v3.3.7

Children now get their own process group. Terminal Ctrl+C only reaches
the parent, which then does orderly tree-kill while children are still
alive and the process tree is intact.

 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-03-05 - 3.3.7 - fix(smartshell)
+avoid triple shell nesting, improve WSL path filtering, and use chunked log buffer to reduce memory usage
+
+- Spawn uses the executor shell binary directly (e.g. /bin/bash) and removes extra bash -c wrapping to avoid triple shell nesting
+- Only filter out /mnt/c/ and other WSL-specific PATH entries when running under WSL (adds _isWSL detection)
+- Replace single concatenated Buffer with chunked buffering in ShellLog (lazy concatenation, logLength property) and update checks to use logLength
+- Remove unused dependency "tree-kill" from package.json
+
+## 2026-03-04 - 3.3.6 - fix(smartshell)
+use 'close' event on child processes to ensure exit handling and update dependency versions
+
+- Replace child_process 'exit' listeners with 'close' in ts/classes.smartshell.ts (two occurrences) to ensure handlers run after stdio streams are closed.
+- Bump devDependencies: @git.zone/tsbuild ^2.7.3 -> ^4.1.2, @git.zone/tsrun ^1.6.2 -> ^2.0.1, @git.zone/tstest ^2.8.3 -> ^3.2.0, @types/node ^22.19.13 -> ^25.3.3.
+- Bump dependencies: @push.rocks/smartexit ^2.0.1 -> ^2.0.3, which ^5.0.0 -> ^6.0.1.
+
+## 2026-03-03 - 3.3.2 - fix(release)
+add @git.zone/cli release configuration with registries and public access
+
+- Updated file: npmextra.json
+- Added @git.zone/cli.release.registries: https://verdaccio.lossleess.digital, https://registry.npmjs.org
+- Set @git.zone/cli.release.accessLevel to "public"
+
 ## 2026-03-03 - 3.3.1 - fix(deps)
 bump @push.rocks/smartexit dependency to ^1.1.1
