 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-10-28 - 4.0.18 - fix(smartcli)
+Allow passing argv to startParse and improve getUserArgs Deno/runtime handling; update tests and add license
+
+- Smartcli.startParse now accepts an optional testArgv parameter to bypass automatic runtime detection (makes testing deterministic).
+- getUserArgs logic refined: always prefer Deno.args when available (handles Deno run and compiled executables reliably) and improve execPath fallback and slicing behavior for Node/Bun/other launchers.
+- Tests updated: test/test.node+deno+bun.ts now passes process.argv explicitly to startParse to avoid Deno.args interference in test environments.
+- Added MIT LICENSE file and a local .claude/settings.local.json for environment/permission settings.
+
 ## 2025-10-28 - 4.0.17 - fix(license)
 Add MIT license and local Claude settings
