 # Changelog

+## 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

 ## 🛠️ Core Features

+### 🔀 Semantic Commits & Versioning
+
+Create standardized commits with AI-powered suggestions that automatically handle versioning:
+
+```bash
+# Interactive commit with AI recommendations
+gitzone commit
+
+# Auto-accept AI recommendations (skipped for BREAKING CHANGEs)
+gitzone commit -y
+
+# Auto-accept, push, build, and release
+gitzone commit -ypbr
+```
+
+**Flags:**
+
+| Flag | Long Form | Description |
+|------|-----------|-------------|
+| `-y` | `--yes` | Auto-accept AI recommendations |
+| `-p` | `--push` | Push to remote after commit |
+| `-t` | `--test` | Run tests before committing |
+| `-b` | `--build` | Build after commit, verify clean tree |
+| `-r` | `--release` | Publish to configured npm registries |
+| | `--format` | Run format before committing |
+
+**Workflow steps:**
+
+1. 🤖 **AI-powered analysis** — analyzes your changes and suggests commit type, scope, and message
+2. 📝 Interactive commit message builder (type: `fix`/`feat`/`BREAKING CHANGE`, scope, description)
+3. 📜 Automatic changelog generation
+4. 🏷️ Automatic version bumping (major/minor/patch) with git tag creation
+5. 🔨 Optional build & verification
+6. 🚀 Optional push to origin
+7. 📦 Optional publish to npm registries
+
+Supports both npm (`package.json`) and Deno (`deno.json`) projects, including dual-type projects.
+
+### 🎨 Intelligent Code Formatting
+
+Automatically format and standardize your entire codebase. **Dry-run by default** — nothing changes until you explicitly use `--write`:
+
+```bash
+# Preview what would change (default behavior)
+gitzone format
+
+# Apply changes
+gitzone format --write
+
+# Auto-approve without prompts
+gitzone format --yes --write
+
+# Show detailed diffs
+gitzone format --diff
+
+# Enable verbose logging
+gitzone format --verbose
+```
+
+**Flags:**
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `--write` / `-w` | Apply changes (default is dry-run) |
+| `--yes` | Auto-approve without interactive confirmation |
+| `--plan-only` | Only show what would be done |
+| `--save-plan <file>` | Save the format plan to a file |
+| `--from-plan <file>` | Load and execute a saved plan |
+| `--detailed` | Show detailed stats and save report |
+| `--parallel` / `--no-parallel` | Toggle parallel execution |
+| `--verbose` | Enable verbose logging |
+| `--diff` | Show file diffs |
+
+**Formatters (executed in order):**
+
+1. 🧹 **Cleanup** — removes obsolete files (yarn.lock, package-lock.json, tslint.json, etc.)
+2. ⚙️ **Npmextra** — formats and standardizes `npmextra.json`
+3. 📜 **License** — ensures proper licensing and checks dependency licenses
+4. 📦 **Package.json** — standardizes package configuration
+5. 📋 **Templates** — applies project template updates
+6. 🙈 **Gitignore** — updates repository ignore rules
+7. 🔧 **Tsconfig** — optimizes TypeScript configuration
+8. ✨ **Prettier** — applies code formatting
+9. 📖 **Readme** — ensures readme files exist
+10. 📂 **Copy** — copies configured files

- `CI` - Detect CI environment for automated workflows
- `DEBUG` - Enable debug output
- `GITZONE_FORMAT_PARALLEL` - Control parallel formatting
-
-## 🏆 Best Practices
-
-### For New Projects
-
-1. Start with a template: `gitzone template npm`
-2. Set up local services: `gitzone services start`
-3. Customize the generated structure
-4. Run initial format: `gitzone format`
-5. 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. Set up services: `gitzone services start`
-5. Commit changes: `gitzone commit`
-
-### For Teams
-
-1. Document format preferences in `npmextra.json`
-2. Share `.nogit/env.json` template for consistent service setup
-3. Use `--save-plan` for reviewable format changes
-4. Enable rollback for safety
-5. Standardize commit conventions

 1. **Use aliases**: Add `alias gz='gitzone'` to your shell profile
-2. **Combine commands**: `gitzone format --yes && gitzone commit`
+2. **Combine flags**: `gitzone commit -ypbr` for the full auto workflow
 3. **Leverage templates**: Start projects right with proven structures
 4. **Enable caching**: Dramatically speeds up formatting operations

+8. **Global service management**: `gitzone services status -g` to see all projects' services at once

 ## 🐛 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
+- Try with `--yes --write` flags
 - Use `--verbose` for detailed output
