 # Changelog
 
+## 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 routing to commands (commit, format, config, template, services, open, help) using dynamic imports.
+- 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
