+SuperLocalMemory V2 - Intelligent local memory system for AI coding assistants.
+
+---
+
+## [2.3.0] - 2026-02-08
+
+**Release Type:** Universal Integration Release
+**Release Date:** February 8, 2026
+**Version Code:** 2.3.0-universal
+**Git Tag:** v2.3.0
+**Backward Compatible:** ✅ Yes (100%)
+
+### 🌐 Universal Integration — MAJOR UPDATE
+
+**SuperLocalMemory now works across 16+ IDEs and CLI tools!**
+
+This release fixes the Claude-first distribution gap by adding proper configs, detection, and integration for the tools where most non-Claude developers live.
+
+**Root Cause:** The architecture was always universal (SQLite + MCP + Skills), but the distribution (configs, installer, docs, npm) was Claude-first with bolted-on support for others. This release fixes that.
+
+### ✨ Added — New Integrations
+
+**New Config Templates:**
+- ✅ `configs/codex-mcp.toml` — OpenAI Codex CLI (TOML format, not JSON)
+- ✅ `configs/vscode-copilot-mcp.json` — VS Code / GitHub Copilot (`"servers"` format)
+- ✅ `configs/gemini-cli-mcp.json` — Google Gemini CLI
+- ✅ `configs/jetbrains-mcp.json` — JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm)
+
+**New install.sh Detections:**
+- ✅ OpenAI Codex CLI — Auto-configures via `codex mcp add` or TOML fallback
+- ✅ VS Code / GitHub Copilot — Creates `~/.vscode/mcp.json`
+- ✅ Gemini CLI — Merges into `~/.gemini/settings.json`
+- ✅ JetBrains IDEs — Prints manual setup instructions (GUI-based)
+
+**New CLI Command:**
+- ✅ `slm serve [PORT]` — Start MCP HTTP server for ChatGPT/remote access
+  - Default port: 8001
+  - Documents ngrok/cloudflared tunnel workflow
+  - Enables ChatGPT integration (previously broken)
+
+**Universal Symlink:**
+- ✅ `~/.superlocalmemory` → `~/.claude-memory` — Non-Claude users see universal branding
+  - Zero breaking changes (real directory unchanged)
+  - Additive only (removing symlink doesn't break anything)
+
+**MCP Tool Annotations:**
+- ✅ All 6 tools annotated with `readOnlyHint`, `destructiveHint`, `openWorldHint`
+  - Required by ChatGPT and VS Code Copilot for tool classification
+  - Uses `ToolAnnotations` from MCP SDK
+
+**Skills Installer Expansion:**
+- ✅ Added Cursor to `install-skills.sh`
+- ✅ Added VS Code/Copilot to `install-skills.sh`
+- ✅ Added `--auto` flag for non-interactive mode
+- ✅ `install.sh` now calls `install-skills.sh --auto` automatically
+
+### 🔧 Fixed
+
+**ChatGPT Integration (was broken):**
+- Old config used stdio — ChatGPT only supports HTTP transport
+- New: `slm serve` + tunnel workflow documented
+- Config file replaced with setup instructions
+
+### 📝 Documentation Updates
+
+**docs/MCP-MANUAL-SETUP.md:**
+- Added: OpenAI Codex CLI section
+- Added: VS Code / GitHub Copilot section
+- Added: Gemini CLI section
+- Added: JetBrains IDEs section
+- Added: HTTP Transport section
+- Fixed: ChatGPT section (HTTP workflow replaces broken stdio instructions)
+
+**README.md:**
+- Expanded IDE table from 8 to 17 rows
+- Updated "11+ IDEs" → "16+ IDEs" everywhere

+- **Resolution Parameter:** Adjustable granularity (default: 1.0)
+- **Deterministic:** Same memories always produce same clusters
+- **Scalable:** Handles 100-500 memories efficiently
+- **Quality Metrics:** Modularity scoring for cluster quality
+
+**TF-IDF Entity Extraction:**
+- **Automatic Entity Discovery:** Extracts important terms from memories

+
+**Cluster Auto-Naming:**
+- **Smart Name Generation:** Uses top entities to create descriptive cluster names
+- **Multiple Strategies:**

+
+1. **Framework Preferences:**
+   - Detects: React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Next.js, etc.
+   - Confidence scoring based on frequency
+   - Example: "React (73% confidence)" means 73% of frontend mentions use React
+
+2. **Language Preferences:**
+   - Detects: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Rust, etc.
+   - Context-aware (API vs frontend vs backend)
+   - Example: "Python for APIs, TypeScript for frontend"
+
+3. **Architecture Patterns:**
+   - Detects: Microservices, monolith, serverless, event-driven
+   - Style preferences (REST vs GraphQL, SQL vs NoSQL)
+   - Example: "Microservices (58% confidence)"
+
+4. **Security Approaches:**
+   - Detects: JWT, OAuth, API keys, certificates
+   - Session management patterns
+   - Example: "JWT tokens (81% confidence)"
+
+5. **Coding Style Priorities:**
+   - Detects: Performance vs readability, TDD vs pragmatic
+   - Testing preferences (Jest, Pytest, etc.)
+   - Example: "Performance over readability (58% confidence)"
+
+6. **Domain Terminology:**
+   - Learns project-specific terms
+   - Industry vocabulary (fintech, healthcare, etc.)
+   - Team conventions
+
+**Confidence Scoring Algorithm:**
+- **Frequency-based:** More mentions = higher confidence
+- **Recency weighting:** Recent patterns weighted more
+- **Threshold:** Only patterns with >30% confidence reported
+- **Statistical:** Uses standard deviation for significance
+
+**Adaptive Learning:**
+- Patterns evolve with new memories
+- Automatic recomputation on pattern update
+- Incremental learning (no full rebuild required)
+- Context decay for old patterns
+
+**Identity Context Generation:**
+- Creates AI assistant context from learned patterns
+- Configurable confidence threshold (default: 0.5)
+- Formatted for Claude/GPT prompt injection
+- Example output:
+  ```
+  Your Coding Identity:
+  - Framework preference: React (73% confidence)
+  - Language: Python for backends (65% confidence)
+  - Style: Performance-focused (58% confidence)
+  - Testing: Jest + React Testing Library (65% confidence)
+  - API style: REST over GraphQL (81% confidence)

+## Getting Started
+
+### First-Time Setup
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install system
+./install.sh
+
+# 2. Verify installation
+memory-status
+
+# 3. Build initial graph (after adding memories)
+python3 ~/.claude-memory/graph_engine.py build
+
+# 4. Learn initial patterns (after adding memories)
+python3 ~/.claude-memory/pattern_learner.py update
+```
+
+**System Features:**
+- Automatic database initialization
+- Default profile created on first run
+- Graph and pattern infrastructure ready to use
+- Profile management available from the start
+
+---
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+### Current Limitations
+
+**1. Scalability:**
+- Optimal for < 500 memories
+- Graph builds take longer with 1000+ memories
+- Recommendation: Use profile splitting for large datasets
+
+**2. Language Support:**
+- Entity extraction optimized for English
+- Other languages may have reduced clustering quality
+
+**3. Compression:**
+- Manual trigger required (no auto-compression yet)
+- Tier promotion based on age only (not access patterns)
+
+**4. Graph:**
+- Full rebuild required for updates (no incremental)
+- Clustering deterministic but may vary with algorithm parameters
+
+### Future Improvements
+
+Planned for future releases:
+- Incremental graph updates
+- Auto-compression based on access patterns
+- Multi-language entity extraction
+- Graph visualization UI
+- Real-time pattern updates
+

+
+## Security
+
+### Privacy-First Design
+
+**No External Communication:**
+- Zero API calls
+- No telemetry
+- No auto-updates
+- No cloud sync
+
+**Local-Only Storage:**
+- All data on your machine
+- Standard filesystem permissions
+- Full user control
+
+**Data Integrity:**
+- SQLite ACID transactions
+- Automatic backups
+- Schema validation
+
