+
+### Changed - Development Environment
+
+- Updated [.gitignore](.gitignore) for better workspace management
+- Cleaned up VSCode settings
+- Removed [.vscode/settings.json](.vscode/settings.json) from repository
+
+### Technical Improvements
+
+- Modular autonomy architecture with clear separation of concerns
+- Test-driven development for new autonomy features
+- Enhanced state persistence across system restarts
+- Flexible NeoMem integration with enable/disable controls
+
+### Architecture - Autonomy System Design
+
+The autonomy system operates in layers:
+1. **Executive Layer** - High-level planning and goal setting
+2. **Decision Layer** - Evaluates options and makes choices
+3. **Action Layer** - Executes autonomous decisions
+4. **Learning Layer** - Adapts behavior based on patterns
+5. **Monitoring Layer** - Proactive awareness of system state
+
+All layers coordinate through the orchestrator and maintain state in `self_state.json`.
