Packing does not respect root-level ignore files in workspaces
### Impact `npm pack` ignores root-level `.gitignore` & `.npmignore` file exclusion directives when run in a workspace or with a workspace flag (ie. `--workspaces`, `--workspace=<name>`). Anyone who has run `npm pack` or `npm publish` with workspaces, as of [v7.9.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.9.0) & [v7.13.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.13.0) respectively, may be affected and have published files into the npm registry they did not intend to include. ### Patch - Up
Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource in NPM
An issue was discovered in an npm 5.7.0 2018-02-21 pre-release (marked as "next: 5.7.0" and therefore automatically installed by an "npm upgrade -g npm" command, and also announced in the vendor's blog without mention of pre-release status). It might allow local users to bypass intended filesystem access restrictions because ownerships of /etc and /usr directories are being changed unexpectedly, related to a "correctMkdir" issue.
Local Privilege Escalation in npm
Affected versions of `npm` use predictable temporary file names during archive unpacking. If an attacker can create a symbolic link at the location of one of these temporary file names, the attacker can arbitrarily write to any file that the user which owns the `npm` process has permission to write to, potentially resulting in local privilege escalation. ## Recommendation Update to version 1.3.3 or later.
npm CLI exposing sensitive information through logs
Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.14.6 are vulnerable to an information exposure vulnerability through log files. The CLI supports URLs like `<protocol>://[<user>[:<password>]@]<hostname>[:<port>][:][/]<path>`. The password value is not redacted and is printed to stdout and also to any generated log files.
npm Vulnerable to Global node_modules Binary Overwrite
Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.4 are vulnerable to a Global node_modules Binary Overwrite. It fails to prevent existing globally-installed binaries to be overwritten by other package installations. For example, if a package was installed globally and created a `serve` binary, any subsequent installs of packages that also create a `serve` binary would overwrite the first binary. This will not overwrite system binaries but only binaries put into the global node_modules directory. This b

A structured, persistent reasoning workspace for AI. Provides 20 tools for building thought chains, exploring alternatives through branching, revising earlier thinking, searching reasoning history, and persisting sessions across context window resets and server restarts.
AI's built-in reasoning is ephemeral — when context windows fill, thinking gets compressed or lost. Complex problems need exploration of multiple approaches, backtracking when paths fail, and the ability to resume where you left off. MAXential externalizes reasoning into a workspace that persists, branches, and survives.
Forked from Anthropic's sequential-thinking MCP server, which provided a single tool with 9 parameters. Its schema included branching parameters (branch_from_thought, branch_id) but had no tools to create, switch, or manage branches — the parameters were effectively inert.
MAXential replaced that single tool entirely and built 20 purpose-specific tools across three releases:
| Version | What was built |
|---|---|
| v2.0 | Replaced the single tool with 11 focused tools: core thinking (think, revise, complete), full branch management (branch, switch_branch, list_branches, get_branch, close_branch, merge_branch), and navigation (get_thought, get_history) |
| v2.2 | Added 5 organization tools: tag, search, export, visualize, reset |
| v2.3 | Added 4 session persistence tools with SQLite storage: session_save, session_load, session_list, session_summary |
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
think | Add a thought to the reasoning chain. Thoughts are numbered and persisted automatically. |
revise | Revise a previous thought when earlier thinking was flawed or incomplete. The original is preserved with revision history. |
complete | Mark the thinking chain complete with a final conclusion. |
reset | Clear the current session and start fresh. |
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
branch | Create a new reasoning branch to explore an alternative path without losing the main thread. |
switch_branch | Switch context to a different branch, or back to main. |
list_branches | List all branches with their status and thought counts. |
get_branch | Retrieve complete details of a specific branch. |
close_branch | Close a branch with an optional conclusion. |
merge_branch | Merge insights from a branch back into main. Strategies: conclusion_only, full_integration, summary. |
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_thought | Retrieve a specific thought by its number. |
get_history | Get thought history, optionally filtered by branch. |
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
tag | Add or remove semantic tags on a thought (e.g., hypothesis, evidence, decision, finding). |
search | Search thoughts by content text or by tags. |
export | Export the thinking chain as markdown or JSON. |
visualize | Generate ASCII or Mermaid diagrams of the thought structure and branches. |
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
session_save | Name and describe the current session for later retrieval. |
session_load | Restore a saved session — all thoughts, branches, and tags are loaded back into memory. |
session_list | Browse available sessions, most recently updated first. |
session_summary | Generate a compressed summary of a session for token-efficient context loading. |
Sessions are automatically persisted to SQLite as you work. Every think, branch, tag, and revise call writes through to disk in real time. Sessions survive server restarts, context window resets, and new conversations — pick up where you left off.
