## [1.2.0] - 2026-01-11

### Added - Phase 5.3: Multi-Agent Learning

- **Learning Profiles**: Per-task-type expertise tracking for each agent
  - `LearningProfile` struct with task-type expertise mapping
  - Success rate calculation with recency bias (7-day window weighted 3x)
  - Confidence scoring based on execution count (prevents small-sample overfitting)
  - Learning curve computation with exponential decay

- **Agent Scoring Service**: Unified agent selection combining swarm metrics + learning
  - Formula: `final_score = 0.3*base + 0.5*expertise + 0.2*confidence`
  - Base score from SwarmCoordinator (load balancing)
  - Expertise score from learning profiles (historical success)
  - Confidence weighting dampens low-execution-count agents

- **Knowledge Graph Integration**: Learning curve calculator
  - `calculate_learning_curve()` with time-series expertise evolution
  - `apply_recency_bias()` with exponential weighting formula
  - Aggregate by time windows (daily/weekly) for trend analysis

- **Coordinator Enhancement**: Learning-based agent selection
  - Extract task type from description/role
  - Query learning profiles for task-specific expertise
  - Replace simple load balancing with learning-aware scoring
  - Background profile synchronization (30s interval)

### Added - Phase 5.4: Cost Optimization

- **Budget Manager**: Per-role cost enforcement
  - `BudgetConfig` with TOML serialization/deserialization
  - Role-specific monthly and weekly limits (in cents)
  - Automatic fallback provider when budget exceeded
  - Alert thresholds (default 80% utilization)
  - Weekly/monthly automatic resets

- **Configuration Loading**: Graceful budget initialization
  - `BudgetConfig::load()` with strict validation
  - `BudgetConfig::load_or_default()` with fallback to empty config
  - Environment variable override: `BUDGET_CONFIG_PATH`
  - Validation: limits > 0, thresholds in [0.0, 1.0]

- **Cost-Aware Routing**: Provider selection with budget constraints
  - Three-tier enforcement:
    1. Budget exceeded → force fallback provider
    2. Near threshold (>80%) → prefer cost-efficient providers
    3. Normal → rule-based routing with cost as tiebreaker
  - Cost efficiency ranking: `(quality * 100) / (cost + 1)`
  - Fallback chain ordering by cost (Ollama → Gemini → OpenAI → Claude)

- **Prometheus Metrics**: Real-time cost and budget monitoring
  - `vapora_llm_budget_remaining_cents{role}` - Monthly budget remaining
  - `vapora_llm_budget_utilization{role}` - Budget usage fraction (0.0-1.0)
  - `vapora_llm_fallback_triggered_total{role,reason}` - Fallback event counter
  - `vapora_llm_cost_per_provider_cents{provider}` - Cumulative cost per provider
  - `vapora_llm_tokens_per_provider{provider,type}` - Token usage tracking

- **Grafana Dashboards**: Visual monitoring
  - Budget utilization gauge (color thresholds: 70%, 90%, 100%)
  - Cost distribution pie chart (percentage per provider)
  - Fallback trigger time series (rate of fallback activations)
  - Agent assignment latency histogram (P50, P95, P99)

- **Alert Rules**: Prometheus alerting
  - `BudgetThresholdExceeded`: Utilization > 80% for 5 minutes
  - `HighFallbackRate`: Rate > 0.1 for 10 minutes
  - `CostAnomaly`: Cost spike > 2x historical average
  - `LearningProfilesInactive`: No updates for 5 minutes

### Added - Integration & Testing

  - `test_end_to_end_learning_with_budget_enforcement()` - Full system test
  - `test_learning_selection_with_budget_constraints()` - Budget pressure scenarios
  - `test_learning_profile_improvement_with_budget_tracking()` - Learning evolution

- **Agent Server Integration**: Budget initialization at startup
  - Load budget configuration from `config/agent-budgets.toml`
  - Initialize BudgetManager with Arc for thread-safe sharing
  - Attach to coordinator via `with_budget_manager()` builder pattern
  - Graceful fallback if no configuration exists

- **Coordinator Builder Pattern**: Budget manager attachment
  - Added `budget_manager: Option<Arc<BudgetManager>>` field
  - `with_budget_manager()` method for fluent API
  - Updated all constructors (`new()`, `with_registry()`)
