v0.11.4

Added

• symbol edit workflows: Added first-class symbol-scoped edit preview/apply support, AST-backed edit operations, schema validation, symbol edit documentation, and integration/unit coverage for MCP and workflow use.
• search/file edit windows: Added plan-bound preview/source windows and fuller diff snippets for search edit plans so agents can inspect only the gated source needed for a planned edit.
• SDL enforcement and client init: Expanded sdl-mcp init enforcement asset generation for Codex/Claude-style client templates, refreshed SDL.md/template guidance, and added tests for generated hook/template behavior.
• predictive prefetch policy: Added outcome-trained predictive context policy storage, LadybugDB persistence/migration for prefetch outcomes, safe-mode suppression/boost metrics, startup prefetch wiring, and observability UI/status reporting.
• runtime and tool diagnostics: Added deferred runtime work state, compact/minimal runtime output paths, context raw-token baselines, tool-call token-savings telemetry, and additional status/health diagnostics.
• specialized semantic embeddings: Added semantic embedding model planning with semantic.embeddingProfile, symbolEmbeddingModels, and fileSummaryEmbeddingModels, plus tests and docs for specialized Symbol/FileSummary model lanes.

Changed

• semantic indexing defaults: Default semantic indexing now uses specialized lanes: Jina for Symbol embeddings and Nomic for FileSummary embeddings; max-recall preserves the previous both-models-on-both-lanes behavior.
• SDL agent workflows: Smoothed sdl.context, sdl.workflow, action discovery, manual generation, workflow truncation, and response-handle behavior so agents get human-readable guidance and machine-useful fields without internal noise.
• tool gateway contracts: Updated gateway schemas, tool descriptors, compact schema tests, action catalog/manual output, and generated tool inventory to match current sdl.file, runtime, memory, transform, and response-handle contracts.
• indexing and status behavior: Let read-only status workflows bypass the foreground dispatch limiter, kept delegated indexing on the server, preserved reindex progress model metadata, and refined derived-refresh finalization.
• documentation: Refreshed README, SDL workflow docs/templates, configuration/reference pages, semantic docs, token-savings, runtime, search-edit, file-read, tool-gateway, and troubleshooting documentation for the new tool surfaces and operational controls.
• release/package metadata: Synchronized root/native/native-platform versions and lockfile entries for 0.11.4.

Fixed

• config discovery: Fixed package/repo-root config resolution so CI, tests, benchmark guardrails, and packaged defaults read config/sdlmcp.config.json before falling back to the global config path.
• symbol edit stability: Stabilized symbol edit CI expectations and AST edit handling, including coverage for schema validation and edit application paths.
• workflow/tool friction: Fixed multiple SDL-MCP usability issues around action search pagination, manual signatures, disabled memory action visibility, workflow response handles, transform return shapes, and file-window plan handles.
• derived state recovery: Re-enqueued persisted stale derived-state refresh work on server startup so one-shot CLI indexing deferrals recover when SDL-MCP next serves the repo.
• shutdown cleanup: Increased the graceful shutdown watchdog, bounded audit flush waits, parallelized read-connection drains, skipped final checkpoints after write-drain timeout, and named the active cleanup step in forced-exit logs.
• LadybugDB/runtime robustness: Hardened LadybugDB cleanup and runtime execution paths, including deferred work state, checkpoint-service behavior, and diagnostics around long-running indexing.
• security audit cleanup: Cleared the brace-expansion audit finding and restored build script type checking.
• observability accuracy: Preserved watcher/reindex progress metadata and corrected sdl.context token-savings reporting from returned evidence.
• CI/test guardrails: Updated watcher-health fixtures, config-path expectations, release lockfile coverage, and related CI cache/test checks.

Internal

• Removed the obsolete tool-call performance investigation plan document.
• Added broad regression coverage across symbol edit, search edit, file gateway, workflow executor/parser/truncation, prefetch outcomes, config paths, runtime execution, dispatch limiting, derived refresh, shutdown, and observability.
