-## [1.2.1] - 2025-10-02
+## [1.3.0] - 2025-10-08
 
-**Critical Threshold Fix**
-
-### Fixed
-- **Default Threshold**: Lowered from 0.75 to 0.5 for better result balance
-- **foName Filter Issues**: Fixed exact matches being filtered out by high thresholds
-- **Configuration Examples**: Updated all examples to use proven 0.5 threshold
-- **AI Instructions**: Enhanced guidance for threshold usage with foName filter
-
-### Enhanced
-- **Adaptive Strategy**: Updated to 0.5 → 0.4 → 0.3 → no threshold progression
-- **Debug Logging**: Added request/response logging for troubleshooting
-- **Documentation**: Comprehensive foName filter usage examples
-
-### Why This Fix Matters
-The original 0.75 threshold was too restrictive and filtered out exact artifact matches even when using the foName filter. This patch ensures reliable exact matching while maintaining semantic search quality.

-## [1.2.0] - 2025-10-01
-
-**New Feature: Exact Artifact Matching**
+**AI Workflow Enhancement - The Golden Path**
 
 ### Added
-- **foName Filter**: New exact match filter for finding specific F&O artifacts by name
-- **MCP Tool Enhancement**: Added `filters.foName` parameter to `search_fo_artifacts` tool
-- **AI Assistant Integration**: Updated MCP server instructions with foName filter examples
-- **API Documentation**: Added foName filter usage examples and documentation
+- 🎯 **Golden Path Workflow**: AI now follows proven 6-step development methodology for every F&O task
+- 🔧 **Custom Code Discovery Instructions**: Enhanced MCP instructions emphasize searching user's workspace for existing extensions
+- 📊 **Context-Aware Generation Guidance**: AI combines standard D365 patterns with user's existing customizations
+- 💡 **Structured Presentation Templates**: AI presents findings with clear distinction between standard and custom code
+- ⚠️ **Conflict Prevention Protocol**: Critical workflow ensures AI checks existing extensions before generating code
 
 ### Enhanced
-- **Search Precision**: When you know the exact F&O artifact name (e.g., "CustTable", "SalesTable"), use foName filter for precise results
-- **MCP Server Instructions**: Added examples showing how AI assistants should use foName for exact matches
-- **Tool Schema**: Updated MCP tool input schema to include filters.foName parameter
-
-### Use Cases
-- **Exact Artifact Lookup**: `search_fo_artifacts({ query: "currency table", filters: { foName: "Currency" } })`
-- **AI Assistant Guidance**: When AI knows specific artifact names, use foName for guaranteed exact matches
-- **Development Workflow**: Faster artifact discovery when exact names are known from requirements
-
-### Technical Changes
-- Updated `SearchFOArtifactsInput` interface to include filters.foName
-- Enhanced `SearchApiClient` to pass foName filter to backend API
-- Added foName parameter to MCP tool schema with proper Zod validation
-- Comprehensive documentation updates across API docs and MCP server instructions

-## [1.1.2] - 2025-10-01
-
-**Critical Bug Fix**
-
-### Fixed
-- **MCP Protocol Compliance**: Restored `structuredContent` field to maintain MCP protocol compliance
-- **Tool Output Schema**: Fixed "MCP error -32602: Tool has an output schema but no structured content was provided"
-- **Dual Format Support**: Now provides both embedded JSON in text content AND structured content for maximum compatibility
-
-### Technical Details
-- Maintains backward compatibility with both older and newer Cursor IDE versions
-- Structured content available for older clients with structured content display and MCP protocol compliance
-- Embedded JSON in text content for newer clients with structured content display issues
-- Fixed fullLocalPath usage instructions
-
-### ⚠️ Compatibility Note
-**Dual-Format Response**: This version temporarily returns search results in **two formats simultaneously** (structured content + embedded JSON in text) to ensure compatibility across all Cursor IDE versions. This approach resolves both MCP protocol compliance and display issues across different client versions.

-
-## [1.1.1] - 2025-10-01
-
-🐛 **MCP Client Compatibility Fix**
-
-### Fixed
-- ✅ **Cursor IDE 2025 Compatibility**: Fixed structured content display issues in newer Cursor versions
-- ✅ **Response Format**: Now returns single text response with embedded JSON instead of separate structuredContent
-- ✅ **File Path Instructions**: Corrected guidance to use `fullLocalPath` directly instead of concatenating paths
-- ✅ **AI Client Parsing**: Structured data now included as parseable JSON text for better AI assistant integration
-
-### Changed
-- 🔄 **MCP Response Format**: Simplified from dual-part response to single text response with embedded JSON
-- 📝 **Instructions**: Updated file access instructions to reflect correct fullLocalPath usage
-
----
-

+- **Instruction Loading**: Instructions now loaded from external markdown file (\`docs/MCP_instruction_doc/MCP_Tool_SearchFOArtifacts_Instructions.md\`)
+- **Dynamic Configuration**: Local assets path dynamically injected into instructions at runtime
+- **Fallback Mechanism**: Graceful degradation if instruction file cannot be read
 
-### Removed
-- ❌ **Binary Executables**: No longer providing .exe/.app binaries
-- ❌ **Binary-specific Scripts**: Removed pkg and nexe build commands
+### Why This Matters
+**Problem Solved**: AI was generating code that conflicted with users' existing F&O extensions because it only searched standard D365 artifacts without checking user's custom code.
 
-### Migration Guide
-**From v1.0.0 (Binary) to v1.1.0 (Node.js):**
+**Solution**: The Golden Path workflow ensures AI ALWAYS:
+1. Searches standard D365 (this tool)
+2. Reads standard implementation
+3. **Searches user's workspace for existing extensions** (critical step)
+4. **Reads user's customizations** (critical step)
+5. Generates code that extends user's existing implementation
+6. Presents with full context showing both standard and custom code
 
-1. **Install Node.js** (18+) from https://nodejs.org/
-2. **Update MCP config** to use `node` command:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "command": "node",
-     "args": ["C:\\Downloads\\fo-semantic-mcp\\dist\\server.js"]
-   }
-   ```
-3. **Alternative**: Use launcher script:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "command": "C:\\Downloads\\fo-semantic-mcp\\fo-semantic-mcp-win.cmd"
-   }
-   ```
+**Result**: Code that integrates seamlessly with existing customizations on first try.
 
-### Why This Change?
-- **MCP SDK Compatibility**: Binary packaging had module resolution issues
-- **Industry Standard**: Most MCP servers use Node.js approach
-- **Better Error Handling**: Clearer debugging and error messages
-- **Smaller Downloads**: No large binary files required
