Changelog

Unreleased

Changed

  • conda-forge template converted to the v1 recipe.yaml format, which staged-recipes now requires for new recipes.

0.4.8 - 2026-09-30

Added

  • claimbound --version.
  • PyPI project page: long description from the README (links and images rewritten to absolute GitHub URLs at build time), author, keywords, classifiers, license files and Discussions/Citation links.

  • AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md contributor and coding-assistant rules, CITATION.cff, .zenodo.json and the pseudonym policy.

  • Brand assets: light and dark logo without background, square mark (SVG and PNG), 1280x640 social preview and a terminal demo (docs/assets/demo/, regenerated from real CLI output by make_demo.py).

  • Lint and coverage: ruff configuration and CI step, coverage report artifact, .pre-commit-config.yaml, CODEOWNERS, release-notes categories and an OpenSSF Scorecard workflow; SECURITY.md documents the release supply chain.

  • Documentation site (MkDocs Material) published under /docs/ next to the atlases on GitHub Pages; sources in docs_site/, assembled by scripts/build_docs_site.py. Adds a generated command reference (docs/CLI.md), a glossary, a scripts index and "I want to" paths in the documentation index.

  • packaging/: unsubmitted recipes for conda-forge, a Homebrew tap and a Docker image, plus packaging/render.py which fills them from a published PyPI release and uv.lock.

Fixed

  • NasaPowerMockConfig without an explicit seed raised NameError (missing hashlib import); covered by a regression test.

Changed

  • README first screen: theme-aware logo, badges (PyPI, downloads, tests, license, release, card count), demo recording, install in two lines and an "is / is not" table.
  • claimbound doctor recognises an installed package: mode=installed-package and ready=yes for card-level commands instead of repo_layout=FAIL.
  • validate-all, demo, rerun, drift and verify print how to clone the repository and exit with code 2 when run from a pip install, instead of a traceback.
  • Relative paths given to validate-card, inspect, hash and new --out resolve against the current directory when there is no repository clone.
  • claimbound inspect card FILE prints a short summary when --keys is omitted.
  • The source distribution no longer ships the whole repository (about 7 MB to about 60 KB).
  • Publication guard tests now check the files git would commit and ignore local, git-ignored outputs such as _site/.
  • docs/PLANNED_NOT_SHIPPED.md reflects that the package is published on PyPI.

Changed

  • Release tooling: version bump after PyPI publishing workflow fixes.

0.4.7.3 - 2026-09-24

0.4.7.1 - 2026-06-19

Changed

  • Registry: 21 validated cards; European Dimension page with five EU examples, SVG embeds, blocked-track narrative, operator rerun commands and explicit non-endorsement note.

  • Updated current evidence tracks, reviewer summary and future applications index.

0.4.4 - 2026-06-11

Fixed

  • Evidence-card SVG renderer now uses inline text attributes so cards render in GitHub README <img> embeds (GitHub strips internal <style> blocks).
  • Clarified SOFTWARE_DEV_D001 allowed claim: required-field regression gate passed for execution_mode enforcement (no failure-style headline wording).

Changed

  • Moved SVG render logic to claimbound_evidence.card_svg_render; regenerated all committed evidence-card SVG files.

0.4.3 - 2026-06-11

Added

  • Added iron_claim, flow_claim, tombstone, claimbound-tree-v3, badge counts and branch-blocking validation rules.
  • Added src/claimbound_evidence/tree_overlay.py for deterministic v3 tree overlay validation.
  • Added CLI command claimbound validate-tree for docs/track_families/*_TREE.json overlays.
