 # MTG Python Deckbuilder ${VERSION}
 
+## Highlights
+- **Include/Exclude Cards Feature Complete**: Full implementation with enhanced web UI, intelligent fuzzy matching, and performance optimization. Users can now specify must-include and must-exclude cards with comprehensive card knowledge base and excellent performance.
+- **Enhanced Fuzzy Matching**: Advanced algorithm with 300+ Commander-legal card knowledge base, popular/iconic card prioritization, and dark theme confirmation modal for optimal user experience.
+- **Mobile Responsive Design**: Optimized mobile experience with bottom-floating build controls, two-column grid layout, and horizontal scrolling prevention for improved thumb navigation.
+- **Enhanced Visual Validation**: List size validation UI with warning icons (⚠️ over-limit, ⚡ approaching limit) and color coding providing clear feedback on usage limits.
+- **Performance Optimized**: All operations exceed performance targets with 100% pass rate - exclude filtering 92% under target, UI operations 70% under target, full validation cycle 95% under target.
+- **Dual Architecture Support**: Seamless functionality across both web interface (staging system) and CLI (direct build) with proper include injection timing.
+
+## What's new
+- **Enhanced Visual Validation**
+  - List size validation UI with visual warning system using icons and color coding
+  - Live validation badges showing count/limit status with clear visual indicators
+  - Performance-optimized validation with all targets exceeded (100% pass rate)
+  - Backward compatibility verification ensuring existing modals/flows unchanged
+- **Include/Exclude Lists**
+  - Must-include cards (max 10) and must-exclude cards (max 15) with strict/warn enforcement modes
+  - Enhanced fuzzy matching algorithm with 300+ Commander-legal card knowledge base
+  - Popular cards (184) and iconic cards (102) prioritization for improved matching accuracy
+  - Dark theme confirmation modal with card preview and top 3 alternatives for <90% confidence matches
+  - Color identity validation ensuring included cards match commander colors
+  - File upload support (.txt) with deduplication and user feedback
+  - JSON export/import preserving all include/exclude configuration via permalink system
+- **Web Interface Enhancement**
+  - Two-column layout with visual distinction: green for includes, red for excludes
+  - Chips/tag UI allowing per-card removal with real-time textarea synchronization
+  - Enhanced validation endpoint with comprehensive diagnostics and conflict detection
+  - Debounced validation (500ms) for improved performance during typing
+  - Enter key handling fixes preventing accidental form submission in textareas
+  - Mobile responsive design with bottom-floating build controls and two-column grid layout
+  - Mobile horizontal scrolling prevention and setup status optimization
+  - Expanded mobile viewport breakpoint (720px → 1024px) for broader device compatibility
+- **Engine Integration**
+  - Include injection after land selection, before creature/spell fill ensuring proper deck composition
+  - Exclude re-entry prevention blocking filtered cards from re-entering via downstream heuristics
+  - Staging system architecture with custom `__inject_includes__` runner for web UI builds
+  - Comprehensive logging and diagnostics for observability and debugging
+
+## Performance Benchmarks (Complete)
+- **Exclude filtering**: 4.0ms (target: ≤50ms) - 92% under target ✅
+- **Fuzzy matching**: 0.1ms (target: ≤200ms) - 99.9% under target ✅
+- **Include injection**: 14.8ms (target: ≤100ms) - 85% under target ✅
+- **Full validation cycle**: 26.0ms (target: ≤500ms) - 95% under target ✅
+- **UI operations**: 15.0ms (target: ≤50ms) - 70% under target ✅
+- **Overall pass rate**: 5/5 (100%) with excellent performance margins
+
+## Technical Details
+- **Architecture**: Dual implementation supporting web UI staging system and CLI direct build paths
+- **Performance**: All operations well under target response times with comprehensive testing framework
+- **Backward Compatibility**: Legacy endpoint transformation maintaining exact message formats for seamless integration
+- **Feature Flag**: `ALLOW_MUST_HAVES=true` environment variable for controlled rollout
+
+## Notes
+- Include cards are injected after lands but before normal creature/spell selection to ensure optimal deck composition
+- Exclude cards are globally filtered from all card pools preventing any possibility of inclusion
+- Enhanced fuzzy matching handles common variations and prioritizes popular Commander staples like Lightning Bolt, Sol Ring, Counterspell
+- Fuzzy match confirmation modal provides card preview and suggestions when confidence is below 90%
+- Card knowledge base contains 300+ Commander-legal cards organized by function rather than competitive format
+- Strict mode will abort builds if any valid include cards cannot be added; warn mode continues with diagnostics
+- Visual warning system provides clear feedback when approaching or exceeding list size limits
+
+## Fixes
+- Resolved critical architecture mismatch where web UI and CLI used different build paths
+- Fixed form submission issues where include cards weren't saving properly
+- Corrected comma parsing that was breaking card names containing commas
+- Fixed backward compatibility test failures with warning message format standardization
+- Eliminated debug and emergency logging messages for production readiness
+
 ## Highlights
 - Mobile UI polish: collapsible left sidebar with persisted state, sticky controls that respect the header, and banner subtitle that stays inline when the menu is collapsed.
 - Multi-Copy is now opt-in from the New Deck modal, and suggestions are filtered to match selected themes (e.g., Rabbit Kindred → Hare Apparent).
