+# Omnigraph v0.7.1
+
+A patch release on top of v0.7.0: three correctness fixes (camelCase filters,
+cluster-apply crash loops, branch-merge OOM on embedding tables), one CLI
+catalog-metadata improvement, and a warm-read performance fix. No breaking
+changes, no on-disk format change, and no migration — drop-in over v0.7.0.
+
+## Fixes
+
+- **camelCase property filters now execute (#283).** A query — or a chained
+  mutation — that filtered on a camelCase schema field (e.g. `repoName`) linted
+  and planned cleanly but failed at run time with `No field named reponame.
+  Column names are case sensitive.` The identifier's case was destroyed at two
+  engine→Lance boundaries: the read-filter pushdown built the column with a
+  case-normalizing constructor, and the pending-batch mutation scan re-parsed
+  the predicate through a normalizing SQL context. Both now preserve case (the
+  read path uses a case-preserving column reference; the pending scan disables
+  SQL identifier normalization), so camelCase fields work consistently in read
+  and write predicates and a camelCase `@index` equality still routes to the
+  scalar index. The fix is correct-by-construction rather than a per-query
+  guard; a regression test pins index routing so a silent full-scan fallback
+  can't slip back in.
+
+- **`cluster apply` no longer crash-loops a booting server (#284).** Applying a
+  schema change while a graph had non-main (agent/review) branches, or a
+  migration that needed a backfill, could throw a freshly-booting
+  `omnigraph-server --cluster` into an unescapable crash loop. Neither input is
+  an engine bug — the engine rejects both cleanly and before moving any graph
+  state — but `cluster apply` wrote a recovery sidecar before calling the
+  engine and left it in place on the clean rejection, and the server refuses to
+  boot while a sidecar is pending. The asymmetric-cleanup path is fixed so a
+  pre-movement rejection leaves no stale sidecar, breaking the loop.
+
+- **Branch-merge fast-forward no longer OOMs on embedding tables (#277).** A
+  branch→main fast-forward merge of a forked, embedding-bearing table
+  re-derived the whole branch through a single Lance `merge_insert` — a
+  full-outer hash join over the entire delta — which exhausted the DataFusion
+  memory pool on high-dimensional embeddings (e.g. 8k rows × 3072-dim) and hung
+  or failed the merge. New rows now stream through `stage_append` (no hash
+  join), only genuinely-changed rows are upserted, embeddings are no longer
+  stringified to diff them, and index coverage defers to the reconciler, so a
+  fast-forward merge completes in bounded work. The three-way merge path is
+  unchanged.
+
+## Improvements
+
+- **`omnigraph queries list` surfaces stored-query `@description` /
+  `@instruction` (#280).** The CLI now shows a stored query's catalog metadata —
+  what it does and how to invoke it — in both human and `--json` output,
+  matching what `GET /queries` already returned. Previously both fields were
+  silently dropped on the CLI side.
+
+- **Warm reads no longer pay an O(history) metadata tax (#268).** Warm reads
+  used to re-derive per-query metadata (coordinator re-open, `__manifest` +
+  commit-graph re-scans, per-table re-open, double schema validation) on a cost
+  that scaled with commit history and never warmed up. A warm same-branch read
+  now does one cheap version probe, one schema read, and zero table opens on a
+  warm repeat (warm coordinator reuse, open-by-location+version, validate-once,
+  held `Dataset` handles + one shared Lance `Session` per graph). This also
+  closes a commit-DAG fork where a same-branch write after an external commit
+  could append off a stale cached head.
+
+## Upgrade notes
+
+Drop-in over v0.7.0 — no configuration, schema, or data changes. Upgrade the
+server and CLI together as usual. Graphs created on v0.7.0 read and write
+identically on v0.7.1.
