v1.5.0: Major Search & UX Improvements

🚀 Kratos MCP v1.5.0 - Major Search & UX Improvements

Based on real user feedback, this release focuses on making Kratos MCP production-ready with enhanced search functionality and better user experience while maintaining our core feature of perfect project isolation.

🔍 Enhanced Search Functionality

Fixed Critical Issues

• Fixed syntax errors with hyphens/special characters - Resolved the "grably-desktop" → "no such column: desktop" SQL error that was causing searches to fail
• Added comprehensive search fallbacks - When queries fail, Kratos now tries multiple fallback strategies automatically
• Improved require_path_match reliability - Path matching now works consistently for current directory filtering

Better Error Handling

• Enhanced error messages with actionable suggestions - Clear guidance when searches fail
• Added search scope parameter - Explicit project/global/all scoping for better clarity
• Search performance feedback - Debug information with timing and optimization suggestions

⚡ New Memory Operations

Advanced Query Capabilities

• Bulk memory operations (memory_get_multiple) - Retrieve multiple memories efficiently in one call
• Natural language memory queries (memory_ask) - Ask questions like "Show me all system tray problems in Tauri"
• Search preview/explain functionality (memory_search_preview) - Preview what a search would return before executing

Smart Assistance Features

• Memory tagging suggestions (memory_suggest_tags) - AI-powered tag recommendations based on content analysis
• Enhanced debugging tools - Detailed search performance metrics and query optimization hints

🎯 User Experience Improvements

All improvements were designed based on real user feedback to address the most common pain points:

1. Search reliability - No more failed searches due to special characters
2. Better discoverability - Clear explanations of what went wrong and how to fix it
3. Faster workflows - Bulk operations and natural language queries
4. Smarter organization - Automated tag suggestions for better memory categorization

🛡️ Maintaining Core Principles

• Project isolation remains sacred - Each project maintains its isolated database
• Zero breaking changes - All existing functionality works exactly as before
• Performance focused - New features are optimized to not impact existing speed
• Privacy first - All processing happens locally, no external API calls

📈 Technical Details

• 10 major improvements implemented based on user feedback analysis
