Subject: [PATCH] Release v5.4.0: Skill-Based Search Migration & Progressive
 Disclosure
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Version Bump:

- CLAUDE.md: 5.3.0 → 5.4.0

Breaking Changes:
- MCP search tools removed (replaced with skill-based search)

- Natural language queries replace MCP tool syntax

Technical Changes:

- Added search skill with comprehensive documentation
- Updated all documentation to reflect new architecture
- HTTP API endpoints in worker service

Migration Notes:
