Synaptic v1.4.0

Turn your daily work into a brain your agent can actually use. Plain files. Zero runtime. Any agent.

The biggest Synaptic release yet. If you're on a bare v1.0, it all arrives in one clean /synaptic-upgrade
— additive, no schema change, nothing breaks — and your brain gets a lot more capable.


🌐 One brain, wherever you work

  • Keep your brain scoped to a single project, or let it follow you across every folder — you choose, just by where it's wired.
  • Move a project brain to global (or back) — guided, crash-safe, byte-for-byte, with automatic rollback if anything looks off.
  • Every init / upgrade now detects how your brain is wired and fixes it — no more "works in this folder, invisible in the next."

⚡ Value in 10 minutes

  • Day-1 walkthrough: empty brain → first note → first retrieval → your first "if I vanished tomorrow, here's everything" handover. Ten minutes, no jargon.
  • /synaptic-handover: a new-joiner or vacation brief straight from the brain, on demand — what it is, the key decisions, the open threads, where to look. The knowledge tax, handled.
  • Commands now show up in your agent's / menu, with descriptions.
  • A path for non-developers — managers and POs get the value without touching a terminal.

🎯 Capture you can trust

  • A structured session protocol — Goal · Discoveries · Done · Next · Files. Signal, not a wall of text.
  • A "did capture actually fire?" audit that catches silently-dead hooks — so you never open your brain to an empty journal.

🧭 Know what's alive — and what to trust

  • lifecycle (project · area · resource · dormant) + status (active · stale · archived): two dials, one grep, instant answers to "what's live right now?" and "can I trust this?" Archive, don't delete.

🕸️ See your brain

  • A real interactive, force-directed graph — zoom, filter, search, expand. Not a static blob.
  • God-node & surprising-edge audits — the over-connected hubs, and the links that shouldn't exist.

🛡️ Governance, in the box

  • A crisp local-vs-remote data boundary (code stays 100% local; prose goes to your host LLM) — drop-in text for regulated environments.

The one thing that never changes

It's just files. Zero runtime. Any agent. Git-diffable. Portable. Yours.
No daemon, no lock-in, no gigabyte download — works offline, works air-gapped, works with whatever agent you use next year.

What's next

Retrieval is getting a turbo — faster search now, semantic when you want it. Opt-in, local, and your files
stay the source of truth. Alongside it, we're building toward a brain that gets better with use, not just
bigger. It'll always be just files underneath — and the hints are already in the repo if you want to dig.
