Version History

Track the architectural evolution and release milestones of Mind Palace.

[0.4.2-alpha] - 2026-01-27

Recall Type Shortcuts: palace recall decisions, palace recall ideas, palace recall learnings now work as shortcuts for --type filter
Entry Point Detection: palace explore --map main now explains that entry points (main, init, Test*, handlers) are called by the runtime
Low-Confidence Input Rejection: Store command now rejects ambiguous input (less than 40% confidence with no signals) with helpful classification tips
Explore Flag Reordering: palace explore "query" --full now works (flags can come after positional arguments)
Clean Command Feedback: Shows detailed status even when nothing needs cleanup (Sessions: all healthy, Agents: none stale, etc.)
Unified Help System: --help flag now shows the same formatted help as palace help <command>

Store Help: Updated to document --confidence and --tag flags with examples
Recall Help: Updated to document type shortcuts and all filtering options
Main Help: Removed vestigial GOVERNANCE/proposals section (workflow deprecated)
Confidence Display: Learnings in compact recall view now show percentage (50%) instead of bar chart for consistency
VS Code Extension: Slimmed down to status bar + LSP only (removed sidebar views)

Dashboard: Web dashboard removed - use CLI commands (palace status, palace recall, palace explore) instead
VS Code Sidebar: Blueprint, Knowledge, Sessions, and Corridor views removed
VS Code Commands: Removed sidebar-related commands (store, sessions, knowledge graph, etc.)

Recall Type Filter: palace recall decisions no longer incorrectly treated as a search query
Explore —full: Flag after query no longer consumed as part of query string
Help Consistency: palace store --help now matches palace help store output

Governance and quality improvements.

The Brain Engine: A foundational persistent memory system for tracking the “Why” (Ideas, Decisions, and Learnings).
Call Graph Intelligence: Deep symbol relationship tracing using Tree-sitter for deterministic impact analysis.
MCP Infrastructure: Seamless connectivity for AI agents via the Model Context Protocol.
LSP Server: Real-time editor diagnostics for pattern violations and contract mismatches.
VS Code Extension: Minimal status bar + LSP client integration.
