 # Changelog
 
+## v1.6.0 — Onboarding + Identity (2026-04-10)
+
+### Added
+- **Interactive onboarding** (`engraph init`) — polished CLI with welcome banner, vault scan checkmarks, identity prompts via dialoguer, progress bars, actionable next steps
+- **Agent onboarding** — `engraph init --detect --json` for vault inspection, `--json` for non-interactive apply. Two-phase detect → apply flow for AI agents.
+- **`identity` MCP tool + CLI + HTTP** — returns compact L0/L1 identity block (~170 tokens) for AI session context
+- **`setup` MCP tool + HTTP** — first-time setup from inside an MCP session (detect/apply modes)
+- **`identity_facts` table** — SQLite storage for L0 (static identity) and L1 (dynamic context) facts
+- **L1 auto-extraction** — active projects, key people, current focus, OOO status, blocking items extracted during `engraph index`
+- **`engraph identity --refresh`** — re-extract L1 facts without full reindex
+- **`[identity]` config section** — name, role, vault_purpose in config.toml
+- **`[memory]` config section** — feature flags for identity/timeline/mining

+### Changed
+- MCP tools: 23 → 25

@@ -32,6 +32,8 @@ Single binary with 26 modules behind a lib crate:
 - `indexer.rs` — orchestrates vault walking (via `ignore` crate for `.gitignore` support), diffing, chunking, embedding, writes to store + sqlite-vec + FTS5, vault graph edge building (wikilinks + people detection), and folder centroid computation. Exposes `index_file`, `remove_file`, `rename_file` as public per-file functions. `run_index_shared` accepts external store/embedder for watcher FullRescan. Dimension migration on model change.
 - `temporal.rs` — temporal search lane. Extracts note dates from frontmatter `date:` field or `YYYY-MM-DD` filename patterns. Heuristic date parsing for natural language ("today", "yesterday", "last week", "this month", "recent", month names, ISO dates, date ranges). Smooth decay scoring for files near but outside target date range. Provides `extract_note_date()` for indexing and `score_temporal()` + `parse_date_range_heuristic()` for search
 - `search.rs` — hybrid search orchestrator. `search_with_intelligence()` runs the full pipeline: orchestrate (intent + expansions) → 5-lane RRF retrieval (semantic + FTS5 + graph + reranker + temporal) per expansion → two-pass RRF fusion. `search_internal()` is a thin wrapper without intelligence models. Adaptive lane weights per query intent including temporal (1.5 weight for time-aware queries). Results display normalized confidence percentages (0-100%) instead of raw RRF scores.
+- `identity.rs` — L1 extraction engine: active projects, key people, current focus, OOO, blocking. `format_identity_block()` for compact session context. `extract_l1_facts()` called after indexing.
+- `onboarding.rs` — Interactive CLI UX: welcome banner, vault scan, identity prompts (dialoguer), agent mode (--detect --json, --json). `run_interactive()`, `run_detect_json()`, `run_apply_json()`.
 
 `main.rs` is a thin clap CLI (async via `#[tokio::main]`). Subcommands: `index` (with progress bar), `search` (with `--explain`, loads intelligence models when enabled), `status` (shows intelligence state + date coverage stats), `clear`, `init` (intelligence onboarding prompt, detects Obsidian CLI + AI agents), `configure` (`--enable-intelligence`, `--disable-intelligence`, `--model`, `--obsidian-cli`, `--no-obsidian-cli`, `--agent`, `--add-api-key`, `--list-api-keys`, `--revoke-api-key`, `--setup-chatgpt`), `models`, `graph` (show/stats), `context` (read/list/vault-map/who/project/topic), `write` (create/append/update-metadata/move/edit/rewrite/edit-frontmatter/delete), `migrate` (para with `--preview`/`--apply`/`--undo` for PARA vault restructuring), `serve` (MCP stdio server with file watcher + intelligence + optional `--http`/`--port`/`--host`/`--no-auth` for HTTP REST API).

 Plain vector search treats your notes as isolated documents. But knowledge isn't flat — your notes link to each other, share tags, reference the same people and projects. engraph understands these connections.
 
 - **5-lane hybrid search** — semantic embeddings + BM25 full-text + graph expansion + cross-encoder reranking + temporal scoring, fused via [Reciprocal Rank Fusion](https://plg.uwaterloo.ca/~gvcormac/cormacksigir09-rrf.pdf). An LLM orchestrator classifies queries and adapts lane weights per intent. Time-aware queries like "what happened last week" or "March 2026 notes" activate the temporal lane automatically.

 - **Section-level editing** — AI agents can read, replace, prepend, or append to specific sections by heading. Full note rewriting with frontmatter preservation. Granular frontmatter mutations (set/remove fields, add/remove tags and aliases).
 - **Vault health diagnostics** — detect orphan notes, broken wikilinks, stale content, and tag hygiene issues. Available as MCP tool and CLI command.
 - **Obsidian CLI integration** — auto-detects running Obsidian and delegates compatible operations. Circuit breaker (Closed/Degraded/Open) ensures graceful fallback.
