All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
Format: [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
## [0.10.1] - 2026-06-15
### Changed
- **Required runtime bumped to apcore 0.24.0 and apcore-toolkit 0.8.1.** `Cargo.toml`
dependencies raised from `apcore = "0.22"` / `apcore-toolkit = "=0.8.0"` to
`apcore = "0.24"` / `apcore-toolkit = "=0.8.1"`, tracking the aligned apcore 0.24.0
and apcore-toolkit 0.8.1 releases (both resolve from crates.io). **No source
changes** — the full test suite passes unchanged.
The apcore 0.22.0 → 0.24.0 delta does not touch any surface the CLI consumes:
- **Schema type coercion now default-on; `SchemaValidator` returns the coerced
value** — the CLI does not use apcore's `SchemaValidator`. It implements its own
JSON-Schema → clap translator (`schema_parser.rs`) and validates via the
`jsonschema` crate directly (`cli.rs`), so the coercion change has no effect.
- **Per-instance `ToggleState` isolation (#71)** — the CLI never constructs
`ToggleState`/`APCore` nor calls `is_module_disabled()`; toggling is delegated to
`system.*` modules via `Executor::call()`.
- **Error `details` snake_case alignment (A-D-019)** — the CLI reads only
`err.code` (for exit-code mapping); it never serializes apcore error `details`.
- **`Registry::list()/get_definition()`**, **`Executor::call()/set_approval_handler()`**,
`Config::default()`, the `ApprovalHandler` trait, and `ModuleAnnotations` are
unchanged across the delta.
- Out of scope and unused by the CLI: registry-event delivery/DLQ (A-D-013),
middleware `on_error` (A-D-010/012/015), `APCore.on()/events()` bus (D1-011),
array redaction (A-D-003), `Config` env coercion (A-D-007/009),
`CircuitBreakerMiddleware`, `Context::create()`.
## [0.10.0] - 2026-05-18
### Changed — BREAKING (feature surface)
- **Removed `toolkit` Cargo feature flag — apcore-toolkit is now unconditionally required (resolves 6.2; lands ADR-07).** `apcore-toolkit = "=0.7.0"` was already declared as a hard runtime dependency in `Cargo.toml`, but the code base wrapped every toolkit-delegating path in `#[cfg(feature = "toolkit")]` and provided silent-downgrade fallbacks under `#[cfg(not(feature = "toolkit"))]`. This created the same "fake optional" self-contradiction the PY / TS 0.10.0 release fixed: required at the manifest level, soft-degraded at the code level. The sweep landed in this release:
- Deleted 10 `#[cfg(feature = "toolkit")]` gates across `src/output.rs` (descriptor adapter, markdown/skill arms in `format_module_list` / `format_module_detail`, and 5 test helpers / tests) and `src/main.rs` (toolkit-integration block).
- Deleted 3 `#[cfg(not(feature = "toolkit"))]` fallback branches that silently degraded `--format markdown` / `--format skill` to JSON with a `tracing::warn!`.
- Removed the now-dead `TOOLKIT_MISSING_HINT` const.
- Removed `toolkit = []` and `default = ["toolkit"]` from `Cargo.toml` `[features]`. Only `test-support` remains.
- **Migration for downstream crates** that depended on `apcore-cli` with `default-features = false`: explicitly opting out of the `toolkit` feature was previously a way to compile without the toolkit code paths (at the cost of silent format downgrade); that option is gone. apcore-toolkit will always be linked. If you genuinely cannot tolerate the toolkit dependency, pin to `apcore-cli = "0.9"` and stay there until you can adopt the unified surface.
## [0.9.0] - 2026-05-13
### Added
- **`tests/conformance_snake_case_kwargs.rs`** — runs the cross-language Algorithm C-SNAKE fixture (`apcore-cli/conformance/fixtures/snake-case-kwargs/cases.json`) against `schema_to_clap_args` + `reconcile_bool_pairs`, mirroring `extract_cli_kwargs`'s extraction path. Five cases verify that schema property names with underscores (`has_solution`, `sort_by`, `sort_order`) survive the round trip from clap parse to the kwargs dict. No source change required — clap's `Arg::new(prop_name)` keeps the snake_case id as the access key; the Rust SDK is a parity reference for the parallel TypeScript fix. Surfaced as part of the cross-SDK regression coverage gap audit.
### Fixed (2026-05-13 — cross-SDK audit D10/D11/D1)
- **Sandbox output-cap raises wrong error class** (D11-007) — byte-cap overflow now returns `ModuleExecutionError::OutputSizeExceeded { module_id, limit_bytes, overflow_stream }` instead of `OutputParseFailed`. Display message uses MiB units and names the overflowing stream (`stdout`/`stderr`/`stdout+stderr`), matching Python and TypeScript. `src/security/sandbox.rs:374`.
- **`exec --dry-run` emits Rust-only "Pipeline preview" stderr block** (D11-011) — the preview was not declared in the spec and had no Python/TS equivalent. Removed for cross-SDK parity; `--trace` now uniformly routes through `executor.call_with_trace` across all three SDKs.
- **CLI brand string inconsistency in error messages** (D11-006) — `src/security/config_encryptor.rs:56` `DecryptFailed` error text changed from `apcore-cli config set` to canonical `apcli config set`, matching `src/security/auth.rs` which already used `apcli`.
- **Unused `schemars` dev-dependency** (D6 re-audit) — `schemars = "0.8"` in `[dev-dependencies]` had zero usage (`use schemars`, `#[derive(JsonSchema)]`). Removed.
- **Stale `CLAUDE.md` `Sandbox::execute` arity claim** (D10 re-audit) — the "Current Conventions" bullet claimed Rust used a 2-parameter signature with executor bound at construction time; actual source has been 3-parameter since v0.7. Updated to reflect the real 3-parameter form.
### Added
- **`set_all_options_help` cross-SDK parity note** (D1-W1) — `src/cli.rs:104` doc-comment now documents that Rust intentionally ships without the deprecated `set_verbose_help` alias (post-rename, no pre-v0.9 callers). Python/TS keep the alias for one MINOR deprecation cycle.
- **`ConfigResolver::resolve` language-idiom note** (D10-W1) — `src/config.rs:113` doc-comment documents that Rust narrows the return to `Option<String>` (serde_yaml_ng string-coercion) while Python returns `Any` and TypeScript returns `unknown`. Embedders needing typed YAML access are pointed at a v0.10 typed-resolver follow-up.
- **`AuthProvider` encryptor-fallback language-idiom note** (D11-005) — `src/security/auth.rs` now documents that Rust's two-tier encryptor chain (explicit arg → fresh instance) differs from Python/TS's three-tier chain (explicit arg → `config.encryptor` peer attribute → fresh instance). The peer-attribute tier requires a `ConfigResolver` field addition tracked as a v0.10 follow-up.
### Fixed
- **CSV `--format csv` heterogeneous-keys data loss** — `format_exec_result` previously derived headers from `arr[0].as_object().keys()` only, silently dropping fields that first appeared in later rows. Now delegates to `apcore_toolkit::format_csv()` which uses the **union of keys across all rows** in insertion-order. `src/output.rs:537-566`.
- **CSV line terminator** — now `\r\n` per RFC 4180 (was `\n`). Existing test expectations updated; old `\n`-based assertions replaced with CRLF assertions in `tests/test_output.rs`.
### Changed
- **User-visible help/man/completion text no longer leaks the `apcore` framework name** to end users of downstream CLIs built on apcore-cli. Affected strings: `--extensions-dir` option help (`Path to apcore extensions directory.` → `Path to extensions directory.`, `src/main.rs:367`), `exec` subcommand description (`Execute an apcore module` → `Execute a module`, `src/shell.rs:62`, `src/cli.rs:344`, plus the `shell.rs:1102` test fixture and the `tests/test_shell.rs:13-14` integration-test fixture), and man-page `ENVIRONMENT` text in `src/shell.rs:640, 653, 658` (`Path to the apcore extensions directory` → `Path to the extensions directory`, `Global apcore logging verbosity` → `Global logging verbosity`, `API key for authenticating with the apcore registry` → `API key for authenticating with the registry`). README's `--verbose` row updated to match. The `test_generate_man_page_name_uses_description` assertion updated to the new "about" text. Logger fields, source comments, doc comments, and environment-variable identifiers (`APCORE_*`) are unchanged — only descriptive copy that appears in `--help`, shell completion, and `man` output. Cross-SDK parity with Python 0.8.1 and TypeScript 0.8.2.
### Changed (breaking CLI surface)
- **Global `--verbose` flag renamed to `--all-options`** — The help-display flag is now `--all-options`; use `apcore-cli module --help --all-options` to reveal hidden built-in options. `verbose` is removed from the reserved schema property names set — module schemas may now freely define `verbose: boolean` for runtime output control. Public API: `set_verbose_help` / `is_verbose_help` renamed to `set_all_options_help` / `is_all_options_help`; statics renamed accordingly. Tracked in [apcore-cli#21](https://github.com/aiperceivable/apcore-cli/issues/21).
### Changed (breaking feature-flag semantics)
- **`apcore-toolkit` promoted from optional Cargo feature to REQUIRED runtime dependency** (`>=0.7.0`). The `toolkit` feature flag is retained in `default` features for backward compatibility — existing `#[cfg(feature = "toolkit")]` gates continue to work — but consumers using `default-features = false` must explicitly enable `features = ["toolkit"]` to compile. Reqired because csv/yaml/jsonl now route through the toolkit's reference implementation.
- **`serde_json::Map` iteration order** — transitively switched to insertion-order via the toolkit's `preserve_order` feature. Test assertions that relied on alphabetical iteration (`tests/test_output.rs::test_csv_plain_value_passthrough`) updated to expect insertion-order.
### Removed
- `csv_scalar_string` and `csv_field` private helpers — replaced by `apcore_toolkit::format_csv()` and the toolkit's RFC 4180 internals.
### Why
See ADR-09 in `apcore-cli/docs/tech-design.md` for the byte-equivalent toolkit-delegated tier rationale.
## [0.8.0] - 2026-05-08
### Security
- **D10-001 (critical) — `AuthProvider::authenticate_request` rejects trailing CR/LF in the API key** (`src/security/auth.rs`). Previous behaviour stripped trailing `\r`/`\n` before the malformed-key check, allowing a key ending in `"\n"` to silently produce `Authorization: Bearer <stripped>` and exposing the SDK to header-injection vectors. Python and TypeScript both reject any `\r` or `\n` at any position; Rust now matches. The regression test `test_authenticate_request_strips_trailing_crlf` was asserting the wrong behaviour and has been renamed to `test_authenticate_request_rejects_trailing_crlf` with the assertion inverted.
- **D10-truncated #1 — `ConfigEncryptor::retrieve` surfaces a user-actionable decryption error** (`src/security/config_encryptor.rs`). All `retrieve()`-time decryption failures (b64 decode, v1 AES, v2 AES) now route through a new `ConfigEncryptorError::DecryptFailed { key }` variant with the spec'd message `"Failed to decrypt configuration value '{key}'. Re-configure with 'apcore-cli config set {key}'."` Previously, the most common decryption failure modes leaked the internal `AuthTagMismatch` message and dropped both the originating config key and the remediation guidance. `AuthTagMismatch` is preserved as the internal-helper variant returned from `_aes_decrypt_v1`/`_aes_decrypt_v2`. Cross-SDK parity with Python (`config_encryptor.py:62-64,70-72`) and TypeScript (`config-encryptor.ts:136-149`).
- **D11-001 — Built-in-group rename surface** (`src/builtin_group.rs`, `src/cli.rs`, `src/main.rs`, `src/lib.rs`). Restores FE-13 P0 parity with Python `ApcliGroup.name` and TypeScript `ApcliGroup#name`. New `pub fn ApcliGroup::name(&self) -> &str` accessor backed by a `name: String` field that defaults to `"apcli"` and is validated against `NAME_REGEX = ^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]*$`. New factory variants `from_cli_config_with_name` / `from_yaml_with_name` / `try_from_yaml_with_name` accept `name: Option<String>`; the original 2-arg factories delegate with `None` for backward compatibility. New `validate_builtin_group_name` helper and `ApcliGroupError::InvalidName` variant. New module-level `effective_reserved_group_names`, `is_reserved_group_name`, and `pub fn set_reserved_group_names(...)` (mirrors TypeScript `setReservedGroupNames`); `cli.rs::build_module_command_with_limit` consults the live set so a renamed built-in group is honoured at collision-check time. Binary entry-point seeds the live set from `apcli_cfg.name()` and threads the resolved name through the `clap::Command::new(...)` builder.
- **D11-W3 — Sandbox canonicalises inherited `APCORE_EXTENSIONS_ROOT`** (`src/security/sandbox.rs:248`). The child env now carries an absolute, symlink-resolved path so sandboxed processes cannot escape via a relative or symlink-bait extensions root.
- **D11-002 — `sorted_json` recurses into nested objects and arrays** for hash canonicalisation (`src/security/audit.rs:20`). Previously only top-level keys were sorted, so audit-log input hashes diverged for inputs with nested structures. Aligns Rust with the Python and TypeScript canonicalisation contract.
### Added
- **D11-001 — `pub fn set_reserved_group_names(names: &[String])`** module-level setter on `builtin_group` (mirrors TypeScript `setReservedGroupNames`) plus the `ApcliGroup::name()` accessor and `from_cli_config_with_name` / `from_yaml_with_name` / `try_from_yaml_with_name` factory variants. See Security entry above for the full surface.
- **D1-004 — `Sandbox::with_extensions_root(...)` and `Sandbox::with_max_output_bytes(...)` builder methods** (`src/security/sandbox.rs`). Cross-SDK parity with Python `Sandbox.with_extensions_root` / `with_max_output_bytes` (`apcore-cli-python/src/apcore_cli/security/sandbox.py:85,95`). `extensions_root` overrides any inherited `APCORE_EXTENSIONS_ROOT` env var with a canonicalised absolute path; `max_output_bytes` replaces the `SANDBOX_OUTPUT_SIZE_LIMIT_BYTES` constant as the per-instance output cap. Both fields are wired through to `_sandboxed_execute`. 5 new unit tests + 4 new integration tests cover field defaults, single-setter behaviour, fluent chaining, and the disabled-path passthrough invariant.
- **`CliError::SchemaParserFailure { module_id, source }` variant** in `src/cli.rs` — wraps `SchemaParserError::ReservedPropertyName` and `::FlagCollision` so both route to `EXIT_SCHEMA_CIRCULAR_REF` (48) via `CliError::exit_code()`. Previously these errors were re-wrapped as `CliError::InvalidModuleId` and exited with code 2, breaking cross-SDK exit-code parity with Python `sys.exit(48)` and TypeScript `process.exit(EXIT_CODES.SCHEMA_CIRCULAR_REF)`. Audit D11-NEW-005 (see Fixed).
- **`--format markdown` and `--format skill`** for `apcli list` and `apcli describe`
(issue [aiperceivable/apcore-cli#20](https://github.com/aiperceivable/apcore-cli/issues/20)),
gated behind the `toolkit` Cargo feature. Both delegate to
`apcore_toolkit::format_module(s)` (≥0.6) so the output is byte-identical
to the same toolkit call in the Python and TypeScript SDKs. `--format skill`
emits vendor-neutral SKILL.md content directly loadable by Claude Code
(`.claude/skills/<id>/SKILL.md`) and Gemini CLI
(`.gemini/skills/<id>/SKILL.md`):
```bash
apcore-cli apcli describe users.create --format skill > .claude/skills/users.create/SKILL.md
```
A new internal `descriptor_to_scanned()` helper adapts the registry's JSON
module-descriptor shape to the toolkit's `ScannedModule` type. When the
`toolkit` feature is disabled, requesting `markdown` or `skill` logs a
warning and falls back to `json`.
- **Issue #17 — `system_usage` aggregator + `list --sort calls|errors|latency`**:
new module `src/system_usage.rs` reads `~/.apcore-cli/audit.jsonl`, filters
by period (default 24h), and returns per-module aggregates (`calls`,
`errors`, `avg latency_ms`). `list --sort {calls,errors,latency}` now
consults the aggregator instead of falling back to id-sort with a buried
`tracing::warn!`. When the audit log has no entries in the period window
the discovery layer prints a user-visible note to stderr
(`note: no usage data available for --sort <field>; sorted by id. ...`)
and falls back to id-sort. Module-protocol registration of
`system.usage.summary` / `system.usage.module` as registry-callable
built-ins is tracked as a follow-up — today the readers are invoked
directly by the discovery layer.
- New file: `src/system_usage.rs`.
- **Issue #18 + #19 — Rust parity**: new `pub fn create_cli_with(extensions_dir,
prog_name, host_version, host_description) -> clap::Command` lives in the
binary entry point (`src/main.rs`) — embedding API is BIN-only in v0.8
pending the post-D9 redesign. `host_version=Some(v)` overrides
`-V/--version`; `host_description=Some(d)` overrides the top-level
`--help` "About" line. **Issue #18 opt-in semantics:** when
`host_version` is `None`, `--version` is NOT registered — embedded callers
no longer leak the SDK's own `CARGO_PKG_VERSION`. The standalone
`apcore-cli` binary explicitly passes
`Some(env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION").to_string())` so its `--version` flag
remains wired. When `host_description` is omitted, the surface defaults to
`f"{prog_name} CLI"`. Rationale: the embedding API was removed in v0.7.0
(D9-001/D9-002), but parameterizing the builder now means downstream Rust
hosts experimenting with `apcore-cli` as a library do not have to fork
the crate, and the re-introduced embedding API can route through this
seam without further signature churn.
- **Issue #19 — debrand standalone help strings**: the top-level `--help`
description, the `apcli` subgroup description, the `--verbose` option
text, the root `after_help` footer, and the per-module verbose-hint footer
in `cli.rs` no longer hard-code "apcore" in their phrasing. The
description defaults to `f"{prog_name} CLI"` (matches TS / Python), and
the four `(including built-in apcore options)` strings drop the trailing
`apcore`. Standalone bin still uses the SDK package name for `prog_name`
by default, so the public `apcore-cli --help` output is unchanged in
spirit; downstream hosts now get a neutral surface out of the box.
- **D5-002 — Dedicated unit tests for `builtin_group` and `display_helpers`** (`tests/test_builtin_group.rs`, `tests/test_display_helpers.rs`). 10 tests cover `APCLI_SUBCOMMAND_NAMES` / `RESERVED_GROUP_NAMES` constants, all four `from_cli_config` modes, both auto-detect branches, and both `try_from_yaml` validation errors. 6 tests cover display-block extraction, alias precedence chain, and tag fallback chain.
- **D11-NEW-001 / D11-NEW-003 — `ref_resolver` preserves parent sibling `required` in `anyOf`/`oneOf`** (`src/ref_resolver.rs`). `resolve_node` now extracts `sibling_required` from the parent before the branch loop and merges it sibling-first deduplicated with the branch intersection at the end; `merged.properties` is also seeded from the parent (parity with the existing `allOf` branch handling). 3 new regression tests cover `anyOf`, `oneOf`, and dedup overlap. Matches Python `ref_resolver.py:100-118`.
- **`Documented parity gap for the built-in-group rename feature`** in `src/lib.rs` (now superseded by D11-001 above — kept here for the comment block listing the implementation requirements that have since landed).
- **D1-006 — Documented `allowed_prefixes` parity gap** in `src/lib.rs`. TypeScript `createCli` gained `allowedPrefixes` (commit `0f2e08a`); Rust cannot mirror it until the high-level embedding factory (removed in v0.7.0 D9-001/002) returns. The lib-level cross-SDK parity note now records that TypeScript is no longer missing it and Rust is the sole gap.
### Changed
- **D6-W1 — `serde_yaml` replaced with `serde_yaml_ng = "0.10"`** (`Cargo.toml:29`). Upstream `serde_yaml` was deprecated; `serde_yaml_ng` is the maintained drop-in replacement. No API surface change.
- **D6-003 — `apcore` pin policy relaxed** from `=0.21.0` to `0.21` (minor floor), aligning with `apcore-cli-python` (`>=0.21.0`) and `apcore-cli-typescript` (`>=0.21.0`).
- **Dependency bumps** — `nix 0.29 → 0.30.1`, `thiserror 1 → 2.0.18`, `comfy-table 6 → 7.2.2` (transitive: `crossterm 0.26 → 0.29`, `unicode-width 0.1 → 0.2`).
- **`Makefile` `coverage` target** now passes `--fail-under-lines 85` to `cargo llvm-cov`, matching the Python `pyproject.toml` `[tool.coverage.report] fail_under = 85` and the new TypeScript `vitest.config.ts` `thresholds.lines: 85`. Cross-SDK CI parity (audit D5-004).
- **`apcli list` and `apcli describe` `--format` value-parsers** expanded to
`[table, json, csv, yaml, jsonl, markdown, skill]`. `describe` previously
accepted only `[table, json]`. Unknown values exit with code 2 (clap
rejection) as before. Issue
[aiperceivable/apcore-cli#20](https://github.com/aiperceivable/apcore-cli/issues/20).
- **Dependency bump**: `apcore = "0.21"` (was `=0.19.0`) and the optional
`apcore-toolkit = "=0.6.0"` (was `=0.5.0`). Aligns with upstream
`apcore 0.21.0` (`Module::preview` / `PreflightResult::predicted_changes`)
and `apcore-toolkit 0.6.0` (surface-aware formatters). No CLI-visible
behavioural breaks.
- **D8-W1 — `Cargo.lock` is now tracked** in git. Per Cargo guidance, the lockfile must be committed for crates that ship a `[[bin]]` target to guarantee reproducible binary builds. The lockfile was previously gitignored.
- **D9-W5 — `register_completion_command` no longer takes `prog_name`** (`src/shell.rs:79`). The parameter was unused; signature now matches the TypeScript `registerCompletionCommand` contract.
### Fixed
- **D11-NEW-005 — `schema_to_clap_args` `Err(SchemaParserError::*)` was mapped to exit code 2**, not 48. The call site in `src/cli.rs:425` previously wrapped both `ReservedPropertyName` and `FlagCollision` as `CliError::InvalidModuleId`, which exits 2. Both are spec-defined exit-48 schema-validity errors per `apcore-cli/docs/features/schema-parser.md` Contract: `schema_to_click_options` Errors (cross-SDK parity with Python `sys.exit(48)` and TS `process.exit(EXIT_CODES.SCHEMA_CIRCULAR_REF)`). Fix routes through the new `CliError::SchemaParserFailure` variant.
- **D9-NEW-002 — `merge_allof` did not deduplicate `required` across branches**. The function concatenated each branch's `required` array via `.extend()`, producing duplicates when two branches independently required the same field name. Spec mandates first-seen-wins dedup (matching TypeScript `[...new Set(...)]` and Python's new explicit seen-set). Fix: replace `.extend()` with a `for item in req { if !merged_required.contains(item) { merged_required.push(...) } }` loop. Outer `obj.required` parent-vs-branches dedup at line 244-251 was already correct.
- **D10-002 — `resolve_refs` exit-code split** (`src/cli.rs:69`). `RefResolverError::Unresolvable` now exits `45` (`EXIT_SCHEMA_REF_UNRESOLVABLE`) while `RefResolverError::Circular` and `RefResolverError::MaxDepthExceeded` exit `48` (`EXIT_SCHEMA_CIRCULAR_REF`). Previously all three collapsed onto a single exit code, breaking cross-SDK parity with Python `sys.exit(45)` / `sys.exit(48)` and the TypeScript `EXIT_CODES.SCHEMA_REF_UNRESOLVABLE` / `SCHEMA_CIRCULAR_REF` split.
- **D10-W1 + D11-W5 — `schema_parser` flag-collision check probes `seen_flags` before inserting the synthetic `--no-X`** (`src/schema_parser.rs:280`), and the collision message now references the original boolean property name instead of the negated form. Cross-SDK message parity.
- **D10-truncated #3 — Clarified `CliApprovalHandler::check_approval` shadow** (`src/approval.rs`). Added a doc-comment disambiguation table covering both `check_approval` overloads (the inherent method that takes `&Value` and is an alias for `request_approval`, and the `apcore::ApprovalHandler` trait impl that takes `&str` and implements the spec's Phase B polling protocol returning `"rejected — CLI does not support async polling"`). The previous comment claimed the inherent method "matches the Python/TypeScript `check_approval` method name", which was misleading. Doc-only change.
- **D11-W1 — `ConfigEncryptor` username fallback chain extended to `USER → LOGNAME → USERNAME`** (`src/security/config_encryptor.rs:233`) for Windows parity with the Python and TypeScript SDKs.
- **D9-W3 — `register_discovery_commands` deleted; `cmd_list` demoted to `pub(crate)`** (`src/discovery.rs:313`). The wrapper had no remaining callers and exposed an internal helper that was never part of the spec'd surface.
- **D10-info-1 — `APCORE_CLI_APCLI` env value is now trimmed before lowercase normalisation** (`src/builtin_group.rs:633`). Spec invariant 2 (`apcore-cli/docs/features/builtin-group.md`) requires the env-var parser to be both case-insensitive and trim-on-read; values like `" show "` or `"\thide\n"` now resolve to `"all"`/`"none"` instead of hitting the warn-and-fallthrough branch. Pure-whitespace strings collapse to `"unset"` (parity with the empty-string short-circuit) rather than warning.
- **D11-010 — `AuditLogger` write-failure warnings are deduplicated**. Repeated IO failures against the same `AuditLogger` instance now emit `"Could not write audit log"` at most once; subsequent failures fall through to `trace` level. The dedup flag lives in `Arc<AtomicBool>` so clones share state, matching TypeScript `_writeFailureWarned` and Python `_write_failure_warned` (`src/security/audit.rs:227`).
- **D11-011 — `ExposureFilter` accepts `mode = "none"` silently** (`src/exposure.rs:59`). Python and TypeScript treat `"none"` as a legitimate user-supplied value (hides every module); Rust was warning `"Unknown ExposureFilter mode 'none'"` and clamping back to `"none"`. The end-state was identical, but the spurious warning broke log-noise parity. `"none"` is now in the `VALID_MODES` whitelist; truly unknown modes still warn-and-clamp (fail-closed).
### Removed
- **D9-003 — FE-13 §11.2 root-level deprecation shims**. The 13 hidden
root-level shim subcommands (`list`, `describe`, `exec`, `validate`,
`init`, `health`, `usage`, `enable`, `disable`, `reload`, `config`,
`completion`, `describe-pipeline`) that forwarded to `apcli <name>` with a
deprecation warning were removed per spec §11.3 ("Removed in v0.8").
Callers must now use `apcli <name>`. The `DEPRECATED_ROOT_COMMANDS` const,
`print_deprecation_warning`, `build_apcli_group_for_dispatch`,
`forward_shim_args`, and `parse_shim_for` helpers in `src/main.rs` were
deleted along with the registration loop and 13 dispatch arms.
- **D6-002 — `tokio-test = "0.4"` dev-dependency removed**. The crate had zero references across `src/`, `tests/`, and `examples/`; `#[tokio::test]` macros come from tokio's own `macros` feature.
- **D9-W3 — `register_discovery_commands` wrapper removed** from `src/discovery.rs`. See Fixed entry above.
---
## [0.7.0] - 2026-04-25
### Removed
- Removed `run_with_config` and `CliConfig` from the public surface — both
were stubs and unwired (D9-001, D9-002). `run_with_config` returned 1 with
a "not yet implemented" message in every branch; `CliConfig` declared
`commands_dir`, `binding_path`, `group_depth`, `expose`, and `apcli`
fields that no code path read. The embedding API will be reintroduced
when actually implemented. `CliConfigError` was removed alongside.
- Removed `EXIT_CONFIG_NAMESPACE_DUPLICATE` constant alias (D9-003) — use
`EXIT_CONFIG_NAMESPACE_RESERVED` for exit code 78.
### Added
- **Cross-language conformance test** (`tests/conformance_apcli_visibility.rs`) consuming the shared apcli-visibility fixtures from the `aiperceivable/apcore-cli` spec repo (`conformance/fixtures/apcli-visibility/`). One `#[test]` per canonical scenario (`standalone-default`, `embedded-default`, `cli-override`, `env-override`, `yaml-include`). Asserts apcli group visibility and subcommand registration against each fixture's `create_cli.json` / `env.json` / `input.yaml` inputs. A process-global `Mutex` guards scenarios that touch `APCORE_CLI_APCLI` / `cwd`. Byte-matching against `expected_help.txt` is gated behind `#[ignore]` until the canonical clap v4 / GNU-style help formatter is ported — tracked for parity with `apcore-cli-typescript/src/canonical-help.ts`.
- **`APCORE_CLI_SPEC_REPO` env var** — overrides the spec-repo lookup path for conformance fixtures. Defaults to a sibling checkout (`../apcore-cli/`). The test is a no-op (prints a skip notice and returns) when the spec repo is absent.
- New `[[test]]` entry in `Cargo.toml` registering the conformance test binary.
- **FE-12: Module Exposure Filtering** — Declarative control over which discovered modules are exposed as CLI commands.
- `ExposureFilter` struct in `exposure.rs` with `is_exposed(&self, module_id)` and `filter_modules(&self, ids)` methods.
- Three modes: `All` (default), `Include` (whitelist), `Exclude` (blacklist) with glob-pattern matching.
- `ExposureFilter::from_config(value)` constructor for loading from `apcore.yaml` `expose` section.
- `list --exposure {exposed,hidden,all}` filter flag in discovery commands.
- `GroupedModuleGroup` integration: applies exposure filter during command registration.
- `ConfigResolver` gains `expose.*` config keys.
- 3-tier config precedence: `--expose-mode` CLI flag > env var > `apcore.yaml`.
(The fourth `CliConfig.expose` tier was removed alongside `CliConfig` —
see the Removed section above.)
- Hidden modules remain invocable via `exec <module_id>`.
- New file: `exposure.rs`.
### Fixed
- Correctly propagate executor errors by moving `map_err` inside the `block_in_place` scope.
### Changed
- **CI — spec-repo checkout**: `.github/workflows/ci.yml` now checks out `aiperceivable/apcore-cli` into `.apcore-cli-spec/` and exposes it to `cargo test` via `APCORE_CLI_SPEC_REPO`. Mirrors the pattern in `apcore-cli-python` / `apcore-cli-typescript`.
- **Dependency bump**: requires `apcore = 0.18.0` (was `0.17.1`).
- `MAX_MODULE_ID_LENGTH` updated to 192 (was 128) — `cli.rs` constant `MODULE_ID_MAX_LEN` and
`validate_module_id` already tracked the upstream spec change.
- `describe-pipeline` rendering updated to build a `StrategyInfo` value (new `apcore 0.18.0`
type) from preset step data and use its `name` / `step_count` / `step_names` fields for
display. Header format: `Pipeline: <name> (<n> steps)`.
- `FsDiscoverer::discover` signature updated to `discover(&self, _roots: &[String])` to match the
new `apcore::registry::Discoverer` trait contract (`discover(roots: &[String])`).
- `Registry::discover(&discoverer)` now returns `usize` (module count) instead of
`Vec<String>` — updated `main.rs` and `fs_discoverer.rs` tests accordingly.
- `Registry::get_definition` now returns `Option<ModuleDescriptor>` (owned) instead of
`Option<&ModuleDescriptor>` — removed unnecessary `.cloned()` call in `discovery.rs`.
- Centralized CLI dispatch flags and builtin command definitions to improve maintainability.

## [0.6.0] - 2026-04-06
### Changed
- **Dependency bump**: requires `apcore = 0.17.1` (was `0.15.1`). Adds Execution Pipeline Strategy, Config Bus enhancements, Pipeline v2 declarative step metadata, `minimal` strategy preset.
- `CliConfig::group_depth` default changed from 0 to 1 (custom `Default` impl).
- Error tuple in executor path changed to `(i32, String, Option<Value>)` to carry structured error data for FE-11 enhanced error output.
### Added
- **FE-11: Usability Enhancements** — 11 new capabilities:
- `--dry-run` preflight mode. Standalone `validate` command in `validate.rs` with `format_preflight_result()` and `first_failed_exit_code()`.
- System management commands: `health`, `usage`, `enable`, `disable`, `reload`, `config get`/`config set` in `system_cmd.rs`. Graceful no-op when system modules unavailable.
- Enhanced error output: `emit_error_json()` / `emit_error_tty()` with structured guidance fields from `Option<&Value>`.
- `--trace` pipeline visualization with timing data.
- `CliApprovalHandler` struct in `approval.rs`. `--approval-timeout`, `--approval-token` flags.
- `--stream` JSONL output.
- Enhanced `list` command: `--search`, `--status`, `--annotation`, `--sort`, `--reverse`, `--deprecated`, `--deps`, `--flat`. `ListOptions` struct.
- `--strategy` selection: `standard`, `internal`, `testing`, `performance`, `minimal`. `describe-pipeline` command in `strategy.rs` with Pure/Removable/Timeout columns.
- Output format extensions: `--format csv|yaml|jsonl`, `--fields` dot-path field selection. `format_module_list_with_deps()`.
- Multi-level grouping: `CliConfig::group_depth`.
- Custom command extension: `CliConfig::extra_commands: Vec<clap::Command>`.
- New error code constant: `EXIT_CONFIG_ENV_MAP_CONFLICT`.
- New files: `system_cmd.rs`, `strategy.rs`, `validate.rs`.
- `BUILTIN_COMMANDS` expanded to 14 entries. `KNOWN_BUILTINS` in `shell.rs` updated to match.
- `RESERVED_FLAG_NAMES` expanded with all FE-11 flag names.
---
## [0.5.1] - 2026-04-03
### Added
- **Pre-populated registry support** — `CliConfig` struct with optional `registry` (pre-populated `RegistryProvider`) and `executor` (pre-built `ModuleExecutor`) fields. When provided, downstream binaries can skip filesystem discovery entirely. This enables frameworks that register modules at runtime (e.g. apflow's bridge) to generate CLI commands from their existing registry.
- `CliConfig` exported from crate root with `Default` impl.
---
## [0.4.0] - 2026-03-29
### Added
- **Verbose help mode** — Built-in apcore options (`--input`, `--yes`, `--large-input`, `--format`, `--sandbox`) are now hidden from `--help` output by default. Pass `--help --verbose` to display the full option list including built-in options.
- **Universal man page generation** — `build_program_man_page()` generates a complete roff man page covering all registered commands. `--help --man` outputs the man page, enabling downstream projects to get man pages for free.
- **Documentation URL support** — `set_docs_url()` sets a base URL for online docs. Per-command help shows `Docs: {url}/commands/{name}`, man page SEE ALSO includes `Full documentation at {url}`. No default — disabled when not set.
### Changed
- `build_module_command_with_limit()` and `add_dispatch_flags()` respect the global verbose help flag to control built-in option visibility.
- `--sandbox` is now always hidden from help (not yet implemented). Only four built-in options (`--input`, `--yes`, `--large-input`, `--format`) toggle with `--verbose`.
- Improved built-in option descriptions for clarity.
## [0.3.0] - 2026-03-27
### Added
- **Grouped CLI commands (FE-09)** — `GroupedModuleGroup` organizes modules into nested subcommand groups by namespace prefix, enabling `apcore-cli <group> <command>` invocation.
- **Display overlay helpers** — `get_display()` and `get_cli_display_fields()` resolve alias, description, and tags from `metadata["display"]`.
- **Init command (FE-10)** — `apcore-cli init module <id>` scaffolds new modules with `--style` (decorator/convention/binding), `--dir`, and `--description` options.
- **Grouped shell completions** — Bash, Zsh, and Fish completions now support two-level group/command completion via `_APCORE_GRP`.
- **Optional apcore-toolkit integration** — `DisplayResolver` and `RegistryWriter` via `toolkit` feature flag with graceful fallback.
- **Path traversal validation** — `--dir` rejects paths containing `..` components.
### Changed
- `BUILTIN_COMMANDS` updated to include `init` (6 items, sorted).
- `APCORE_AUTH_API_KEY` added to man page ENVIRONMENT section.
- Dependency bump: `apcore >= 0.14`.
## [0.2.2] - 2026-03-22
### Changed
- Rebrand: aipartnerup → aiperceivable
## [0.2.1] - 2026-03-19
### Changed
- Help text truncation limit increased from 200 to 1000 characters (`HELP_TEXT_MAX_LEN` constant)
- `cli.help_text_max_length` config key added to `ConfigResolver::DEFAULTS` (default: 1000)
- `logging.level` default changed from `"INFO"` to `"WARNING"` in `ConfigResolver::DEFAULTS` — aligns with Python/TypeScript SDKs and updated spec
### Added
- `extract_help_with_limit` — configurable-limit variant of `extract_help` (`schema_parser.rs`)
- `schema_to_clap_args_with_limit` — configurable-limit variant of `schema_to_clap_args` (`schema_parser.rs`)
- `build_module_command_with_limit` — accepts `help_text_max_length` parameter (`cli.rs`)
- `HELP_TEXT_MAX_LEN` constant exported from crate root (`lib.rs`)
- Test: `test_extract_help_truncates_at_1000`
- Test: `test_extract_help_no_truncation_within_limit`
- Test: `test_extract_help_custom_max_length`
- Test: `test_help_truncated_at_1000_chars` (integration)
- Test: `test_help_within_limit_not_truncated` (integration)
- 459 tests (up from 458)
## [0.2.0] - 2026-03-18
### Added
**Core Features (ported from apcore-cli-python 0.2.0)**
- **ConfigResolver** — 4-tier configuration precedence (CLI flag > env var > YAML file > defaults)
- **Core Dispatcher** — `validate_module_id`, `collect_input` (STDIN + CLI merge, 10MiB limit), `LazyModuleGroup` (lazy command cache), `build_module_command` (schema-to-clap), `dispatch_module` (full execution pipeline with SIGINT handling)
- **Schema Parser** — `schema_to_clap_args` converting JSON Schema to clap `Arg` instances, boolean flag pairs (`--flag`/`--no-flag`), enum choices with `PossibleValuesParser`, `reconvert_enum_values` for type coercion, `extract_help` with 200-char truncation
- **Ref Resolver** — `resolve_refs` with `$ref` inlining, `allOf` merge, `anyOf`/`oneOf` intersection, depth limit (32), circular detection
- **Output Formatter** — TTY-adaptive rendering (`comfy-table` for terminals, JSON for pipes), `format_module_list`, `format_module_detail`, `format_exec_result`, `resolve_format`, `truncate`
- **Discovery** — `list` command with AND tag filtering, `describe` command with exit-44 on not found, `RegistryProvider` trait, `ApCoreRegistryProvider` adapter
- **Approval Gate** — TTY-aware HITL prompts, `--yes` and `APCORE_CLI_AUTO_APPROVE=1` bypass, 60s `tokio::select!` timeout, `NonInteractive` error for non-TTY, all variants exit 46
- **Shell Integration** — `completion` command (bash/zsh/fish/elvish/powershell via `clap_complete`), `man` command (roff format with EXIT CODES and ENVIRONMENT sections)
- **Security** — `AuthProvider` (env/config/keyring with Bearer header), `ConfigEncryptor` (AES-256-GCM + PBKDF2, keyring fallback), `AuditLogger` (JSONL append, salted SHA-256 input hash), `Sandbox` (tokio subprocess, env whitelist, 300s timeout)
**Dispatch & Execution**
- `exec` subcommand — first-class clap subcommand for module execution
- External subcommand routing — `apcore-cli math.add --a 5` routes through `dispatch_module`
- Schema-derived flags — external subcommands look up module descriptor to build `--a`, `--b` etc. from `input_schema`
- `FsDiscoverer` — recursively scans extensions directory for `module.json` descriptors
- Script-based execution — modules with `run.sh` next to `module.json` execute as subprocesses (JSON stdin/stdout protocol)
- Path-traversal validation — executable paths canonicalized and verified to stay within extensions root
**Examples**
- 8 example modules: `math.add`, `math.multiply`, `text.upper`, `text.reverse`, `text.wordcount`, `sysutil.info`, `sysutil.env`, `sysutil.disk`
- Each module has `module.json` (descriptor) + `run.sh` (execution script)
- `examples/run_examples.sh` — runs all 15 demo scenarios
- `examples/README.md` — module authoring guide
**Developer Experience**
- `Makefile` with `setup`, `build`, `check` (fmt + clippy + tests), `clean` targets
- `.bin/` local binary directory to avoid PATH conflict with Python `apcore-cli`
- Pre-commit hook (fmt, clippy, check-chars)
- 458 tests across 17 test files, 0 failures
- `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings` clean
**Infrastructure**
- 10 exit codes matching the apcore protocol (0, 1, 2, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 77, 130)
- `add_dispatch_flags()` shared helper for exec and external subcommand flags
- `test-support` cargo feature for gating test utilities (`MockRegistry`, `mock_module`)
- Unified `RegistryProvider` trait (consolidated from separate `ModuleRegistry` + `RegistryProvider`)
