## [Unreleased]
### Fixed
- **Corrected "mgrep" misattribution in Everything Claude Code evaluation**
- **Issue**: Incorrectly claimed Everything Claude Code contained "mgrep (50% token reduction)" tool
- **Reality**: No such tool exists in affaan-m/everything-claude-code repository (verified via WebFetch)
- **Confusion**: Mixed up mgrep (mixedbread-ai semantic search) with non-existent token reduction tool
- **Files corrected**:
- `docs/resource-evaluations/015-everything-claude-code-github-repo.md`: Removed 14 erroneous mgrep mentions
- `machine-readable/reference.yaml:724`: Removed "mgrep (50% token reduction)" from unique patterns
- `guide/ultimate-guide.md:14821`: Replaced with verified patterns (hookify, strategic compaction)
- `CHANGELOG.md`: Updated v3.17.0 and v3.15.0 entries
- **Verified patterns now documented**: hookify, pass@k metrics, sandboxed subagents, strategic compaction skills
- **Impact**: Maintains guide credibility, prevents user confusion, ensures accuracy of ecosystem documentation
