 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-03-12 - 2.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(cli)
+remove legacy container test runner and make the default command show the man page
+
+- Removes legacy testing and VS Code commands, including `runinside`, `vscode`, generated Dockerfile assets, and related configuration fields (`baseImage`, `command`, `dockerSock`, `keyValueObject`)
+- Simplifies configuration and dependencies by dropping qenv-based env loading and unused legacy packages
+- Updates CLI and documentation to reflect default help output and the current build/push-focused workflow
+
 ## 2026-02-07 - 1.17.4 - fix()

 | Images lost between build and push phases | Persistent storage at `.nogit/docker-registry/` survives restarts |
 | Redundant blob uploads on incremental pushes | HEAD checks skip blobs that already exist on the remote |
 
+### 🔁 Resilient Push
+
+The OCI Distribution API client wraps every HTTP request with:
+
+- **Timeouts** — 5-minute timeout for blob operations, 30-second timeout for auth/metadata calls via `AbortSignal.timeout()`
+- **Automatic Retry** — Up to 6 attempts with exponential backoff (1s → 2s → 4s → 8s → 16s → 32s)
+- **Smart Retry Logic** — Retries on network errors (`ECONNRESET`, `fetch failed`) and 5xx server errors; does NOT retry 4xx client errors
+- **Token Refresh** — On 401 responses, the cached auth token is cleared so the next retry re-authenticates automatically
+
+This means transient issues like stale connection pools, brief network blips, or token expiry during long multi-arch pushes (56+ blob operations) are handled gracefully instead of killing the entire transfer.
+
+### 🏭 CI-Safe Session Isolation
+
+Every tsdocker invocation gets its own **session** with unique:
+
+- **Session ID** — Random 8-char hex (override with `TSDOCKER_SESSION_ID`)
+- **Registry port** — Dynamically allocated (override with `TSDOCKER_REGISTRY_PORT`)
+- **Registry container** — Named `tsdocker-registry-<sessionId>`
+- **Builder suffix** — In CI, the buildx builder gets a `-<sessionId>` suffix to prevent collisions
+
+This prevents resource conflicts when multiple CI jobs run tsdocker in parallel. Auto-detected CI systems:
+
+| Environment Variable | CI System |
+|---------------------|-----------|
+| `GITEA_ACTIONS` | Gitea Actions |
+| `GITHUB_ACTIONS` | GitHub Actions |
+| `GITLAB_CI` | GitLab CI |
+| `CI` | Generic CI |
+
+In local dev, no suffix is added — keeping a persistent builder for faster rebuilds.

+### 🎯 Dockerfile Filtering
+
+Build or push only the Dockerfiles you need. Positional arguments are matched against Dockerfile basenames as glob patterns:
+
+```bash
+# Build a single Dockerfile
+tsdocker build Dockerfile_base
+
+# Glob patterns with * and ? wildcards
+tsdocker build Dockerfile_app*
+
+# Multiple patterns
+tsdocker build Dockerfile_base Dockerfile_web
+
+# Push specific images without rebuilding
+tsdocker push --no-build Dockerfile_api
+```
+
+When filtering for `build`, **dependencies are auto-resolved**: if `Dockerfile_app` depends on `Dockerfile_base`, specifying only `Dockerfile_app` will automatically include `Dockerfile_base` in the build order.
