* feat: Add batch fetching for observations and update documentation
- Implemented a new endpoint for fetching multiple observations by IDs in a single request.
- Updated the DataRoutes to include a POST /api/observations/batch endpoint.
- Enhanced SKILL.md documentation to reflect changes in the search process and batch fetching capabilities.
- Increased the default limit for search results from 5 to 40 for better usability.
* feat!: Fix timeline parameter passing with SearchManager alignment
BREAKING CHANGE: Timeline MCP tools now use standardized parameter names
- anchor_id → anchor
- before → depth_before
- after → depth_after
- obs_type → type (timeline tool only)
Fixes timeline endpoint failures caused by parameter name mismatch between
MCP layer and SearchManager. Adds new SessionStore methods for fetching
prompts and session summaries by ID.

* docs: reframe timeline parameter fix as bug fix, not breaking change
The timeline tools were completely broken due to parameter name mismatch.
There's nothing to migrate from since the old parameters never worked.

- Enhanced formatting in FormattingService.ts for better output readability.
- Adjusted SearchManager.ts to improve result headers and removed unnecessary search tips from combined text.
* Refactor FormattingService and SearchManager for table-based output
- Updated FormattingService to format search results as tables, including methods for formatting observations, sessions, and user prompts.
- Removed JSON format handling from SearchManager and streamlined result formatting to consistently use table format.
- Enhanced readability and consistency in search tips and formatting logic.
- Introduced token estimation for observations and improved time formatting.
* refactor: update documentation and API references for version bump and search functionalities

* feat: unify timeline formatting across search and context services
Extract shared timeline formatting utilities into reusable module to align
MCP search output format with context-generator's date/file-grouped format.
Changes:
- Create src/shared/timeline-formatting.ts with reusable utilities
(parseJsonArray, formatDateTime, formatTime, formatDate, toRelativePath,
extractFirstFile, groupByDate)
- Refactor context-generator.ts to use shared utilities
- Update SearchManager.search() to use date/file grouping
- Add search-specific row formatters to FormattingService
- Fix timeline methods to extract actual file paths from metadata
instead of hardcoding 'General'
- Remove Work column from search output (kept in context output)
Result: Consistent date/file-grouped markdown formatting across both
systems while maintaining their different column requirements.

* refactor: remove redundant legend from search output
Remove legend from search/timeline results since it's already shown
in SessionStart context. Saves ~30 tokens per search result.

* Refactor session summary rendering to remove links
- Removed link generation for session summaries in context generation and search manager.
- Updated output formatting to exclude links while maintaining the session summary structure.
- Adjusted related components in TimelineService to ensure consistency across the application.
* fix: move skillPath declaration outside try block to fix scoping bug
The skillPath variable was declared inside the try block but referenced
in the catch block for error logging. Since const is block-scoped, this
would cause a ReferenceError when the error handler executes.
Moved skillPath declaration before the try block so it's accessible in
both try and catch scopes.

Removed the process.type = 'renderer' workaround that was causing libuv
assertion failures on Windows. This hack was attempting to hide console
windows but resulted in crashes when process.title was accessed.
Prioritizing stability over cosmetics - console windows may briefly appear
on Windows until the MCP SDK provides proper window hiding support.
