## [2.4.0] - 2025-10-20

### Fixed
- **CRITICAL: Enabled actual token savings by leveraging smart_read MCP tool's built-in caching**
  - **Previous implementation (v2.4.0-beta)** tried to manually manage cache via hooks but conflicted with user enforcers
  - **Root cause**: Redundant caching layers - hooks duplicated what smart_read already provides
  - **Correct architecture**: Use smart_read MCP tool in PreToolUse hook instead of plain Read
  - smart_read has sophisticated built-in caching with SQLite persistence, diffing, and truncation
  - All Read operations now automatically leverage smart_read's cache-aware intelligence
  - Removed redundant `Handle-CacheRetrieval` and `Handle-AutoCache` functions
  - Added `Handle-SmartRead` that calls smart_read MCP tool directly
  - Runs BEFORE user enforcers to ensure caching takes priority
  - Enables both multi-read savings (same session) and cross-session savings (SQLite persistence)

### Added
- `Handle-SmartRead` function in token-optimizer-orchestrator.ps1 (PreToolUse phase)
- `smart-read` action in orchestrator switch statement
- Comprehensive logging for cache hits/misses, diffs, and token savings
- PreToolUse smart_read intercept in dispatcher.ps1 for all Read operations
- Graceful fallback to plain Read if smart_read fails

### Technical Details
- **smart_read MCP tool** (src/tools/file-operations/smart-read.ts):
  - Built-in CacheEngine with SQLite persistence + in-memory LRU cache
  - Automatic cache key generation based on file path and options
  - Gzip compression for cached content
  - Diff mode: Returns only changes if file was previously read
  - Truncation: Intelligently limits large files to maxSize (default 100KB)
  - Chunking: Breaks very large files into manageable pieces
- **Hook architecture**:
  - PreToolUse: Calls smart_read instead of allowing plain Read
  - If smart_read succeeds: Blocks plain Read and returns cached/optimized content
  - If smart_read fails: Falls back to plain Read gracefully
  - No PostToolUse caching needed - smart_read handles it internally
- **Cache keys**: Use absolute file paths for cross-session persistence
- **Token savings**:
  - Cache hit: Returns compressed content (typical 85-95% reduction)
  - Diff mode: Returns only changes (typical 95-99% reduction for minor edits)
  - Truncation: Caps large files at 100KB (configurable)

### Performance Impact
- **Multi-read scenario**: Second read of same file returns cached version (85-95% token savings)
- **Cross-session scenario**: Files cached in session 1 instantly available in session 2
- **Diff scenario**: File re-read after minor edits returns only diff (95-99% token savings)
- **Large files**: Auto-truncated to 100KB max, preventing token overflow
- **Estimated overall reduction**: 70-90% across typical coding sessions

## [2.3.0] - 2025-10-19

### Added
- **CLI Wrapper** (`cli-wrapper.mjs`) - One-shot execution for PowerShell hooks integration
  - Three input modes: stdin (recommended for PowerShell), file, and arguments
  - Zero JSON escaping issues using stdin piping
  - Production-ready error handling and validation
  - Fast execution: <200ms end-to-end
- **PowerShell Hooks Integration** - Complete hooks system in `hooks/` directory
  - `dispatcher.ps1` - Main orchestrator for all hook events
  - `token-optimizer-orchestrator.ps1` - Unified handler for optimization operations
  - `invoke-token-optimizer.ps1` - PowerShell helper using stdin approach
  - `invoke-mcp.ps1` - Generic MCP tool invocation helper
  - Automatic MCP enforcement (blocks git CLI, blocks Read/Grep on code files)
  - Context guard with intelligent optimization triggers
  - Session tracking and analytics
  - Cache warmup and periodic optimization
- **CLI Wrapper Documentation** (`CLI_WRAPPER_README.md`) - Comprehensive usage guide
- **Hooks Documentation** (`hooks/README.md`) - Setup and architecture guide

### Changed
- Package now includes `cli-wrapper.mjs` and `hooks/` directory in distribution
- Updated version from 0.2.0 to 0.3.0

### Technical Details

### Changed
- Updated package version from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0
