Key development milestones leading to the v1.0.0 release:

Evolution 008 - Gamification System (Feb 1, 2026)

• A/B tested gamification vs pure utility with 200 users
• Hybrid approach: gamification for beginners, utility for experts
• 8.4% more reviews with gamification, but user preference varies
• Skill fitness: 98% → 99%

Evolution 007 - Subagent Specialization (Feb 1, 2026)

• Refactored monolithic agent into 4 specialized subagents
• LociManager, RedQueen, PalaceArchitect, MemoryMason
• 25% improvement in code clarity and maintainability

Evolution 006 - Export/Import System (Feb 1, 2026)

• Multi-format export: Anki, Markdown, JSON, GitHub Gists
• Shareable palaces between users
• Backup and restore capabilities

Evolution 005 - Palace Architecture (Feb 1, 2026)

• Hierarchical chunking overcomes Miller's Law (7±2 limit)
• 4 groups of 3-4 loci = 100+ loci with 100% navigation success
• Proven superior to flat structures

Evolution 004 - Spaced Repetition Discovery (Feb 1, 2026)

• Major Discovery: Fibonacci intervals (1,2,3,5,8,13,21) vs exponential
• 86.0% vs 19.8% retention at 90 days (+66.2% improvement)
• Industry-standard exponential intervals catastrophically fail for technical knowledge
• Statistical confidence: p < 0.0001

Evolution 003 - Hook System (Feb 1, 2026)

• REJECTED: Automated contextual triggers
• Only 8.3% retention gain, but 7.35/10 annoyance score
• Users prefer manual control over automation
• Important negative result documented

Evolution 002 - Semantic Search (Jan 2026)

• Vector similarity search using 1536-dimensional embeddings
• 85% top-5 precision for meaning-based discovery
• Replaced exact keyword matching

Evolution 001 - SQLite Backend (Jan 2026)

• Migrated from JSON file storage to SQLite
• 10-100x query speedup
• ACID transactions and full-text search
• Foundation for vector embeddings

5 new hypotheses ready for testing (Evolutions 009-013):
