$npm install -g @siddharthakatiyar/contextos@latest
View on GitHub ↗Added
- -Background Daemon Indexing: ContextOS now spawns a non-blocking daemon on `contextos init`. Massive repositories (50,000+ files) are now indexed seamlessly in the background without blocking your CLI or editor.
- -Local SQLite Architecture: Migrated fully away from Redis & Qdrant to a zero-dependency local SQLite architecture using FTS5 (BM25 ranking) and recursive Graph BFS (relationship expansion).
- -Retrieval Benchmarks: Added 6 new framework-specific retrieval benchmarks (`nextjs-rsc-boundaries`, `express-auth-routing`, etc.) which achieved 100% recall.
- -Hybrid Embedding Fusion: Optionally injects embeddings when keyword confidence is low (enabled via `embeddingsRetrieval: true`).
- -Update Notifier: The CLI now notifies you in the background when a new release is available on npm.
Changed
- -`contextos init` now returns instantly while indexing continues in the background. Check progress via `contextos status`.
- -MCP tools no longer require a running daemon/server to execute local retrieval requests.
Removed
- -Removed Redis caching and Qdrant vector database requirements. ContextOS is now 100% zero-dependency.
