PostgreSQL + pgvector in CLI mode; automatic SQLite fallback in Cowork/sandboxed mode. v3.17.0 — autonomous per-project wiki: SessionStart auto-spawns a 6-hour consolidate cycle; a headless `claude -p` worker drains the curation-gap queue, calls codebase-intelligence MCP tools to ground each section in the real call graph, and authors missing anchor pages (architecture / services / api / data-flow / operations / decisions / PRD) per project from the source tree. 15 canonical scopes × 13 file sections; per-project dashboards under `wiki/_dashboards/`. Mermaid diagrams have a 🔍 lens with zoom + pan. Workflow graph with caller-qualified CALLS chains rendering full method-to-method dependencies (native tree-sitter, no AP required). Side panel humanized for non-technical users. Ingests codebase analysis (ai-automatised-pipeline) and PRDs (prd-spec-generator) into wiki + memory + knowledge graph. Docker image available.",
