+no changes to commit
+
+
+## 2026-04-16 - 2.14.0 - feat(cli)

+
+- introduces shared CLI mode handling for human, plain, and JSON output with configurable interactivity and update checks
+- adds read-only JSON support for `commit recommend`, `format plan`, and command help output
+- expands `config` and `services` commands with non-interactive config inspection and service enablement flows
+- updates format and smartconfig handling to respect non-interactive execution and fail clearly when required metadata is missing
+
+## 2026-04-16 - 2.13.16 - fix(mod_format)
+stop package.json formatter from modifying buildDocs and dependency entries
+
+- removes automatic buildDocs script injection from the package.json formatter

+no changes to commit
+
+
+## 2026-03-24 - 2.13.14 - fix(mod_format)

+- Removes create/delete change planning for config renames and applies only content updates within the formatter
+
+## 2026-03-24 - 2.13.13 - fix(vscode-template)
+update VS Code schema matching to use .smartconfig.json
+
+- Changes the VS Code template settings so the JSON schema applies to /.smartconfig.json instead of /npmextra.json.
+
+## 2026-03-24 - 2.13.12 - fix(mod_format)
+render format templates through smartscaf before comparing generated files
+
+- adds smartscaf-based in-memory template rendering so supplied variables are applied before detecting changes
+- supports release.accessLevel as a fallback when selecting public vs private CI templates
+- matches rendered output by template or destination path to handle renamed files from template frontmatter
+
+## 2026-03-24 - 2.13.10 - fix(config)
+migrate configuration handling from npmextra to smartconfig
+
+- replace @push.rocks/npmextra with @push.rocks/smartconfig across config, commit, format, and service modules
+- switch managed project config file references from npmextra.json to smartconfig.json
+- update formatting and package metadata checks to include smartconfig.json
+- extend the gitignore template with Rust build output directories
+
+## 2026-03-11 - 2.13.9 - fix(deps,readme)
+bump dependencies and update README to prefer pnpm and document semantic commit flags
+
+- Dev dependency updates: @git.zone/tsbuild -> ^4.3.0, @git.zone/tstest -> ^3.3.2, @types/node -> ^25.4.0
+- Dependency upgrades: @git.zone/tsdoc -> ^2.0.0, @git.zone/tspublish -> ^1.11.2, @push.rocks/lik -> ^6.3.1, @push.rocks/smartfs -> ^1.5.0, @push.rocks/smartlog -> ^3.2.1, @push.rocks/smartstream -> ^3.4.0, prettier -> ^3.8.1 (and other minor/patch bumps)
+- README changes: prefer pnpm for global install, clarify format command dry-run behavior and --write flag, add and document gitzone commit flags (-y/--yes, -p/--push, -t/--test, -b/--build, -r/--release) and AI-powered commit workflow
+- No source code changes; this is a documentation and dependency refresh, recommend a patch release
+
+## 2026-03-05 - 2.13.8 - fix(dependencies)
+move runtime tooling packages from devDependencies to dependencies
+
+- Removed @push.rocks/smartdelay, @push.rocks/smartinteract, @push.rocks/smartnetwork, and @push.rocks/smartshell from devDependencies and added them to dependencies
+- No package version numbers were changed; this ensures the moved packages are installed for consumers at runtime
+
+## 2026-03-05 - 2.13.7 - fix(deps)
+bump devDependencies: @git.zone/tsbuild to ^4.1.4 and @push.rocks/smartshell to ^3.3.7
+
+- Updated @git.zone/tsbuild from ^4.1.2 to ^4.1.4 (patch)
+- Updated @push.rocks/smartshell from ^3.3.0 to ^3.3.7 (patch)
+
+## 2026-02-01 - 2.13.6 - fix(templates/npm)
+use tsbuild tsfolders instead of --web flag in npm template build script
+
+- Changed build script in assets/templates/npm/.package.json from "(tsbuild --web --allowimplicitany)" to "(tsbuild tsfolders --allowimplicitany)"
+- Replaces --web flag with explicit tsfolders argument to correctly target project folders during build
+
+## 2026-02-01 - 2.13.5 - fix(templates/npm)
+update npm template: tweak test script, bump devDependencies, add smartpath dependency, and fix ts import path
+
+- test script updated: '(tstest test/ --web)' -> '(tstest test/ --verbose --logfile --timeout 60)'
+- devDependencies bumped: @git.zone/tsbuild ^3.1.2 -> ^4.1.2, @git.zone/tsrun ^2.0.0 -> ^2.0.1, @git.zone/tstest ^3.1.3 -> ^3.1.8, @types/node ^24.10.1 -> ^25.2.0
+- dependencies: added @push.rocks/smartpath ^6.0.0
+- TypeScript template import fixed: './{{module.name}}.plugins.js' -> './plugins.js'
+
+## 2025-12-18 - 2.13.3 - fix(tsconfig)
+remove experimentalDecorators and useDefineForClassFields from TypeScript configuration files
+
+- Removed "experimentalDecorators": true from assets/templates/multienv/deno.json and tsconfig.json
+- Removed "useDefineForClassFields": false from tsconfig.json
+- This change alters TypeScript/Deno compiler behavior: decorator support and legacy class-field initialization semantics may be affected; code relying on those may need updates
+
+## 2025-12-16 - 2.13.2 - fix(deps)
+bump @git.zone/tspublish to ^1.11.0
+
+- Updated dependency @git.zone/tspublish from ^1.10.3 to ^1.11.0 in package.json

+## 2025-12-16 - 2.13.1 - fix(npmextra)
+merge old npmextra keys into new keys during migration, preserving existing new values
+
+- Changed migration logic to merge data when both old and new keys exist instead of skipping the merge.
+- Merge preserves existing new-key values (old values do not overwrite new ones) and still deletes the old key after migration.
+- Applied the fix in both ts/mod_format/format.npmextra.ts and ts/mod_format/formatters/npmextra.formatter.ts.
+- Adds a console log for successful migrations; behavior for single-key rename remains unchanged.
+
+## 2025-12-16 - 2.13.0 - feat(tests)
+feat(tests): add sandbox test fixture, CI and editor configs; bump deps
+
+- Added comprehensive test/ fixture (sandbox-npmts) including package.json, npmextra.json, readme, GitLab CI (.gitlab-ci.yml), .npmrc, VSCode launch/settings and qenv.yml
+- Added test sources and helper files under test/test and test/ts (browser and node tests, commitinfo data, simple library code)
+- Updated dependencies in package.json: @git.zone/tsdoc -> ^1.11.4, @push.rocks/smartfs -> ^1.3.1
+
+## 2025-12-15 - 2.12.2 - fix(cli)
+noop: no changes
+
+- No source or documentation changes detected in the diff; nothing to release.
+- Package version remains unchanged at 2.12.1.
+
+## 2025-12-15 - 2.12.1 - fix(cli)
+No changes detected — no version bump required
+
+- Current package version: 2.12.0
+- No files changed in this commit
+- No release or version bump necessary
+
+## 2025-12-15 - 2.12.0 - feat(ci,test)
+feat(ci/test): add test scaffold, GitLab CI, update gitea workflows and .gitignore
+
+- Add comprehensive test/ scaffold including sample tests, test package.json, npmextra.json, test fixtures and TypeScript test sources
+- Add GitLab CI pipeline (test/.gitlab-ci.yml), test-specific .npmrc, VSCode launch/settings and supporting qenv/readme files for CI/local test runs
+- Update .gitea workflow YAML files to use templated placeholders and corrected container image path for CI execution
+- Update .gitignore to exclude AI assistant and tooling dirs (.claude/, .serena/) and add test/.gitignore to ignore test artifacts
+- Update changelog and documentation files to reflect recent formatter/commit/service changes and the new test/CI additions
+
+## 2025-12-15 - 2.11.1 - fix(mod_format/formatters)
+
+fix(packagejson.formatter): correctly parse scoped package dependency arguments and default to latest
+
+- Handle scoped packages (e.g. @scope/name@version) by detecting the last '@' after the scope slash so package name and version are split correctly.
+- Fallback to 'latest' when no version is provided.
+- Fixes earlier incorrect splitting on every '@' which broke scoped package names.
+
+## 2025-12-15 - 2.11.0 - feat(mod_format)
+
+feat(mod_format): use unified diff formatter with filenames and context in BaseFormatter.displayDiff
+
+- Replaced plugins.smartdiff.formatLineDiffForConsole(...) with plugins.smartdiff.formatUnifiedDiffForConsole(...) when both before and after are present.
+- Passes originalFileName and revisedFileName as diff.path and sets context to 3 to show a unified diff with surrounding lines.
+- Improves console output for multi-line diffs by using unified diff format and including file names.
+
+## 2025-12-15 - 2.10.0 - feat(mod_format)
+
+Refactor formatting modules to new BaseFormatter and implement concrete analyze/apply logic
+
+- Replace generic LegacyFormatter with explicit BaseFormatter implementations for formatters: copy, gitignore, license, npmextra, packagejson, prettier, readme, templates, tsconfig (legacy.formatter.ts removed).
+- Copy formatter: implemented pattern-based copying, template-preserve path handling, content equality check and planned change generation/apply.
+- Gitignore formatter: canonical template with preservation of custom section when updating/creating .gitignore.
+- License formatter: added runtime license check against node_modules for incompatible licenses and reporting (no file changes).
+- Npmextra formatter: automatic migrations for old namespace keys to package-scoped keys and migration of npmAccessLevel -> @git.zone/cli.release.accessLevel; reformatting and interactive prompting to fill missing repo metadata.
+- Package.json formatter: enforces repository/metadata, sets module type/private/license/scripts/files, ensures/updates dependencies (including fetching latest via registry), and applies pnpm overrides from assets.
+- Prettier formatter: added check() to compute diffs by running Prettier and returning per-file before/after diffs.
+- Readme formatter: create readme.md and readme.hints.md when missing with default content.
+- Templates formatter: apply templates from templatesDir based on project type (vscode, CI, docker, website/service/wcc), compare template vs destination and create/modify files as needed; ensures dest directories exist.
+- Tsconfig formatter: sets compilerOptions.baseUrl and computes path mappings from @git.zone/tspublish modules.
+- General: extensive use of plugins (smartfs, path, smartnpm, smartinteract, smartobject, smartlegal), improved logging and verbose messages.
+
+## 2025-12-15 - 2.9.0 - feat(format)
+
+Add --diff option to format command to display file diffs; pass flag through CLI and show formatter diffs. Bump @git.zone/tsdoc to ^1.11.0.
+
+- Add a diff boolean option to mod_format to enable showing file diffs during format operations.
+- CLI change: pass argvArg.diff into the options so the --diff flag is honored by the format command.
+- When diff is enabled, run formatter.check() for each active formatter and call displayAllDiffs() for those with differences, with informational logging.
+- Update dependency @git.zone/tsdoc from ^1.10.2 to ^1.11.0.
+
+## 2025-12-15 - 2.8.0 - feat(commit)
+
+Add commit configuration and automatic pre-commit tests
+
+- Add CommitConfig class to manage @git.zone/cli.commit settings in npmextra.json (alwaysTest, alwaysBuild).
+- Export CommitConfig from mod_config for use by the CLI.
+- Add 'gitzone config commit' subcommand with interactive and direct-setting modes (alwaysTest, alwaysBuild).
+- Merge CLI flags and npmextra config: -t/--test and -b/--build now respect commit.alwaysTest and commit.alwaysBuild.
+- Run 'pnpm test' early in the commit flow when tests are enabled; abort the commit on failing tests and log results.
+- Update commit UI/plan to show the test option and include the test step when enabled.
+- Add 'gitzone config services' entry to configure services via ServiceManager.
+
+## 2025-12-14 - 2.7.0 - feat(mod_format)
+
+Add check-only formatting with interactive diff preview; make formatting default to dry-run and extend formatting API
+
+- Add BaseFormatter.check(), displayDiff() and displayAllDiffs() to compute and render diffs without applying changes.
+- Extend runFormatter API with new options: write (use to apply changes), checkOnly (only check for diffs), and showDiff (display diffs). When checkOnly is used, runFormatter returns an ICheckResult.
+- Change default formatting behavior to dry-run. Use --write / -w to actually apply changes. CLI format command updated to respect --write/-w.
+- Add formatNpmextraWithDiff in mod_config to preview diffs for npmextra.json and prompt the user before applying changes; calls to add/remove/clear registries and set access level now use this preview flow.
+- Project.fromCwd now accepts an options object ({ requireProjectType?: boolean }) so callers can skip the projectType requirement when appropriate; runFormatter no longer requires projectType for certain formatters.
+- Introduce a list of formatters that don't require projectType: npmextra, prettier, cleanup, packagejson.
+- Export the ICheckResult type from the formatter module and update mod_format interfaces to include ICheckResult.
+- Bump dependency @push.rocks/smartdiff to ^1.1.0.
+
+## 2025-12-14 - 2.6.1 - fix(npmextra)
+
+Normalize npmextra.json: move tsdoc legal entry and reposition @git.zone/cli configuration
+
+- Move TSDoc legal text into a top-level "tsdoc.legal" property in npmextra.json
+- Remove the misplaced "gitzone" object that previously contained the TSDoc legal block
+- Reorder and properly nest the "@git.zone/cli" configuration to follow the new "tsdoc" section
+- Pure configuration change (JSON structure) — no functional code changes
+
+## 2025-12-14 - 2.6.0 - feat(mod_commit)
+
+Add execution plan output to commit command
+
+- Print an execution plan at the start of the commit flow (shows active options and planned steps)
+- New printExecutionPlan(options) added to ts/mod_commit/mod.ui.ts
+- Commit command now calls ui.printExecutionPlan(...) before running format or other steps
+- Execution plan reflects flags: auto-accept (-y), push (-p), build (-b), release (-r), --format, and target registries
+
+## 2025-12-14 - 2.5.0 - feat(mod_standard)
+
+Add interactive main menu and help to standard CLI module; route commands via dynamic imports
+
+- Introduce interactive CLI menu using @push.rocks/smartinteract to prompt user for actions.

+- Add showHelp() helper to display usage and available commands.
+- Remove previous static template listing and logger.warn placeholder.
+
+## 2025-12-14 - 2.4.0 - feat(cli)
+
+Add optional build step to release flow and auto-format npmextra config when registries change
+
+- Introduce a --build/-b flag in the commit/release flow to run 'pnpm build' before pushing/releases
+- Verify the working tree is clean after the build and abort the release if build produces uncommitted changes
+- Increase total step counting to include build and verification steps in the UI progress output
+- Add a runFormatter utility to the formatting module to execute a single formatter programmatically
+- Wire runFormatter('npmextra') into mod_config so npmextra.json is formatted automatically after add/remove/clear/access operations
+- Add npmextra registry config entry (https://verdaccio.lossless.digital) to npmextra.json
+
+## 2025-12-14 - 2.3.0 - feat(config)
+
+Add interactive menu and help to config command, handle unknown commands, and bump dependencies
+
+- When running the 'config' command with no arguments, show an interactive menu (via SmartInteract) to choose actions (show, add, remove, clear, access, help) instead of defaulting to 'show'.
+- Add explicit 'help' subcommand and log an error for unknown commands before showing help.
+- Update devDependencies: @git.zone/tsbuild -> ^4.0.2, @types/node -> ^25.0.2.
+- Update dependency: @push.rocks/smartjson -> ^6.0.0.
+
+## 2025-12-04 - 2.2.1 - fix(commit)
+
+Prevent auto-accept for BREAKING CHANGE commits; require manual confirmation and warn when --yes is used
+
+- Do not auto-accept AI commit recommendations when the suggested change is a BREAKING CHANGE (major bump).
+- Only auto-accept recommendations when -y/--yes is provided and the change is not breaking.
+- When --yes is provided but the recommendation is a breaking change, log a warning and fall back to interactive confirmation.
+- Introduced isBreakingChange and canAutoAccept flags to centralize the auto-accept logic.
+
+## 2025-12-02 - 2.2.0 - feat(services)
+
+Improve services manager and configuration; switch test templates to @git.zone/tstest; bump dev dependencies and update docs
+
+- services: Add robust ServiceConfiguration (creates .nogit/env.json with sane defaults, syncs ports from existing Docker containers, validates and can reconfigure ports)
+- services CLI: improved start/stop/restart flows, better logging/help output and enhanced global commands (list/status/stop/cleanup)
+- templates/tests: replace @push.rocks/tapbundle with @git.zone/tstest and update template test.ts to export default tap.start()
+- format: stop auto-updating tslint template and mark @push.rocks/tapbundle as deprecated in package formatting logic
+- dependencies: bump @git.zone/tsbuild, @git.zone/tsrun, @git.zone/tstest, @git.zone/tsdoc, @push.rocks/projectinfo, @push.rocks/smartpath, @push.rocks/smartfs, prettier and other dev deps
+- docs: README updates — add issue reporting/security section, AI-powered commit recommendation notes, and clarify trademark/legal wording
+
+## 2025-11-29 - 2.1.0 - feat(mod_services)
+
+Add global service registry and global commands for managing project containers
+
+- Introduce GlobalRegistry class to track registered projects, their containers, ports and last activity (ts/mod_services/classes.globalregistry.ts)
+- Add global CLI mode for services (use -g/--global) with commands: list, status, stop, cleanup (ts/mod_services/index.ts)
+- ServiceManager now registers the current project with the global registry when starting services and unregisters when all containers are removed (ts/mod_services/classes.servicemanager.ts)
+- Global handlers to list projects, show aggregated status, stop containers across projects and cleanup stale entries
+- Bump dependency @push.rocks/smartfile to ^13.1.0 in package.json
+
+## 2025-11-27 - 2.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(core)
+
+Migrate filesystem to smartfs (async) and add Elasticsearch service support; refactor format/commit/meta modules
+
+- Replace @push.rocks/smartfile usage with @push.rocks/smartfs across the codebase; all filesystem operations are now async (SmartFs.file(...).read()/write(), SmartFs.directory(...).list()/create()/delete(), etc.)
+- Convert formerly synchronous helpers and APIs to async (notable: detectProjectType, getProjectName, readCurrentVersion and related version bumping logic). Callers updated accordingly.
+- Add Elasticsearch support to services: new config fields (ELASTICSEARCH\_\*), Docker run/start/stop/logs/status handling, and ELASTICSEARCH_URL in service configuration.
+- Refactor formatting subsystem: cache and rollback/backup systems removed/disabled for stability, format planner execution simplified (sequential), diff/stats reporting updated to use smartfs.
+- Update package.json dependencies: bump @git.zone/tsbuild, tsrun, tstest; upgrade @push.rocks/smartfile to v13 and add @push.rocks/smartfs dependency; update @types/node.
+- Update commit flow and changelog generation to use smartfs for reading/writing files and to await version/branch detection where necessary.
+- Expose a SmartFs instance via plugins and adjust all mod.\* plugin files to import/use smartfs where required.
+- Breaking change: Public and internal APIs that previously used synchronous smartfile APIs are now asynchronous. Consumers and scripts must await these functions and use the new smartfs API.
+
+## 2025-11-17 - 1.21.5 - fix(tsconfig)
+
+Remove emitDecoratorMetadata from tsconfig template
+
+- Removed the "emitDecoratorMetadata" compiler option from assets/templates/tsconfig_update/tsconfig.json
+- This updates the tsconfig template to avoid emitting decorator metadata when targeting ES2022
+
+## 2025-11-17 - 1.21.4 - fix(tsconfig template)
+
+Remove experimentalDecorators and useDefineForClassFields from tsconfig template

+- Removed useDefineForClassFields option from assets/templates/tsconfig_update/tsconfig.json
+
+## 2025-11-17 - 1.21.3 - fix(assets/templates/multienv)
+
+Remove unused Bun configuration template (assets/templates/multienv/bunfig.toml)
+
+- Deleted assets/templates/multienv/bunfig.toml which previously provided Bun TypeScript decorator configuration
+- Cleans up stale/unused template to avoid shipping obsolete Bun config
+- No functional code changes; removes an unused asset file
+
+## 2025-11-17 - 1.21.2 - fix(templates/multienv)
+
+Disable useDefineForClassFields in multienv TypeScript configs to ensure decorator compatibility
+
+- Set useDefineForClassFields = false in assets/templates/multienv/bunfig.toml to keep Bun's transpiler compatible with decorator usage
+- Set "useDefineForClassFields": false in assets/templates/multienv/deno.json to ensure Deno/TypeScript compiler emits class fields compatible with decorators
+
+## 2025-11-17 - 1.21.1 - fix(templates.multienv)
+
+Enable checkJs in multienv Deno template to enable JS type checking
+

+
+Add multi-env templates enabling TypeScript decorators for Bun and Deno; rename npmextra config key to szci
+
+- Added assets/templates/multienv/bunfig.toml to enable Bun TypeScript transpiler experimentalDecorators
+- Added assets/templates/multienv/deno.json with experimentalDecorators, lib and target set for ES2022
+- Updated npmextra.json: renamed top-level config key from "npmci" to "szci" (keeps npmGlobalTools, npmAccessLevel and npmRegistryUrl unchanged)
+
+## 2025-11-06 - 1.20.0 - feat(commit)
+
+Add non-interactive --yes (-y) flag to commit command to auto-accept AI recommendations and optionally push with -p
+
+- Add -y / --yes flag to gitzone commit to auto-accept AI-generated commit recommendations without interactive prompts
+- Support -yp or -y -p combinations to auto-accept and push to origin; -p / --push remains the separate control for pushing
+- Implementation creates a smartinteract AnswerBucket programmatically when -y is used and populates commitType, commitScope, commitDescription and pushToOrigin
+- Preserves existing UI output and interactive flow when -y is not used; fully backward compatible and CI/CD friendly
+- Updated CLI usage and documentation (readme.hints.md) to document the new flags
+
+## 2025-11-05 - 1.19.9 - fix(mod_commit)
+
+Refactor version bumping to a unified implementation for npm and Deno; remove npm-exec based helpers and add file-based version readers/updaters to avoid npm warning pollution
+
+- Removed legacy npm/deno-specific helpers (bumpNpmVersion, syncVersionToDenoJson, bumpDenoVersion) that relied on executing npm and caused warning pollution
+- Added readCurrentVersion() to read version from package.json or deno.json
+- Added updateVersionFile() helper to write version directly into JSON files
+- Added unified bumpProjectVersion() that handles npm, deno and both with a single code path; reuses calculateNewVersion()
+- Stages updated files, commits v<newVersion> and creates a tag v<newVersion>
+- Benefits: no npm warning pollution in deno.json, simpler git history, consistent behavior across project types
+
+## 2025-11-04 - 1.19.8 - fix(package.json)
+
+Bump @git.zone/tsdoc dependency to ^1.9.2

+
+Bump @git.zone/tsdoc to ^1.8.3 and add local .claude settings for allowed permissions
+
+- Updated dependency @git.zone/tsdoc from ^1.8.2 to ^1.8.3
+- Added .claude/settings.local.json to declare allowed permissions for local tooling (Bash commands, Docker, npm, WebFetch and MCP actions)

+
+## 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).

+
+## 2025-10-23 - 1.18.9 - fix(mod_commit)
+
+Stage and commit deno.json when bumping/syncing versions and create/update git tags
+
+- bumpDenoVersion now creates a Smartshell instance and runs git add deno.json, git commit -m "v<newVersion>", and git tag v<newVersion> to persist the version bump
+- syncVersionToDenoJson now stages deno.json, amends the npm version commit with --no-edit, and recreates the tag with -fa to keep package.json and deno.json in sync
+- Added informative logger messages after creating commits and tags
+
+## 2025-10-23 - 1.18.8 - fix(mod_commit)
+
+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)

+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.
+
+## 2025-08-16 - 1.18.1 - fix(services)
+
+Improve services and commit flow: stop AiDoc, use silent docker inspect, sync ports with logging, fix config loading, and bump deps

+
+Add Docker port mapping sync and reconfigure workflow for local services
+
+- Add getPortMappings to DockerContainer to extract port bindings from docker inspect output
+- Sync existing container port mappings into .nogit/env.json when loading/creating service configuration

+- 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)
+- Add .claude/settings.local.json (local permissions config) to repository
+
+## 2025-08-15 - 1.17.5 - fix(services)

+8. **Split Commit/Release Workflows**: `commit` creates source commits; `release` owns versioning, tags, and artifact publishing
+
+### Commit/Release Workflow Refactor (Latest)
+
+The commit module no longer bumps versions, creates tags, or publishes packages. Release work now belongs to `gitzone release`:
+
+**Changes:**
+
+- `gitzone commit` analyzes changes, updates `changelog.md` `Pending`, commits, and optionally pushes.
+- `gitzone release` reads `Pending`, bumps versions, moves changelog entries into a version section, tags, pushes, and publishes configured artifacts.
+- Commit workflow steps are configured in `.smartconfig.json` under `@git.zone/cli.commit.steps`.
+- Smartconfig schema versioning lives at `@git.zone/cli.schemaVersion`; run `gitzone config migrate <version>` for targeted migrations.
+- Release publishing is target-based under `@git.zone/cli.release.targets`.
+- NPM registries only live under `@git.zone/cli.release.targets.npm.registries`.
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- Commit is safer and has no publishing side effects.
+- Multiple source commits can accumulate into one release via `Pending`.
+- Per-artifact release results can distinguish published, already-published, skipped, and failed targets.
+
+### Auto-Accept Flag for Commits
+
+The commit module now supports `-y/--yes` flag for non-interactive commits:
+
+**Usage:**
+
+- `gitzone commit -y` - Auto-accepts AI recommendations without prompts
+- `gitzone commit -yp` - Auto-accepts and pushes to origin
+- Separate `-p/--push` flag controls push behavior
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+- Creates AnswerBucket programmatically when `-y` flag detected
+- Preserves all UI output for transparency
+- Fully backward compatible with interactive mode
+- CI/CD friendly for automated workflows
 
 ## Development Tips
 
 - Always check readme.plan.md for ongoing improvement plans
-- Use npmextra.json for any new configuration options
+- Use `.smartconfig.json` for any new configuration options
 - Keep modules focused and single-purpose
 - Maintain the existing plugin pattern for dependencies
 - Test format operations on sample projects before deploying

 ## API Changes
 
-- smartfile API updated to use fs._ and memory._ namespaces
+### Smartfile v13 Migration (Latest - Completed)
+
+The project has been fully migrated from @push.rocks/smartfile v11 to v13, which introduced a major breaking change where filesystem operations were split into two separate packages:
+
+**Packages:**
+
+- `@push.rocks/smartfile` v13.0.1 - File representation classes (SmartFile, StreamFile, VirtualDirectory)
+- `@push.rocks/smartfs` v1.1.0 - Filesystem operations (read, write, exists, stat, etc.)
+
+**Key API Changes:**
+
+1. **File Reading**:
+   - Old: `plugins.smartfile.fs.toStringSync(path)` or `plugins.smartfile.fs.toObjectSync(path)`
+   - New: `await plugins.smartfs.file(path).encoding('utf8').read()` + JSON.parse if needed
+   - Important: `read()` returns `string | Buffer` - use `as string` type assertion when encoding is set
+
+2. **File Writing**:
+   - Old: `plugins.smartfile.memory.toFs(content, path)` or `plugins.smartfile.memory.toFsSync(content, path)`
+   - New: `await plugins.smartfs.file(path).encoding('utf8').write(content)`
+
+3. **File Existence**:
+   - Old: `plugins.smartfile.fs.fileExists(path)` or `plugins.smartfile.fs.fileExistsSync(path)`
+   - New: `await plugins.smartfs.file(path).exists()`
+
+4. **Directory Operations**:
+   - Old: `plugins.smartfile.fs.ensureDir(path)`
+   - New: `await plugins.smartfs.directory(path).recursive().create()`
+   - Old: `plugins.smartfile.fs.remove(path)`
+   - New: `await plugins.smartfs.directory(path).recursive().delete()` or `await plugins.smartfs.file(path).delete()`
+
+5. **Directory Listing**:
+   - Old: `plugins.smartfile.fs.listFolders(path)` or `plugins.smartfile.fs.listFoldersSync(path)`
+   - New: `await plugins.smartfs.directory(path).list()` then filter by `stats.isDirectory`
+   - Note: `list()` returns `IDirectoryEntry[]` with `path` and `name` properties - use `stat()` to check if directory
+
+6. **File Stats**:
+   - Old: `stats.isDirectory()` (method)
+   - New: `stats.isDirectory` (boolean property)
+   - Old: `stats.mtimeMs`
+   - New: `stats.mtime.getTime()`
+
+7. **SmartFile Factory**:
+   - Old: Direct SmartFile instantiation
+   - New: `plugins.smartfile.SmartFileFactory.nodeFs()` then factory methods
+
+**Migration Pattern:**
+All sync methods must become async. Functions that were previously synchronous (like `getProjectName()`) now return `Promise<T>` and must be awaited.
+
+**Affected Modules:**
+
+- ts/mod_format/\* (largest area - 15+ files)
+- ts/mod_commit/\* and ts/mod_release/\* (commit/release workflows)
+- ts/mod_services/\* (configuration management)
+- ts/mod_meta/\* (meta repository management)
+- ts/mod_standard/\* (template listing)
+- ts/mod_template/\* (template operations)
+
+**Previous API Changes:**
+
 - smartnpm requires instance creation: `new NpmRegistry()`
-- All file operations now use updated APIs
 - Type imports use `import type` for proper verbatim module syntax

 # @git.zone/cli 🚀
 
-**The ultimate CLI toolbelt for modern TypeScript development workflows**
+`@git.zone/cli` is the development workflow CLI behind the `gitzone` and `gzone` commands. It helps TypeScript-heavy teams keep projects tidy, create semantic source commits, manage local Docker-backed services, scaffold new modules, and release software through explicit, target-based release configuration.
 
-[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@git.zone/cli.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@git.zone/cli)
+It is opinionated where that saves time: source commits and releases are separate, changelog entries flow through a standard `Pending` section, project config lives in `.smartconfig.json`, and release targets make side effects visible before they happen.

-## 🎯 What is gitzone?
+## Issue Reporting and Security
 
-gitzone is a powerful command-line interface that supercharges your development workflow with automated project management, intelligent code formatting, and seamless version control. Whether you're bootstrapping a new TypeScript project, maintaining code quality, or managing complex multi-repository setups, gitzone has got you covered.
+For reporting bugs, issues, or security vulnerabilities, please visit [community.foss.global/](https://community.foss.global/). This is the central community hub for all issue reporting. Developers who sign and comply with our contribution agreement and go through identification can also get a [code.foss.global/](https://code.foss.global/) account to submit Pull Requests directly.
 
-## 🏃‍♂️ Quick Start
+## Install
-
-### Installation
 
 ```bash
-# Install globally via npm
-npm install -g @git.zone/cli
-
-# Or with pnpm (recommended)
 pnpm add -g @git.zone/cli
 ```
 
-Once installed, you can use either `gitzone` or the shorter `gzone` command from anywhere in your terminal.
+After installation, both binaries point to the same CLI:
-
-### Your First Command
 
 ```bash
-# Create a new TypeScript npm package
+gitzone --help
-gitzone template npm
+gzone --help
+```
 
-# Format your entire codebase
+## The Big Idea
+
+`gitzone commit` handles source history.
+
+`gitzone release` handles release transactions.
+
+That split is intentional. A commit should not unexpectedly publish npm packages, push Docker images, or trigger remote release pipelines. A release should clearly show which targets it will publish to.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Preview project standardization work
 gitzone format
 
-# Create a semantic commit
+# Apply formatting changes
+gitzone format --write
+
+# Create a semantic source commit
 gitzone commit
+
+# Preview the configured release transaction
+gitzone release --plan
+
+# Release pending changelog entries to configured targets
+gitzone release
 ```
 
-## 🛠️ Core Features
+## Commands
 
-### 📦 Project Templates
+| Command | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `commit` | Analyze changes and create one semantic source commit |
+| `release` | Turn pending changelog entries into a versioned release and publish targets |
+| `format` | Plan or apply project formatting and standardization |
+| `config` | Inspect, update, and migrate `.smartconfig.json` |
+| `services` | Manage local MongoDB, MinIO, and Elasticsearch containers |
+| `tools` | Manage the global `@git.zone` toolchain |
+| `template` | Scaffold projects from built-in templates |
+| `meta` | Manage multi-repository workspaces |
+| `open` | Open repository assets like CI pages |
+| `docker` | Run Docker maintenance tasks |
+| `deprecate` | Deprecate npm packages across registries |
+| `start` | Prepare an existing project for local work |
+| `helpers` | Run small helper utilities |
 
-Instantly scaffold production-ready projects with best practices built-in:
+Global flags include `--help`, `--json`, `--plain`, `--agent`, `--no-interactive`, and `--no-check-updates`.
+
+## Toolchain Management
+
+`gitzone tools` replaces the former `gtools` command from `@git.zone/tools`. It manages globally installed `@git.zone` development tools through pnpm.
 
 ```bash
-gitzone template [template-name]
+# Check installed @git.zone tools and update outdated packages
+gitzone tools update
+
+# Update without prompts
+gitzone tools update -y
+
+# Install missing managed @git.zone tools
+gitzone tools install

-**Available templates:**
+`gitzone tools update` checks `@git.zone/cli` first. If the CLI itself needs an update, it updates `@git.zone/cli` and asks you to rerun the command before updating the rest of the toolchain.
 
-- **`npm`** - TypeScript npm package with testing, CI/CD, and full tooling
+## Commit Workflow
-- **`service`** - Microservice architecture with Docker support
-- **`website`** - Modern web application with LitElement and service workers
-- **`wcc`** - Web Component Collection for reusable UI components
 
-Each template comes pre-configured with:
+`gitzone commit` creates one semantic source commit. It does not bump versions, create tags, publish packages, or push Docker images.

-### 🔀 Semantic Commits & Versioning
-
-Create standardized commits that automatically handle versioning:
 
 ```bash
+# Interactive semantic commit
 gitzone commit
+
+# Read-only AI recommendation
+gitzone commit recommend --json
+
+# Auto-accept safe recommendations
+gitzone commit -y
+
+# Auto-accept, test, build, and push
+gitzone commit -ytbp
+
+# Show the resolved workflow without mutating anything
+gitzone commit --plan
 ```
 
-Features:
+The commit flow:
 
-- 📝 Interactive commit message builder
+1. Analyze the working tree.
-- 🏷️ Automatic version bumping (major/minor/patch)
+2. Suggest commit type, scope, and message.
-- 📜 Changelog generation
+3. Write a human-readable entry into `changelog.md` under `## Pending`.
-- 🚀 Optional auto-push to origin
+4. Stage and create one semantic source commit.
-- 🎯 Conventional commit compliance
+5. Optionally run formatting, tests, build, and push based on flags or config.
 
-The commit wizard guides you through:
+Commit flags:
 
-1. **Type selection** (feat/fix/docs/style/refactor/perf/test/chore)
+| Flag | Meaning |
-2. **Scope definition** (component/module affected)
+| --- | --- |
-3. **Description crafting**
+| `-y`, `--yes` | Auto-accept safe recommendations |
-4. **Breaking change detection**
+| `-t`, `--test` | Add test step |
-5. **Version bump determination**
+| `-b`, `--build` | Add build step |
+| `-p`, `--push` | Push after the source commit |
+| `-f`, `--format` | Run `gitzone format --write` before commit |
+| `--plan` | Show resolved workflow only |
 
-### 🏗️ Meta Repository Management
+`-r` is intentionally not part of commit anymore. Use `gitzone release`.
 
-Manage multiple related repositories as a cohesive unit:
+## Release Workflow
+
+`gitzone release` performs the release core once, then publishes to configured targets.
+
+The release core is not configurable plumbing. It always follows the same professional release transaction:
+
+1. Run configured preflight checks.
+2. Read `changelog.md` `## Pending` entries.
+3. Infer or accept a semver bump.
+4. Update version files and baked commit info.
+5. Move pending changelog entries into the new version section.
+6. Create the local release commit.
+7. Create the local release tag.
+
+Targets decide what happens after that:
+
+| Target | What it does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `git` | Pushes the release commit and tags, often triggering remote CI release builds |
+| `npm` | Publishes the package to configured npm registries |
+| `docker` | Builds and pushes configured Docker images |
 
 ```bash
-# Initialize a meta repository
+# Preview the resolved release plan
-gitzone meta init
+gitzone release --plan
 
-# Add a sub-project
+# Release to configured targets
-gitzone meta add [name] [git-url]
+gitzone release
 
-# Update all sub-projects
+# Release only to npm
-gitzone meta update
+gitzone release --target npm
 
-# Remove a sub-project
+# Release only to git and Docker
-gitzone meta remove [name]
+gitzone release --target git,docker
+
+# Skip package/container publishing and keep only git target
+gitzone release --no-publish
+
+# Override inferred semver level
+gitzone release --minor
 ```
 
-Perfect for:
+Release flags:
 
-- Monorepo management
+| Flag | Meaning |
-- Multi-package projects
+| --- | --- |
-- Coordinated deployments
+| `-y`, `--yes` | Run without interactive confirmation |
-- Synchronized versioning
+| `-t`, `--test` | Enable preflight tests |
+| `-b`, `--build` | Enable preflight build |
+| `-p`, `--push` | Enable the `git` target |
+| `--target <csv>` | Use only selected targets, e.g. `git,npm` |
+| `--npm` | Enable the `npm` target |
+| `--docker` | Enable the `docker` target |
+| `--no-publish` | Keep release core and `git` target only |
+| `--no-build` | Disable preflight build for this run |
+| `--major`, `--minor`, `--patch` | Override inferred semver level |
+| `--plan` | Show resolved workflow only |
 
-### 🐳 Docker Management
+## Standard Changelog
 
-Streamline your Docker workflow:
+The changelog is convention-based and intentionally not configured.
 
-```bash
+`gitzone commit` appends entries to:
-# Clean up all Docker resources
+
-gitzone docker prune
+```markdown
+## Pending
 ```
 
-This command removes:
+`gitzone release` moves those pending entries into a dated version section:
 
-- Stopped containers
+```markdown
-- Unused images
+## 2026-05-10 - 2.15.0
-- Dangling volumes
-- Unused networks
-
-### 🔗 Quick CI/CD Access
-
-Jump directly to your CI/CD configurations:
-
-```bash
-# Open CI/CD settings
-gitzone open ci
-
-# Open pipelines view
-gitzone open pipelines
 ```
 
-Works with GitLab repositories to provide instant access to your deployment configurations.
+The standard buckets are `Breaking Changes`, `Features`, `Fixes`, `Documentation`, and `Maintenance`.
 
-### 📝 Package Deprecation
+## Configuration
 
-Smoothly transition users from old to new packages:
+All CLI config lives under `@git.zone/cli` in `.smartconfig.json`.
-
-```bash
-gitzone deprecate
-```
-
-Interactive wizard for:
-
-- Setting deprecation notices
-- Guiding users to replacements
-- Updating registry metadata
-- Coordinating migration paths
-
-### 🚦 Project Initialization
-
-Prepare existing projects for development:
-
-```bash
-gitzone start
-```
-
-Automatically:
-
-- Checks out master branch
-- Pulls latest changes
-- Installs dependencies
-- Sets up development environment
-
-### 🔧 Helper Utilities
-
-Quick utilities for common tasks:
-
-```bash
-# Generate a unique short ID
-gitzone helpers shortid
-```
-
-## 📋 Configuration
-
-### npmextra.json Configuration
-
-Customize gitzone behavior through `npmextra.json`:
 
 ```json
 {
-  "gitzone": {
+  "@git.zone/cli": {
-    "format": {
+    "schemaVersion": 2,
-      "interactive": true,
+    "projectType": "npm",
-      "showDiffs": false,
+    "commit": {
-      "autoApprove": false,
+      "confirmation": "prompt",
-      "parallel": true,
+      "steps": ["analyze", "test", "build", "changelog", "commit", "push"]

+          "enabled": false,
+          "images": []
+        }
       }
     }
   }
 }
 ```
 
-### Environment Variables
+NPM registries belong only here:
 
-- `CI` - Detect CI environment for automated workflows
+```text
-- `DEBUG` - Enable debug output
+@git.zone/cli.release.targets.npm.registries
-- `GITZONE_FORMAT_PARALLEL` - Control parallel formatting
+```
 
-## 🏆 Best Practices
+Useful config commands:
-
-### For New Projects
-
-1. Start with a template: `gitzone template npm`
-2. Customize the generated structure
-3. Run initial format: `gitzone format`
-4. Set up CI/CD: `gitzone open ci`
-
-### For Existing Projects
-
-1. Initialize: `gitzone start`
-2. Format codebase: `gitzone format --dry-run` (preview first!)
-3. Apply formatting: `gitzone format --yes`
-4. Commit changes: `gitzone commit`
-
-### For Teams
-
-1. Document format preferences in `npmextra.json`
-2. Use `--save-plan` for reviewable format changes
-3. Enable rollback for safety
-4. Standardize commit conventions
-
-## 🎯 Common Workflows
-
-### Clean Development Cycle
 
 ```bash
-# 1. Start fresh
+# Show current @git.zone/cli config
-gitzone start
+gitzone config show --json
 
-# 2. Make changes
+# Read the npm release target registries
-# ... your development work ...
+gitzone config get release.targets.npm.registries
 
-# 3. Format code
+# Add an npm release target registry
+gitzone config add https://registry.npmjs.org
+
+# Set npm target access level
+gitzone config access public
+
+# Run schema migration to v2
+gitzone config migrate 2
+```
+
+## Formatting
+
+`gitzone format` is dry-run by default. That makes it safe to run in any repo.
+
+```bash
+# Preview changes
 gitzone format
 
-# 4. Commit with semantic versioning
+# Emit a machine-readable plan
-gitzone commit
+gitzone format plan --json
 
-# 5. Deploy (if CI/CD configured)
+# Apply changes
-# Automatic via git push
+gitzone format --write
+
+# Apply without prompt
+gitzone format --write --yes
 ```
 
-### Multi-Repository Management
+Formatters include cleanup, smartconfig normalization, dependency license checks, package metadata normalization, template updates, `.gitignore`, TypeScript config, Prettier, README existence checks, and configured copy operations.
+
+## Development Services
+
+`gitzone services` manages local Docker-backed services for development projects.
+
+Supported services:
+
+| Service | Aliases |
+| --- | --- |
+| MongoDB | `mongo`, `mongodb` |
+| MinIO | `minio`, `s3` |
+| Elasticsearch | `elasticsearch`, `es` |
+
+```bash
+# Start configured services
+gitzone services start
+
+# Enable specific services non-interactively
+gitzone services set mongodb,minio
+
+# Check status
+gitzone services status
+
+# Print MongoDB Compass connection string
+gitzone services compass
+
+# Show logs
+gitzone services logs mongo 50
+
+# Stop containers but keep data
+gitzone services stop
+
+# Remove containers and data
+gitzone services clean
+```
+
+Service config is stored in `.nogit/env.json`. Data is stored below `.nogit/`, so it stays out of Git.
+
+## Templates
+
+Start new projects with built-in scaffolds:
+
+```bash
+gitzone template npm
+gitzone template service
+gitzone template website
+gitzone template wcc
+```
+
+Templates are rendered through SmartScaf and then can be normalized with `gitzone format`.
+
+## Meta Repositories
+
+Use `gitzone meta` when one workspace coordinates multiple repositories.
 
 ```bash
-# 1. Set up meta repository
 gitzone meta init
-
+gitzone meta add frontend https://example.com/org/frontend.git
-# 2. Add all related projects
-gitzone meta add frontend https://github.com/org/frontend.git
-gitzone meta add backend https://github.com/org/backend.git
-gitzone meta add shared https://github.com/org/shared.git
-
-# 3. Synchronize updates
 gitzone meta update
+gitzone meta remove frontend
 ```
 
-### Safe Formatting with Rollback
+## Other Utilities
 
 ```bash
-# 1. Preview changes
+# Docker cleanup
-gitzone format --dry-run
+gitzone docker prune
 
-# 2. Save plan for review
+# Open GitLab CI settings or pipelines for the current repo
-gitzone format --save-plan format-changes.json
+gitzone open ci
+gitzone open pipelines
 
-# 3. Apply formatting
+# Deprecate an old npm package interactively
-gitzone format --from-plan format-changes.json
+gitzone deprecate
 
-# 4. If something goes wrong, rollback
+# Prepare a project for local work
-gitzone format --rollback
+gitzone start
+
+# Generate a short unique ID
+gitzone helpers shortid
 ```
 
-## 🔌 Integrations
+## Troubleshooting
 
-### CI/CD Platforms
+Format only previews changes:
 
-- **GitLab CI** - Full pipeline support with templates
+```bash
-- **GitHub Actions** - Automated workflows
+gitzone format --write
-- **Docker** - Container-based deployments
+```
 
-### Development Tools
+Release says there is nothing to release:
 
-- **TypeScript** - First-class support
+```bash
-- **Prettier** - Code formatting
+# Make sure commits have populated the Pending changelog section
-- **ESLint** - Linting (via format modules)
+gitzone commit
-- **npm/pnpm** - Package management
+```
 
-### Version Control
+Docker services fail to start:
-
-- **Git** - Deep integration
-- **Semantic Versioning** - Automatic version bumping
-- **Conventional Commits** - Standardized commit messages
-
-## 💡 Pro Tips
-
-1. **Use aliases**: Add `alias gz='gitzone'` to your shell profile
-2. **Combine commands**: `gitzone format --yes && gitzone commit`
-3. **Leverage templates**: Start projects right with proven structures
-4. **Enable caching**: Dramatically speeds up formatting operations
-5. **Save format plans**: Review changes before applying in production
-
-## 🐛 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
+gitzone services status
+gitzone services reconfigure
 ```
 
-### Template Creation Issues
+Config looks outdated:
-
-Verify npm/pnpm is properly configured:
 
 ```bash
-npm config get registry
+gitzone config migrate 2
+gitzone config show --json
 ```
 
-## 📈 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

-   - Basic configuration support
-   - Exception handling for specific packages
-   - Need: compatibility matrix, compliance reports
-
-2. **Package.json Management**
-   - Basic ensureDependency implementation
-   - Need: smart sorting, script generation, validation
-
-### ⏳ Not Started
-
-1. **Plugin System**
-
-   - Need to design plugin API
-   - Hook system for pre/post operations
-   - Custom validation rules
