+      - keyword search (substring match)
+      - semantic search (Jaccard + link-boost via HolographicLinker)
+      - linked entry traversal (BFS by depth)
+      - topic filtering and counts
+      - export (JSON/Markdown)
+      - graph data export (nodes + edges for 3D viz)
+      - graph clusters (connected components)
+      - hub entries (highest degree centrality)
+      - bridge entries (articulation points via DFS)
+      - tag management (add_tags, remove_tags, retag)
+      - entry update with content dedup (content_hash)
+      - find_duplicate (content hash matching)
+      - temporal queries (by_date_range, temporal_neighbors)
