+
+## 2025-10-23 - 1.19.0 - feat(mod_commit)
+Add CLI UI helpers and improve commit workflow with progress, recommendations and summary
+
+- Introduce ts/mod_commit/mod.ui.ts: reusable CLI UI helpers (pretty headers, sections, AI recommendation box, step printer, commit summary and helpers for consistent messaging).
+- Refactor ts/mod_commit/index.ts: use new UI functions to display AI recommendations, show step-by-step progress for baking commit info, generating changelog, staging, committing, bumping version and optional push; include commit SHA in final summary.

+Improve commit workflow: detect project type and current branch; add robust version bump helpers for npm/deno
+
+- Add mod_commit/mod.helpers.ts with utilities: detectCurrentBranch(), detectProjectType(), bumpProjectVersion(), bumpDenoVersion(), bumpNpmVersion(), syncVersionToDenoJson(), and calculateNewVersion()
+- Refactor ts/mod_commit/index.ts to use the new helpers: bumpProjectVersion(projectType, ... ) instead of a hard npm version call and push the actual current branch instead of hardcoding 'master'
+- Support bumping versions for npm-only, deno-only, and hybrid (both) projects and synchronize versions from package.json to deno.json when applicable
+- Improve branch detection with a fallback to 'master' and informative logging on detection failures
+- Add local Claude settings file (.claude/settings.local.json) (editor/CI config) — no code behavior change but included in diff
+
+## 2025-09-07 - 1.18.7 - fix(claude)

+
+- Add .claude/settings.local.json to configure allowed permissions for local AI/tooling helpers (Bash commands, WebFetch, and mcp_serena actions).

+
+## 2025-09-07 - 1.18.6 - fix(deps)
+Bump dependency versions and add local Claude settings
+
+- Updated devDependencies: @git.zone/tsbuild ^2.6.4 → ^2.6.8, @git.zone/tstest ^2.3.4 → ^2.3.6, @push.rocks/smartfile ^11.2.5 → ^11.2.7
+- Updated dependencies: @git.zone/tsdoc ^1.5.1 → ^1.5.2, @git.zone/tspublish ^1.10.1 → ^1.10.3, @push.rocks/smartlog ^3.1.8 → ^3.1.9, @push.rocks/smartnpm ^2.0.4 → ^2.0.6, @push.rocks/smartscaf ^4.0.17 → ^4.0.19

+
+## 2025-08-16 - 1.18.3 - fix(services)
+Simplify S3 endpoint handling in ServiceConfiguration to store host only
+
+- S3_ENDPOINT now stores the raw host (e.g. 'localhost') instead of a full URL with protocol and port.
+- Default .nogit/env.json creation uses the host-only S3_ENDPOINT.
+- Sync/update logic (when syncing with Docker or reconfiguring ports) sets S3_ENDPOINT to the host only.
+- Consumers that previously relied on S3_ENDPOINT containing protocol and port should now construct the full endpoint URL using S3_USESSL, S3_HOST and S3_PORT.
+

+- Recreate containers automatically if detected container port mappings differ from configuration (MongoDB and MinIO)
+- Add reconfigure method and new CLI command to reassign ports and optionally restart services
+- Improve status output to show configured ports and port availability information
+- Minor helpers and imports updated (DockerContainer injected into ServiceConfiguration)

+
+Effortlessly manage local MongoDB and MinIO (S3-compatible) services for your development environment:
+
+```bash
+gitzone services [command]
+```
+
+**Available commands:**
+
+- **`start [service]`** - Start services (mongo|s3|all)
+- **`stop [service]`** - Stop services (mongo|s3|all)
+- **`restart [service]`** - Restart services
+- **`status`** - Show current service status

+- **`clean`** - Remove containers AND data (⚠️ destructive)
+
+**Key features:**
+
+- 🎲 **Smart port assignment** - Automatically assigns random ports (20000-30000) to avoid conflicts
+- 📦 **Project isolation** - Each project gets its own containers with unique names
+- 💾 **Data persistence** - Data stored in `.nogit/` directories survives container restarts
+- 🔗 **MongoDB Compass support** - Instantly get connection strings for GUI access
+- 🌐 **Network IP detection** - Automatically detects your local network IP for remote connections
+- ⚙️ **Auto-configuration** - Creates `.nogit/env.json` with smart defaults
+
+**Example workflow:**
+
+```bash
+# Start all services for your project
+gitzone services start
+
+# Check what's running
+gitzone services status
+
+# Get MongoDB Compass connection string
+gitzone services compass

+
+# View MongoDB logs
+gitzone services logs mongo 50
+
+# Stop services when done
+gitzone services stop
+```

+7. **Use MongoDB Compass**: `gitzone services compass` for visual DB management
 
 ## 🐛 Troubleshooting
 
 ### Format Command Shows "Cancelled"
+
 If the format command shows cancelled even after confirming:
+
 - Check your `npmextra.json` configuration
 - Try with `--yes` flag to skip confirmation
 - Use `--verbose` for detailed output
 
 ### Docker Commands Fail
+
 Ensure Docker daemon is running:
+
 ```bash
 docker info
 ```
 
+### Services Won't Start
+
+Check for port conflicts:
+
+```bash
+# Services auto-assign ports, but you can check the config
+cat .nogit/env.json
+
+# Verify Docker is running
+docker ps
+```
+
 ### Template Creation Issues
+
 Verify npm/pnpm is properly configured:
+
 ```bash
 npm config get registry
 ```
 
+### MongoDB Connection Issues
+
+- Ensure services are running: `gitzone services status`
+- Check firewall settings for the assigned ports
+- Use `gitzone services compass` for the correct connection string
+
 ## 📈 Performance
 
 gitzone is optimized for speed:
+
 - **Parallel processing** for format operations
 - **Smart caching** to avoid redundant work
 - **Incremental updates** for meta repositories
 - **Minimal dependencies** for fast installation
+- **Isolated services** prevent resource conflicts
+- **Auto port assignment** eliminates manual configuration

-### 8. Improved Template Integration ⏳
-- [ ] Better error handling when smartscaf operations fail
-- [ ] Add pre/post template hooks for custom processing
-- [ ] Validate template results before proceeding with format
-- [ ] Support skipping template updates via configuration
+## Command Examples
+```bash
+gitzone services start          # Start all services
+gitzone services start mongo    # Start only MongoDB
+gitzone services stop           # Stop all services
+gitzone services status         # Check service status
+gitzone services config         # Show configuration
+gitzone services compass        # Show MongoDB Compass connection string
+gitzone services logs mongo 50  # Show last 50 lines of MongoDB logs
+gitzone services remove         # Remove containers (preserve data)
+gitzone services clean          # Remove containers and data
+```
 
-### 9. Enhanced License Management ⏳
-- [ ] Make license checking configurable (partial)
-- [ ] Add license compatibility matrix
-- [x] Support license exceptions for specific packages
-- [ ] Generate license report for compliance
