gosick/CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

A ### Breaking section is used in addition to Keep a Changelog's standard sections to explicitly document changes that are backwards-incompatible but would otherwise appear under ### Changed. Entries under ### Breaking trigger a major version bump in the automated release tooling.

[Unreleased]

Breaking

Added

Changed

• Dependencies updated to resolve security vulnerabilities: cloudflare/circl to v1.6.3, go-git/v5 to v5.17.0, golang.org/x/crypto to v0.49.0, and golang.org/x/net to v0.52.0.

• CI workflows now include explicit caching for Go modules, build artifacts, and security tool binaries to reduce pipeline execution time.

• Security hardening: file and directory creation now uses restrictive permissions (0o750 for directories, 0o600 for files) instead of world-accessible defaults. Executable wrapper scripts are created with restricted permissions and then explicitly made executable via chmod.

• Security: Open() now executes the editor directly without shell intermediary to prevent injection through the $EDITOR environment variable.

• CI validation now runs gosec and govulncheck security scanning on push and pull request workflows.

• cmd/homesick now includes entrypoint-focused tests that exercise both the CLI run path and main process path.

• rc command: executes all executable scripts inside a castle's .homesick.d/ directory in sorted order, with the castle root as the working directory. stdout/stderr from each script is forwarded to the caller.

• rc command: when a .homesickrc file exists and no parity.rb wrapper is present in .homesick.d/, a Ruby wrapper script (parity.rb) is generated automatically to preserve backwards compatibility. An existing parity.rb is never overwritten.

• exec command: runs a shell command inside the target castle root directory.

• exec_all command: runs a shell command inside each cloned castle root directory in sorted order.

• pull --all support: pulls updates for every cloned castle in sorted order.

• rc --force support: legacy .homesickrc compatibility hooks now require explicit force mode before execution.

• Global command flags restored: --pretend (with --dry-run alias) and --quiet.

• Native Go implementations for clone, link, unlink, track, pull, push, commit, destroy, cd, open, and generate.

• Containerized behavior test suite for command parity validation.

• Dedicated test suites for list, show_path, status, diff, and version.

• Just workflow support for building and running the Linux behavior binary.

• Coverage reports and badges published to shared object storage for branches and pull requests.

• Pull requests now receive coverage report links in CI comments.

• Automated release orchestration now runs through vociferate prepare and publish workflows.

• symlink command alias compatibility for link.

Changed

• Release automation now uses aether/vociferate prepare and publish actions (pinned to v1.0.1) instead of repository-local releaseprep wrappers.
• Push and pull request validation now enforce per-package coverage gates (fail below 50%) and publish package-level coverage status tables in workflow summaries.
• Push and pull request validation now verify module hygiene (go mod tidy, go mod verify) and use a dedicated summary-file pattern with a final always-run summary step.
• CLI argument parsing migrated to Kong.
• Git operations for clone and track migrated to go-git.
• Build and behavior workflows now produce and run the gosick binary name.
• CI validation is unified into push events, running behavior tests only on main pushes.
• Gitea CI workflows now cache Go modules and build artifacts using a shared runner tool cache.
• Gitea workflow and README badge updated from push-unit-tests to push-validation.
• CLI help now uses the invoked binary name (defaulting to gosick) in usage output.
• CLI help description now reflects Homesick's purpose for managing precious dotfiles.
• Release notes standardized to Keep a Changelog format.
• commit command now accepts legacy positional form commit <castle> <message> in addition to -m.
• destroy now prompts for confirmation by default and preserves the castle when declined.

Fixed

• status and diff now consistently write through configured app output writers.
• pull --all output now includes per-castle prefixes to match behavior expectations.
• Behavior-suite container now includes Ruby so .homesickrc parity wrapper execution works under rc --force.

Removed

• Legacy script/prepare-release.sh releaseprep wrapper and its dedicated script test.
• Legacy Ruby implementation and Ruby toolchain.
• Legacy in-repository releaseprep package and command implementation, now superseded by the standalone vociferate tool.
