Semantic Notes Vault MCP 0.11.42
Semantic Notes Vault MCP 0.11.42
Retrieval signal honesty — follow-up to 0.11.41.
Fixed:
- Search score labels no longer assert a quality judgement the number cannot support. TF-IDF has no absolute scale, so the fixed bands ('Good' >=1.0, 'Low' >0) were misleading: where most notes share the query term the scores compress, and load-bearing notes were being labelled 'Low'. Scores now render bare and relative to the top hit ('0.36, 25% of top hit'), with an explicit caution not to prune on score.
- The graph's blind spot is now documented, and it is the mirror of search's. Search misses notes written in different vocabulary; traversal only reaches what someone actually linked. They are complements, not substitutes: scan broadly to catch the unlinked, follow links to catch the differently-worded. The graph description now says so, and points at backlinks for finding what depends on a note.
- The 'Summary view' footer read as a truncation warning on tools whose job is faithful retrieval. Only metadata is abbreviated; genuine truncation already announces itself. The footer now names what it actually elides.
- search-traverse is described with its cost (snippets per node, scoreThreshold pruning), not just its brevity.
427 tests passing.
