 All notable changes to GBrain will be documented in this file.
 
+## [0.3.0] - 2026-04-08
+
+### Added
+
+- Contract-first architecture: single `operations.ts` defines ~30 shared operations. CLI, MCP, and tools-json all generated from the same source. Zero drift.
+- `OperationError` type with structured error codes (`page_not_found`, `invalid_params`, `embedding_failed`, etc.). Agents can self-correct.
+- `dry_run` parameter on all mutating operations. Agents preview before committing.
+- `importFromContent()` split from `importFile()`. Both share the same chunk+embed+tag pipeline, but `importFromContent` works from strings (used by `put_page`). Wrapped in `engine.transaction()`.
+- Idempotency hash now includes ALL fields (title, type, frontmatter, tags), not just compiled_truth + timeline. Metadata-only edits no longer silently skipped.
+- `get_page` now supports optional `fuzzy: true` for slug resolution. Returns `resolved_slug` so callers know what happened.
+- `query` operation now supports `expand` toggle (default true). Both CLI and MCP get the same control.
+- 10 new operations wired up: `put_raw_data`, `get_raw_data`, `resolve_slugs`, `get_chunks`, `log_ingest`, `get_ingest_log`, `file_list`, `file_upload`, `file_url`.
+- OpenClaw bundle plugin manifest (`openclaw.plugin.json`) with config schema, MCP server config, and skill listing.
+- GitHub Actions CI: test on push/PR, multi-platform release builds (macOS arm64 + Linux x64) on version tags.
+- `gbrain init --non-interactive` flag for plugin mode (accepts config via flags/env vars, no TTY required).
+- Post-upgrade version verification in `gbrain upgrade`.
+- Parity test (`test/parity.test.ts`) verifies structural contract between operations, CLI, and MCP.
+- New `setup` skill replacing `install`: auto-provision Supabase via CLI, AGENTS.md injection, target TTHW < 2 min.
+- E2E test suite against real Postgres+pgvector. 13 realistic fixtures (miniature brain with people, companies, deals, meetings, concepts), 14 test suites covering all operations, search quality benchmarks, idempotency stress tests, schema validation, and full setup journey verification.
+- GitHub Actions E2E workflow: Tier 1 (mechanical) on every PR, Tier 2 (LLM skills via OpenClaw) nightly.
+- `docker-compose.test.yml` and `.env.testing.example` for local E2E development.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Schema loader in `db.ts` broke on PL/pgSQL trigger functions containing semicolons inside `$$` blocks. Replaced per-statement execution with single `conn.unsafe()` call.
+- `traverseGraph` query failed with "could not identify equality operator for type json" when using `SELECT DISTINCT` with `json_agg`. Changed to `jsonb_agg`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `src/mcp/server.ts` rewritten from ~233 to ~80 lines. Tool definitions and dispatch generated from operations[].
+- `src/cli.ts` rewritten. Shared operations auto-registered from operations[]. CLI-only commands (init, upgrade, import, export, files, embed) kept as manual registrations.
+- `tools-json` output now generated FROM operations[]. Third contract surface eliminated.
+- All 7 skills rewritten with tool-agnostic language. Works with both CLI and MCP plugin contexts.
+- File schema: `storage_url` column dropped, `storage_path` is the only identifier. URLs generated on demand via `file_url` operation.
+- Config loading: env vars (`GBRAIN_DATABASE_URL`, `DATABASE_URL`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`) override config file values. Plugin config injected via env vars.
+
+### Removed
+
+- 12 command files migrated to operations.ts: get.ts, put.ts, delete.ts, list.ts, search.ts, query.ts, health.ts, stats.ts, tags.ts, link.ts, timeline.ts, version.ts.
+- `storage_url` column from files table.

+- `src/core/import-file.ts` — importFromFile + importFromContent (chunk + embed + tags)
 - `src/core/sync.ts` — Pure sync functions (manifest parsing, filtering, slug conversion)
 - `src/core/chunkers/` — 3-tier chunking (recursive, semantic, LLM-guided)
 - `src/core/search/` — Hybrid search: vector + keyword + RRF + multi-query expansion + dedup
 - `src/core/embedding.ts` — OpenAI text-embedding-3-large, batch, retry, backoff

-## Prerequisites
-
-- A Supabase account (Pro tier recommended: $25/mo for 8GB DB + 100GB storage)
-- An OpenAI API key (for semantic search embeddings, ~$4-5 for 7,500 pages)
-- A git-backed markdown knowledge base (or start fresh)
-
-## Phase 1: Environment Discovery
-
-Scan the environment to understand what we're working with.
-
-```bash
-# Find all git repos with markdown content
-echo "=== GBrain Environment Discovery ==="
-for dir in /data/* ~/git/* ~/Documents/* 2>/dev/null; do
-  if [ -d "$dir/.git" ]; then

-      fi

-  fi
-done
-echo ""
-echo "=== Discovery Complete ==="
-```
-
-Present findings to the human. Recommend which repos to import.
-
-## Phase 2: Supabase Setup
-
-### Magic Path (zero copy-pastes)
-
-Check if the Supabase CLI is available:
-
-```bash
-which supabase 2>/dev/null || npx supabase --version 2>/dev/null
-```
-
-If available, use the magic path:
-
-1. Tell the human: "I'll set up Supabase for you. Click 'Authorize' when your browser opens."
-2. Run `supabase login` (opens browser for OAuth)
-3. Run `supabase projects create --name gbrain --region us-east-1`
-4. Extract credentials from `supabase projects api-keys`
-5. Proceed to Phase 3 automatically
-
-### Fallback Path (2 copy-pastes)
-
-If the Supabase CLI is not available, tell the human exactly what to do:
-
-1. "Log into Supabase and add a credit card: https://supabase.com/dashboard/account/billing"
-2. "Create a new project: https://supabase.com/dashboard/new/_"
-   - Name: gbrain
-   - Region: closest to you
-   - Generate a strong password
-3. "Go to Project Settings > Database and copy the connection string (URI format)"
-   - Paste it here
-4. "Go to Project Settings > API and copy the service_role key"
-   - Paste it here
-
-That's it. Two copy-pastes. The agent does everything else.
-
-## Phase 3: Initialize GBrain
-
-```bash
-gbrain init \
-  --url "<database_url>" \
-  --repo "<repo_path>"
-```
-
-This runs:
-1. Connection test (SELECT 1)
-2. pgvector extension check (CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector)
-3. Schema migration (idempotent, safe to re-run)
-4. Text import (all .md files, no embeddings yet)
-5. Sync checkpoint (writes git HEAD for seamless gbrain sync)
-
-### First Search Result
-
-After import completes, run a sample query to prove it works:
-
-```bash
-# Query the most recently modified page's topic
-gbrain query "$(ls -t <repo_path>/*.md <repo_path>/**/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs head -5 | grep -i 'title:' | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d ' ')"
-```
-
-Show results to the human immediately. This is the magic moment.
-
-### Start Embeddings
-
-```bash
-gbrain embed --stale &
-```
-
-Embeddings run in background. Keyword search works NOW. Semantic search improves as embeddings complete. Check progress with `gbrain embed --status`.
-
-## Phase 4: Set Up Ongoing Sync
-
-```bash
-# Add to cron (every 5 minutes)
-(crontab -l 2>/dev/null; echo "*/5 * * * * gbrain sync --no-pull 2>&1 | tail -1 >> /tmp/gbrain-sync.log") | crontab -
-```
-
-Or for agents that push to the brain repo, trigger sync after writes:
-```bash
-gbrain sync --no-pull
-```
-
-## Phase 5: Optional File Migration
-
-If the repo has >100MB of binary files:
-
-1. **Tell the human what will happen:**
-   "Your repo has X binary files (Y MB). I can move them to Supabase Storage to slim down git. Files stay in git history permanently. Want me to proceed?"
-
-2. **If approved:**
-   ```bash
-   gbrain health                              # verify everything is connected
-   gbrain files sync <repo>/attachments/      # upload all files
-   gbrain files verify                        # mandatory 100% verification
-   # STOP: ask human for approval before git rm
-   ```
-
-3. **After human approves git rm:**
-   ```bash
-   cd <repo>
-   echo "attachments/" >> .gitignore
-   git rm -r --cached attachments/
-   git commit -m "Move attachments to Supabase Storage"
-   git push
-   ```
-
-## Phase 6: Teach the Agent
-
-Add GBrain rules to AGENTS.md (or equivalent):
-
-```markdown
-## GBrain (Knowledge Search)
-
-GBrain indexes your knowledge base for fast search. Always search before answering
-questions about people, companies, deals, or anything in the brain.
-
-### Commands
-- `gbrain query "search terms"` -- Search the knowledge base (keyword + semantic)
-- `gbrain sync` -- Sync latest changes from git to GBrain
-- `gbrain files upload <path> --page <slug>` -- Upload a file to storage
-- `gbrain health` -- Check GBrain status
-- `gbrain stats` -- Show page count, embedding coverage, last sync
-
-### Rules
-1. **Search the brain first.** Before answering any question about people, companies,
-   deals, meetings, or strategy, run `gbrain query`. Your memory of file contents
-   goes stale; the database doesn't.
-2. **Never commit binaries to git.** Use `gbrain files upload` instead.
-3. **After writing to the brain repo,** trigger `gbrain sync --no-pull` to update
-   the search index immediately.
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-Every error tells you what happened, why, and how to fix it:
-
-| What You See | Why | Fix |
-|---|---|---|
-| Connection refused | Supabase project paused or wrong URL | supabase.com/dashboard > Restore |
-| Password authentication failed | Wrong password | Project Settings > Database > Reset password |
-| pgvector not available | Extension not enabled | Run CREATE EXTENSION vector in SQL Editor |
-| OpenAI key invalid | Expired or wrong key | platform.openai.com/api-keys > Create new |
-| Sync anchor missing | Force push removed the commit | `gbrain sync --full` |
-| No pages found | Query before import | `gbrain import <dir>` first |
-
-## Upgrading
-
-Upgrade depends on how you installed:
-- **bun (standalone or library):** `bun update gbrain`
-- **ClawHub:** `clawhub update gbrain`
-- **Compiled binary:** Download the latest from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain/releases)
-
-After upgrading:
-- Run `gbrain init` again to apply schema migrations (idempotent, safe to re-run)
-- The new `files` table gets created automatically on next init
-- Sync state is preserved across upgrades
-
-## Health Check
-
-Run `gbrain health` at any time to verify all connections:
-
-```
-ok Database: connected
-ok pgvector: extension loaded
-ok Schema: up to date
-ok Sync: last run N min ago
-ok Embeddings: X/Y pages embedded
-```
-
-Every unhealthy line includes WHY and FIX.

+- Auto-provision Supabase via CLI (< 2 min TTHW)
+- Manual fallback with non-interactive init
+- AGENTS.md auto-injection (upgrade-safe)

+# Setup GBrain
+
+Set up GBrain from scratch. Target: working brain in under 2 minutes.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A Supabase account (Pro tier recommended: $25/mo for 8GB DB + 100GB storage)
+- An OpenAI API key (for semantic search embeddings, ~$4-5 for 7,500 pages)
+- A git-backed markdown knowledge base (or start fresh)
+
+## Phase A: Auto-Provision (Supabase CLI)
+
+Check if the Supabase CLI is available. If it is, use the fast path:
+
+1. Tell the user: "I'll set up Supabase for you. Click 'Authorize' when your browser opens."
+2. Run `supabase login` (opens browser for OAuth)
+3. Run `supabase projects create --name gbrain --region us-east-1`
+4. Extract the database connection URL from `supabase projects api-keys`
+5. Initialize gbrain with the connection URL in non-interactive mode
+6. Proceed to Phase C automatically
+
+## Phase B: Manual Fallback
+
+If the Supabase CLI is not available, guide the user:
+
+1. "Log into Supabase and add a credit card: https://supabase.com/dashboard/account/billing"
+2. "Create a new project: https://supabase.com/dashboard/new/_"
+   - Name: gbrain
+   - Region: closest to you
+   - Generate a strong password
+3. "Go to Project Settings > Database and copy the connection string (URI format)"
+   - Paste it here
+4. Initialize gbrain with the provided URL in non-interactive mode
+
+That's it. One copy-paste. The agent does everything else.
+
+## Phase C: First Import
+
+1. **Discover markdown repos.** Scan the environment for git repos with markdown content.
+
+```bash
+echo "=== GBrain Environment Discovery ==="
+for dir in /data/* ~/git/* ~/Documents/* 2>/dev/null; do
+  if [ -d "$dir/.git" ]; then
+    md_count=$(find "$dir" -name "*.md" -not -path "*/node_modules/*" -not -path "*/.git/*" 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
+    if [ "$md_count" -gt 10 ]; then
+      total_size=$(du -sh "$dir" 2>/dev/null | cut -f1)
+      echo "  $dir ($total_size, $md_count .md files)"
+    fi
+  fi
+done
+echo "=== Discovery Complete ==="
+```
+
+2. **Import the best candidate.** Import the recommended directory into gbrain.
+3. **Prove search works.** Search gbrain for a topic from the imported data. Show results immediately.
+4. **Start embeddings.** Refresh stale embeddings in gbrain (runs in background). Keyword search works NOW, semantic search improves as embeddings complete.
+
+## Phase D: AGENTS.md Injection
+
+Auto-inject gbrain instructions into the project's AGENTS.md (or equivalent). Use a delimited managed block that's upgrade-safe:
+
+```markdown
+<!-- gbrain:start -->
+## GBrain (Knowledge Search)
+
+GBrain indexes your knowledge base for fast search. Always search before answering
+questions about people, companies, deals, or anything in the brain.
+
+### How to use
+- Search gbrain for any topic before answering questions
+- After writing new content, sync the repository to gbrain
+- Upload binary files to gbrain storage instead of committing to git
+- Check gbrain health periodically
+
+### Rules
+1. **Search the brain first.** Before answering any question about people, companies,
+   deals, meetings, or strategy, search gbrain. Your memory of file contents goes
+   stale; the database doesn't.
+2. **Never commit binaries to git.** Upload to gbrain file storage instead.
+3. **After writing to the brain repo,** sync to gbrain immediately.
+<!-- gbrain:end -->
+```
+
+## Phase E: Health Check
+
+After setup is complete, check gbrain health. Every dimension should be healthy.
+Report the final state to the user:
+- Page count and statistics
+- Embedding coverage
+- Search verification (run a sample query)
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Every error tells you what happened, why, and how to fix it:
+
+| What You See | Why | Fix |
+|---|---|---|
+| Connection refused | Supabase project paused or wrong URL | supabase.com/dashboard > Restore |
+| Password authentication failed | Wrong password | Project Settings > Database > Reset password |
+| pgvector not available | Extension not enabled | Run CREATE EXTENSION vector in SQL Editor |
+| OpenAI key invalid | Expired or wrong key | platform.openai.com/api-keys > Create new |
+| No pages found | Query before import | Import files into gbrain first |
+
+## Tools Used
+
+- Initialize gbrain (via CLI: gbrain init --non-interactive --url ...)
+- Import files into gbrain (via CLI: gbrain import)
+- Search gbrain (query)
+- Check gbrain health (get_health)
+- Get gbrain statistics (get_stats)

+
+# Compiled Truth
+
+The two-layer page pattern used throughout GBrain. Every page has two distinct
+sections separated by a horizontal rule (`---`):
+
+1. **Compiled truth** (above the line) — The current, canonical understanding of the
+   subject. This section is rewritten and updated as new information arrives. It
+   represents the latest synthesized knowledge, not a historical record.
+
+2. **Timeline** (below the line) — An append-only log of evidence, observations, and
+   events. New entries are added at the bottom. Old entries are never modified or
+   deleted. Each entry is timestamped and captures what was known or observed at that
+   moment.
+
+## Why This Pattern
+
+Traditional note-taking creates a "pile of pages" problem: information about a topic
+is scattered across meeting notes, emails, and documents. Finding the current state
+requires re-reading everything and mentally synthesizing.
+
+Compiled truth solves this by maintaining a living summary that is always current.
+The timeline preserves the evidence trail so you can always trace how understanding
+evolved and verify claims against primary observations.
+
+## Rules
+
+- The compiled truth section is the single source of truth for "what do I currently
+  believe about this topic."
+- When new information contradicts existing compiled truth, update the compiled truth
+  and add a timeline entry explaining the change.
+- Timeline entries are immutable once written. They capture point-in-time observations.
+- The compiled truth section should be readable on its own without needing to read the
+  timeline.
+- Cross-reference other entities by name (e.g., "Sarah Chen" not `[Sarah Chen](...)`)
+  to enable search-based discovery.
+
+## Relationship to RAG
+
+GBrain uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to surface relevant pages during
+queries. The compiled truth pattern means retrieved pages contain pre-synthesized
+knowledge rather than raw fragments. This produces higher quality answers because the
+LLM receives curated context rather than scattered notes.
+
+This is a deliberate design choice: do the synthesis work at write time (when you have
+full context) rather than at read time (when the LLM must guess at connections).
+
+---
+
+## Timeline
+
+### 2025-02-10 — Pattern Formalized
+
+Adopted the compiled truth + timeline pattern after experimenting with several
+knowledge management approaches. Wiki-style pages lost temporal context. Pure
+journaling created information sprawl. The two-layer approach preserves both the
+current understanding and the evidence trail.
+
+### 2025-03-01 — Applied to All Page Types
+
+Extended the pattern to all GBrain page types: people, companies, deals, meetings,
+concepts, projects, and sources. Each type uses the same two-layer structure with
+type-specific frontmatter fields. This consistency enables uniform search and
+retrieval across all knowledge categories.

+
+# Hybrid Search
+
+Hybrid search combines vector similarity search with keyword full-text search to
+deliver results that are both semantically relevant and keyword-precise. GBrain uses
+hybrid search as its core search architecture, merging the two result sets using
+Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF).
+
+## The Problem
+
+Neither vector search nor keyword search alone is sufficient for a personal knowledge
+brain:
+
+- **Vector-only search** finds semantically similar content but can miss pages that
+  contain an exact keyword or phrase. Searching for "NovaMind" might surface pages
+  about AI agents generally rather than the specific NovaMind company page.
+- **Keyword-only search** finds exact matches but misses semantic near-matches.
+  Searching for "autonomous agents" would not find pages that use "AI agents" or
+  "agentic systems" instead.
+
+## How Hybrid Search Works
+
+1. **Vector search** — The query is embedded using OpenAI text-embedding-3-large and
+   compared against stored document embeddings using cosine similarity via pgvector.
+   Returns top-k results ranked by semantic similarity.
+
+2. **Keyword search** — The query is processed as a Postgres tsquery against tsvector
+   indexes on document content. Returns results ranked by ts_rank relevance.
+
+3. **Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF)** — The two ranked result lists are merged using
+   RRF scoring. For each document, the RRF score is calculated as:
+
+   `score = sum(1 / (k + rank_i))` for each result list where the document appears.
+
+   The constant `k` (typically 60) dampens the effect of high rankings in any single
+   list. Documents that appear in both lists get boosted because they receive scores
+   from both.
+
+4. **Multi-query expansion** — GBrain generates multiple search queries from a single
+   user question to improve recall. For example, "Who is Sarah Chen?" might expand to
+   queries about "Sarah Chen founder", "NovaMind CEO", and "YC W25 Sarah".
+
+5. **Deduplication** — Results that appear across multiple expanded queries are
+   deduplicated, keeping the highest-scoring instance.
+
+## Why RRF
+
+Reciprocal Rank Fusion was chosen over other fusion methods (like linear combination
+of normalized scores) because:
+
+- It is score-agnostic: vector cosine similarities and keyword tf-idf scores are on
+  different scales, making direct score combination unreliable
+- It is robust: small changes in individual scores do not dramatically shift the
+  merged ranking
+- It naturally boosts documents that appear in both result lists
+
+## Implementation in GBrain
+
+GBrain implements hybrid search in `src/core/search/` using Postgres as the single
+backend for both search modalities. Embeddings are stored in pgvector columns, and
+full-text search uses native Postgres tsvector/tsquery. This avoids the operational
+complexity of maintaining separate search indices (e.g., Elasticsearch + Pinecone).
+
+---
+
+## Timeline
+
+### 2025-03-28 — Decision to Implement
+
+During the weekly sync, identified clear failure cases with keyword-only search.
+Example: searching "autonomous agents" did not find pages about "AI agents." Decided
+to ship hybrid search with RRF in GBrain v0.3 as the highest priority feature.
+
+### 2025-04-01 — Shipped in v0.3
+
+Hybrid search shipped as part of GBrain v0.3. Initial results show significant
+improvement in recall for semantic queries while maintaining precision for exact
+keyword searches. The RRF fusion with k=60 produces well-balanced rankings across
+diverse query types.

+
+# Retrieval-Augmented Generation
+
+Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique that enhances large language model
+responses by retrieving relevant documents from a knowledge store and including them as
+context in the prompt. Also known in Japanese as 検索拡張生成 (RAG).
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Query embedding** — The user's query is converted into a vector embedding using a
+   model like OpenAI's text-embedding-3-large.
+2. **Retrieval** — The query vector is compared against stored document vectors using
+   similarity search (typically cosine similarity). The top-k most similar documents
+   are retrieved.
+3. **Context stuffing** — Retrieved documents are inserted into the LLM prompt as
+   context, giving the model access to specific, relevant knowledge.
+4. **Generation** — The LLM generates a response grounded in the retrieved context
+   rather than relying solely on its training data.
+
+## Advantages
+
+- Grounds LLM responses in specific, up-to-date knowledge
+- Reduces hallucination by providing factual context
+- Allows knowledge to be updated without retraining the model
+- Scales to large knowledge bases with efficient vector indexing
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Quality depends heavily on retrieval accuracy — if the wrong documents are retrieved,
+  the answer will be wrong or incomplete
+- Pure vector search can miss exact keyword matches (the "vocabulary mismatch" problem)
+- Chunk boundaries can split important context across fragments
+- No synthesis: retrieved chunks are raw fragments, not curated knowledge
+
+## GBrain's Approach
+
+GBrain uses RAG as its core query mechanism but addresses several standard RAG
+limitations through deliberate design choices:
+
+- **Compiled truth** pages mean retrieved content is pre-synthesized knowledge rather
+  than raw note fragments. This is the key differentiator from standard RAG systems.
+- **Hybrid search** combines vector similarity with keyword full-text search using
+  Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF), addressing the vocabulary mismatch problem.
+- **Multi-query expansion** generates multiple search queries from a single user
+  question to improve recall.
+- **Deduplication** ensures the same content is not retrieved multiple times when it
+  matches across different query expansions.
+
+---
+
+## Timeline
+
+### 2025-02-15 — RAG Research
+
+Evaluated standard RAG patterns for GBrain. Identified the core tension: RAG works
+best when retrieved documents are high quality and self-contained, but most note-taking
+systems produce fragmented, partially-overlapping content. This led to the compiled
+truth pattern as a write-time optimization for read-time retrieval quality.
+
+### 2025-03-28 — Hybrid Search Decision
+
+During weekly sync, decided to implement hybrid search (vector + keyword with RRF) for
+GBrain v0.3. Pure vector search was missing exact keyword matches, and pure keyword
+search was missing semantic near-matches. Hybrid search with Reciprocal Rank Fusion
+gives us the best of both approaches.

+# NovaMind — YC W25 Demo Day
+
+Date: March 15, 2025
+Location: YC HQ, San Francisco
+Format: W25 batch Demo Day presentations + 1:1 meetings
+
+## Attendees
+
+- Sarah Chen (NovaMind CEO, presenter)
+- Priya Patel (NovaMind CTO, in audience)
+- Marcus Reid (Threshold Ventures GP)
+- ~200 investors in main audience
+- Full W25 batch presenting
+
+## Summary
+
+Sarah Chen presented NovaMind's autonomous agent platform. The live demo was the
+highlight of the batch: an AI agent completed a 47-step procurement workflow in under
+4 minutes with zero human intervention. Steps included vendor discovery, RFQ
+generation, bid comparison across 5 vendors, approval chain routing, and PO creation.
+
+The agent handled two deliberate failure injections during the demo — a vendor API
+timeout and a budget threshold violation — recovering gracefully both times through
+the supervisor agent re-planning mechanism.
+
+## 1:1 After Presentation
+
+Had a 20-minute 1:1 with Sarah after the main presentations. Key discussion points:
+
+- She described their architecture as "compiled procedures" rather than prompt chains.
+  Agents learn reusable sub-routines from successful task completions.
+- The multi-agent coordination layer was designed by Priya Patel based on her Stanford
+  PhD research on emergent communication.
+- Current team is 4 people. Looking to hire 3-4 senior engineers post-fundraise.
+- Go-to-market is vertical-first: procurement and supply chain initially.
+
+## Key Decisions
+
+- Follow up with Sarah for a deeper technical dive on the agent architecture.
+- Intro Marcus Reid (Threshold) to Sarah if he has not already connected — he focuses
+  on AI/ML investments and this is squarely in his thesis.
+- Track NovaMind as a potential portfolio company or collaboration partner.
+
+## Action Items
+
+- [ ] Schedule follow-up call with Sarah Chen for architecture deep dive
+- [ ] Send Marcus Reid intro email if needed
+- [ ] Research procurement automation market size for context
+- [ ] Revisit agent memory architecture discussion (ran out of time)
+
+---
+
+## Timeline
+
+### 2025-03-15 — Event Notes
+
+Arrived at YC HQ at 9am. NovaMind presented in the second block around 10:30am. Sarah
+was polished and the demo worked flawlessly. The failure injection moments drew audible
+reactions from the audience when the agent recovered. Marcus Reid approached Sarah
+immediately after the presentations. Had my 1:1 around 11:15am in the side room. Sarah
+was energetic but focused — she clearly had a plan and knew exactly what she wanted
+from the fundraise.

+# Weekly Sync — March 28, 2025
+
+Date: March 28, 2025
+Format: Internal weekly sync
+Duration: 45 minutes
+
+## Topics Covered
+
+### NovaMind Follow-Up
+
+Sarah Chen confirmed the seed round closed today. $4M led by Threshold Ventures with
+Marcus Reid taking a board seat. She is moving to hiring mode immediately. Discussed
+potential introductions to senior engineers in our network with distributed systems
+backgrounds.
+
+NovaMind is on track for Q3 2025 launch with 2 enterprise design partners already
+signed in procurement vertical. The 94% task completion rate from Demo Day has held up
+in continued testing.
+
+### Threshold Ventures Partnership
+
+Marcus Reid has been responsive and collaborative. He expressed interest in seeing
+other AI infrastructure companies. Threshold's thesis around agent-native enterprise
+software aligns well with several companies in the current YC batch and recent alumni.
+
+### GBrain Search Quality
+
+Current keyword-only search is missing relevant results when queries use different
+terminology than stored documents. Example: searching "autonomous agents" does not
+surface pages about "AI agents" or "agentic systems." Need semantic similarity via
+vector embeddings.
+
+Discussed hybrid search approach: combine vector similarity search with keyword
+full-text search using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF). This would handle both exact
+keyword matches and semantic near-matches. Priya Patel's NovaMind architecture is a
+good case study — searching for "multi-agent coordination" should surface her page
+even if those exact words are not in every mention.
+
+## Key Decisions
+
+- Ship hybrid search in GBrain v0.3. This is the highest priority feature.
+- Use pgvector for embeddings, stored alongside content in Postgres.
+- Adopt Reciprocal Rank Fusion to merge vector and keyword result sets.
+- Continue tracking NovaMind progress for potential deeper engagement.
+
+## Action Items
+
+- [ ] Implement pgvector extension and embedding storage in GBrain schema
+- [ ] Build hybrid search with RRF scoring in GBrain v0.3
+- [x] Follow up with Sarah Chen on seed round status — confirmed closed
+- [ ] Send Marcus Reid list of AI infrastructure companies from recent batches
+- [ ] Write compiled-truth page for hybrid search concept
+- [ ] Schedule technical deep dive with Priya Patel on multi-agent systems
+
+---
+
+## Timeline
+
+### 2025-03-28 — Meeting Notes
+
+Productive sync. The GBrain search discussion was the most substantive — we identified
+clear failure cases with keyword-only search and agreed on the hybrid approach. The
+NovaMind seed closing is good news and validates the W25 batch quality. Marcus Reid
+continues to be a strong partner in the AI investment ecosystem. Next weekly sync
+scheduled for April 4.

+# Sarah Chen
+
+Founder and CEO of NovaMind (YC W25). Building autonomous AI agents for enterprise
+workflow automation. Previously ML engineer at Anthropic (2022-2024), where she worked
+on tool-use and agentic behaviors in large language models. Stanford CS class of 2020.
+
+Met Sarah at YC W25 Demo Day on March 15, 2025. She gave one of the strongest demos
+of the batch: an agent that completed a 47-step procurement workflow end-to-end with
+zero human intervention. She is sharp, deeply technical, and has real conviction about
+the agent-native enterprise stack replacing SaaS dashboards.
+
+## Key People
+
+- Priya Patel is CTO and co-founder. They overlapped at Stanford.
+- Marcus Reid at Threshold Ventures led their seed round.
+
+## Beliefs
+
+- Enterprise software will be replaced by fleets of task-specific agents within 5 years.
+- The bottleneck is not model capability but reliable multi-step execution and error recovery.
+- Agent frameworks that force developers to think in graphs (nodes/edges) are the wrong abstraction. Natural language task descriptions with learned sub-routines are the path.
+- Vertical-first go-to-market beats horizontal platform plays for agents.
+
+## Open Threads
+
+- Revisit her thoughts on agent memory architecture. She hinted at something novel during the 1:1 after Demo Day but we ran out of time.
+- She is looking for design partners in procurement and supply chain. Could intro to relevant YC alumni.
+- Follow up on potential collab between NovaMind agent infra and GBrain knowledge layer.
+

+
+## Timeline
+
+### 2025-03-15 — YC W25 Demo Day
+
+Met Sarah at Demo Day. NovaMind demo was standout of the batch. The agent completed a
+47-step procurement workflow autonomously: vendor discovery, RFQ generation, bid
+comparison, approval routing, PO creation. Had a 1:1 conversation after the main
+presentations. She described their agent memory system as "compiled procedures" rather
+than prompt chains. Impressive technical depth for a CEO.
+
+### 2025-03-22 — Follow-up Call
+
+30-minute call to dig deeper on NovaMind architecture. Sarah walked through their
+execution engine: agents decompose tasks into sub-procedures, each with rollback
+semantics. Error recovery is handled by a supervisor agent that can re-plan. She
+mentioned Priya Patel (CTO) designed the multi-agent coordination layer based on her
+Google Brain research on emergent communication.
+
+### 2025-03-28 — Seed Round Closed
+
+Sarah confirmed NovaMind closed their $4M seed round led by Threshold Ventures with
+Marcus Reid on the board. Angels include several YC partners. She plans to use the
+capital primarily for hiring: 3 senior engineers and 1 design partner lead. Launch
+target is Q3 2025 with 2 enterprise design partners already signed.

+# GBrain
+
+Personal knowledge brain built on Postgres with pgvector. A managed Supabase instance
+provides the database layer. GBrain stores, searches, and retrieves personal knowledge
+using a hybrid RAG architecture.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- **Contract-first design** — `src/core/operations.ts` defines ~30 shared operations.
+  Both the CLI and the MCP server are generated from this single source of truth.
+  Adding a new operation means defining it once and getting both interfaces for free.
+- **Postgres-native** — All data lives in Postgres. Embeddings are stored using
+  pgvector. Full-text search uses Postgres tsvector/tsquery. No external search
+  services required.
+- **Hybrid search** — Combines vector similarity search with keyword full-text search
+  using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF). This handles both exact keyword matches and
+  semantic near-matches. Multi-query expansion and deduplication further improve
+  recall and precision.
+- **Compiled truth pages** — All knowledge pages use the two-layer compiled truth +
+  timeline format. This means retrieved content is pre-synthesized rather than raw
+  note fragments, producing higher quality RAG responses.
+
+## Key Components
+
+- Pluggable engine interface (BrainEngine) with Postgres + pgvector implementation
+- 3-tier chunking: recursive, semantic, and LLM-guided
+- OpenAI text-embedding-3-large for vector embeddings with batch processing and retry
+- Skills system: fat markdown files that work in both CLI and plugin contexts
+- MCP stdio server for integration with Claude and other LLM tools
+
+## Current Status
+
+v0.3 shipped with hybrid search, contract-first architecture, and the ClawHub bundle
+plugin. Active development continues on search quality improvements and new skills.
+
+## Retrieval-Augmented Generation
+
+GBrain uses RAG as its core query mechanism. The compiled truth pattern is a deliberate
+alternative to standard RAG's fragment-retrieval approach: by maintaining pre-synthesized
+pages, retrieved context is higher quality and more coherent than raw chunks.
+
+---
+
+## Timeline
+
+### 2025-02-01 — Project Started
+
+Initial implementation with keyword-only search. Postgres + Supabase backend. Basic
+CLI for import and query operations.
+
+### 2025-03-01 — Contract-First Refactor
+
+Refactored to contract-first architecture. Operations defined in a single source file,
+with CLI and MCP server both generated from the same definitions. This eliminated
+drift between the two interfaces and simplified adding new operations.
+
+### 2025-03-28 — Hybrid Search Decision
+
+Weekly sync decision to ship hybrid search in v0.3. Keyword-only search was missing
+relevant results when queries used different terminology than stored documents.
+Adopted pgvector for embeddings and Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) for merging vector
+and keyword result sets.
+
+### 2025-04-01 — v0.3 Shipped
+
+Released v0.3 with hybrid search, ClawHub bundle plugin, and several new skills.
+Contract-first parity between CLI, MCP, and tools-json verified by automated tests.
