+## 0.6.2 (2026-05-01)
+
+- Fix: Kimi K2.6 reasoning mode consumed entire token budget leaving `content` empty — thinking now disabled on Moonshot calls so graphs actually populate (#623)
+- Fix: `graphify update` / `graphify watch` never persisted the manifest, so every subsequent `--update` re-extracted all files — manifest now saved after each rebuild (#621)
+- Fix: inline comments in `.graphifyignore` (e.g. `vendor/ # legacy`) now stripped correctly — whitespace + `#` suffix is treated as a comment, `path#hash.py` preserved (#605)
+- Fix: `graphify query "FunctionName"` now returns the exact matching node first instead of high-degree hub modules hijacking the output — 100-point exact-match bonus + seeds render before BFS expansion (#638)
+- Fix: concurrent AST extractors raced on a shared `.tmp` cache file — each writer now gets a unique tempfile via `mkstemp`, eliminating cache corruption under parallel extraction (#589)
+- Fix: `_clone_repo` branch names starting with `-` could be interpreted as git flags — validation added, `--` separator inserted before positional args (#589)
+- Fix: replaced `html2text` (GPL-3.0) with `markdownify` (MIT) — removes the only copyleft dependency from a MIT project (#586)
+- Fix: `--update` re-extracted files whose mtime was bumped by sync tools (Obsidian, Nextcloud) without content changes — manifest now stores content hash alongside mtime; mtime bump triggers an MD5 check before re-extraction (#593)
+- Feat: R language support — `.r` files classified as code and processed via LLM semantic extraction (#617)
+- Feat: extensionless shell scripts now detected via shebang (`#!/bin/bash`, `#!/usr/bin/env python3`, etc.) and included as code (#619)
+- Fix: cross-language INFERRED `calls` edges (e.g. Python→TypeScript name collision) no longer appear as top surprising connections in GRAPH_REPORT.md (#630)
+- Fix: `cluster-only` CLI silently flipped directed graphs to undirected — `directed` flag now read from graph.json and preserved through re-clustering (#590)
+- Fix: Windows UNC / extended-length paths (`\\?\C:\...`) now normalize to consistent cache keys (#629)
+- Fix: `.graphifyignore` negation patterns (`!src/lib/secrets.ts`) now work — full last-match-wins evaluation with `!` un-ignore support (#628)
+
 ## 0.6.1 (2026-05-01)
 
 - Fix: `.graphifyignore` discovery now uses correct gitignore semantics — outer rules are loaded first so inner (closer) rules always win via last-match-wins, matching standard gitignore behavior (#643)

-Same syntax as `.gitignore`. You can keep a single `.graphifyignore` at your repo root — patterns work correctly even when graphify is run on a subfolder. Discovery never crosses a VCS boundary (`.git`, `.hg`, etc.), so sibling projects in a shared workspace don't leak rules into each other. Without a VCS root, only the scan folder's own `.graphifyignore` applies.
