- Replace complex 8-enhancement proposal with simpler 3-phase approach - Switch from semantic to hash-based partitioning for multi-writer scenarios - Introduce zero-config distributed mode with automatic role detection - Add shared JSON config coordination instead of complex locking mechanisms - Focus on minimal user burden with progressive disclosure for advanced features - Phase 1: Foundation with shared config and hash partitioning (3-4 days) - Phase 2: Optimizations for caching and domain metadata (2-3 days) - Phase 3: Optional advanced features for write-heavy workloads (3-4 days) |
