+
+### Added
+
+#### OVSM Language Enhancements (crates/ovsm v1.0.4)
+- ✨ **Python-style aliases** (3 new):
+  - `len()` - Python-style length (alias for length)
+  - `chr(code)` - Character code to Unicode character with emoji support
+  - `ord(char)` - Character to Unicode code point
+
+- ✨ **JavaScript-style aliases** (8 new):
+  - `parseInt()` - Parse integer (alias for int)
+  - `parseFloat()` - Parse float (alias for float)
+  - `includes()` - Check substring/item presence (alias for contains)
+  - `charAt(str, index)` - Get character at index (UTF-8 safe, returns "" for out-of-bounds)
+  - `toLowerCase()` - Convert string to lowercase
+  - `toUpperCase()` - Convert string to uppercase
+  - `substring(str, start, end)` - Extract substring (auto-swaps if start > end)
+  - `lastIndexOf(collection, item)` - Find last occurrence (returns -1 if not found)
+
+- ✨ **Haskell-style aliases** (3 new):
+  - `cdr` - List tail (alias for rest/tail)
+  - `foldl` - Left fold (alias for reduce)
+  - `foldr` - Right fold (alias for reduce)
+
+- ✨ **Object introspection** for dynamic field discovery in AI prompts
+- ✨ **Full Unicode support** in chr/ord functions (handles emojis correctly)
+- ✨ **JavaScript behavior compatibility** (substring swaps indices, charAt bounds handling)
+
+#### MCP Integration Improvements

+- ✨ Improved AI formatting for blockchain results
+- ✨ SOL decimal conversion fixes for accurate balance display
+- ✨ Updated system prompts reflecting MCP auto-unwrapping behavior
+
+#### Documentation
