- System info (obsidian_get_version, obsidian_list_vaults)

### ❌ User Story 5 - Advanced Features (P5) - REMOVED
**Reason**: Power-user features; reduces complexity and maintenance burden

Removed Tools (45 total):
- **Daily Notes** (6 tools): open_daily_note, daily_append, daily_prepend, etc.
- **Templates** (3 tools): list_templates, read_template, insert_template
- **Bookmarks** (5 tools): create_bookmark, list_bookmarks, bookmark_file, etc.

## Impact Summary

### Before Removal
- **5 User Stories** (US1-US5)
- **95 Total Tools**
- **165 Total Tasks**
- **19 Functional Requirements** (FR-001 to FR-025, with gaps)

### After Removal
- **3 User Stories** (US1-US3)
- **20 Total Tools** (20 implemented, 0 planned for US3)
- **98 Total Tasks** (67 tasks removed, 40% reduction)
- **19 Functional Requirements** (FR-001 to FR-019, renumbered sequentially)

### Benefits
- ✅ Clearer MVP scope (file ops + search + tasks)
- ✅ Faster time to production-ready bundle
- ✅ Reduced testing and maintenance surface area
- ✅ Simpler documentation and user onboarding
- ✅ Focus on 80% use cases rather than comprehensive coverage

### Future Expansion
If needed, US4 and US5 can be added later as separate releases:
