 ## [Unreleased]

+### Changed
+
+- `get_task_context` and `query_decisions` show at most 5 lines of related memory reached by
+  expansion. Each line has a short choice snippet and the record's id. The rest are counted
+  in one closing `- (+N more related not shown: …)` line. Global-scope rules and a seed's

+
+### Fixed
+
+- Internal Windows directory junctions are refused by the store's link guard, including
+  junctions added before maintenance. Deliberately linked store roots remain supported.
+
+### Tests
+
+- Native Windows CI exercises packed-store migration, edits, compaction, Git checkout under
+  both autocrlf settings, long paths, busy files, case aliases and older-reader refusal.

+On Windows, format-2 maintenance writes shard bytes in binary mode, avoiding Python's

+(`core.longpaths=true` enables Git for Windows' long-path support).
+That option does not guarantee every Git operation can start from a directory longer than
+260 characters. If Git refuses the store directory during migration's entry checks, the

+Verify each committed operation against its input commit: migration against the format-1
+commit, a record edit against the migrated commit, and compaction against the commit containing

 **A symlinked store belongs to the project that holds the link.** The code a record is anchored
 to lives in that project, so the repository Sidegraph asks about the store is the project's, not
 the one the link points into: the `provenance.commit` stamped at capture is the project's `HEAD`
