+### Removed
+
+- **AI Summary feature temporarily removed** — the Copilot-powered AI summary generation has been fully removed pending a safer rollout (see [issue #20](https://github.com/Nimblesite/CommandTree/issues/20)). Reason: the previous activation path could silently fan out one Copilot request per discovered command on install and on every script edit, picking the first available model (often a premium one), which could consume a large share of a user's Copilot quota without warning. The feature will return once request volume is bounded, premium models are gated behind explicit consent, and the user is asked before any Copilot quota is spent.
+- `commandtree.enableAiSummaries` and `commandtree.aiModel` settings (no longer wired)
+- `commandtree.generateSummaries` and `commandtree.selectModel` commands (no longer wired)
+- All Copilot integration code (`semantic/summariser.ts`, `semantic/modelSelection.ts`) and the AI portions of `semantic/summaryPipeline.ts` and `summaryOrchestration.ts`
+
+### Notes
+
+- Tooltips still render any summaries already stored in the local SQLite DB; only generation is removed
+- Command discovery, registration, tagging, Quick Launch, and execution are unchanged
+

 ## Project Overview
 
-CommandTree is a VS Code extension that discovers and organizes runnable tasks (npm scripts, Makefiles, shell scripts, launch configs, etc.) into a unified tree view sidebar. It supports tagging, quick launch, AI-generated summaries, and 20+ task discovery providers.

-## AI Summaries (powered by GitHub Copilot)
+## AI Summaries — temporarily removed
 
-When [GitHub Copilot](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.copilot) is installed, CommandTree automatically generates plain-language summaries of every discovered command. Hover over any command to see what it does, without reading the script. Commands that perform dangerous operations (like `rm -rf` or force-push) are flagged with a security warning.
-
-Summaries are stored locally and only regenerate when the underlying script changes.
+The Copilot-powered AI summary feature has been **temporarily removed** in 0.11.0 while a safer rollout is designed (see [issue #20](https://github.com/Nimblesite/CommandTree/issues/20)). It will return once the extension can guarantee request volume is bounded, premium models are not used silently, and the user is asked before any Copilot quota is spent.
 
 ## Features
 
-- **AI Summaries** - GitHub Copilot describes each command in plain language, with security warnings for dangerous operations
 - **Auto-discovery** - 22 command types including shell scripts, npm, Make, Python, PowerShell, Gradle, Cargo, Maven, Docker Compose, .NET, C# Script, F# Script, Mise, and more
 - **Quick Launch** - Pin frequently-used commands to a dedicated panel at the top
 - **Tagging** - Right-click any command to add or remove tags
