# Engram v1.10.9 — Deferred Tools & Honest Update Checks

Reduces MCP session startup cost and makes version check failures visible.

## What's New

- **Deferred rare tools** — 4 infrequently-used MCP tools (`mem_delete`, `mem_update`, `mem_suggest_topic_key`, `mem_capture_passive`) are now deferred at session startup, reducing the initial token cost for agents that list available tools
- **Honest update check failures** — when the GitHub version check fails (network error, rate limit, etc.), the error is now surfaced in the TUI instead of being silently swallowed
