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 automated release recommendation logic.

Unreleased

Breaking

Added

Changed

Removed

Fixed

• Prepare now recreates the standard Unreleased section headers after promoting notes into a tagged release entry.
• First-release recommendation remains v1.0.0 when no prior releases exist in the changelog.
• Do Release smoke validation now expects --recommend to fail on tagged release checkouts where Unreleased is intentionally empty.

0.1.0 - 2026-03-20

Changed

• README workflow badges now link to the latest workflow run pages instead of the workflow definition pages.

Fixed

• Publish action falls back to git describe when inputs.version is empty and GITHUB_REF is not a tag ref, resolving workflow_call input propagation failures in act runner v0.3.0.

Added

• Coverage badge in README linked to S3-hosted main-branch report.
• S3 coverage artefact publishing (HTML report, badge, JSON summary) in push validation pipeline.
• CLI tests and internal helper tests raising total coverage to 84%.
• Test suite isolation against ambient CI environment variables for changelog link generation tests.
• Go CLI for changelog-driven release preparation and semantic version recommendation.
• Version recommendation from changelog release headings, including first-release support (0.0.0 base -> v1.0.0).
• Automatic release-version creation/update during release preparation.
• Configurable version source/parsing via --version-file and --version-pattern.
• Configurable changelog path via --changelog.
• Recommended-version fallback when version is omitted in CLI and action flows.
• Major-version recommendation trigger from Unreleased ### Breaking.
• Root composite action (action.yml) for recommend/prepare flows.
• Subdirectory composite actions: prepare/action.yml (prepare/commit/tag/push) and publish/action.yml (extract notes/create-or-update release).
• publish outputs for downstream automation: release-id, tag, and version.
• Dual execution mode for actions: go run from source on @main, prebuilt binaries on tagged refs.
• Repository-scoped binary cache keys with workflow-defined fixed token support via VOCIFERATE_CACHE_TOKEN.
• Tag-driven release publication with idempotent release updates and asset replacement on reruns.
• Release artifacts for linux/amd64, linux/arm64, and checksums.txt.
• Reusable Gitea workflows (prepare-release.yml, do-release.yml) with workflow_call support.
• Project/automation rename from releaseprep to vociferate (entrypoint, package paths, outputs).
• README guidance focused on primary cross-repository reuse workflows.
