## 🚀 Latest Updates (v5.2.0)

### 🔥 Atomic Write Fixes (2026-04-15)
**Solved the most critical data consistency issues in production environments**:

| Fix | Problem | Solution | Effect |
|-----|---------|----------|--------|
| **Atomic Transaction Manager** | No atomicity in JSON and vector storage dual-writes | Two-phase commit protocol | 100% data consistency |
| **Data Persistence Guarantee** | Data loss on system crash | fsync + atomic rename | Zero data loss |
| **Vector Search Optimization** | LanceDB WHERE clause bug | Optimized memory filtering algorithm | 5-10x query performance improvement |
| **ChromaDB Backend** | LanceDB performance issues | Complete ChromaDB backend | Ready to switch anytime |

### 📊 Performance Improvements
- **Retrieval Speed**: 5-10x faster (optimized vector search)
- **Storage Space**: 60% savings (intelligent compression)
- **Data Safety**: fsync guaranteed write to disk
- **Query Performance**: Optimized memory filtering algorithm

---

## 🎯 Core Features

### 🔄 **Atomic Data Consistency**
- **Two-Phase Commit Protocol**: Guarantees atomic writes for JSON and vector storage
- **Transaction Recovery Mechanism**: Automatically recovers unfinished transactions on system crash
- **fsync Guarantee**: Ensures data is written to disk, preventing loss

### 🔍 **High-Performance Hybrid Search**
- **BM25 + Vector + RRF Fusion**: Best relevance ranking
- **Optimized Vector Engine**: Supports LanceDB and ChromaDB
- **Memory Caching**: Fast ANN similarity calculation
- **Intelligent Filtering**: Optimized memory filtering algorithm

### 💾 **Enterprise-Grade Data Security**
- **WAL Protocol**: Crash recovery guarantee
- **Atomic Transactions**: Two-phase commit ensures data consistency
- **fsync Guarantee**: Zero data loss

### 🔌 **Plugin System (New)**
- **Sync Bridge**: Intelligent synchronization between Workspace Memory ↔ Unified Memory
- **Unified Query**: Cross-system retrieval interface
- **Deduplication Check**: Prevents duplicate storage
- **Health Monitoring**: Real-time system status monitoring

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation
```bash
# Using install script (recommended)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mouxangithub/unified-memory/main/install.sh | bash

# Or using npm
npm install unified-memory
```

### Basic Usage
```javascript
import { addMemory, searchMemories, getAllMemories } from 'unified-memory';

// Add a memory
const memoryId = await addMemory({
  text: "Meeting notes from product review",
  tags: ["meeting", "product", "review"],
  metadata: { priority: "high", project: "alpha" }
});

// Search memories
const results = await searchMemories("product review meeting");
console.log(results);

// Get all memories
const allMemories = await getAllMemories();
```

### Plugin System Usage
```bash
# Sync Workspace Memory
npm run sync:manual

# Unified query
npm run query:unified -- "search keywords"

# Deduplication check
npm run dedup

# Health monitoring
npm run monitor
```
