 ### Unreleased
 
+### v4.5.0 (2026-07-06) — Hybrid Search Ranking & Routing Fix
+
+- **FIX**: `search_knowledge` now searches the entire index when the user omits `category_filter`. The internal `_route_by_keywords()` heuristic previously acted as a hard where-filter on both the semantic and BM25 branches, so queries whose terms happened to map to a sparsely-populated category could return two documents while thousands of relevant chunks in other categories were silently dropped. The router is now **informational only**: the `routed_by` field is still populated in every result for telemetry (public API unchanged), but the candidate set is never restricted. Users who want a hard filter still get it by passing `category_filter=...` explicitly — which continues to filter BM25 consistently with #109. (#112)
+- **NEW**: Hybrid search adds a small bounded ranking boost when query terms match indexed `source` or `filename` metadata, helping navigational queries surface the canonical file for a topic instead of adjacent files that only cross-reference it. The boost is capped at ~20% of typical RRF magnitudes, so it breaks near-ties without overriding semantic or BM25 signal. Public API unchanged. (#110, thanks @Hohlas)
+- **TEST**: New `TestKeywordRoutingBehavior` (3 tests) pins the routing fix — BM25 and semantic branches must both see the full corpus when no explicit filter is passed, and explicit `category_filter` still overrides the router. New `TestPathAwareRanking` covers the path-metadata boost. Baseline: 266 → 271.
+- **UPGRADE NOTE**: warm `query_cache` entries from before v4.5.0 should be invalidated by restarting the server so cached responses no longer reflect the pre-fix restrictive behavior.
+
 ### v4.4.0 (2026-07-06) — Cross-Platform Installer & Hybrid Search Category Filter
 
 - **NEW**: Cross-platform, multi-LLM-client installer (`install.py`) driving both `install.sh` (Linux/macOS) and `install.ps1` (Windows) as thin wrappers. One codebase, one behavior across every OS.
