v3.6.10

Fixed

• Knowledge recall blocks all agents for 58s — Embedding engine loading (ONNX model ~25MB) no longer blocks recall. New try_shared_engine() returns instantly if model isn't loaded yet; auto/hybrid mode uses non-blocking path. Only explicit mode=semantic may trigger model load. Retrieval signal persistence moved to background thread (save_knowledge_deferred) so 436KB+ JSON writes don't stall the MCP thread (#ReDev1L report)
• start_line=1 forces unnecessary disk re-reads (#253) — Clients like opencode that always send start_line=1 no longer trigger mode override to lines:1-999999 + fresh=true. start_line=1 is now correctly treated as a no-op since line 1 is the default. Only start_line > 1 activates the lines-mode override
• Git write-commands incorrectly compressed — git commit, git push, git pull, git merge, git rebase, git cherry-pick, git tag, git reset are now classified as verbatim (zero compression). Prevents terse engine from abbreviating subcommands in output that AI agents may re-use (daviddatu_ report)
• PowerShell command wrapping — Single full-command strings (e.g. git commit -m "...") are no longer incorrectly wrapped in & '...' quotes on PowerShell, which caused "executable not found" errors
• Terse dictionary safety — Removed git subcommand abbreviations (commit→cmt, branch→br, checkout→co, merge→mrg, rebase→rb, stash→st) from the GIT dictionary to prevent output corruption
