+
+- 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

+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)"

+
+## 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.

 ## 🛠️ 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
