Release v0.6.0 — First-Time UX Redesign · Fozikio/cortex-engine

What's new

The install → init → serve flow is redesigned for clarity, security, and personality.

Platform-aware config — generated .mcp.json detects Windows and adds the cmd /c wrapper automatically. Version-pinned to prevent silent upgrades.
Init redesign — clean diamond-marker output showing store, embeddings, tools, hooks, and safety rules at a glance.
Serve startup feedback — shows version, namespace, memory count, and ready status on every start. You see what the agent currently knows.
Embedding download warning — first-time 23MB model download now shows progress instead of hanging silently.
Contextual error messages — missing config, locked store, and network failures get clear guidance instead of stack traces.
fozikio wander — new CLI command that walks through the memory graph, showing semantic connections between memories. A window into how the engine links concepts.

Server version now reads from package.json instead of hardcoded 0.1.0
Bundled skills consolidated: ships cortex-memory (was split across cortex-query + cortex-review)
Generated README rewritten — teaches tools at a glance with personality

npm install cortex-engine@0.6.0
