🎉 Release v1.6.5 — Wiki Output Language Fix + Cumulative Quality Update (v1.6.2–v1.6.5)

[green-dalii]

Hi everyone! I'm excited to announce the release of v1.6.5, which fixes a critical language issue and includes all quality improvements from v1.6.2 through v1.6.5.

🐛 Major Fix: Wiki Output Language

The problem: When UI language was set to Chinese and Wiki output language was set to English, generated entities/concepts still appeared in Chinese.
This affected users who wanted Wiki content in a different language than their UI.

Root cause: LLM prompts contained Chinese instruction text, and LLMs prioritize user-prompt language signals over system-prompt directives.

The fix: All LLM-facing prompts are now in English, following the standard training pattern where English meta-instructions correctly govern
target-language output. A new "Wiki Output Language" setting (8 languages + custom input) is now independent of the UI language.

✨ Cumulative Improvements (v1.6.2–v1.6.5)

This release also bundles all quality updates since v1.6.1:

• Iterative batch extraction — Long sources (papers, transcripts) now extract all entities/concepts in batches of 20, eliminating the max_tokens
• Extraction granularity control — Fine / Standard / Coarse with cost labeling
• Adaptive batch size — Auto-shrinks when response approaches token limit
• Anthropic prompt caching — Static prefix cached for faster batch processing
• Dual-layer JSON parsing — Robust handling of malformed LLM responses
• Entity extraction balance — Low-frequency but important entities no longer skipped
• Ingestion report — Shows elapsed time + guidance for failed items
• Removed "artifact" type — Too vague, produced generic pages

📦 Installation

Manual installation:

1. Download main.js, manifest.json, styles.css from the v1.6.5 release
2. Create folder llm-wiki inside <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/
3. Copy the 3 files into that folder
4. Enable in Settings → Community plugins
5. Configure LLM provider + select Wiki output language

For existing users: Your settings are preserved. If you previously relied on UI language for Wiki content, you'll see a new "Wiki Output Language"
dropdown — just select your desired language.

🗺️ What's Next

Current development focus is on v1.7.0 — Conversational Ingest (Karpathy-aligned interactive wizard). The main branch (v1.2.0) is pending Obsidian human
review, and all new development continues on the feature/schema-auto-maintain branch.
