 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added / Changed
+
+- **Enhanced Change Management Module**:
+  - New `semantica.change_management` module with persistent version storage and audit trails
+  - **Core Classes**: `TemporalVersionManager` (KG versioning), `OntologyVersionManager` (ontology versioning), `ChangeLogEntry` (metadata)
+  - **Storage**: SQLite (persistent) and in-memory backends with thread-safe operations
+  - **Features**: SHA-256 checksums, detailed entity/relationship diffs, structural ontology comparison, email validation
+  - **Compliance**: HIPAA, SOX, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 support with immutable audit trails
+  - **Testing**: 104 tests (100% pass) - unit, integration, compliance, performance, edge cases
+  - **Performance**: 17.6ms for 10k entities, 510+ ops/sec concurrent, handles 5k+ entity graphs
+  - **Migration**: Backward compatible, simplified class names, zero external dependencies
+
+- CSV Ingestion Enhancements (PR #244 by @saloni0318)
+  - Auto-detect CSV encoding (chardet) and delimiter (csv.Sniffer)
+  - Tolerant decoding and malformed-row handling (`on_bad_lines='warn'`)
+  - Optional chunked reading for large files; metadata tracks detected values
+  - Expanded unit tests covering delimiters, quoted/multiline fields, header overrides, chunks, and NaN preservation
+
+- Tests: Comprehensive units for TextNormalizer (PR #242 by @ZohaibHassan16)
+  - Added focused test coverage for TextNormalizer behavior across inputs
+
+- Tests: Register integration mark and tidy ingest test warnings (PR #241 by @KaifAhmad1)
+  - Introduced integration test marker and reduced noisy warnings in ingest tests
+
+- Tests (ingest): Add unit tests for file, web, and feed ingestors (PR #239 by @Mohammed2372)
+  - Broadened ingest test coverage across multiple source types
+
+## [0.2.5] - 2026-01-27
+
+### Added
+- **Pinecone Vector Store Support**:
+    - Implemented native Pinecone support (`PineconeStore`) with full CRUD capabilities.
+    - Added support for serverless and pod-based indexes, namespaces, and metadata filtering.
+    - Integrated with `VectorStore` unified interface and registry.
+    - (Closes #219, Resolves #220)
+- **Configurable LLM Retry Logic**:
+    - Exposed `max_retries` parameter in `NERExtractor`, `RelationExtractor`, `TripletExtractor` and low-level extraction methods (`extract_entities_llm`, `extract_relations_llm`, `extract_triplets_llm`).
+    - Defaults to 3 retries to prevent infinite loops during JSON validation failures or API timeouts.
+    - Propagated retry configuration through chunked processing helpers to ensure consistent behavior for long documents.
+    - Updated `03_Earnings_Call_Analysis.ipynb` to use `max_retries=3` by default.
+
+### Added
+- **Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) Support**:
+    - Enabled full support for custom Hugging Face models in `NERExtractor`, `RelationExtractor`, and `TripletExtractor`.
+    - Added support for custom tokenizers in `HuggingFaceModelLoader` to handle models with non-standard tokenization requirements.
+    - Implemented robust fallback logic for model selection: runtime options (`extract(model=...)`) now correctly override configuration defaults.
+- **Enhanced NER Implementation**:
+    - Added configurable aggregation strategies (`simple`, `first`, `average`, `max`) to `extract_entities_huggingface` for better sub-word token handling.
+    - Implemented robust IOB/BILOU parsing to reconstruct entities from raw model outputs when structured output is unavailable.
+    - Added confidence scoring for aggregated entities.
+- **Relation Extraction Improvements**:
+    - Implemented standard entity marker technique (wrapping subject/object with `<subj>`, `<obj>` tags) in `extract_relations_huggingface` for compatibility with sequence classification models.
+    - Added structured output parsing to convert raw model predictions into validated `Relation` objects.
+- **Triplet Extraction Completion**:
+    - Added specialized parsing for Seq2Seq models (e.g., REBEL) in `extract_triplets_huggingface` to generate structured triplets directly from text.
+    - Implemented post-processing logic to clean and validate generated triplets.
+
+### Fixed
+- **LLM Extraction Stability**:
+    - Fixed infinite retry loops in `BaseProvider` by strictly enforcing `max_retries` limit during structured output generation.
+    - Resolved stuck execution in earnings call analysis notebooks when using smaller models (e.g., Llama 3 8B) that frequently produce invalid JSON.
+- **Model Parameter Precedence**:
+    - Fixed issue where configuration defaults took precedence over runtime arguments in Hugging Face extractors. Runtime options now correctly override config values.
+- **Import Handling**:
+    - Fixed circular import issues in test suites by implementing robust mocking strategies.

-## Code Style Guidelines
-
-We use several tools to maintain code quality and consistency:
-
-### Formatting
-
-- **Black**: Code formatting (line length: 88)
-  ```bash
-  black semantica/
-  ```
-
-- **isort**: Import sorting
-  ```bash
-  isort semantica/
-  ```
-
-### Linting
-
-- **flake8**: Style guide enforcement
-  ```bash
-  flake8 semantica/
-  ```
-
-- **mypy**: Static type checking
-  ```bash
-  mypy semantica/
-  ```
-
-### Running All Checks
+### 2. Set Up Environment
 
 ```bash
-# Format code
-black semantica/ tests/
+# Create virtual environment

-**Open Source Framework for Semantic Layer & Knowledge Engineering**
-
-> **Transform chaotic data into intelligent knowledge.**
-
-*The missing fabric between raw data and AI engineering. A comprehensive open-source framework for building semantic layers and knowledge engineering systems that transform unstructured data into AI-ready knowledge — powering Knowledge Graph-Powered RAG (GraphRAG), AI Agents, Multi-Agent Systems, and AI applications with structured semantic knowledge.*
-
-**100% Open Source** • **MIT Licensed** • **Latest Version: 0.2.4** • **Production Ready** • **Community Driven**

-[**Discord**](https://discord.gg/pMHguUzG)
+> **Transform Choas into Intelligence. Build AI systems that are explainable, traceable, and trustworthy — not black boxes.**
 
 </div>
 
-## What is Semantica?
-
-Semantica bridges the gap between raw data chaos and AI-ready knowledge. It's a **semantic intelligence platform** that transforms unstructured data into structured, queryable knowledge graphs powering GraphRAG, AI agents, and multi-agent systems.
-
-### What Makes Semantica Different?
-
-Unlike traditional approaches that process isolated documents and extract text into vectors, Semantica understands **semantic relationships across all content**, provides **automated ontology generation**, and builds a **unified semantic layer** with **production-grade QA**.
-
-| **Traditional Approaches** | **Semantica's Approach** |
-|:---------------------------|:-------------------------|
-| Process data as isolated documents | Understands semantic relationships across all content |
-| Extract text and store vectors | Builds knowledge graphs with meaningful connections |
-| Generic entity recognition | General-purpose ontology generation and validation |
-| Manual schema definition | Automatic semantic modeling from content patterns |
-| Disconnected data silos | Unified semantic layer across all data sources |
-| Basic quality checks | Production-grade QA with conflict detection & resolution |
 
 ---
 
-## 🎯 The Problem We Solve
+## 🚀 Why Semantica?
 
-### The Semantic Gap
+**Semantica** bridges the **semantic gap** between text similarity and true meaning. It's the **semantic intelligence layer** that makes your AI agents auditable, explainable, and compliant.
 
-Organizations today face a **fundamental mismatch** between how data exists and how AI systems need it.
-
-#### The Semantic Gap: Problem vs. Solution
-
-Organizations have **unstructured data** (PDFs, emails, logs), **messy data** (inconsistent formats, duplicates, conflicts), and **disconnected silos** (no shared context, missing relationships). AI systems need **clear rules** (formal ontologies), **structured entities** (validated, consistent), and **relationships** (semantic connections, context-aware reasoning).
-
-| **What Organizations Have** | **What AI Systems Require** |
-|:------------------------------|:------------------------------|
-| **Unstructured Data** | **Clear Rules** |
-| PDFs, emails, logs | Formal ontologies |
-| Mixed schemas | Graphs & Networks |
-| Conflicting facts | |
-| **Messy, Noisy Data** | **Structured Entities** |
-| Inconsistent formats | Validated entities |
-| Duplicate records | Domain Knowledge |
-| Missing relationships | |
-| **Disconnected, Siloed Data** | **Relationships** |
-| Data in separate systems | Semantic connections |
-| No shared context | Context-Aware Reasoning |
-| Isolated knowledge | |
-
-### **SEMANTICA FRAMEWORK**
-
-Semantica operates through three integrated layers that transform raw data into AI-ready knowledge:
-
-**Input Layer** — Universal ingestion from multiple data formats (PDFs, DOCX, HTML, JSON, CSV, databases, live feeds, APIs, streams, archives, multi-modal content) into a unified pipeline.
-
-**Semantic Layer** — Core intelligence engine performing entity extraction, relationship mapping, ontology generation, context engineering, and quality assurance. Includes **advanced entity deduplication** (Jaro-Winkler, disjoint property handling) to ensure a clean single source of truth.
-
-**Output Layer** — Production-ready knowledge graphs, vector embeddings, and validated ontologies that power GraphRAG systems, AI agents, and multi-agent systems.
-
-**Powers: GraphRAG, AI Agents, Multi-Agent Systems**
-
-
-
-
-
-### What Happens Without Semantics?
-
-**They Break** — Systems crash due to inconsistent formats and missing structure.
-
-**They Hallucinate** — AI models generate false information without semantic context to validate outputs.
-
-**They Fail Silently** — Systems return wrong answers without warnings, leading to bad decisions.
-
-**Why?** Systems have data — not semantics. They can't connect concepts, understand relationships, validate against domain rules, or detect conflicts.
+Perfect for **high-stakes domains** where mistakes have real consequences.
 
 ---
 
-## 💡 The Semantica Solution
+### ⚡ Get Started in 30 Seconds
 
-**Semantica** is an **open-source framework** that closes the semantic gap between real-world messy data and the structured semantic layers required by advanced AI systems — GraphRAG, agents, multi-agent systems, reasoning models, and more.
+```bash
+pip install semantica
+```
 
-### How Semantica Solves These Problems
+```python
+from semantica.semantic_extract import NERExtractor

+ner = NERExtractor(method="ml", model="en_core_web_sm")
+entities = ner.extract("Apple Inc. was founded by Steve Jobs in 1976.")
+kg = GraphBuilder().build({"entities": entities, "relationships": []})
 
-**Universal Data Ingestion** — Handles multiple formats (PDF, DOCX, HTML, JSON, CSV, databases, APIs, streams) with unified pipeline, no custom parsers needed.
+print(f"Built KG with {len(kg.get('entities', []))} entities")
+```
 
-**Automated Semantic Extraction** — NER, relationship extraction, and triplet generation with LLM enhancement. Includes **auto-chunking** for long documents and **robust error handling** with automatic retry logic.

Features LLM-generated responses grounded in knowledge graph context with reasoning traces. [See Comparison Benchmark](cookbook/use_cases/advanced_rag/02_RAG_vs_GraphRAG_Comparison.ipynb)
-
-**AI Agent Context Engineering** — Persistent memory with RAG + knowledge graphs enables context maintenance, action validation, and structured knowledge access.
-
-**Automated Ontology Generation** — 6-stage LLM pipeline generates validated OWL ontologies with HermiT/Pellet validation, eliminating manual engineering.
-
-**Production-Grade QA** — Conflict detection, deduplication, quality scoring, and provenance tracking ensure trusted, production-ready knowledge graphs.
-
-**Pipeline Orchestration** — Flexible pipeline builder with parallel execution enables scalable processing via orchestrator-worker pattern.

+
+## 🚨 The Problem: The Semantic Gap
+
+### Most AI systems fail in high-stakes domains because they operate on **text similarity**, not **meaning**.
+
+### Understanding the Semantic Gap
+
+The **semantic gap** is the fundamental disconnect between what AI systems can process (text patterns, vector similarities) and what high-stakes applications require (semantic understanding, meaning, context, and relationships).
+
+**Traditional AI approaches:**
+- Rely on statistical patterns and text similarity
+- Cannot understand relationships between entities
+- Cannot reason about domain-specific rules
+- Cannot explain why decisions were made
+- Cannot trace back to original sources with confidence
+
+**High-stakes AI requires:**
+- Semantic understanding of entities and their relationships
+- Domain knowledge encoded as formal rules (ontologies)
+- Explainable reasoning paths
+- Source-level provenance
+- Conflict detection and resolution
+
+**Semantica bridges this gap** by providing a semantic intelligence layer that transforms unstructured data into validated, explainable, and auditable knowledge.
+
+### What Organizations Have vs What They Need
+
+| **Current State** | **Required for High-Stakes AI** |
+|:---------------------|:-----------------------------------|
+| PDFs, DOCX, emails, logs | Formal domain rules (ontologies) |
+| APIs, databases, streams | Structured and validated entities |
+| Conflicting facts and duplicates | Explicit semantic relationships |
+| Siloed systems with no lineage | **Explainable reasoning paths** |
+| | **Source-level provenance** |
+| | **Audit-ready compliance** |
+
+### The Cost of Missing Semantics
+
+- **Decisions cannot be explained** — No transparency in AI reasoning
+- **Errors cannot be traced** — No way to debug or improve
+- **Conflicts go undetected** — Contradictory information causes failures
+- **Compliance becomes impossible** — No audit trails for regulations
+
+**Trustworthy AI requires semantic accountability.**

+checksum = compute_checksum(data)
+print(f"Checksum: {checksum}")
+```
+
+**Performance:** 1.29-110ms (100-10,000 entities)
+
+---
+
+### verify_checksum
+
+Verify data integrity using stored checksum.
+
+#### Function Signature
+
+```python
+def verify_checksum(snapshot: Dict[str, Any]) -> bool:
+    """
+    Verify data integrity using checksum.
+    
+    Args:
+        snapshot: Snapshot dictionary with 'checksum' field
+        
+    Returns:
+        True if checksum is valid, False otherwise
+    """
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `snapshot` (Dict[str, Any]): Snapshot dictionary with 'checksum' field
+
+**Returns:**
+- `bool`: True if checksum is valid, False otherwise
+
+**Example:**
+```python
+from semantica.change_management import verify_checksum
+
+snapshot = manager.get_version("v1.0")
+is_valid = verify_checksum(snapshot)
+
+if not is_valid:
+    print("WARNING: Data integrity compromised!")
+```
+
+**Performance:** 0.82-96ms (100-10,000 entities)
+
+---
+
+## Legacy Classes
+
+### VersionManager
+
+Original ontology version manager (moved from `semantica.ontology`).
+
+#### Import
+
+```python
+from semantica.change_management import VersionManager, OntologyVersion
+```
+
+**Note:** This class is maintained for backward compatibility. New projects should use `OntologyVersionManager`.
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### ValidationError
+
+Raised when input validation fails.
+
+**Common Causes:**
+- Invalid email format
+- Description exceeds 500 characters
+- Invalid ISO 8601 timestamp
+- Missing required fields
+
+**Example:**
+```python
+from semantica.utils.exceptions import ValidationError
+
+try:
+    entry = ChangeLogEntry(
+        timestamp="invalid",
+        author="not-an-email",
+        description="x" * 501
+    )
+except ValidationError as e:
+    print(f"Validation failed: {e}")
+```
+
+### ProcessingError
+
+Raised when operations fail.
+
+**Common Causes:**
+- Database connection issues
+- File system errors
+- Concurrent modification conflicts
+
+**Example:**
+```python
+from semantica.utils.exceptions import ProcessingError
+
+try:
+    storage.save(snapshot)
+except ProcessingError as e:
+    print(f"Save failed: {e}")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Benchmarks
+
+Based on comprehensive performance testing:
+
+| Component | Small (100) | Medium (500) | Large (2000) |
+|-----------|-------------|--------------|--------------|
+| Snapshot Creation | 2.33ms | 10.70ms | 54.23ms |
+| Version Retrieval | 1.88ms | 7.33ms | 26.04ms |
+| Version Comparison | 3.46ms | 17.39ms | 32.83ms |
+| Checksum Compute | 1.29ms | 5.48ms | 22.15ms |
+| SQLite Save | 8.69ms | 13.37ms | 25.33ms |
+| InMemory Save | 1.18ms | 10.60ms | 14.11ms |
+
+### Optimization Tips
+
+1. **Use appropriate storage backend:**
+   - Development: `InMemoryVersionStorage`
+   - Production: `SQLiteVersionStorage`
+
+2. **Batch operations when possible:**
+   ```python
+   for data in batch:
+       manager.create_snapshot(data, ...)
+   ```
+
+3. **Implement retention policies:**
+   ```python
+   # Delete old versions periodically
+   for version in old_versions:
+       storage.delete(version['label'])
+   ```
+
+4. **Use concurrent operations:**
+   - Thread-safe: 500+ operations/second
+   - No performance degradation under load
+
+---
+
+## Compliance Features
+
+### HIPAA Compliance
+
+- Complete audit trails with author attribution
+- Timestamp tracking for all changes
+- Data integrity verification with checksums
+- Secure storage with access controls
+
+### SOX Compliance
+
+- Immutable change records

+- Audit trail generation
+- Tamper detection
+
+---
+
+## Examples
+
+### Complete Healthcare Example
+
+```python
+from semantica.change_management import TemporalVersionManager
+
+# Initialize with HIPAA-compliant storage
+manager = TemporalVersionManager(storage_path="hipaa_records.db")
+
+# Patient knowledge graph
+patient_kg = {

+    "relationships": [
+        {"source": "patient_001", "target": "diagnosis_001", "type": "has_diagnosis"}
+    ]
+}
+
+# Create versioned record
+snapshot = manager.create_snapshot(
+    patient_kg,
+    "patient_001_v1.0",
+    "dr.williams@hospital.com",

+Version Storage Module
+
+This module provides abstract storage interfaces and concrete implementations
+for persistent version management in Semantica.
+
+Key Features:
+    - Abstract VersionStorage interface
+    - In-memory storage implementation
+    - SQLite-based persistent storage implementation
+    - Checksum computation and validation
+    - Thread-safe operations
+
+Main Classes:
+    - VersionStorage: Abstract base class for storage backends
+    - InMemoryVersionStorage: Dictionary-based in-memory storage
+    - SQLiteVersionStorage: SQLite-based persistent storage
+
+Example Usage:
+    >>> from semantica.common.version_storage import SQLiteVersionStorage
+    >>> storage = SQLiteVersionStorage("versions.db")
+    >>> storage.save(snapshot)
+    >>> versions = storage.list_all()
