+## [2026.5.7] - 2026-05-11
+
+Rebuild against [Fortemi v2026.5.6](https://github.com/Fortemi/Fortemi/releases/tag/v2026.5.6) — the bundled `hotm-matric-api` sidecar picks up two API additions and one important seed-path fix.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Bundled sidecar rebuilt against Fortemi v2026.5.6.** Pulls in:
+  - **`defer_inference` flag on `POST /api/v1/backup/import`** (Fortemi #677) — When `true`, imported notes land as raw content only; the full NLP pipeline (embeddings, metadata, NER, linking, title generation) is skipped. FTS works immediately via the insert-trigger-maintained tsvector. Semantic backfill is on-demand via `POST /api/v1/notes/reprocess`. Default `false` preserves prior behavior. Fixes the case where a manual `/backup/import` of a large archive could pin Ollama for hours on edge hardware.
+  - **`title` field on `CreateNoteRequest` and `POST /api/v1/notes`** (Fortemi #675) — Optional explicit title. When provided, the AI title-generation pipeline step is skipped (caller's value is authoritative). Bulk-create accepts it on every item.
+- **`ui/src-tauri/Cargo.toml` and `Cargo.lock` version sync.** Previous releases (`v2026.5.5`, `v2026.5.6`) left the Rust crate version pinned at `2026.5.4` — only `ui/package.json` and `tauri.conf.json` were bumped. This release brings all four version pins back in sync at `2026.5.7`. No user-visible effect on the .app bundle (the Tauri build reads version from `tauri.conf.json`); fixes `cargo metadata` parity for downstream tooling.
+
+### AIWG
+
+- Framework refreshed to a kernel-only deployment model. `.agents/skills/` now ships ~10 quickref skills (one per installed framework + core utilities); the bulk of the SDLC, research, marketing, forensics, ops, knowledge-base, security-engineering, and media-curator skills moved to `.claude/skills/` and are reached via `aiwg discover` / `aiwg show` rather than pre-loaded. No runtime impact on the desktop app.

+# HotM 2026.5.7
+
+**Release date:** 2026-05-11
+**Type:** Patch — rebuild against [Fortemi v2026.5.6](https://github.com/Fortemi/Fortemi/releases/tag/v2026.5.6).
+
+Drop-in replacement. No HotM source changes; the .deb / .dmg / .AppImage bundle a freshly-built `hotm-matric-api` sidecar that picks up two Fortemi API additions plus the `/backup/import` performance fix.
+
+## Install
+
+### Linux (one command)
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Fortemi/HotM/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
+```
+
+Idempotent. Existing 2026.5.6 installs upgrade in place; the `.deb` postinst is a no-op for an already-seeded `matric` DB.
+
+### Linux (.deb direct)
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install ./HotM_2026.5.7_amd64.deb
+```
+
+### macOS
+
+```bash
+hdiutil attach HotM_2026.5.7_aarch64.dmg
+cp -R "/Volumes/HotM/HotM.app" /Applications/
+hdiutil detach "/Volumes/HotM"
+xattr -cr /Applications/HotM.app
+```
+
+### Docker UI image
+
+```bash
+docker pull ghcr.io/fortemi/hotm-ui:2026.5.7
+```
+
+## What changed
+
+### Bundled sidecar — Fortemi v2026.5.6 additions
+
+The `hotm-matric-api` binary inside the bundle is rebuilt against Fortemi v2026.5.6:
+
+- **`defer_inference` flag on `POST /api/v1/backup/import`** ([Fortemi #677](https://github.com/Fortemi/Fortemi/pull/677)) — When `true`, the import skips embeddings, metadata extraction, NER, link detection, and AI title generation; notes land as raw content with FTS available immediately (insert-trigger maintains the `tsvector`). Semantic backfill is on-demand via `POST /api/v1/notes/reprocess`. Default `false` preserves prior behavior.
+
+  Why this matters for HotM: the prior release could enqueue ~5× the note count in background jobs on a manual archive import, pinning Ollama for hours on edge hardware. Bulk-import flows now have an explicit fast path.
+
+- **`title` field on `CreateNoteRequest` and `POST /api/v1/notes`** ([Fortemi #675](https://github.com/Fortemi/Fortemi/pull/675)) — Optional explicit title. When provided, the AI title-generation pipeline step is skipped (caller's value is authoritative). Bulk-create accepts it on every item. Threaded through to the underlying `INSERT INTO note`.
+
+  Why this matters for HotM: callers that already know the title (importers, scripted captures, the future bulk-paste flow) skip the LLM round-trip for title generation. Faster note creation, fewer wasted tokens.
+
+The HotM UI does not yet expose either flag — they are sidecar API surface only at this release. Wiring the UI to set `defer_inference` on the import flow and `title` on quick-capture is tracked separately.
+
+### Version pin sync
+
+`ui/src-tauri/Cargo.toml` and `Cargo.lock` were stale at `2026.5.4` across the last two releases — only `package.json` and `tauri.conf.json` got bumped. All four pins are back in sync at `2026.5.7`. No effect on the bundled .app (Tauri reads version from `tauri.conf.json`); fixes `cargo metadata` parity.
+
+### AIWG framework refresh
+
+Kernel-only skill deployment. `.agents/skills/` ships ~10 quickref skills (one per framework + core utilities); the bulk of SDLC, research, marketing, forensics, ops, knowledge-base, security-engineering, and media-curator skills moved to `.claude/skills/` and are now reached via `aiwg discover` + `aiwg show`. No runtime impact on the desktop app.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+Identical to v2026.5.6. PostgreSQL 18 still required (`uuidv7()` dependency in matric-api migrations). No host-adapter symbol changes, no breaking API surface changes — the new fields are additive and optional.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Clean install from `install.sh` exercised end-to-end on Ubuntu (linux amd64) and via DMG on macOS (mutsu, M4 / arm64). Postinst seeds the `matric` DB cleanly; bundled sidecar starts and serves; ollama models (`qwen3.5:9b`, `nomic-embed-text`) reachable.
+- Sidecar binary rebuilt from `Fortemi/Fortemi @ v2026.5.6`.
+- `act_runner exec -j quality-gate -W .gitea/workflows/ui-ci.yml` green.
+
+Pairs with [Fortemi v2026.5.6](https://github.com/Fortemi/Fortemi/releases/tag/v2026.5.6) (defer-inference + explicit-title release on the API side).
