Note

Low Risk
Version-only metadata changes with no runtime or security behavior modified in the diff.

Overview
Release 1.5.1 — synchronizes the version string from 1.5.0 to 1.5.1 everywhere it is published or displayed.

Updates pyproject.toml and src/brainlayer/__init__.py for the Python package, both version fields in server.json (server manifest and PyPI package entry), and CFBundleVersion / CFBundleShortVersionString in the BrainBar Info.plist. No application logic changes in this diff.

Each worker must use its own database connection and retry on SQLITE_BUSY.
For bulk database operations, stop enrichment workers, checkpoint WAL before and after, drop and recreate FTS triggers around large deletes, batch deletes in 5–10K chunks, and checkpoint every three batches.
Use the canonical BrainLayer naming: BrainLayer (זיכרון) means “memory.”

src/brainlayer/**/*.py: Preserve ai_code, stack_trace, and user_message verbatim; skip noise, summarize build logs, and retain only structure for directory listings.
Use AST-aware tree-sitter chunking, never split stack traces, and mask large tool output.
Keep Groq as the primary enrichment backend, Gemini as fallback, and Ollama as the offline last resort; honor BRAINLAYER_ENRICH_BACKEND and BRAINLAYER_ENRICH_RATE.
Default searches must exclude lifecycle-managed chunks; include_archived=True may expose history. brain_supersede must apply its personal-data safety gate, and brain_archive must soft-delete with a timestamp.

Poem

A rabbit hops through versions bright,
From one-five-zero to one-five-one tonight.
Plists and manifests thump in time,
Python joins the release rhyme.
“Ship it!” squeaks the bunny crew—
Version 1.5.1, fresh and new!
