 ## [Unreleased]

+
+### Fixed
+
+- **OID guard in `writeContent()`** — Throw if `getContentOid()` returns null after a successful write, enforcing the `WriteContentResult.sha: string` contract (#284)
+- **Error cause chain in `readContent()`** — Capture original error via `{ cause: err }` so callers can distinguish blob-not-found from infrastructure failures (#284)
+- **Null guard in `readContent()`** — Changed `!contentBuf` to explicit `contentBuf == null` for clearer null/undefined intent (#284)
+- **Null guard in `hasContent()`** — Changed `sha !== null` to `sha != null` to catch both null and undefined from `getContentOid()`, consistent with other callers (#284)
+- **ROADMAP stale integrity-check language** — Corrected binary content backlog item to reflect WARP-native blob storage; reframed `--verify` flag as OID existence check (#284)
+- **JSDoc typedef terminology** — Changed "Git blob SHA" / "Written blob SHA" to "Git blob OID" in `ContentMeta` and `WriteContentResult` typedefs (#284)
+- **Dead `execSync` import** — Removed unused `execSync` from `test/content.test.js`; only `execFileSync` is used (#284)
+
+### Added
+
+- **Empty content edge-case test** — Verifies `writeContent()` handles empty string input correctly (size 0, round-trip intact) (#284)
+
+## [4.0.0] - 2026-02-22
+
+### Changed
+
+- **BREAKING: Migrate content system to git-warp native API** — Replaced custom CAS layer (`git hash-object` / `git cat-file`) with `@git-stunts/git-warp` native `setContent()` / `getContent()` API. Content properties now use WARP's `CONTENT_PROPERTY_KEY` instead of custom `_content.sha`. Removes all direct git subprocess calls from content module (#284)
+- **Test count** — 577 tests across 29 files (was 571)

 ### Content system enhancements (from M13 VESSEL review)
 
-- **`git mind content list`** — Query all nodes that have `_content.sha` properties. Currently there's no way to discover which nodes carry content without inspecting each one individually.
-- **Binary content support** — Add base64 encoding for non-text MIME types. Currently the content system is text-only (UTF-8); non-UTF-8 blobs fail the integrity check by design. Requires reintroducing encoding metadata and updating `readContent()` to handle buffer round-trips.
-- **`content meta --verify` flag** — Run the SHA integrity check without dumping the full content body. Useful for bulk health checks across all content-bearing nodes.
+- **`git mind content list`** — Query all nodes that have `_content` properties. Currently there's no way to discover which nodes carry content without inspecting each one individually.
+- **Binary content support** — Add base64 encoding for non-text MIME types. Currently the content system is text-only (UTF-8); WARP stores blobs natively but `readContent()` always calls `.toString('utf-8')`, so binary round-trips are lossy. Requires returning a `Buffer` for non-text MIME types and reintroducing encoding metadata.
+- **`content meta --verify` flag** — Verify the content blob OID exists in the git object store without dumping the full body. Useful for bulk health checks across all content-bearing nodes.
