Release v0.20.1

• Keep declared root YAML contract discovery aligned with repo file filtering so gitignored local/private YAML is not promoted into generated context.
• Seed missing .rabbit/README.md files so repos initialized by dev.kit repo have a clear Rabbit-facing notes surface without adding a generic docs/README.md stub.

Release v0.20.0

• Discover root YAML config contracts from explicit top-level contract / contracts metadata or typed kind + version manifests instead of filename-specific allowlists.
• Remove the deprecated worker-deployment deploy.yml surface and keep manifest discovery/dependency tracing covered by arbitrary typed root YAML such as work-conf.yaml.
• Add an explicit env-interface.yaml for dev.kit's own environment contract so config coverage comes from a repo-owned interface declaration.
• Document release strategy and pre-actions so PRs check the published version first, reserve the next version, update changes.md, regenerate context, and validate before merge.

Release v0.14.0

• Ignore command examples from docs/references/ when generating repo command contracts, preventing reference docs from creating misleading build or run commands.
• Add regression coverage for reference-only command examples so generated context stays tied to runnable repo-owned surfaces.
• Add release verification guidance that distinguishes GitHub release, npm registry, tarball, and npmjs.com UI evidence.
• Clarify manifest-heavy config contract validation guidance for optional local repo probes.
• Clarify stale-context output when generated context came from a different dev.kit version by showing both the generator and current versions.

Release v0.13.0

• Allow repo-owned manifests to satisfy config contract coverage when they declare explicit config contract metadata or runtime config sections, avoiding forced .env.example files for repos with custom manifest contracts.

Release v0.12.0

• Add generator source refs to .rabbit/context.yaml so generated context points to the dev.kit homepage, source repo, npm package, and installation guide.
• Validate generated context portability before writing it, rejecting machine-local absolute paths and excluding temporary context files from repo evidence.
• Add repo-owned context contract and output schema docs to clarify what dev.kit reads, emits, and must not own.
• Harden guarded command timeouts so child processes are cleaned up by process group without disabling timeout protection.

Release v0.11.0

• Expose repo-centric workflow status in dev.kit, dev.kit env, and dev.kit repo output so environment checks, context refresh, and gap repair appear as one repo-owned loop
• Clarify the repo contract boundary between deterministic structured parsing and interpreted prose/session intent
• Make real-repo validation read-only by default with guarded JSON reports, and move release probe values into repo-owned config

Release v0.10.0

• Remove dev.kit agent so .rabbit/context.yaml is the single generated repo contract
• Make dev.kit non-destructive at home: inspect env, summarize context status, and guide to dev.kit repo
• Add generator metadata to .rabbit/context.yaml (tool, repo, version, generated_at)
• Make dev.kit repo ensure a minimal default repo structure for empty repos: README.md, .github/dependabot.yml, .github/workflows/, .rabbit/, and docs/
• Add recommended tooling repo output for udx/worker, udx/reusable-workflows, and udx/github-rabbit-action
• Fix global --json routing so dev.kit --json <command> reaches the requested command instead of falling back to home output
• Add machine-readable JSON output for dev.kit uninstall --json --yes
• Ignore exported Copilot session transcripts so local session history does not leak into release diffs
• Add a repo-owned workflow reference doc for developer and agent best practices tied to dev.kit commands
• Add a normalized repo-owned AGENTS.md for this repo, sourced from the workflow reference doc
• Clarify docs for build-default vs runtime env contracts and workflow triggers when releases are created by automation
• Clarify that scripts and YAML manifests are the execution layer, while docs guide developer and agent decisions
• Add integration and repo-design docs covering local/remote usage, scope, limits, and how repo contracts fit pipelines

Release v0.9.0

• Add dev.kit env and env config controls so repo and agent output can reflect actual tool and credential availability
• Keep .rabbit/context.yaml focused on repo facts, tracing, commands, and gaps instead of inlining engineering practices and canonical workflow text
• Generate workflow guidance for AGENTS.md directly from the config catalogs and repo context, simplifying the boundary between repo context and agent behavior
• Rework the docs surface around that model: simplify the README, add focused installation, context, agents, and integration docs, and remove older overlapping overview/workflow/architecture pages
• Tighten GitHub-first workflow guidance across configs and generated agent instructions
• Remove dev.kit learn from the public command surface and trim the related configs, templates, and docs
• Clean up install and packaging flow with global npm postinstall cleanup and explicit npm-versus-curl ownership rules
• Improve manifest contract tracing with repo-owned evidence from top-level version headers, GitHub references, and actual usage paths
• Collapse duplicate dependency evidence into single repo entries and avoid false dependency traces from nested YAML metadata or placeholder GitHub refs
• Add optional tests/real-repos.sh coverage for local public/private repos and trim unused synthetic fixtures
• Add upgrade-first guidance to generated AGENTS.md and installation/experience docs so new sessions start from the current dev.kit build

Release v0.8.0

• Keep .rabbit/context.yaml focused on repo facts, tracing, commands, and gaps instead of inlining engineering practices and canonical workflow text
• Generate workflow and practice guidance for AGENTS.md directly from the config catalogs and learning sources, simplifying the boundary between repo context and agent behavior
• Rework the docs surface around that model: simplify the README, add focused installation, context, agents, and integration docs, and remove older overlapping overview/workflow/architecture pages
• Tighten GitHub-first workflow guidance across configs, generated agent instructions, and learned templates, including repo-pattern reuse, history-aware debugging, and bot-feedback loops
• Simplify lesson/template generation by consolidating workflow-tracing signals, deduping reusable templates by template name, and filtering unresolved placeholder template IDs from generated output
• Clean up install and packaging flow with global npm postinstall cleanup and explicit npm-versus-curl ownership rules

Release v0.6.0

• Switch default branch from main to latest so npm create tags align with the branch name
• Update all workflow triggers, release config, install script, and raw GitHub URLs to reference latest
• Add latest to recognized base branch names in development-workflows config
• Bump fallback default branch from main to latest in dev_sync
