v1.8.0 - Sprint SOW-200 Cognitive Enhancements

🧠 Muse Memory v1.8.0 — Sprint SOW-200 Cognitive Enhancements

🚀 What's New in v1.8.0:

• SOW-201: Live Runtime File & Symbol Verification Gate: Instant sub-millisecond CPU disk check verifying referenced code files in affected_paths with STRONG, WEAK, and STALE trust verdicts.
• SOW-202: Deterministic Relevance Cutoff Gate: Hard relevance score cutoff (Score >= 0.45) preventing weakly-related memories from bloating LLM prompt windows and saving 500–2,000 prompt tokens on unrelated queries.
• SOW-203: Git Code-Drift Scanner (memory drift / memory check CLI & memory_drift MCP tool): High-speed Git workspace scanner detecting modified or deleted code files and AST symbols, flagging drifted memories for re-verification or supersession.
• SOW-204: Gradient-Free Hebbian Co-Activation Plasticity: Associative synaptic link reinforcement incrementing edge weights (+0.05) when concepts are co-retrieved or confirmed together, enabling natural concept clustering with zero resident daemons.
• SOW-205: Semantic Memory Prompt Compression (memory compress CLI & memory_compress MCP tool): Lossless prompt compression stripping redundant Markdown whitespace and verbose headers, reducing prompt context token usage by 30–40%.
• 4-Phase Sprint & Roadmap Operating Lifecycle: Structured sprint pipeline (Requested ➔ Planned ➔ In Progress ➔ Done) with top-level Table of Contents and collapsible Roadmap board in README.md.

🧪 Verification:

• bun test: 315 passing tests across 56 test files (1282 assertions).
• tsc --noEmit: 0 static type errors.
• bun run build: Clean distribution bundle (dist/index.js).
