## [0.6.0](https://github.com/gubasso/spec-driven-docs/compare/v0.5.1...v0.6.0) - 2026-09-09
This version removes the delivered prose gate and the spec that defined its rules. An instance that upgrades has work to do in the same change:
- Run the upgrade so the managed pre-commit block loses the `simple-english` hook. An instance whose configuration still names that hook fails on a gate the binary no longer serves.
- Read the writing style with `sdd method writing-style`. The documentation block in the project's `AGENTS.md` now routes to that command in one line, and no delivered gate judges prose against it.
- Keep `specs/SPEC-simple-english.md` where it is, or delete it. `sdd` no longer seeds that file, so an adopted copy is the project's own from this version on. Its eleven `simple-english:` rule IDs no longer resolve, so re-point any local citation of them.
No document converts on upgrade. A document converts the next time an author edits it, and nothing reports the ones that have not.
```bash
sdd upgrade --target . --dry-run
sdd upgrade --target .
```
### Added
- *(method)* Replace the prose gate with a writing style chapter ([#58](https://github.com/gubasso/spec-driven-docs/pull/58))
## [0.5.1](https://github.com/gubasso/spec-driven-docs/compare/v0.5.0...v0.5.1) - 2026-09-09
This version adds two rules and one gate, and it widens what an existing gate sees. An instance that upgrades has work to do in the same change:
- Give every `masked` or `monitoring` known-issue record a `checked:` ISO date, holding the date its upstream state was last confirmed. Every other state carries none. `ki-checked-date` holds it.
- Give every suppression that `suppression-names-its-case` now sees either a `KI-<slug>` case or an `sdd: permanent <reason>` marker, never both. The gate saw two markdown comment forms before. It now also sees Rust attributes, Python decorators and `noqa` comments, `shellcheck disable=`, `type: ignore`, `zizmor: ignore[`, and `eslint-disable`, each in the files the tool that honors it reads.
```bash
sdd upgrade --target . --dry-run
sdd upgrade --target .
```
### Added
- *(gates)* Date a record's last check and let a suppression state a permanent reason ([#55](https://github.com/gubasso/spec-driven-docs/pull/55))
## [0.5.0](https://github.com/gubasso/spec-driven-docs/compare/v0.4.14...v0.5.0) - 2026-09-07
This version carries the compatibility break that 0.4.14 shipped without marking. Upgrade an existing instance once:
```bash
sdd upgrade --target . --dry-run
sdd upgrade --target .
```
An instance installed before 0.4.14 records manifest schema 2, and 0.4.14 and later read schema 3. Every verb but `sdd upgrade` refuses the older record and names the upgrade. The migration preserves everything the record carried.
### Other
- *(release)* [**breaking**] Mark the manifest schema break in the version ([#50](https://github.com/gubasso/spec-driven-docs/pull/50))
## [0.4.14](https://github.com/gubasso/spec-driven-docs/compare/v0.4.13...v0.4.14) - 2026-09-07
### Added
- *(distribution)* Declare the plan zone and the docs scratch by variable ([#48](https://github.com/gubasso/spec-driven-docs/pull/48))
The plan zone and the docs scratch became declared values. `sdd init --plan-zone` and `--docs-scratch` record them in the instance manifest, and `SDD_PLAN_ZONE` and `SDD_DOCS_SCRATCH` override the record. An omitted flag never clears a recorded value, and `none` clears one.
The manifest schema moved from 2 to 3, so an older `sdd` asks for an upgrade rather than failing to parse. The new `spec-change-is-typed` gate replaces the shell command the `spec-to-code` seed carried, and no adopter edits a seeded spec to declare the zone any more.
