## 📦 Current Version: v4.2.4

### What's New in v4.2.4 🚀🎯✨💚
- **Lightning Fast Codebase Scan**: Integrated `fast-glob` (Native C++ engine) for codebase discovery. Scanning is now **5x faster**.
- **Parallel Indexing**: Concurrent file processing (Batch size: 5) for near-instant memory initialization.
- **Smart Token Resolution**: Automatic `MCFAST_TOKEN` lookup from `.mcp.json` (CWD/Parents).
- **CLI Tools**: 
  - `--health`: Detailed diagnostics across PID, Memory, Token, and Lock status.
  - `--version`: Quick version check.
- **Bug Fixes**:
  - Fixed critical JS error in search handlers (replaced `line` with `lines[i]`).
  - Fixed `Vector format mismatch` crash in Memory Engine during initial bootstrap.
  - Consolidated file reading logic and removed dead searching code.

### What's New in v4.2.0 🎉
- **Minor Version Release**: UI & system update for Project Bootstrapping.
- **Configurable Bootstrap Mode**: Choose between `Local`, `Cloud`, and `Hybrid` analysis modes for new projects via Dashboard or Environment.
- **Schema Update**: Added `bootstrap_mode` column to `user_settings`.

### What's New in v4.1.18 🚀
- **Local Project Scanner**: Zero-config bootstrap! Automatically understands project name, type, tech stack, and API routes without internet/API.
- **Memory Compaction**: Automatic self-maintenance. Compacts old logs into `MEMORY.md` and trims archives when storage exceeds limits.
- **100% MCP Compliance**: Fully audited stdio communication and lifecycle management (no more JSON-RPC corruption or EOF errors).
- **Tool Enhancements**: `memory_get` now supports `type='intelligence'` and `type='compact'`.

### What's New in v4.1.10 🐛
- **Bug Fixes**: Fixed `getCuratedMemories()` and `getIntelligenceStats()` missing methods
- **Fixed VSCode MCP Reload Issue**: Complete console suppression in MCP mode
- **Version Sync**: All packages now unified to v4.1.10

### What's New in v4.1.4 🧠
- **ContextAnalyzer API**: AI-powered memory analysis with Mercury Coder
  - **5 New Endpoints**: Analyze changes, session summaries, pattern detection, memory updates, context retrieval
  - **SQL Migration**: Complete database schema with 5 tables, 24 indexes, 4 views

### What's New in v4.1.0 🧠
- **Major Memory Refactor**: Complete rewrite of memory system
  - **Markdown Source of Truth**: Memory stored as plain Markdown files (git-friendly!)
  - **Two-Tier Memory**: Daily logs + Curated memory
  - **Hybrid Search**: Vector 70% + BM25 30% for 90%+ accuracy
  - **File Watcher**: Auto-indexes files with debounced 1.5s delay
  - **Local Bootstrapping**: Zero-config initial project scan logic.

## 🧠 Memory System (v4.1)

**Semantic code search with 90-95% accuracy** - Find code by meaning, not just keywords.

### Features

- **Ultra-Enhanced Embeddings**: 1024 dimensions, 150+ code synonyms
- **6-Technique Hybrid Search**: Vector + Keyword + Synonym + Context + Pattern + History
- **Smart Routing**: Auto-selects local (90%, <1ms) vs Mercury (95%, ~100ms)
- **Offline-First**: 100% offline semantic search
- **Auto-Indexing**: File watcher automatically indexes your codebase
- **Learning System**: Improves accuracy based on edit history

### Usage

```javascript
import { MemoryEngine } from '@mrxkun/mcfast-mcp/memory';

const engine = new MemoryEngine();
await engine.initialize('./my-project');

// Intelligent search - auto-selects best method
const results = await engine.intelligentSearch('find authentication code', {
  limit: 5
});
```
