema Fixes**
-- Migration `20251112000001_fix_task_file_links_schema_v3_9_0.ts` - Fixed UNIQUE constraint
-- Migration `20251112000002_fix_task_pruned_files_schema_v3_9_0.ts` - Enhanced task file tracking
-- All migrations idempotent with existence checks
-
-### Changed
-
-**Test Organization (Docker Dependency Separation)**
-- Moved 7 Docker-dependent tests to `src/tests/docker/` directory
-- `npm test` now runs 481 unit tests without Docker (0 failures)
-- `npm run test:docker` runs cross-database tests (requires Docker containers)
-- Removed `test:all` script (caused database conflicts)
-- Updated `.husky/pre-commit` to reflect test separation
-- Decision documented in SQLew: `test-organization-docker-separation`
-
-**Git Hook Enhancement**
-- Pre-commit hook now checks for **PUSHED** migration files instead of just committed
-- Auto-detects remote branch (origin/main, origin/master, origin/dev)
-- Allows editing locally committed migrations (not yet pushed)
-- Prevents editing migrations that exist in remote
-- Graceful fallback for local-only repositories
-
-**Debug Output Cleanup**
-- Commented out scope validation warnings in test output
-- Removed DEBUG/DIAGNOSTIC console.log statements
-- Cleaner test output focusing on actual results
-- 75% reduction in test output verbosity
-
-### Removed

-  - `src/utils/sql-dump/schema/views.ts`
-  - `src/utils/sql-dump/schema/primary-keys.ts`
-  - `src/utils/sql-dump/schema/indexes.ts`
-- Deleted test tracking files (`test-tracking/file1.ts`, etc.)

-## [3.8.1] - 2025-11-11
-
-### Fixed
-
-**Critical Installation Bug**
-
-- Fixed `npm error Invalid Version:` error when installing sqlew@3.8.0
-- Changed `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` dependency from `"latest"` to `"^1.21.1"` in package.json
-- The `"latest"` tag is not a valid semver version for published packages and caused npm dependency resolution to fail
-- This is a **hotfix release** that resolves installation issues preventing users from using v3.8.0
-
-**Impact:**
-- All users experiencing `Invalid Version:` errors when running `npx sqlew` can now install successfully
-- No functional changes from v3.8.0 - only dependency version fix
-
----
-
-## [3.8.0] - 2025-11-09
-
-### BREAKING CHANGES
-
-**Batch Action Naming Standardization**
-
-`task.batch_create` has been renamed to `task.create_batch` to follow the `<verb>_batch` naming pattern used by other batch actions (`set_batch`, `record_batch`).
-
-**Migration Required:**
-```typescript
-// ❌ Old (v3.7.x and earlier)
-task({ action: "batch_create", tasks: [...] })
-
-// ✅ New (v3.8.0+)
-task({ action: "create_batch", tasks: [...] })
-```
-
-**Rationale:**
-- Achieves 100% consistency across all batch actions
-- Improves alphabetical sorting in IDE auto-completion (create → create_batch)
-- Aligns with industry standard (REST APIs, GraphQL, ORMs use suffix pattern)
-- See docs/ADR-batch-naming-standard.md for full justification
-
-**Impact:**
-- All code using `task.batch_create` must update to `task.create_batch`
-- Simple find-replace migration (estimated 2-5 minutes per integration)
-- No database schema changes required
-
-### Removed
-
-**Config Tool Removed (Phase 6)**
-
-The orphaned config tool has been removed in favor of CLI-only configuration:
-
-- **Deleted**: `src/tools/config.ts` (307 lines)
-- **Removed**: `ConfigAction` type from `src/types.ts` and `src/types/actions.ts`
-- **Removed**: ConfigAction import from `src/utils/parameter-validator.ts`
-- **Updated**: README.md with CLI-only config approach documentation
-- **Updated**: docs/CONFIGURATION.md already documented config tool removal
-
-**Why removed:**
-- Config tool was never registered in `tool-registry.ts` (orphaned code)
-- Messaging system deprecated (primary use case eliminated)
-- File-based configuration (`.sqlew/config.toml`) is clearer and more maintainable
-- Runtime updates were confusing (changes lost on restart unless manually synced to file)
-- Configuration drift between `m_config` table and config file
-
-**Migration Path:**
-- ✅ **Use `.sqlew/config.toml`** for all configuration (persistent, version-controlled)
-- ✅ **Use CLI arguments** for one-time overrides (`--autodelete-message-hours=48`)
-- ✅ **Internal config operations** preserved (`src/database/config/config-ops.ts`)
-- ✅ **m_config table** preserved (used internally by retention logic)
-
-**Impact:**
-- Cleaner codebase with ~300 lines removed
-- No functional impact - tool was never registered
-- Configuration via file and CLI arguments only
-
-**Message Tool Completely Removed**
-
-The deprecated message tool has been completely removed from the codebase:
-
-- **Deleted**: `src/tools/messaging.ts` (599 lines)
-- **Removed**: Message tool entry from `tool-registry.ts`
-- **Removed**: Message tool handler from `tool-handlers.ts`
-- **Removed**: Message imports from `cli.ts`
-- **Updated**: `MessageAction` type changed to `never` (backward compatibility stub)
-- **CLI**: `sqlew query messages` now returns error message
-
-**Migration Path**:
-- No action required - messaging system was already marked deprecated in v3.6.6
-- The `t_agent_messages` table was dropped in v3.6.6
-- All message tool actions returned deprecation warnings since v3.6.6
-
-**Impact**:
-- Cleaner codebase with ~700 lines removed
-- No functional impact - messaging system was unused
-- MessageAction type remains as deprecated stub for backward compatibility
-
-### Added
-
-**Layer Expansion (5→9 layers)**
-
-Added 4 new layers to enable better task classification and semantic validation:
-
-**New FILE_REQUIRED layers:**
-- `documentation` - README, CHANGELOG, API docs, architecture docs (file_actions required)
-
-**New FILE_OPTIONAL layers:**
-- `planning` - Research, spike tasks, investigation (file_actions optional)
-- `coordination` - Multi-agent orchestration, task delegation (file_actions optional)
-- `review` - Code review, design review, verification (file_actions optional)
-
-**Existing layers** (5→6 FILE_REQUIRED):
-- presentation, business, data, infrastructure, cross-cutting (file_actions required or empty array)
-
-**Benefits:**
-- Documentation layer enforces file operations for docs work
-- Planning layers allow pure research tasks without file boilerplate
-- Better semantic task classification across the development lifecycle
-
-**file_actions Parameter for Tasks**
-
-Introduced semantic `file_actions` parameter to replace generic `watch_files`:
-
-```typescript
-// New file_actions parameter
-task.create({
-  title: "Implement OAuth",
-  layer: "business",
-  file_actions: [
-    { action: "create", path: "src/auth/oauth.ts" },
-    { action: "edit", path: "src/api/router.ts" },
-    { action: "delete", path: "src/auth/legacy.ts" }
-  ]
-});
-
-// Backward compatible - watch_files still works
-task.create({
-  title: "Update config",
-  layer: "infrastructure",
-  watch_files: ["config.toml"]  // Auto-converts to file_actions
-});
-```
-
-**Layer-Based Validation:**
-- FILE_REQUIRED layers (6) → Must provide `file_actions` or `[]`
-- FILE_OPTIONAL layers (3) → Can omit `file_actions` entirely
-- Clear error messages with layer-specific guidance
-
-**Benefits:**
-- Self-documenting: `action: 'create'` vs `action: 'edit'` shows intent
-- Prevents forgotten file watchers (validation enforced)
-- No boilerplate for planning tasks (can omit parameter)
-- Better token efficiency with automatic file watching
-
-**PostgreSQL Adapter Implementation**
-
-Full PostgreSQL 12+ support with complete adapter implementation:
-
-**Adapter Features:**
-- All 15 abstract methods implemented (`insertReturning`, `upsert`, `jsonExtract`, etc.)
-- PostgreSQL-specific SQL syntax (RETURNING, ON CONFLICT, string_agg)
-- Strict type handling (TRUE/FALSE for booleans, not 1/0)
-- Timezone-aware timestamp functions
-- Transaction support with savepoints
-
-**Migration Compatibility:**
-- All 22 migrations tested and verified on PostgreSQL 16.10
-- Cross-database helper functions for view creation
-- Proper CASCADE handling for foreign key dependencies
-- Sequence management after explicit ID inserts
-- GROUP BY strictness compliance
-
-**Supported Databases:**
-- SQLite 3.x (default, development)
-- MySQL 8.0 / MariaDB 10+ (production)
-- PostgreSQL 12+ (production) ✨ NEW
-
-**Configuration:**
-```toml
-[database]
-type = "postgres"
-
-[database.connection]
-host = "localhost"
-port = 5432
-database = "sqlew_db"
-
-[database.auth]
-type = "direct"
-user = "sqlew_user"
-password = "secret"
-```
-
-### Fixed
-
-**Batch Action Parameter Parsing**
-
-Fixed MCP client array serialization issue affecting all batch actions:
-
-**Problem:** MCP client serializes array parameters as JSON strings:
-```typescript
-// MCP sends:
-decisions: "[{\"key\": \"test\", \"value\": \"val\"}]"  // String!
-
-// Expected:
-decisions: [{key: "test", value: "val"}]  // Array
-```
-
-**Solution:** Added JSON parsing in `tool-handlers.ts` for all batch actions:
-- `decision.set_batch` - parse `decisions` parameter
-- `file.record_batch` - parse `file_changes` parameter
-- `task.create_batch` - parse `tasks` parameter
-
-**Impact:** All batch actions now work correctly with array parameters from MCP client.
-
-**Help System Synchronization**
-
-Fixed critical bug where help database was severely out of sync with code:
-
-**Problem:** 25 actions missing from `m_help_actions` table, causing help system to lie about available actions.
-
-**Missing Actions:**
-- decision: 9 actions (quick_set, search_advanced, set_batch, has_updates, etc.)
-- task: 14 actions (update, get, list, move, link, archive, create_batch, etc.)
-- constraint: 1 action (use_case)
-
-**Solution:** Created migration `20251109020000_fix_missing_help_actions_v3_8_0.ts` to:
-- Add all 25 missing actions with correct descriptions
-- Idempotent checks to prevent duplicates
-- Full synchronization between code and database
-
-**Impact:** Help system now accurately reports all available actions.
-
-### Changed
-
-**Tool Registry Schema Fix**
-
-Added `additionalProperties: true` to all tool schemas in `tool-registry.ts`:
-
-**Problem:** MCP couldn't pass action-specific parameters (key, value, tags, etc.) because schemas only defined `action` property.
-
-**Solution:**
-```typescript
-{
-  name: 'decision',
-  inputSchema: {
-    type: 'object',
-    properties: {
-      action: { ... }
-    },
-    required: ['action'],
-    additionalProperties: true,  // ← CRITICAL FIX
-  },
-}
-```
-
-**Impact:** All MCP tools now accept action-specific parameters correctly.

-## [3.7.4] - 2025-11-08
-
-### Added - Complete JSON Import/Export System
-
-**Full-featured data migration system with smart ID remapping and dependency resolution**
-
-#### New Features
-
-- **db:import CLI Command** - Import project data from JSON exports with automatic ID remapping
-  - Smart conflict detection (skip-if-exists, project-name override)
-  - Dry-run mode for validation before import
-  - Comprehensive error messages with validation details
-- **Topological Sort Algorithm** - Resolves task dependencies during import
-  - Circular dependency detection prevents import of invalid dependency graphs
-  - BFS-based topological sorting ensures dependencies imported before dependents
-  - Preserves all task relationships and blocking constraints
-- **Smart ID Remapping** - Handles complex foreign key relationships
-  - Master table merge logic (reuse existing entries by name/path)
-  - Transaction table ID translation with bidirectional mapping
-  - Junction table relationship preservation
-  - Automatic orphan cleanup for invalid references
-
-#### Import System Architecture
-
-- **4 Core Modules**:
-  1. `import.ts` - Main orchestrator with transaction management
-  2. `master-tables.ts` - Master table merge logic (m_files, m_tags, m_scopes, etc.)
-  3. `topological-sort.ts` - Dependency graph analysis and sorting
-  4. `db-import.ts` - CLI command with argument parsing and validation
-
-#### Data Migration Strategy
-
-- **ID Remapping**: All imported data gets fresh auto-incremented IDs (no ID preservation)
-- **Master Table Deduplication**: Reuse existing entries for agents, tags, scopes, files by name/path
-- **Transaction Atomicity**: All-or-nothing semantics (full rollback on any error)
-- **Project Isolation**: Each import creates independent project with no cross-contamination
-
-#### CLI Examples
-
-```bash
-# Import project from JSON export
-npx sqlew db:import --source=project-backup.json
-
-# Import with custom project name
-npx sqlew db:import --source=data.json --project-name=my-project
-
-# Dry-run validation (no actual import)
-npx sqlew db:import --source=data.json --dry-run
-
-# Export project for migration
-npx sqlew db:export --project=visualizer --output=visualizer-data.json
-```
-
-#### Technical Details
-
-- **Batch Inserts** - 10-row batches to avoid SQLite UNION ALL limits
-- **Foreign Key Validation** - Validates all foreign key references before insertion
-- **View Handling** - Temporarily drops/restores views during schema changes
-- **Idempotent Operations** - Safe to retry on failure
-- **Error Recovery** - Detailed error messages with validation guidance
-
-#### Use Cases
-
-- **Multi-Project Single Database** - Consolidate multiple projects when database creation permissions are limited
-- **Project Sharing** - Share context with team members or between machines
-- **Cross-Database Migration** - Move projects between different databases (different machine, SQLite → MySQL, etc.)
-
-**Note**: Import uses `--skip-if-exists=true` by default. This is NOT a backup/restore solution for the same database.
-Use database-level backups (SQLite file copy, MySQL dump) for backup/restore scenarios.
-
-#### Impact
-
-- ✅ **Complete migration solution** - Export from one database, import to another
-- ✅ **Multi-project support** - Merge multiple project exports into single database
-- ✅ **Permission-friendly** - Works for users who can't create multiple databases
-- ✅ **Data integrity** - Zero data loss, all relationships preserved
-- ✅ **Production ready** - Comprehensive error handling and validation
-- ✅ **Cross-database compatible** - JSON format works across SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL
-

-
-### Fixed - Multi-Project Migration (HOTFIX)
-
-**Critical fix for v3.7.0-v3.7.2 migration in multi-project scenarios**
-
-#### Problem
-
-- Users upgrading from v3.6.10 to v3.7.0+ could end up with duplicate projects
-- Migration 20251104000000 created project #1 with fake name "default-project"
-- Users creating second project manually resulted in namespace conflicts
-
-#### Solution
-
-- Enhanced migration idempotency checks
-- Improved project consolidation logic
-- Better handling of existing project scenarios
-
-#### Impact
-
-- ✅ **Safe multi-project migration** - No duplicate projects created
-- ✅ **Backward compatible** - Works for both fresh installs and upgrades
-- ✅ **Data preservation** - All existing data maintained correctly
-
----
-
-## [3.7.3] - 2025-11-06
-
-### Fixed - Master Tables Namespace Collision Bug
-
-**Critical bug fix for incomplete multi-project support in v3.7.0-v3.7.2**
-
-#### Problem
-- Master tables (m_files, m_tags, m_scopes) lacked `project_id` columns in v3.7.0-v3.7.2
-- This caused **namespace collisions** where identical file paths/tag names/scope names from different projects would conflict
-- Example: "src/index.ts" from ProjectA would collide with ProjectB's "src/index.ts"
-- Users upgrading from v3.6.x would have fake project name "default-project" instead of detected real name
-
-#### Solution
-- **20251106000000_fix_master_tables_project_id_v3_7_3.ts** - Comprehensive migration that:
-  1. **Data Consolidation** - Detects v3.7.0-v3.7.2 upgrade scenario and consolidates project #2 data into project #1
-  2. **Project Rename** - Renames fake "default-project" to real detected name (from config.toml/git remote/directory)
-  3. **Schema Fix** - Adds `project_id` column to m_files, m_tags, m_scopes with composite UNIQUE constraints
-  4. **Data Migration** - Maps all existing master table data to default project (ID 1)
-  5. **Orphan Cleanup** - Filters out 95 orphaned foreign key references (deleted tasks/tags)
-  6. **View Restoration** - Temporarily drops and restores 4 views during migration
-  7. **Table Restoration** - Backs up and restores 6 referencing tables with updated foreign keys
-
-#### Migration Details
-- **Idempotent** - Can run multiple times safely (checks for existing columns)
-- **Version-Aware** - Only consolidates data for v3.7.0-v3.7.2 databases (detects fake project names)
-- **Batch Inserts** - Uses 10-row batches to avoid SQLite UNION ALL limits
-- **FK Filtering** - Validates foreign key references before restoration to prevent constraint errors
-- **SQLite-Optimized** - Handles better-sqlite3 FK constraint behavior during table drops
-
-#### Technical Changes
-- **m_files**: Added `project_id` column, changed UNIQUE constraint from `(path)` to `(project_id, path)`
-- **m_tags**: Added `project_id` column, changed UNIQUE constraint from `(name)` to `(project_id, name)`
-- **m_scopes**: Added `project_id` column, changed UNIQUE constraint from `(name)` to `(project_id, name)`
-- **Referencing Tables**: Updated t_file_changes, t_task_file_links, t_decision_tags, t_task_tags, t_constraint_tags, t_decision_scopes
-- **Views**: Restored v_layer_summary, v_task_board, v_tagged_decisions, v_tagged_constraints
-
-#### Impact
-- ✅ **Fixed namespace collisions** - Files/tags/scopes from different projects can now have identical names
-- ✅ **Data integrity** - All existing data preserved and mapped correctly
-- ✅ **Project consolidation** - v3.7.0-v3.7.2 users get clean migration path
-- ✅ **Real project names** - No more fake "default-project" names
-- ✅ **Orphan cleanup** - Removed invalid foreign key references automatically
-- ✅ **Full idempotency** - Migration can be safely re-run if interrupted
-
-#### Testing
-- ✅ Tested on actual v3.7.2 production database (mcp-sqlew project)
-- ✅ Successfully consolidated 77 decisions, 191 tasks, 61 file changes
-- ✅ Filtered 95 orphaned task-tag references
-- ✅ All views and referencing tables restored correctly
-- ✅ Final database state validated with composite UNIQUE constraints working

-
-### Fixed - Git LFS PNG Display Issue
-
-**Removed Git LFS tracking for PNG files to fix GitHub display**
-
-#### Problem
-- PNG files were tracked with Git LFS, causing display issues on GitHub
-- Users without Git LFS saw ASCII pointers instead of images
-- README images were not rendering properly
-
-#### Solution
-- Removed `*.png filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text` from .gitattributes
-- Restored actual PNG binary files from pre-LFS commits
-- All PNG images now display correctly on GitHub without requiring Git LFS
-
-#### Impact
-- ✅ **Better agent templates** - More efficient sqlew usage patterns
-- ✅ **Comprehensive documentation** - Clear installation and usage guides
-- ✅ **Improved type handling** - Better SQL dump type conversion
-- ✅ **Fixed GitHub display** - PNG images now render properly without Git LFS

-
----
-
-## [3.7.1] - 2025-11-05
-
-### Fixed - Error Message Visibility
-
-**Fixed validation error messages being hidden by error wrapper**
-
-#### Problem
-- Validation errors (JSON-structured responses) were being wrapped with stack traces
-- Wrong-usage messages were hidden from MCP clients
-- Users received generic error messages instead of helpful validation details
-
-#### Solution
-- **Error Handler Enhancement** - Detect and unwrap JSON validation errors
-  - Validation errors now returned directly to MCP client without wrapping
-  - Stack traces written to logs only (not returned to client)
-  - Token-efficient responses without exposing internal stack details
-- **Parameter Validator Enhancement** - Detect unexpected/invalid parameters
-  - Added validation for parameters that don't match valid list and have no typo suggestion
-  - Improved error messages: "Unexpected params: X. Valid params: Y, Z"
-
-#### Impact
-- ✅ **Better UX** - Validation errors are now visible and actionable
-- ✅ **Token efficiency** - No stack traces in MCP responses
-- ✅ **Clearer feedback** - Users see helpful error messages immediately
-- ✅ **Security** - Internal stack details not exposed to clients

-- **SQLite**: "database is locked", "unable to open database"
-- **MySQL/MariaDB**: "server has gone away", "lost connection to mysql server"
-- **PostgreSQL**: "connection to server was lost", "could not connect to server"
-- **Knex-specific**: "timeout acquiring a connection", "pool is destroyed"
-
-#### Test Coverage
-- **41 tests passing** (22 unit + 19 integration)
-- Retry behavior verification
-- Production scenario simulation (server restart, network failures)
-- Tool integration testing
-
-#### Impact
-- ✅ **Resilient operations** - Automatic recovery from transient connection failures
-- ✅ **Production ready** - Handles server restarts, network issues
-- ✅ **Zero regressions** - All existing tests pass

----
-
-### Changed - Validation Error Messages
-
-**70-85% token reduction in error message size**
-
-#### Token Efficiency
-- **Before**: ~1000+ characters (~300+ tokens) with full examples embedded
-- **After**: ~200 characters (~50 tokens) with reference IDs
-- **Reduction**: 70-85% token savings
-
-#### New Error Format
-```json
-{
-  "error": "Missing: key, value",
-  "action": "set",
-  "reference": "decision.set",
-  "missing": ["key", "value"],
-  "hint": "Use 'quick_set' for simpler usage..."
-}
-```
-
-#### Features
-- **Reference IDs** - Compact `{tool}.{action}` format (e.g., "decision.set")
-- **Concise Messages** - Essential information only
-- **Conditional Fields** - Only include fields when present
-- **Self-Documenting** - AI can query `action: "help"` for full docs if needed
-
-#### Error Types
-- Missing params: `"Missing: key, value"`
-- Typos: `"Invalid params: val → value"`
-- Unknown action: `"Unknown action 'sett'. Did you mean: set?"`
-
-#### Impact
-- ✅ **Token efficiency** - 70-85% reduction in error size
-- ✅ **Cost reduction** - Lower API costs for AI agents
-- ✅ **Better UX** - Quick, scannable errors
-- ✅ **Backward compatible** - Error structure unchanged
-
----
-
-### Changed - Debug Log Format
-
-**Single-line log entries for easier parsing**
-
-#### Problem
-Multi-line log messages broke standard text processing tools (grep, awk, log rotation).
-
-#### Solution
-- **Sanitization Function** - Replaces newlines with spaces, collapses whitespace
-- **Applied To**: All log messages, data values, JSON output
-- **Result**: Every log entry is exactly one line
-
-#### Benefits
-- ✅ **Easier parsing** - Line-based tools work correctly
-- ✅ **Better grep** - Search across entire messages
-- ✅ **Simpler analysis** - Standard text processing
-- ✅ **Cleaner output** - No unexpected line breaks
-
-#### Example
-**Before:**
-```
-[2025-11-05T02:00:00.000Z] [ERROR] Error details:
-Stack trace line 1
-Stack trace line 2
-```
-
-**After:**
-```
-[2025-11-05T02:00:00.000Z] [ERROR] Error details: Stack trace line 1 Stack trace line 2
-```
-
----
-
-### Changed - Specialized Agent Templates (Error Prevention)
-
-**Restructured agent templates to reduce tool call errors from 60% to <10%**
-
-#### Problem
-- 60% of agent errors: missing `action` parameter in tool calls
-- Templates embedded outdated action samples that became obsolete
-- Agents guessed syntax instead of using discovery workflow
-
-#### Solution
-All three agent templates restructured with error-prevention focus:
-- **sqlew-architect.md** - Decision documentation specialist
-- **sqlew-researcher.md** - Context analysis specialist
-- **sqlew-scrum-master.md** - Sprint coordination specialist
-
-#### Key Improvements
-- ⚠️ **Prominent Error-Prevention Section** - "CRITICAL: Error-Free sqlew Tool Usage" at top
-- 📚 **Discovery-First Workflow** - Guides agents: `action: "help"` → `action: "example"` → copy/modify
-- ❌✅ **Zero-Error Pattern** - Clear WRONG/CORRECT examples for every common mistake:
-  - Missing `action` parameter
-  - Wrong data types (priority: string vs number)
-  - Wrong parameter names (old v2.x API)
-- 🔍 **Pre-Execution Checklist** - Verify `action` parameter before every tool call
-- 🗑️ **No Embedded Samples** - Removed action lists to prevent outdated syntax
-- 🛠️ **Common Data Type Errors** - Shows tag arrays, boolean atomics, integer priorities
-
-#### Upgrade Path
-**Note**: Existing `.claude/agents/` files NOT auto-upgraded (preserves customizations)
-
-**Manual upgrade required**:
-```bash
-# Remove old templates
-rm .claude/agents/sqlew-{architect,researcher,scrum-master}.md
-
-# Restart MCP server (auto-copies new templates from assets/sample-agents/)
-```
-
-
-#### Impact
-- ✅ **Target: 60% → <10% error rate** for agent tool calls
-- ✅ **Better UX** - Clear guidance prevents common mistakes
-- ✅ **Self-Correcting** - Agents learn correct patterns from errors
-- ✅ **Future-Proof** - Discovery workflow adapts to API changes

-### Fixed - Multi-Project Migration (Critical)
-
-**Fixed migration for ALL users upgrading from v3.6.10 to v3.7.0**
-
-#### Problem
-- SQLite's `ALTER TABLE` silently failed for 4 tables with complex foreign keys
-- Migration reported success but columns weren't added
-- Task creation would fail: `"table t_task_details has no column named project_id"`
-
-#### Root Cause
-SQLite cannot modify tables with `ON DELETE CASCADE` constraints using ALTER TABLE.
-
-#### Solution
-- **Table Recreation Strategy** - Backup → Drop → Recreate → Restore
-- **4 Tables Fixed**:
-  - `t_task_details` (STEP 4.7)
-  - `t_task_file_links` (STEP 4.8)
-  - `t_task_decision_links` (STEP 4.9)
-  - `t_task_tags` (composite PRIMARY KEY)
-
-#### Idempotency
-All recreation steps check if `project_id` exists before executing:
-```typescript
-const hasProjectId = await knex.schema.hasColumn('table_name', 'project_id');
-if (!hasProjectId) {
-  // Recreation logic
-}
-```
-
-#### Data Preservation Verified
-- ✅ 223 task detail rows preserved
-- ✅ 632 task tag rows preserved
-- ✅ All task links preserved
-- ✅ 100% data integrity maintained
-
-#### Testing
-- ✅ Fresh installation works
-- ✅ v3.6.10 → v3.7.0 upgrade works
-- ✅ Migration can be re-run safely (idempotent)
-- ✅ TypeScript compiles without errors
-
-#### Impact
-- ✅ **Production ready** - Safe for all v3.6.10 users to upgrade
-- ✅ **No data loss** - All existing data preserved
-- ✅ **Idempotent** - Can re-run without errors

-## [3.6.10] - 2025-10-30
-
-### Added - Environment Variable Support for Project Root
-
-**New `SQLEW_PROJECT_ROOT` environment variable for project-relative databases**
-
-#### Problem
-- Junie AI and other MCP clients require absolute paths in configuration
-- Users had to hardcode project-specific paths in MCP server config
-- No easy way to use project-relative database paths
-
-#### Solution
-- Added `SQLEW_PROJECT_ROOT` environment variable support (inspired by serena-mcp pattern)
-- MCP clients can now pass project directory via environment variable
-- Database automatically created at `$SQLEW_PROJECT_ROOT/.sqlew/sqlew.db`
-
-#### Priority Order
-1. `SQLEW_PROJECT_ROOT` environment variable (NEW - highest priority)
-2. `--db-path` CLI argument (absolute path)
-3. `--config-path` CLI argument (absolute path)
-4. `database.path` in config file (absolute path)
-5. `process.cwd()` fallback
-
-#### Junie AI Configuration Example
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "sqlew": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["sqlew"],
-      "env": {
-        "SQLEW_PROJECT_ROOT": "{projectDir}"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Note:** Junie AI uses `{projectDir}` variable which expands to the current project's absolute path. This ensures each project gets its own isolated database without hardcoded paths. Other MCP clients may use different variable names like `${workspaceFolder}` (VS Code/Cline) - check your client's documentation.
-
-#### Impact
-- ✅ **Project-relative databases** without hardcoded absolute paths
-- ✅ **Cleaner MCP configuration** (no per-project path updates needed)
-- ✅ **Compatible with Junie AI, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients**
-- ✅ **No breaking changes** (environment variable is optional)

-### Fixed - MCP Protocol Compliance (EPIPE Fix)
-
-**Eliminated console output for strict JSON-RPC protocol compliance**
-
-#### Problem
-- EPIPE (broken pipe) errors when running with Junie AI on Windows
-- Console output to stdout/stderr violated MCP JSON-RPC protocol requirements
-- Strict MCP clients (like Junie AI) expect pure JSON-RPC on stdio streams
-
-#### Changes
-- **Redirected all diagnostic output to debug log file** - stdout/stderr reserved exclusively for JSON-RPC
-- Modified `safeConsoleError()` to write to debug log instead of stderr
-- Replaced 50+ console.log/console.error calls across codebase:
-  - `src/database.ts` - Database initialization messages
-  - `src/watcher/file-watcher.ts` - File watcher status and events
-  - `src/watcher/gitignore-parser.ts` - .gitignore loading warnings
-  - `src/tools/tasks.ts` - Task file registration warnings
-  - `src/config/example-generator.ts` - First launch messages
-
-#### Technical Details
-- **MCP Protocol Requirement**: stdin/stdout/stderr must carry only JSON-RPC messages
-- **Debug Logging**: All diagnostic messages now use `debugLog()` with appropriate levels (INFO, WARN, ERROR)
-- **Zero stdout pollution**: Server starts silently, waits for JSON-RPC requests
-- **Tested with Junie AI**: Confirmed no EPIPE errors on Windows
-
-#### Impact
-- ✅ **Works with strict MCP clients** (Junie AI, etc.)
-- ✅ **Maintains full diagnostics** via debug log file
-- ✅ **Pure JSON-RPC protocol** compliance
-- ✅ **No breaking changes** to MCP tool functionality

-### Fixed - Windows Absolute Path Handling
-
-**Fixed path normalization for Windows environments**
-
-#### Changes
-- Fixed absolute path to relative path conversion in `gitignore-parser.ts`
-- Prevented `uname` Unix command calls on Windows
-- Resolved "path should be a `path.relative()`d string" error on Windows
-- Improved cross-platform path handling in file watcher
-
-#### Technical Details
-- Enhanced path normalization logic to handle Windows drive letters (`C:/`)
-- Added proper Windows-specific path handling checks
-- Fixed compatibility with `ignore` library path requirements
-
----
-
-## [3.6.8] - 2025-10-30
-
-### Fixed - Windows Environment Compatibility
-
-**Updated better-sqlite3 for Windows support**
-
-#### Changes
-- Updated `better-sqlite3` from `^11.0.0` to `^12.4.1`
-- Fixes Windows environment compatibility issues
-- Improves cross-platform stability
-
----
-
-## [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)
-
----
-
-## [3.6.5] - 2025-10-28
-
-### Changed - Agent System Simplification & CI/CD Fix
-
-**Removed messaging system and eliminated agent pooling complexity**
-
-#### Agent System Cleanup
-- **Removed messaging system** - `t_agent_messages` table dropped, `message` MCP tool deprecated
-  - Messaging system was unused and added unnecessary complexity
-  - Simplified agent architecture to single-purpose registry
-- **Eliminated agent pooling** - Code no longer uses `in_use` and `is_reusable` columns
-  - Removed race conditions and UNIQUE constraint errors
-  - Each agent name creates one permanent record (no reuse/pooling)
-  - Generic agents (`generic-N`) auto-allocated for empty names
-- **6 MCP Tools** - Down from 7 (messaging removed)
-  - `decision`, `file`, `constraint`, `stats`, `config`, `task`
-
-#### Infrastructure
-- **CI/CD Workflow** - Removed npm publish step from GitHub Actions
-  - npm publish requires 2FA authentication
-  - Publishing must be done manually to prevent workflow failures
-
-#### Impact
-- ✅ Simplified agent management (no pooling overhead)
-- ✅ Reduced complexity (messaging system removed)
-- ✅ CI/CD workflow no longer fails on npm publish
-

-
-## [3.6.4] - 2025-10-28
-
-### Fixed - WSL Git Add Detection
-
-**WSL-specific polling workaround for chokidar file watcher**
-
-#### Changes
-- **1-second polling for WSL** - Added platform-specific chokidar configuration
-  - WSL filesystem events are unreliable with native watching
-  - Polling ensures git add operations are detected consistently
-- **Platform detection** - Automatic WSL detection via `/proc/version`
-- **Backward compatible** - Non-WSL platforms use native file watching (no polling)
-
-#### Impact
-- ✅ Git add detection now works reliably on WSL
-- ✅ VCS-aware auto-complete functional across all platforms
-
----
-
-## [3.6.3] - 2025-10-27
-
-### Fixed - Critical Bug Fixes & Git Add Detection
-
-**Transaction pool exhaustion and VCS-aware auto-complete implementation**
-
-#### Bug Fixes
-- **Task Move Transaction Bug** - Fixed `moveTask` using base `knex` instead of transaction `trx` (line 880)
-  - Caused "Knex: Timeout acquiring a connection" errors
-  - Now properly uses transaction object for `logTaskStatusChange`
-- **Task Link Transaction Bug** - Fixed `linkTask` using base `knex` instead of transaction `trx` (line 948)
-  - Same connection pool exhaustion issue
-  - Now properly uses transaction object for decision link insertion
-
-#### Features
-- **Git Add Detection** - Implemented `detectAndCompleteOnStaging()` for VCS-aware workflow
-  - Detects `git add` operations and auto-completes tasks (`waiting_review` → `done`)
-  - Supports Git, Mercurial, and SVN
-  - Configurable via `git_auto_complete_on_stage` and `require_all_files_staged`
-- **VCS Configuration** - Added comprehensive settings documentation to `config.example.toml`
-  - `git_auto_complete_on_stage` (default: true)
-  - `git_auto_archive_on_commit` (default: true)
-  - `require_all_files_staged` (default: true)
-  - `require_all_files_committed_for_archive` (default: true)
-
-#### Infrastructure
-- **Line Ending Fix** - Added `.gitattributes` to enforce LF endings for shell scripts
-  - Prevents CRLF issues in Husky hooks on Windows/WSL
-  - Applies to `*.sh` and `.husky/*` files
-- **Husky Hooks** - Fixed pre-commit/pre-push hooks (added shebang, normalized line endings)
-
-#### Impact
-- ✅ Task operations no longer fail with connection pool timeouts
-- ✅ Git add detection now functional (was stubbed in v3.5.2)
-- ✅ Cross-platform compatibility for git hooks (Windows/WSL/Linux/macOS)
-
----
-
-## [3.6.2] - 2025-10-27
-
-### Changed - Migration System Modernization
-
-**Simplified to Knex-only migrations with organized directory structure**
-
-#### Migration System Cleanup
-- **Removed custom migration system** (14 obsolete files from `src/migrations/`)
-- **Pure Knex migrations** - Standardized on Knex.js migration framework
-- **Organized structure** - 22 migrations grouped into 3 logical subdirectories:
-  - `upgrades/` (7 files) - Version upgrade paths (v1.0 → v3.6)
-  - `bootstrap/` (5 files) - Fresh install foundation
-  - `enhancements/` (10 files) - v3.6.0+ feature additions
-
-#### Testing & CI/CD
-- **Migration tests updated** - Converted to use Knex migrations exclusively
-- **Comprehensive test coverage** - 8/9 versions migrate successfully (89% backward compatibility)
-- **Husky git hooks** - Pre-commit (build + tests), pre-push (migration tests)
-- **GitHub Actions workflow** - CI/CD pipeline for Node 18.x/20.x
-
-#### Benefits
-- **Better maintainability** - Clear organization, standard tooling
-- **Easier onboarding** - Knex is industry-standard
-- **Faster development** - 56% time efficiency via parallel execution
-
----

-- **6 New Help Actions** - Granular queries for actions, parameters, tools, use-cases
-- **41 Use-Cases** - Comprehensive workflow examples across 6 categories
-- **100% Test Coverage** - 38/38 tests passing
-
-#### New MCP Actions (stats tool)
-- `help_action` - Query single action with parameters and examples
-- `help_params` - Query parameter list for an action
-- `help_tool` - Query tool overview + all actions
-- `help_use_case` - Get single use-case with full workflow
-- `help_list_use_cases` - List/filter use-cases by category/complexity

-
-#### Database Schema
-7 new tables: `m_help_tools`, `m_help_actions`, `m_help_use_case_categories`, `t_help_action_params`, `t_help_action_examples`, `t_help_use_cases`, `t_help_action_sequences`
-
-#### Migration from v3.5.x
-- Automatic migration on startup
-- Backward compatible - all existing MCP actions unchanged
-- Zero downtime
-
----
-
-## [3.5.2] - 2025-10-24
-
-### Added - Two-Step Git-Aware Task Workflow
-
-**Automatic task completion and archiving based on Git staging and committing**
-

+
+## [5.2.1] - 2026-06-12
+
+### Added
+
+**Codex hook support (paired with sqlew-plugin v5.2.1)**
+
+MCP hook layer for OpenAI Codex, following the same normalization pattern as Grok Build (v5.2.0). Plugin manifests and hook matchers ship in [sqlew-plugin](https://github.com/sqlew-io/sqlew-plugin) v5.2.1.
+
+- **`normalizeHookInput()` Codex branch** — Maps `shell_command`/`shell`/`exec_command` → `Bash`, `apply_patch` → `Edit`, reads `collaboration_mode` for Plan mode
+- **`codex-transcript.ts`** — Locates `~/.codex/sessions/**/{sessionId}.jsonl` and extracts Plan-mode assistant text for ADR pattern processing
+- **`on-prompt` / `on-exit-plan` Codex paths** — Plan enforcement injection and transcript-based extraction on session `Stop`
+- **`determineProjectRoot()`** — `CODEX_CWD` environment variable support
+- **Unit tests** — `codex-hook-normalization.test.ts`
+- **Docs** — `README.md` and `HOOKS_GUIDE.md` updated; manual `sqlew-codex-skills` copy install deprecated
+
+### Fixed
+
+**`isPlanMode()` — Grok plan-mode tool names not detected after normalization**
+
+`normalizeHookInput()` maps Grok's `enter_plan_mode` / `exit_plan_mode` tool names to the canonical Claude-shaped `EnterPlanMode` / `ExitPlanMode` before any detection runs. `isPlanMode()` only checked the raw snake_case names, so the tool-name branch never matched and Grok Build's plan mode was never detected via tool context.
+
+- **`isPlanMode()`** — Now matches the normalized `EnterPlanMode` / `ExitPlanMode` names. Raw snake_case names are still accepted defensively for callers that bypass normalization.
+- **Tests** — Added `isPlanMode` regression coverage to `grok-hook-normalization.test.ts` (Claude `permission_mode`, normalized Grok payloads, raw snake_case, non-plan tools).
+
+Claude Code was unaffected by this bug because it is detected via `permission_mode === 'plan'`, which is evaluated first.
+
+> **Note:** Plan-mode ADR enforcement requires the sqlew plugin to be enabled in the active scope. Enabling it only per-project (`.claude/settings.local.json`) silently skips enforcement in other projects; enable `sqlew@sqlew-plugin` in the global `~/.claude/settings.json` for always-on coverage.
+
+---
+
+## [5.2.0] - 2026-06-11
+
+### Added
+
+**Grok Build support (sqlew-plugin v5.2.0)**
+
+Unified Plan-to-ADR support for Grok Build alongside Claude Code via a single sqlew-plugin install. No separate sqlew-grok adapter required.
+
+- **`normalizeHookInput()`** — Translates Grok hook payloads (`hookEventName`, `toolName`, `sessionId`, `workspaceRoot`) to canonical Claude-shaped `HookInput`. Claude payloads pass through unchanged.
+- **`computeGrokPlanPath()`** — Resolves per-session plan file at `~/.grok/sessions/<encodeURIComponent(cwd)>/<sessionId>/plan.md`.
+- **`injectGrokPlanTemplate()`** — Appends Decision/Constraint template to `plan.md` on `enter_plan_mode` (file side-effect). Grok ignores passive hook stdout; skills auto-invocation is unreliable.
+- **`GROK_WORKSPACE_ROOT`** — Added to `determineProjectRoot()` for MCP server project root resolution.
+- **Grok `sendBlock()` compat** — PreToolUse deny hooks emit `{"decision":"deny","reason":"..."}` on stdout for Grok (in addition to exit 2 + stderr for Claude Code).
+- **Unit tests** — `grok-hook-normalization.test.ts`, `grok-plan-template-injection.test.ts`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`on-prompt`** — Early return for Grok client (`UserPromptSubmit` stdout is ignored on Grok).
+- **`on-exit-plan` / `track-plan`** — Record `CurrentPlanInfo.plan_path` for Grok; always re-resolve from `session_id` on exit.
+- **`plan-processor`** — Prefer explicit `plan_path` over legacy Claude global plans resolver.
+- **`docs/HOOKS_GUIDE.md`** — Replaced sqlew-grok adapter instructions with `grok plugin install sqlew-io/sqlew-plugin --trust` workflow.
+
+### Plugin Changes (sqlew-plugin v5.2.0)
+
+- Hook matchers: `enter_plan_mode` / `exit_plan_mode` alongside Claude tool names
+- Skills: Grok-specific plan mode guidance (`sqlew-plan-guidance`, `sqlew-decision-format`)
+
+---
+
+## [5.1.0] - 2026-03-07
+
+### Changed
+
+**📁 `.sqlew.env` relocated to `~/.config/sqlew/.sqlew.env`**
+
+The cloud API key file (`~/.sqlew.env`) has been moved to `~/.config/sqlew/.sqlew.env` to align with the v5.1 unified global config path. Automatic migration copies the old file and deletes it (API key security: no stale copies). `saveCachedProjectId()` now calls `ensureGlobalConfigDir()` for directory safety.
+
+**🔒 db:export Project Scope Auto-Detection (Security)**
+
+`db:export` no longer exports all projects by default. With the global shared database (v5.1.0), the default "export everything" behavior risked leaking other projects' decision data.
+
+- **Auto-detect**: Project name resolved from `.sqlew/config.toml` `[project].name` when no `project=` option is given
+- **Explicit all**: `project=all` required to export all projects (escape hatch)
+- **Error on ambiguity**: If no project name is found (no CLI arg, no config.toml), the command exits with an actionable error message
+- **Breaking change**: Previously, omitting `project=` exported all projects silently
+
+### Resolution Priority
+
+```
+1. CLI argument: project=<name>     (highest)
+2. config.toml: [project].name
+3. Error exit                       (lowest)
+```
+
+---
+
+## [5.0.6] - 2026-02-14
+
+### Changed
+
+**🧹 CLAUDE.md Injection Removed — Hook-based Plan Mode Enforcement**
+
+Plan mode enforcement migrated from `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` injection (~193 lines always loaded) to `UserPromptSubmit` hook with `permission_mode` check (~5 lines, plan mode only).
+
+- New `on-prompt` CLI command: `UserPromptSubmit` hook handler that detects `permission_mode === "plan"` and injects enforcement context via plain text stdout
+- `track-plan` hook (EnterPlanMode): shares same enforcement context for agent-initiated plan mode coverage
+- Legacy `injectToGlobalClaudeMd()` replaced with `cleanupGlobalClaudeMd()` — auto-removes `<!-- sqlew:auto-injected -->` markers from `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` on MCP startup
+- Removed `assets/claude-md-snippets/` directory (`plan-mode-integration.md`, `queue-monitoring.md`)
+
+### Plugin Changes (sqlew-plugin)
+
+- Added `UserPromptSubmit` hook entry in `hooks.json` (`sqlew on-prompt`, timeout: 10s)
+- Skills descriptions strengthened to REQUIRED/MUST tone (`sqlew-decision-format`, `sqlew-plan-guidance`)
+- `sqlew-plan-guidance` expanded: suggest search steps, Related Context template, queue monitoring, failed queue resolution
+
+### Technical Notes
+
+- `UserPromptSubmit` hook requires **plain text stdout** (not JSON `additionalContext` format). This is different from `SessionStart`/`PostToolUse` hooks which use JSON format.
+- Non-plan mode: hook outputs nothing and exits 0 (transparent, no system-reminder shown)
+
+---
+
+## [5.0.4] - 2026-02-04
+
+### Added
+
+**📌 Decision Context Auto-Registration from Plan Mode**
+
+- Plan-to-ADR pipeline now automatically extracts and registers decision context (rationale, alternatives, tradeoffs) from plan files
+- New `decision_context` queue item type in `.sqlew/queue/pending.json`
+- `plan-pattern-extractor.ts`: Extracts `Rationale`, `Alternatives`, `Tradeoffs` fields from `📌 Decision` blocks
+- `plan-processor.ts`: Enqueues `decision_context` items after corresponding `decision` items (ordering guaranteed)
+- `hook-queue.ts`: New `enqueueDecisionContextCreate()` with duplicate prevention
+- `queue-watcher.ts`: New `processDecisionContextItem()` converts comma-separated alternatives to JSON array, routes through ToolBackend abstraction
+
+### SaaS Compatibility
+
+- `add_decision_context` action fully supported via SaaS backend (`/api/v1/decision/add_decision_context`)
+- `suggest/by_context` for constraints: improved text matching for long constraint texts (server-side Levenshtein fix)
+
+---
+
+## [5.0.3] - 2026-02-04
+
+### Fixed
+
+**🧟 Zombie Process on Parent Exit (Windows)**
+
+- MCP server processes remained alive after Claude Code exited, accumulating as zombie processes in Task Manager
+- Root cause: MCP SDK's `StdioServerTransport` only listens for stdin `data`/`error`, not `end`. When combined with chokidar's `persistent: true` file watcher (QueueWatcher), the Node.js event loop stayed alive indefinitely
+- Added `process.stdin.on('end')` handler to detect parent process exit and trigger graceful shutdown
+- Added `stopQueueWatcher()` to all shutdown handlers (`registerShutdownHandlers`, `performCleanup`) — the function existed since v4.1.0 but was never wired into the shutdown flow
+
+**🔍 Schema Version Detection for v5.0**
+
+- Fixed `[WARN] Unknown schema version detected` on every startup
+- `detectSchemaVersion()` checked for `v4_tasks` table (dropped in v5.0 migration), causing detection to always fail on v5 schema
+- Added v5 schema detection: checks `m_projects` + `t_decisions` + `t_constraints` with `v4_tasks` absence to distinguish from v4
+- Schema now correctly reports `v5.x (using m_/t_ tables)` with proper `tablePrefix='m_'` and `transactionPrefix='t_'`
+
+---
+
+## [5.0.2] - 2026-02-03
+
+### Fixed
+
+**🐛 on-session-start Hook CLI Routing Bug**
+
+- Fixed `on-session-start` command being incorrectly routed to MCP server instead of CLI handler
+- The command name was being interpreted as a database path argument, causing incorrect DB connections
+- Added `on-session-start` to CLI command lists in both `index.ts` and `cli.ts`
+- Also added missing `on-enter-plan` to `index.ts` for consistency
+
+**Root Cause**: When SessionStart hook executed `sqlew on-session-start`, the command was not recognized as a CLI command and fell through to MCP server mode. The argument parser then treated `on-session-start` as a legacy positional argument for `--db-path`, resulting in a database file named `on-session-start` being created and used.
+
+---
+
+## [5.0.1] - 2026-02-02
+
+### Changed
+
+**🔒 Security: saas-connector submodule integration (Issue #84)**
+
+- Integrated saas-connector submodule directly into `src/saas-connector/`
+- Removed `prebuild` script that triggered npm package scanner alerts
+- Converted saas-connector from CommonJS to ESM for unified tsc build
+- Eliminated separate esbuild step and `npm install` in subdirectory
+- No functional changes - same SaaS backend behavior
+
+**Rationale**: The `prebuild` script (`cd saas-connector && npm install && npm run build`) was flagged by npm security scanners as a potential risk. While the code itself was safe, the submodule architecture created unnecessary complexity and security perception issues.
+
+---
+
+## [5.0.0] - 2026-01-31
+
+### Added

+- `HelpSystemLoader` for startup-time loading with in-memory caching (O(1) lookups)
+- 15 TOML files: 8 tool files (including queue) + 6 use case workflows + 1 schema file
+
+### Changed
+
+- **MCP tools: 6 → 7** (queue tool added)
+- `help`, `example`, `use_case` tools now load from TOML files instead of database
+- Database schema reduced: 18 tables (7 master + 11 transaction)

+- Multi-database backend now includes Cloud option (SQLite/PostgreSQL/MySQL/Cloud)
+- Constraint ID now supports both `number` (SQLite) and `string` UUID (SaaS)
+- `constraint_id` parameter renamed to `id` (backward compatibility maintained via alias)
+- Lazy initialization of agent name after MCP handshake completion
+
+### Removed
+
+- **Per-project Skills/Hooks installation** - Use sqlew-plugin from marketplace instead
+- **7 help database tables**: m_help_tools, m_help_actions, m_help_use_case_cats, t_help_action_params, t_help_action_examples, t_help_use_cases, t_help_action_sequences
+- `help-queries.ts` (replaced by HelpSystemLoader)
+- Task and file management tables (deprecated in v4.3.0)
+
+---
+
+## [4.3.1] - 2026-01-06
+
+### Added
+
+- **`.claude/rules/` integration**: Plan mode templates now installed to `.claude/rules/plan-mode-integration.md` instead of modifying CLAUDE.md directly
+- Incremental `.gitignore` updates: Missing sqlew entries are now added even if sqlew section already exists
+- Deprecation notices added to `file` tool help (matching `task` tool)
+
+### Changed
+
+- **BREAKING**: `sqlew --init` no longer edits CLAUDE.md - uses `.claude/rules/` directory instead
+- Plan mode template enhanced with stronger MUST/REQUIRED language for constraints
+- DRY improvements: Common suggest tool logic extracted to `suggest-helpers.ts`
+
+### Deprecated
+
+- **Specialized agents** (`scrum_master`, `researcher`, `architect`): No longer needed with Claude Opus 4.5's improved capabilities. Disabled by default, will be removed in v5.0
+
+### Removed
+
+- Obsolete types from `types.ts` (duplicate JSON Import types, deprecated message system types)

+- Cross-DB compatibility verified: SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL
+
+### Changed
+
+- Hook operations now use file queue instead of direct DB access (<100ms latency)

+
+---
+
+## [4.0.5] - 2025-12-19
+
+### Changed
+
+**License Change: AGPL-3.0 → Apache-2.0**

+
+---
+
+## [4.0.4] - 2025-12-10
+
+### Fixed
+

+
+- Fixed `sync-commands.ts` referencing obsolete command files (`sqw-scrum.md`, `sqw-documentor.md`, etc.)
+- Updated to use new unified `sqlew.md` command file
+- Resolves "Source file not found" errors during npm package installation
+
+### Added
+
+**Agent Skills Configuration**
+
+- Added `skills` field to agent YAML frontmatter for automatic skill loading
+- All sqlew agents now reference `sqlew-plan-guidance` skill
+- Agents: `sqlew-architect`, `sqlew-researcher`, `sqlew-scrum-master`
+
+**Config Example Update**
+
+- Added `[commands]` section to `assets/config.example.toml`
+- Documents the unified `/sqlew` command configuration
+
+### Changed

+
+---
+
+## [4.0.3] - 2025-12-04
+
+### Added
+
+**Unified `/sqlew` Slash Command**
+
+- Consolidated all slash commands (`/sqw-plan`, `/sqw-scrum`, `/sqw-research`, etc.) into single `/sqlew` command
+- Natural language interface with automatic intent detection
+- 6-level intent priority: List/Status → Search → Record → Update → Execute → Task Creation
+- Supports both English and Japanese keywords
+- Removed custom agent definitions (sqlew-architect, scrum-master, sqlew-researcher)
+
+**Usage Examples:**
+```bash
+/sqlew                           # Show status and suggest next action
+/sqlew show remaining tasks      # List/Status intent
+/sqlew search for auth decisions # Search intent
+/sqlew record that we use JWT    # Record intent
+/sqlew execute pending tasks     # Execute intent
+```
+
+### Fixed
+
+**v4_task_details JOIN Bug**
+
+- Fixed `task.get` action failing with "no such column: td.project_id" error
+- Root cause: `v4_task_details` table has only `task_id` as PK, not `project_id`
+- Removed invalid `.andOn('t.project_id', '=', 'td.project_id')` from JOIN conditions
+- Affected files: `task-queries.ts`, `get.ts`
+
+### Changed
+
+**Documentation Updates**
+
+- Rewrote `CLAUDE.md` with unified `/sqlew` command section

+- Rewrote `docs/SLASH_COMMANDS.md` as Unified /sqlew Command Guide
+
+---
+
+## [4.0.2] - 2025-11-28
+
+### BREAKING CHANGES
+
+**SQL Dump No Longer Supports Cross-Database Format Conversion**
+
+The `db:dump` command now generates SQL for the **same database type only**. Cross-database migrations (e.g., SQLite → MySQL) must use JSON export/import instead.
+
+**Migration Required:**
+```bash
+# ❌ Old approach (no longer supported)
+npx sqlew db:dump mysql backup.sql  # Cross-DB conversion removed
+
+# ✅ New approach: Use JSON for cross-database migration
+npx sqlew db:export backup.json     # Export to JSON
+npx sqlew db:import backup.json     # Import to target database
+```
+
+**Rationale:**
+- SQL syntax differences between databases caused data corruption issues
+- Case-insensitive pattern matching failed in certain scenarios
+- JSON format is database-agnostic and handles all data types correctly
+
+**Node.js 20+ Required**
+
+Minimum Node.js version updated from 18.0.0 to 20.0.0.
+
+### Added
+
+**Unified CLI Entry Point**
+
+- `npx sqlew db:export`, `npx sqlew db:import`, `npx sqlew db:dump` now work directly
+- No `npm install` required - just use `npx sqlew <command>`
+- CLI commands and MCP server mode unified under single `sqlew` entry point
+- Removed separate `sqlew-cli` binary
+
+### Fixed
+
+**Case-Insensitive Validation for Master Records**
+
+- Added case-insensitive duplicate detection when registering new records
+- Prevents duplicate entries like "MyTag" and "mytag" from being created
+- Applies to tags, scopes, layers, and other master table entries
+- New utility: `src/utils/case-insensitive-validator.ts`
+
+**SQLite to MySQL SQL Dump Case-Sensitivity Bug**
+
+- Fixed regex pattern matching that failed with case variations
+- SQL dump now correctly handles mixed-case identifiers
+- Enhanced schema table export for better compatibility
+
+### Changed
+
+**Export Version Tracking**
+
+- Export JSON now includes proper version metadata
+- Version information helps with import compatibility checks
+- Clearer error messages when importing incompatible versions
+
+**CLI Documentation Update**
+
+- Updated `docs/cli/README.md` with JSON-first migration workflow
+- Added clear guidance on when to use `db:dump` vs `db:export`/`db:import`
+- Improved comparison table for migration scenarios
+
+### Added
+
+**Case-Insensitive Validator Utility**
+
+- New `src/utils/case-insensitive-validator.ts` for consistent validation
+- Comprehensive test suite: `src/tests/unit/utils/case-insensitive-validator.test.ts`
+- Reusable across all master table operations
+
+### Migration Notes
+
+**Backward Compatibility:**
+- Existing databases unaffected
+- JSON export/import workflows unchanged
+- SQL dumps for same-database-type operations still work
+
+**Action Required:**
+- Update any scripts that use `db:dump` for cross-database migrations
+- Switch to `db:export`/`db:import` for SQLite ↔ MySQL ↔ PostgreSQL migrations
+
+---
+
+## [4.0.1] - 2025-11-28
+
+### Removed
+
+**Database Views Eliminated**
+
+- Dropped all database views (`v_tagged_constraints`, `v_recent_file_changes`, etc.)
+- Views caused migration complexity across SQLite/MySQL/PostgreSQL due to database-specific syntax
+- Migration: `20251128000000_drop_all_views.ts`
+
+### Changed
+
+**JOIN-Based Queries**
+
+- `src/tools/constraints/actions/get.ts` - Replaced `v_tagged_constraints` view with JOIN query
+- `src/tools/files/actions/get.ts` - Replaced `v_recent_file_changes` view with JOIN query
+- Uses `UniversalKnex` wrapper for cross-database compatibility (date functions, boolean values, string aggregation)
+
+**VCS Test Cleanup**
+
+- `src/tests/feature/vcs/git-aware-completion.test.ts` - Added automatic git reset after tests
+- Test commits are now automatically dropped when tests complete
+- Prevents test artifacts from polluting git history
+
+### Added
+
+**No-Views Guardrail Skill**
+
+- `.claude/skills/no-views/SKILL.md` - Documentation for view prohibition policy
+- `.claude/skills/skill-rules.json` - Added `no-views` rule (enforcement: block)
+- Blocks creation of database views, requires JOINs instead
+
+**Documentation Updates**
+
+- `CLAUDE.md` - Updated to reflect no-views policy
+- Removed Views section from database schema documentation
+- Added `no-views` to Guardrail Skills table
+
+---
+
+## [4.0.0] - 2025-11-27
+
+### Changed
+
+**Concept & Positioning**
+
+- Reframed sqlew as a **shared SQL-backed context repository** and a **Decision & Constraint repository layer** for AI tools
+- Clarified that Decisions capture *why* changes were made and Constraints capture *how* code should be written
+- Updated README introduction to focus on "Never Start From Zero Context Again" and the repository-based metaphor instead of generic "memory"
+
+**Documentation & Cleanup**
+
+- Updated `README.md` to describe sqlew as a context repository rather than an abstract memory layer
+- Aligned terminology across docs around Decisions, Constraints, tasks, and the repository layer
+- Confirmed that previously removed/legacy features remain out of scope, keeping focus on decision history and constraint rules
+
+> Note: v4.0.0 is primarily a **concept and documentation alignment release**. Core Decision/Constraint features and the v3.9.x database schema remain compatible; no breaking API changes were introduced for existing integrations.
+
+---
+
+## [3.9.0] - 2025-01-15
+
+### Added
+
+**🎯 Decision Intelligence System with Three-Tier Similarity Detection**
+
+**New `suggest` Tool:**
+- **by_key** - Pattern-based decision search (e.g., "api/*/latency" finds all API latency decisions)
+- **by_tags** - Tag similarity scoring for related decisions (Jaccard similarity)
+- **by_context** - Combined key + tags + layer search for best matches
+- **check_duplicate** - Duplicate decision detection with similarity scoring (0-100 points)
+
+**Three-Tier Duplicate Detection (Auto-Triggered):**
+- **Tier 1 (35-44 points):** Gentle nudge - Non-blocking warning with suggestions
+- **Tier 2 (45-59 points):** Hard block - Prevents creation, requires explicit override or update
+- **Tier 3 (60+ points):** Auto-update - Transparently updates existing decision, preserves new value
+
+**Similarity Scoring Algorithm:**
+- Tag overlap: 0-40 points (10 per matching tag, max 4)
+- Layer match: 0-25 points (same layer bonus)
+- Key similarity: 0-20 points (pattern + Levenshtein distance)
+- Recency: 0-10 points (recent updates prioritized)
+- Priority: 0-5 points (critical decisions weighted)
+
+**Policy-Based Auto-Triggering:**
+- Suggestions automatically triggered when policies have `suggest_similar=1`
+- Integrated with `decision.set` - returns suggestions in response
+- Configurable relevance threshold via `min_score` parameter (default: 30)
+- Policy validation rules support for targeted auto-triggering
+
+**Enhanced Decision Metadata:**
+- `duplicate_reason` - Similarity explanation with matched tags and layer info
+- `update_command` - Ready-to-use command for updating existing decisions
+- `version_info` - Existing decision version tracking
+- `auto_updated` flag - Indicates Tier 3 transparent updates
+
+**Supporting Features:**
+- Tag parser utility (`src/utils/tag-parser.ts`) for flexible tag handling
+- Policy validation integration (`src/utils/policy-validator.ts`)
+- Suggestion scorer (`src/utils/suggestion-scorer.ts`) with breakdown
+- Self-exclusion logic (prevents matching against own key during updates)
+
+### Fixed
+
+**PostgreSQL Cross-Database Compatibility**
+- Fixed CAST type mismatch in `v_tagged_decisions` view export
+- PostgreSQL now correctly handles `COALESCE(TEXT, NUMERIC)` with `CAST(value AS TEXT)`
+- MySQL/MariaDB use `CAST(value AS CHAR)` for compatibility
+- Migration: `20251114000000_fix_v_tagged_decisions_numeric_support.ts`
+- SQL dump export: Enhanced view conversion in `src/utils/sql-dump/schema/views.ts`
+- Result: All 20 cross-database tests passing (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL)
+
+**Test Suite Improvements**
+- Fixed FK constraint cleanup order in `decision-intelligence-e2e.test.ts`
+- Child records now deleted before parent records (tags → scopes → context → decisions)
+- Result: 3/3 e2e workflow tests passing, no cleanup errors
+
+**Schema Fixes**
+- Migration `20251112000001_fix_task_file_links_schema_v3_9_0.ts` - Fixed UNIQUE constraint
+- Migration `20251112000002_fix_task_pruned_files_schema_v3_9_0.ts` - Enhanced task file tracking
+- All migrations idempotent with existence checks
+
+### Changed
+
+**Test Organization (Docker Dependency Separation)**
+- Moved 7 Docker-dependent tests to `src/tests/docker/` directory
+- `npm test` now runs 481 unit tests without Docker (0 failures)
+- `npm run test:docker` runs cross-database tests (requires Docker containers)
+- Removed `test:all` script (caused database conflicts)
+- Updated `.husky/pre-commit` to reflect test separation
+- Decision documented in SQLew: `test-organization-docker-separation`
+
+**Git Hook Enhancement**
+- Pre-commit hook now checks for **PUSHED** migration files instead of just committed
+- Auto-detects remote branch (origin/main, origin/master, origin/dev)
+- Allows editing locally committed migrations (not yet pushed)
+- Prevents editing migrations that exist in remote
+- Graceful fallback for local-only repositories
+
+**Debug Output Cleanup**
+- Commented out scope validation warnings in test output
+- Removed DEBUG/DIAGNOSTIC console.log statements
+- Cleaner test output focusing on actual results
+- 75% reduction in test output verbosity
+
+### Removed
+
+**Code Cleanup**
+- Deleted monolithic `src/utils/sql-dump.ts` (-1,799 lines)
+- Functionality now in modular structure:
+  - `src/utils/sql-dump/schema/tables.ts`
+  - `src/utils/sql-dump/schema/views.ts`
+  - `src/utils/sql-dump/schema/primary-keys.ts`
+  - `src/utils/sql-dump/schema/indexes.ts`
+- Deleted test tracking files (`test-tracking/file1.ts`, etc.)
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Updated `CLAUDE.md` - Changed policy from "NEVER EDIT COMMITTED" to "NEVER EDIT PUSHED"
+- Created `STAGED_CHANGES_SUMMARY.md` - Comprehensive v3.9.0 change summary
+- Created `NEW_TOOL_DESCRIPTION.md` - Suggest tool reference
+
+### Performance
+
+- Enhanced file pruning logic (`src/utils/file-pruning.ts`)
+- Improved VCS adapter file status tracking (`src/utils/vcs-adapter.ts`)
+- Better task stale detection (`src/utils/task-stale-detection.ts`)
+- Activity logging enhancements for suggestion tracking
+
+### Testing
+
+**Test Results:**
+- ✅ **495/495 tests passing (100%)** - Production-ready
+- ✅ Tier 1 (Gentle Nudge): 5/5 tests passing
+- ✅ Tier 2 (Hard Block): 2/2 tests passing
+- ✅ Tier 3 (Auto-Update): 3/3 tests passing
+- ✅ Auto-trigger suggestions: 4/4 tests passing
+- ✅ Edge cases and error handling: All passing

+
+**Test Suite Enhancements:**
+- AI-optimized quiet mode (80-90% token reduction, shows only failures + summary)
+- Verbose mode available with `:verbose` suffix (e.g., `npm run test:verbose`)
+- Cross-platform filter script (`scripts/filter-test-output.js`)
+- Comprehensive three-tier similarity detection test coverage
+
+**Coverage:**
+- Overall: 64.85% line coverage

+
+### Migration Notes
+
+**Backward Compatibility:**
+- v3.9.0 is fully backward compatible with v3.8.x
+- No breaking changes
+- Automatic migration on server startup
+
+**Database Changes:**
+- 3 new enhancement migrations (all idempotent)
+- Schema changes apply automatically
+- Safe to rollback by restoring backup
+
+**Files Changed:**
+- 50 files modified
+- 1,857 insertions, 2,096 deletions
+- Net: -239 lines (code reduction through refactoring)
+
+---
+
+## [3.8.1] - 2025-11-11
+
+### Fixed
+
+**Critical Installation Bug**
+
+- Fixed `npm error Invalid Version:` error when installing sqlew@3.8.0
+- Changed `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` dependency from `"latest"` to `"^1.21.1"` in package.json
+- The `"latest"` tag is not a valid semver version for published packages and caused npm dependency resolution to fail
+- This is a **hotfix release** that resolves installation issues preventing users from using v3.8.0
+
+**Impact:**
+- All users experiencing `Invalid Version:` errors when running `npx sqlew` can now install successfully
+- No functional changes from v3.8.0 - only dependency version fix
+
+---
+
+## [3.8.0] - 2025-11-09
+
+### BREAKING CHANGES
+
+**Batch Action Naming Standardization**
+
+`task.batch_create` has been renamed to `task.create_batch` to follow the `<verb>_batch` naming pattern used by other batch actions (`set_batch`, `record_batch`).
+
+**Migration Required:**
+```typescript
+// ❌ Old (v3.7.x and earlier)
+task({ action: "batch_create", tasks: [...] })
+
+// ✅ New (v3.8.0+)
+task({ action: "create_batch", tasks: [...] })
+```
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Achieves 100% consistency across all batch actions
+- Improves alphabetical sorting in IDE auto-completion (create → create_batch)
+- Aligns with industry standard (REST APIs, GraphQL, ORMs use suffix pattern)
+- See docs/ADR-batch-naming-standard.md for full justification
+
+**Impact:**
+- All code using `task.batch_create` must update to `task.create_batch`
+- Simple find-replace migration (estimated 2-5 minutes per integration)
+- No database schema changes required
+
+### Removed
+
+**Config Tool Removed (Phase 6)**
+
+The orphaned config tool has been removed in favor of CLI-only configuration:
+
+- **Deleted**: `src/tools/config.ts` (307 lines)
+- **Removed**: `ConfigAction` type from `src/types.ts` and `src/types/actions.ts`
+- **Removed**: ConfigAction import from `src/utils/parameter-validator.ts`
+- **Updated**: README.md with CLI-only config approach documentation
+- **Updated**: docs/CONFIGURATION.md already documented config tool removal
+
+**Why removed:**
+- Config tool was never registered in `tool-registry.ts` (orphaned code)
+- Messaging system deprecated (primary use case eliminated)
+- File-based configuration (`.sqlew/config.toml`) is clearer and more maintainable
+- Runtime updates were confusing (changes lost on restart unless manually synced to file)
+- Configuration drift between `m_config` table and config file
+
+**Migration Path:**
+- ✅ **Use `.sqlew/config.toml`** for all configuration (persistent, version-controlled)
+- ✅ **Use CLI arguments** for one-time overrides (`--autodelete-message-hours=48`)
+- ✅ **Internal config operations** preserved (`src/database/config/config-ops.ts`)
+- ✅ **m_config table** preserved (used internally by retention logic)
+
+**Impact:**
+- Cleaner codebase with ~300 lines removed
+- No functional impact - tool was never registered
+- Configuration via file and CLI arguments only
+
+**Message Tool Completely Removed**
+
+The deprecated message tool has been completely removed from the codebase:
+
+- **Deleted**: `src/tools/messaging.ts` (599 lines)
+- **Removed**: Message tool entry from `tool-registry.ts`
+- **Removed**: Message tool handler from `tool-handlers.ts`
+- **Removed**: Message imports from `cli.ts`
+- **Updated**: `MessageAction` type changed to `never` (backward compatibility stub)
+- **CLI**: `sqlew query messages` now returns error message
+
+**Migration Path**:
+- No action required - messaging system was already marked deprecated in v3.6.6
+- The `t_agent_messages` table was dropped in v3.6.6
+- All message tool actions returned deprecation warnings since v3.6.6
+
+**Impact**:
+- Cleaner codebase with ~700 lines removed
+- No functional impact - messaging system was unused
+- MessageAction type remains as deprecated stub for backward compatibility
+
+### Added
+
+**Layer Expansion (5→9 layers)**
+
+Added 4 new layers to enable better task classification and semantic validation:
+
+**New FILE_REQUIRED layers:**
+- `documentation` - README, CHANGELOG, API docs, architecture docs (file_actions required)
+
+**New FILE_OPTIONAL layers:**
+- `planning` - Research, spike tasks, investigation (file_actions optional)
+- `coordination` - Multi-agent orchestration, task delegation (file_actions optional)
+- `review` - Code review, design review, verification (file_actions optional)
+
+**Existing layers** (5→6 FILE_REQUIRED):
+- presentation, business, data, infrastructure, cross-cutting (file_actions required or empty array)
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Documentation layer enforces file operations for docs work
+- Planning layers allow pure research tasks without file boilerplate
+- Better semantic task classification across the development lifecycle
+
+**file_actions Parameter for Tasks**
+
+Introduced semantic `file_actions` parameter to replace generic `watch_files`:
+
+```typescript
+// New file_actions parameter
+task.create({
+  title: "Implement OAuth",
+  layer: "business",
+  file_actions: [
+    { action: "create", path: "src/auth/oauth.ts" },
+    { action: "edit", path: "src/api/router.ts" },
+    { action: "delete", path: "src/auth/legacy.ts" }
+  ]
+});
+
+// Backward compatible - watch_files still works
+task.create({
+  title: "Update config",
+  layer: "infrastructure",
+  watch_files: ["config.toml"]  // Auto-converts to file_actions
+});
+```
+
+**Layer-Based Validation:**
+- FILE_REQUIRED layers (6) → Must provide `file_actions` or `[]`
+- FILE_OPTIONAL layers (3) → Can omit `file_actions` entirely
+- Clear error messages with layer-specific guidance
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Self-documenting: `action: 'create'` vs `action: 'edit'` shows intent
+- Prevents forgotten file watchers (validation enforced)
+- No boilerplate for planning tasks (can omit parameter)
+- Better token efficiency with automatic file watching
+
+**PostgreSQL Adapter Implementation**
+
+Full PostgreSQL 12+ support with complete adapter implementation:
+
+**Adapter Features:**
+- All 15 abstract methods implemented (`insertReturning`, `upsert`, `jsonExtract`, etc.)
+- PostgreSQL-specific SQL syntax (RETURNING, ON CONFLICT, string_agg)
+- Strict type handling (TRUE/FALSE for booleans, not 1/0)
+- Timezone-aware timestamp functions
+- Transaction support with savepoints
+
+**Migration Compatibility:**
+- All 22 migrations tested and verified on PostgreSQL 16.10
+- Cross-database helper functions for view creation
+- Proper CASCADE handling for foreign key dependencies
+- Sequence management after explicit ID inserts
+- GROUP BY strictness compliance
+
+**Supported Databases:**
+- SQLite 3.x (default, development)
+- MySQL 8.0 / MariaDB 10+ (production)
+- PostgreSQL 12+ (production) ✨ NEW
+
+**Configuration:**
+```toml
+[database]
+type = "postgres"
+
+[database.connection]
+host = "localhost"
+port = 5432
+database = "sqlew_db"
+
+[database.auth]
+type = "direct"
+user = "sqlew_user"
+password = "secret"
+```
+
+### Fixed
+
+**Batch Action Parameter Parsing**
+
+Fixed MCP client array serialization issue affecting all batch actions:
+
+**Problem:** MCP client serializes array parameters as JSON strings:
+```typescript
+// MCP sends:
+decisions: "[{\"key\": \"test\", \"value\": \"val\"}]"  // String!
+
+// Expected:
+decisions: [{key: "test", value: "val"}]  // Array
+```
+
+**Solution:** Added JSON parsing in `tool-handlers.ts` for all batch actions:
+- `decision.set_batch` - parse `decisions` parameter
+- `file.record_batch` - parse `file_changes` parameter
+- `task.create_batch` - parse `tasks` parameter
+
+**Impact:** All batch actions now work correctly with array parameters from MCP client.
+
+**Help System Synchronization**
+
+Fixed critical bug where help database was severely out of sync with code:
+
+**Problem:** 25 actions missing from `m_help_actions` table, causing help system to lie about available actions.
+
+**Missing Actions:**
+- decision: 9 actions (quick_set, search_advanced, set_batch, has_updates, etc.)
+- task: 14 actions (update, get, list, move, link, archive, create_batch, etc.)
+- constraint: 1 action (use_case)
+
+**Solution:** Created migration `20251109020000_fix_missing_help_actions_v3_8_0.ts` to:
+- Add all 25 missing actions with correct descriptions
+- Idempotent checks to prevent duplicates
+- Full synchronization between code and database
+
+**Impact:** Help system now accurately reports all available actions.
+
+### Changed
+
+**Tool Registry Schema Fix**
+
+Added `additionalProperties: true` to all tool schemas in `tool-registry.ts`:
+
+**Problem:** MCP couldn't pass action-specific parameters (key, value, tags, etc.) because schemas only defined `action` property.
+
+**Solution:**
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'decision',
+  inputSchema: {
+    type: 'object',
+    properties: {
+      action: { ... }
+    },
+    required: ['action'],
+    additionalProperties: true,  // ← CRITICAL FIX
+  },
+}
+```
+
+**Impact:** All MCP tools now accept action-specific parameters correctly.

+
+## [3.7.4] - 2025-11-08
+
+### Added - Complete JSON Import/Export System
+
+**Full-featured data migration system with smart ID remapping and dependency resolution**
+
+#### New Features
+
+- **db:import CLI Command** - Import project data from JSON exports with automatic ID remapping
+  - Smart conflict detection (skip-if-exists, project-name override)
+  - Dry-run mode for validation before import
+  - Comprehensive error messages with validation details
+- **Topological Sort Algorithm** - Resolves task dependencies during import
+  - Circular dependency detection prevents import of invalid dependency graphs
+  - BFS-based topological sorting ensures dependencies imported before dependents
+  - Preserves all task relationships and blocking constraints
+- **Smart ID Remapping** - Handles complex foreign key relationships
+  - Master table merge logic (reuse existing entries by name/path)
+  - Transaction table ID translation with bidirectional mapping
+  - Junction table relationship preservation
+  - Automatic orphan cleanup for invalid references
+
+#### Import System Architecture
+
+- **4 Core Modules**:
+  1. `import.ts` - Main orchestrator with transaction management
+  2. `master-tables.ts` - Master table merge logic (m_files, m_tags, m_scopes, etc.)
+  3. `topological-sort.ts` - Dependency graph analysis and sorting
+  4. `db-import.ts` - CLI command with argument parsing and validation
+
+#### Data Migration Strategy
+
+- **ID Remapping**: All imported data gets fresh auto-incremented IDs (no ID preservation)
+- **Master Table Deduplication**: Reuse existing entries for agents, tags, scopes, files by name/path
+- **Transaction Atomicity**: All-or-nothing semantics (full rollback on any error)
+- **Project Isolation**: Each import creates independent project with no cross-contamination
+
+#### CLI Examples
+
+```bash
+# Import project from JSON export
+npx sqlew db:import --source=project-backup.json
+
+# Import with custom project name
+npx sqlew db:import --source=data.json --project-name=my-project
+
+# Dry-run validation (no actual import)
+npx sqlew db:import --source=data.json --dry-run
+
+# Export project for migration
+npx sqlew db:export --project=visualizer --output=visualizer-data.json
+```
+
+#### Technical Details
+
+- **Batch Inserts** - 10-row batches to avoid SQLite UNION ALL limits
+- **Foreign Key Validation** - Validates all foreign key references before insertion
+- **View Handling** - Temporarily drops/restores views during schema changes
+- **Idempotent Operations** - Safe to retry on failure
+- **Error Recovery** - Detailed error messages with validation guidance
+
+#### Use Cases
+
+- **Multi-Project Single Database** - Consolidate multiple projects when database creation permissions are limited
+- **Project Sharing** - Share context with team members or between machines
+- **Cross-Database Migration** - Move projects between different databases (different machine, SQLite → MySQL, etc.)
+
+**Note**: Import uses `--skip-if-exists=true` by default. This is NOT a backup/restore solution for the same database.
+Use database-level backups (SQLite file copy, MySQL dump) for backup/restore scenarios.
+
+#### Impact
+
+- ✅ **Complete migration solution** - Export from one database, import to another
+- ✅ **Multi-project support** - Merge multiple project exports into single database
+- ✅ **Permission-friendly** - Works for users who can't create multiple databases
+- ✅ **Data integrity** - Zero data loss, all relationships preserved
+- ✅ **Production ready** - Comprehensive error handling and validation
+- ✅ **Cross-database compatible** - JSON format works across SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL
+
+---
+
+### Fixed - Multi-Project Migration (HOTFIX)
+
+**Critical fix for v3.7.0-v3.7.2 migration in multi-project scenarios**
+
+#### Problem
+
+- Users upgrading from v3.6.10 to v3.7.0+ could end up with duplicate projects
+- Migration 20251104000000 created project #1 with fake name "default-project"
+- Users creating second project manually resulted in namespace conflicts
+
+#### Solution
+
+- Enhanced migration idempotency checks
+- Improved project consolidation logic
+- Better handling of existing project scenarios
+
+#### Impact
+
+- ✅ **Safe multi-project migration** - No duplicate projects created
+- ✅ **Backward compatible** - Works for both fresh installs and upgrades
+- ✅ **Data preservation** - All existing data maintained correctly
+
+---
+
+## [3.7.3] - 2025-11-06
+
+### Fixed - Master Tables Namespace Collision Bug
+
+**Critical bug fix for incomplete multi-project support in v3.7.0-v3.7.2**
+
+#### Problem
+- Master tables (m_files, m_tags, m_scopes) lacked `project_id` columns in v3.7.0-v3.7.2
+- This caused **namespace collisions** where identical file paths/tag names/scope names from different projects would conflict
+- Example: "src/index.ts" from ProjectA would collide with ProjectB's "src/index.ts"
+- Users upgrading from v3.6.x would have fake project name "default-project" instead of detected real name
+
+#### Solution
+- **20251106000000_fix_master_tables_project_id_v3_7_3.ts** - Comprehensive migration that:
+  1. **Data Consolidation** - Detects v3.7.0-v3.7.2 upgrade scenario and consolidates project #2 data into project #1
+  2. **Project Rename** - Renames fake "default-project" to real detected name (from config.toml/git remote/directory)
+  3. **Schema Fix** - Adds `project_id` column to m_files, m_tags, m_scopes with composite UNIQUE constraints
+  4. **Data Migration** - Maps all existing master table data to default project (ID 1)
+  5. **Orphan Cleanup** - Filters out 95 orphaned foreign key references (deleted tasks/tags)
+  6. **View Restoration** - Temporarily drops and restores 4 views during migration
+  7. **Table Restoration** - Backs up and restores 6 referencing tables with updated foreign keys
+
+#### Migration Details
+- **Idempotent** - Can run multiple times safely (checks for existing columns)
+- **Version-Aware** - Only consolidates data for v3.7.0-v3.7.2 databases (detects fake project names)
+- **Batch Inserts** - Uses 10-row batches to avoid SQLite UNION ALL limits
+- **FK Filtering** - Validates foreign key references before restoration to prevent constraint errors
+- **SQLite-Optimized** - Handles better-sqlite3 FK constraint behavior during table drops
+
+#### Technical Changes
+- **m_files**: Added `project_id` column, changed UNIQUE constraint from `(path)` to `(project_id, path)`
+- **m_tags**: Added `project_id` column, changed UNIQUE constraint from `(name)` to `(project_id, name)`
+- **m_scopes**: Added `project_id` column, changed UNIQUE constraint from `(name)` to `(project_id, name)`
+- **Referencing Tables**: Updated t_file_changes, t_task_file_links, t_decision_tags, t_task_tags, t_constraint_tags, t_decision_scopes
+- **Views**: Restored v_layer_summary, v_task_board, v_tagged_decisions, v_tagged_constraints
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ **Fixed namespace collisions** - Files/tags/scopes from different projects can now have identical names
+- ✅ **Data integrity** - All existing data preserved and mapped correctly
+- ✅ **Project consolidation** - v3.7.0-v3.7.2 users get clean migration path
+- ✅ **Real project names** - No more fake "default-project" names
+- ✅ **Orphan cleanup** - Removed invalid foreign key references automatically
+- ✅ **Full idempotency** - Migration can be safely re-run if interrupted
+
+#### Testing
+- ✅ Tested on actual v3.7.2 production database (mcp-sqlew project)
+- ✅ Successfully consolidated 77 decisions, 191 tasks, 61 file changes
+- ✅ Filtered 95 orphaned task-tag references
+- ✅ All views and referencing tables restored correctly
+- ✅ Final database state validated with composite UNIQUE constraints working
+
+---
+
+## [3.7.2] - 2025-11-05
+
+### Changed - Enhanced Sub-Agent Templates
+
+**Improved specialized agent templates for more efficient sqlew usage**
+
+#### Sub-Agent Template Updates
+- **sqlew-scrum-master.md** - Enhanced multi-agent coordination and task management workflows
+- **sqlew-researcher.md** - Improved decision querying and context analysis patterns
+- **sqlew-architect.md** - Enhanced decision documentation and constraint enforcement workflows
+
+#### New Documentation
+  - Installation and configuration instructions
+  - Usage examples for each agent
+  - Token optimization guidelines
+  - Agent comparison and capability matrix
+  - Integration patterns
+  - Troubleshooting guide
+
+#### SQL Dump Enhancements
+- Added type conversion testing (`src/tests/type-conversion.test.ts`)
+- Enhanced SQL dump converters for better type handling
+- Improved SQL dump utilities with expanded functionality
+
+### Fixed - Git LFS PNG Display Issue
+
+**Removed Git LFS tracking for PNG files to fix GitHub display**
+
+#### Problem
+- PNG files were tracked with Git LFS, causing display issues on GitHub
+- Users without Git LFS saw ASCII pointers instead of images
+- README images were not rendering properly
+
+#### Solution
+- Removed `*.png filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text` from .gitattributes
+- Restored actual PNG binary files from pre-LFS commits
+- All PNG images now display correctly on GitHub without requiring Git LFS
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ **Better agent templates** - More efficient sqlew usage patterns
+- ✅ **Comprehensive documentation** - Clear installation and usage guides
+- ✅ **Improved type handling** - Better SQL dump type conversion
+- ✅ **Fixed GitHub display** - PNG images now render properly without Git LFS
+- ✅ **Token efficient** - Optimized agent workflows reduce unnecessary tool calls
+
+---
+
+## [3.7.1] - 2025-11-05
+
+### Fixed - Error Message Visibility
+
+**Fixed validation error messages being hidden by error wrapper**
+
+#### Problem
+- Validation errors (JSON-structured responses) were being wrapped with stack traces
+- Wrong-usage messages were hidden from MCP clients
+- Users received generic error messages instead of helpful validation details
+
+#### Solution
+- **Error Handler Enhancement** - Detect and unwrap JSON validation errors
+  - Validation errors now returned directly to MCP client without wrapping
+  - Stack traces written to logs only (not returned to client)
+  - Token-efficient responses without exposing internal stack details
+- **Parameter Validator Enhancement** - Detect unexpected/invalid parameters
+  - Added validation for parameters that don't match valid list and have no typo suggestion
+  - Improved error messages: "Unexpected params: X. Valid params: Y, Z"
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ **Better UX** - Validation errors are now visible and actionable
+- ✅ **Token efficiency** - No stack traces in MCP responses
+- ✅ **Clearer feedback** - Users see helpful error messages immediately
+- ✅ **Security** - Internal stack details not exposed to clients

+
+## [3.7.0] - 2025-11-05
+
+### Added - Runtime Database Reconnection
+
+**Automatic connection recovery with exponential backoff retry logic**
+
+#### Features
+- **ConnectionManager** - Singleton wrapper for all database operations
+- **Exponential Backoff** - Retry delays: 1s → 2s → 4s → 8s → 16s (31 seconds total)
+- **Smart Error Detection** - Recognizes connection errors across SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL
+- **Process.exit on Exhaustion** - Exits cleanly after 5 failed retries
+- **27 Operations Wrapped** - All transactional operations protected:
+  - context.ts: 5 operations
+  - tasks.ts: 9 operations
+  - files.ts: 3 operations
+  - constraints.ts: 3 operations
+  - config.ts: 2 operations
+  - utils.ts: 5 operations
+
+#### Connection Error Patterns Detected
+- **Network Errors**: ECONNREFUSED, ENOTFOUND, ETIMEDOUT, ECONNRESET, EPIPE
+- **SQLite**: "database is locked", "unable to open database"
+- **MySQL/MariaDB**: "server has gone away", "lost connection to mysql server"
+- **PostgreSQL**: "connection to server was lost", "could not connect to server"
+- **Knex-specific**: "timeout acquiring a connection", "pool is destroyed"
+
+#### Test Coverage
+- **41 tests passing** (22 unit + 19 integration)
+- Retry behavior verification
+- Production scenario simulation (server restart, network failures)
+- Tool integration testing
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ **Resilient operations** - Automatic recovery from transient connection failures
+- ✅ **Production ready** - Handles server restarts, network issues
+- ✅ **Zero regressions** - All existing tests pass
+- ✅ **Token efficient** - No manual retry logic needed in agent code
+
+---
+
+### Changed - Validation Error Messages
+
+**70-85% token reduction in error message size**
+
+#### Token Efficiency
+- **Before**: ~1000+ characters (~300+ tokens) with full examples embedded
+- **After**: ~200 characters (~50 tokens) with reference IDs
+- **Reduction**: 70-85% token savings
+
+#### New Error Format
+```json
+{
+  "error": "Missing: key, value",
+  "action": "set",
+  "reference": "decision.set",
+  "missing": ["key", "value"],
+  "hint": "Use 'quick_set' for simpler usage..."
+}
+```
+
+#### Features
+- **Reference IDs** - Compact `{tool}.{action}` format (e.g., "decision.set")
+- **Concise Messages** - Essential information only
+- **Conditional Fields** - Only include fields when present
+- **Self-Documenting** - AI can query `action: "help"` for full docs if needed
+
+#### Error Types
+- Missing params: `"Missing: key, value"`
+- Typos: `"Invalid params: val → value"`
+- Unknown action: `"Unknown action 'sett'. Did you mean: set?"`
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ **Token efficiency** - 70-85% reduction in error size
+- ✅ **Cost reduction** - Lower API costs for AI agents
+- ✅ **Better UX** - Quick, scannable errors
+- ✅ **Backward compatible** - Error structure unchanged
+
+---
+
+### Changed - Debug Log Format
+
+**Single-line log entries for easier parsing**
+
+#### Problem
+Multi-line log messages broke standard text processing tools (grep, awk, log rotation).
+
+#### Solution
+- **Sanitization Function** - Replaces newlines with spaces, collapses whitespace
+- **Applied To**: All log messages, data values, JSON output
+- **Result**: Every log entry is exactly one line
+
+#### Benefits
+- ✅ **Easier parsing** - Line-based tools work correctly
+- ✅ **Better grep** - Search across entire messages
+- ✅ **Simpler analysis** - Standard text processing
+- ✅ **Cleaner output** - No unexpected line breaks
+
+#### Example
+**Before:**
+```
+[2025-11-05T02:00:00.000Z] [ERROR] Error details:
+Stack trace line 1
+Stack trace line 2
+```
+
+**After:**
+```
+[2025-11-05T02:00:00.000Z] [ERROR] Error details: Stack trace line 1 Stack trace line 2
+```
+
+---
+
+### Changed - Specialized Agent Templates (Error Prevention)
+
+**Restructured agent templates to reduce tool call errors from 60% to <10%**
+
+#### Problem
+- 60% of agent errors: missing `action` parameter in tool calls
+- Templates embedded outdated action samples that became obsolete
+- Agents guessed syntax instead of using discovery workflow
+
+#### Solution
+All three agent templates restructured with error-prevention focus:
+- **sqlew-architect.md** - Decision documentation specialist
+- **sqlew-researcher.md** - Context analysis specialist
+- **sqlew-scrum-master.md** - Sprint coordination specialist
+
+#### Key Improvements
+- ⚠️ **Prominent Error-Prevention Section** - "CRITICAL: Error-Free sqlew Tool Usage" at top
+- 📚 **Discovery-First Workflow** - Guides agents: `action: "help"` → `action: "example"` → copy/modify
+- ❌✅ **Zero-Error Pattern** - Clear WRONG/CORRECT examples for every common mistake:
+  - Missing `action` parameter
+  - Wrong data types (priority: string vs number)
+  - Wrong parameter names (old v2.x API)
+- 🔍 **Pre-Execution Checklist** - Verify `action` parameter before every tool call
+- 🗑️ **No Embedded Samples** - Removed action lists to prevent outdated syntax
+- 🛠️ **Common Data Type Errors** - Shows tag arrays, boolean atomics, integer priorities
+
+#### Upgrade Path
+**Note**: Existing `.claude/agents/` files NOT auto-upgraded (preserves customizations)
+
+**Manual upgrade required**:
+```bash
+# Remove old templates
+rm .claude/agents/sqlew-{architect,researcher,scrum-master}.md
+
+# Restart MCP server (auto-copies new templates from assets/sample-agents/)
+```
+
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ **Target: 60% → <10% error rate** for agent tool calls
+- ✅ **Better UX** - Clear guidance prevents common mistakes
+- ✅ **Self-Correcting** - Agents learn correct patterns from errors
+- ✅ **Future-Proof** - Discovery workflow adapts to API changes
+
+---
+
+### Fixed - Multi-Project Migration (Critical)
+
+**Fixed migration for ALL users upgrading from v3.6.10 to v3.7.0**
+
+#### Problem
+- SQLite's `ALTER TABLE` silently failed for 4 tables with complex foreign keys
+- Migration reported success but columns weren't added
+- Task creation would fail: `"table t_task_details has no column named project_id"`
+
+#### Root Cause
+SQLite cannot modify tables with `ON DELETE CASCADE` constraints using ALTER TABLE.
+
+#### Solution
+- **Table Recreation Strategy** - Backup → Drop → Recreate → Restore
+- **4 Tables Fixed**:
+  - `t_task_details` (STEP 4.7)
+  - `t_task_file_links` (STEP 4.8)
+  - `t_task_decision_links` (STEP 4.9)
+  - `t_task_tags` (composite PRIMARY KEY)
+
+#### Idempotency
+All recreation steps check if `project_id` exists before executing:
+```typescript
+const hasProjectId = await knex.schema.hasColumn('table_name', 'project_id');
+if (!hasProjectId) {
+  // Recreation logic
+}
+```
+
+#### Data Preservation Verified
+- ✅ 223 task detail rows preserved
+- ✅ 632 task tag rows preserved
+- ✅ All task links preserved
+- ✅ 100% data integrity maintained
+
+#### Testing
+- ✅ Fresh installation works
+- ✅ v3.6.10 → v3.7.0 upgrade works
+- ✅ Migration can be re-run safely (idempotent)
+- ✅ TypeScript compiles without errors
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ **Production ready** - Safe for all v3.6.10 users to upgrade
+- ✅ **No data loss** - All existing data preserved
+- ✅ **Idempotent** - Can re-run without errors
+

+
+## [3.6.10] - 2025-10-30
+
+### Added - Environment Variable Support for Project Root
+
+**New `SQLEW_PROJECT_ROOT` environment variable for project-relative databases**
+
+#### Problem
+- Junie AI and other MCP clients require absolute paths in configuration
+- Users had to hardcode project-specific paths in MCP server config
+- No easy way to use project-relative database paths
+
+#### Solution
+- Added `SQLEW_PROJECT_ROOT` environment variable support (inspired by serena-mcp pattern)
+- MCP clients can now pass project directory via environment variable
+- Database automatically created at `$SQLEW_PROJECT_ROOT/.sqlew/sqlew.db`
+
+#### Priority Order
+1. `SQLEW_PROJECT_ROOT` environment variable (NEW - highest priority)
+2. `--db-path` CLI argument (absolute path)
+3. `--config-path` CLI argument (absolute path)
+4. `database.path` in config file (absolute path)
+5. `process.cwd()` fallback
+
+#### Junie AI Configuration Example
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "sqlew": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["sqlew"],
+      "env": {
+        "SQLEW_PROJECT_ROOT": "{projectDir}"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** Junie AI uses `{projectDir}` variable which expands to the current project's absolute path. This ensures each project gets its own isolated database without hardcoded paths. Other MCP clients may use different variable names like `${workspaceFolder}` (VS Code/Cline) - check your client's documentation.
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ **Project-relative databases** without hardcoded absolute paths
+- ✅ **Cleaner MCP configuration** (no per-project path updates needed)
+- ✅ **Compatible with Junie AI, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients**
+- ✅ **No breaking changes** (environment variable is optional)
+
+---
+
+### Fixed - MCP Protocol Compliance (EPIPE Fix)
+
+**Eliminated console output for strict JSON-RPC protocol compliance**
+
+#### Problem
+- EPIPE (broken pipe) errors when running with Junie AI on Windows
+- Console output to stdout/stderr violated MCP JSON-RPC protocol requirements
+- Strict MCP clients (like Junie AI) expect pure JSON-RPC on stdio streams
+
+#### Changes
+- **Redirected all diagnostic output to debug log file** - stdout/stderr reserved exclusively for JSON-RPC
+- Modified `safeConsoleError()` to write to debug log instead of stderr
+- Replaced 50+ console.log/console.error calls across codebase:
+  - `src/database.ts` - Database initialization messages
+  - `src/watcher/file-watcher.ts` - File watcher status and events
+  - `src/watcher/gitignore-parser.ts` - .gitignore loading warnings
+  - `src/tools/tasks.ts` - Task file registration warnings
+  - `src/config/example-generator.ts` - First launch messages
+
+#### Technical Details
+- **MCP Protocol Requirement**: stdin/stdout/stderr must carry only JSON-RPC messages
+- **Debug Logging**: All diagnostic messages now use `debugLog()` with appropriate levels (INFO, WARN, ERROR)
+- **Zero stdout pollution**: Server starts silently, waits for JSON-RPC requests
+- **Tested with Junie AI**: Confirmed no EPIPE errors on Windows
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ **Works with strict MCP clients** (Junie AI, etc.)
+- ✅ **Maintains full diagnostics** via debug log file
+- ✅ **Pure JSON-RPC protocol** compliance
+- ✅ **No breaking changes** to MCP tool functionality

+
+### Fixed - Windows Absolute Path Handling
+
+**Fixed path normalization for Windows environments**
+
+#### Changes
+- Fixed absolute path to relative path conversion in `gitignore-parser.ts`
+- Prevented `uname` Unix command calls on Windows
+- Resolved "path should be a `path.relative()`d string" error on Windows
+- Improved cross-platform path handling in file watcher
+
+#### Technical Details
+- Enhanced path normalization logic to handle Windows drive letters (`C:/`)
+- Added proper Windows-specific path handling checks
+- Fixed compatibility with `ignore` library path requirements
+
+---
+
+## [3.6.8] - 2025-10-30
+
+### Fixed - Windows Environment Compatibility
+
+**Updated better-sqlite3 for Windows support**
+
+#### Changes
+- Updated `better-sqlite3` from `^11.0.0` to `^12.4.1`
+- Fixes Windows environment compatibility issues
+- Improves cross-platform stability
+
+---
+
+## [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)
+

+
+## [3.6.5] - 2025-10-28
+
+### Changed - Agent System Simplification & CI/CD Fix
+
+**Removed messaging system and eliminated agent pooling complexity**

+#### Agent System Cleanup
+- **Removed messaging system** - `t_agent_messages` table dropped, `message` MCP tool deprecated
+  - Messaging system was unused and added unnecessary complexity
+  - Simplified agent architecture to single-purpose registry
+- **Eliminated agent pooling** - Code no longer uses `in_use` and `is_reusable` columns
+  - Removed race conditions and UNIQUE constraint errors
+  - Each agent name creates one permanent record (no reuse/pooling)
+  - Generic agents (`generic-N`) auto-allocated for empty names
+- **6 MCP Tools** - Down from 7 (messaging removed)
+  - `decision`, `file`, `constraint`, `stats`, `config`, `task`
+
+#### Infrastructure
+- **CI/CD Workflow** - Removed npm publish step from GitHub Actions
+  - npm publish requires 2FA authentication
+  - Publishing must be done manually to prevent workflow failures
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ Simplified agent management (no pooling overhead)
+- ✅ Reduced complexity (messaging system removed)
+- ✅ CI/CD workflow no longer fails on npm publish

+## [3.6.4] - 2025-10-28
+
+### Fixed - WSL Git Add Detection
+
+**WSL-specific polling workaround for chokidar file watcher**
+
+#### Changes
+- **1-second polling for WSL** - Added platform-specific chokidar configuration
+  - WSL filesystem events are unreliable with native watching
+  - Polling ensures git add operations are detected consistently
+- **Platform detection** - Automatic WSL detection via `/proc/version`
+- **Backward compatible** - Non-WSL platforms use native file watching (no polling)
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ Git add detection now works reliably on WSL
+- ✅ VCS-aware auto-complete functional across all platforms
+
+---
+
+## [3.6.3] - 2025-10-27
+
+### Fixed - Critical Bug Fixes & Git Add Detection
+
+**Transaction pool exhaustion and VCS-aware auto-complete implementation**
+
+#### Bug Fixes
+- **Task Move Transaction Bug** - Fixed `moveTask` using base `knex` instead of transaction `trx` (line 880)
+  - Caused "Knex: Timeout acquiring a connection" errors
+  - Now properly uses transaction object for `logTaskStatusChange`
+- **Task Link Transaction Bug** - Fixed `linkTask` using base `knex` instead of transaction `trx` (line 948)
+  - Same connection pool exhaustion issue
+  - Now properly uses transaction object for decision link insertion
+
+#### Features
+- **Git Add Detection** - Implemented `detectAndCompleteOnStaging()` for VCS-aware workflow
+  - Detects `git add` operations and auto-completes tasks (`waiting_review` → `done`)
+  - Supports Git, Mercurial, and SVN
+  - Configurable via `git_auto_complete_on_stage` and `require_all_files_staged`
+- **VCS Configuration** - Added comprehensive settings documentation to `config.example.toml`
+  - `git_auto_complete_on_stage` (default: true)
+  - `git_auto_archive_on_commit` (default: true)
+  - `require_all_files_staged` (default: true)
+  - `require_all_files_committed_for_archive` (default: true)
+
+#### Infrastructure
+- **Line Ending Fix** - Added `.gitattributes` to enforce LF endings for shell scripts
+  - Prevents CRLF issues in Husky hooks on Windows/WSL
+  - Applies to `*.sh` and `.husky/*` files
+- **Husky Hooks** - Fixed pre-commit/pre-push hooks (added shebang, normalized line endings)
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ Task operations no longer fail with connection pool timeouts
+- ✅ Git add detection now functional (was stubbed in v3.5.2)
+- ✅ Cross-platform compatibility for git hooks (Windows/WSL/Linux/macOS)

+## [3.6.2] - 2025-10-27
+
+### Changed - Migration System Modernization
+
+**Simplified to Knex-only migrations with organized directory structure**
+
+#### Migration System Cleanup
+- **Removed custom migration system** (14 obsolete files from `src/migrations/`)
+- **Pure Knex migrations** - Standardized on Knex.js migration framework
+- **Organized structure** - 22 migrations grouped into 3 logical subdirectories:
+  - `upgrades/` (7 files) - Version upgrade paths (v1.0 → v3.6)
+  - `bootstrap/` (5 files) - Fresh install foundation
+  - `enhancements/` (10 files) - v3.6.0+ feature additions
+
+#### Testing & CI/CD
+- **Migration tests updated** - Converted to use Knex migrations exclusively
+- **Comprehensive test coverage** - 8/9 versions migrate successfully (89% backward compatibility)
+- **Husky git hooks** - Pre-commit (build + tests), pre-push (migration tests)
+- **GitHub Actions workflow** - CI/CD pipeline for Node 18.x/20.x
+
+#### Benefits
+- **Better maintainability** - Clear organization, standard tooling
+- **Easier onboarding** - Knex is industry-standard
+- **Faster development** - 56% time efficiency via parallel execution
