+## [1.6.0] - 2026-07-02
+
+### Added
+
+- `bl knowledge search` — semantic search across knowledge bases using the new workspace-based RAG API. Supports `--query`, `--agent-id`, `--workspace-id`, `--image` (multimodal retrieval, repeatable), and `--query-history` (JSON conversation context for multi-turn query rewriting).
+- `bl knowledge chat` — knowledge-base Q&A with SSE streaming. Supports `--message` (repeatable, with `role:content` prefix for multi-turn history), `--agent-id`, `--workspace-id`, and `--image` (multimodal). Displays real-time progress with step-change labels (retrieval, planning, generation) in interactive mode.
+- `bailian-cli-core` gains new types and endpoints for the workspace-based knowledge API: `KnowledgeSearchRequest` / `KnowledgeSearchResponse`, `KnowledgeChatRequest` / `KnowledgeChatStreamChunk` / `KnowledgeChatMessage` / `KnowledgeChatContentPart`, and `knowledgeSearchEndpoint` / `knowledgeChatEndpoint`.
+- `kscli` now ships `search` and `chat` commands alongside the existing `retrieve`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `bl knowledge retrieve` is now marked as deprecated in its description; use `bl knowledge search` instead.
+- `kscli` README (EN + ZH) updated to feature `search` and `chat` as the primary commands, with `retrieve` marked deprecated.
+

+## [1.6.0] - 2026-07-02
+
+### 新增
+
+- `bl knowledge search` — 基于新版 workspace RAG API 的知识库语义检索。支持 `--query`、`--agent-id`、`--workspace-id`、`--image`（多模态检索，可重复）和 `--query-history`（多轮对话上下文 JSON，用于查询重写）。
+- `bl knowledge chat` — 知识库 SSE 流式问答。支持 `--message`（可重复，支持 `角色:内容` 前缀传入多轮历史）、`--agent-id`、`--workspace-id` 和 `--image`（多模态）。交互模式下实时展示检索、规划、生成等步骤进度。
+- `bailian-cli-core` 新增 workspace 级知识 API 类型与端点：`KnowledgeSearchRequest` / `KnowledgeSearchResponse`、`KnowledgeChatRequest` / `KnowledgeChatStreamChunk` / `KnowledgeChatMessage` / `KnowledgeChatContentPart`，以及 `knowledgeSearchEndpoint` / `knowledgeChatEndpoint`。
+- `kscli` 现已包含 `search` 和 `chat` 命令。
+
+### 变更
+
+- `bl knowledge retrieve` 描述中已标记为废弃，请改用 `bl knowledge search`。
+- `kscli` README（中英文）更新，以 `search` 和 `chat` 为主推命令，`retrieve` 标记为废弃。

+
+#### Notes
+
+- Response is returned as SSE stream events. Event lifecycle: tool_calling → tool_return → plan_start → planning → plan_end → generation_start → generating → generation_end. tool_calling → tool_return may loop multiple times.
+- Auth: uses DashScope API Key (Bearer token). Get yours from the console API Key page.
+- `--workspace-id` can be set via BAILIAN_WORKSPACE_ID env or `kscli config set workspace_id <id>`.
+- Multi-turn: use --message "user:..." and --message "assistant:..." to pass conversation history.
+
+#### Examples
+
+```bash
+bl knowledge chat --message "What is RAG?" --agent-id aid-xxx --workspace-id ws-xxx
+```
+
+```bash
+bl knowledge chat --message "user:What is RAG?" --message "assistant:RAG is..." --message "How does it work?" --agent-id aid-xxx --workspace-id ws-xxx

+| `--workspace-id <id>`    | string | no       | Workspace ID for API endpoint URL (or set BAILIAN_WORKSPACE_ID)                                                                                                              |

+| `--query-history <json>` | string | no       | User conversation history JSON for context understanding and query rewriting. Format: '[{"role":"user","content":"What is RAG"},{"role":"assistant","content":"RAG is..."}]' |
+
+#### Notes
+
+- Retrieval scope and strategy (multi-index weighting, routing, reranking, etc.) are driven by the agent_id service config. Only query and agent_id are required.
+- Auth: uses DashScope API Key (Bearer token). Get yours from the console API Key page.
+- `--workspace-id` can be set via BAILIAN_WORKSPACE_ID env or `kscli config set workspace_id <id>`.
+- `--query-history` passes prior conversation turns; the server rewrites the query based on context to improve retrieval relevance.
+
+#### Examples
+
+```bash
+bl knowledge search --query "What is RAG?" --agent-id aid-xxx --workspace-id ws-xxx
+```
+
+```bash
+bl knowledge search --api-key $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY --query "test search" --agent-id aid-xxx --workspace-id ws-xxx --image https://example.com/img.jpg
+```
+
+```bash
+bl knowledge search --query "How does it work" --agent-id aid-xxx --workspace-id ws-xxx --query-history '[{"role":"user","content":"What is RAG"},{"role":"assistant","content":"RAG is retrieval-augmented generation"}]'
+```
