- `stanza init --dry-run` no longer creates the project directory, monorepo shell, or `stanza.json`; the dry-run manifest is built with `emptyManifest` and package.json existence checks are skipped throughout `applyModule`
- Direct-fs codemods (`append-to-file`, `add-package-dep`, `set-tsconfig-paths`) now claim their region before writing so a failed `add` rolls back to true pre-apply bytes and `RegionConflictError` fires before any disk change
- `stanza remove` reads the `consumesPackages` snapshot persisted on each installed record (falling back to a live registry fetch only for legacy records), so package-dir protection holds offline and after upstream renames
- `stanza remove` only applies the legacy bare-id owner fallback when no sibling install of the same module remains, preventing one app's removal from sweeping another app's files on pre-composite-owner manifests
- `stanza doctor` no longer reports false drift for package-home modules installed with an `--app` restriction; `expectedConsumerApps` now intersects targeted apps from the manifest records
- `wrap-root-layout` resolves the framework per dispatched app, fixing multi-app projects with differing frameworks
- The codemod render context now carries `packageManager` so `{{pm}}`/`{{run …}}` templates render bun/npm/pnpm correctly instead of always defaulting to pnpm
- **`app.dir` and region key path traversal.** `appSpecSchema` now validates `dir` with `safeRelativePath` at parse time (rejecting `..`, absolute paths, and null bytes); the `regions` record key receives the same treatment. `applyModule` and `cmdRemove` re-check every resolved write/delete destination with the new `assertWithinRoot` helper, which walks the full symlink chain so a planted link can't redirect file operations outside the project root even if the lexical check passes.
- **Env var line injection in `.env.example`.** `envVarSchema` now validates `name` against `^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$` and rejects control characters in `example` and `description`; the `appendEnvVar` helper applies the same check as defense-in-depth so a crafted third-party module can't smuggle extra `KEY=value` lines into the generated file.
- **Cleartext registry/npm endpoint rejection.** Remote `http://` URLs for `STANZA_REGISTRY`, `registries[*].url`, and `STANZA_NPM_REGISTRY` are now refused (`STANZA_REGISTRY`/`STANZA_NPM_REGISTRY` hard-error; third-party `http://` entries warn and skip so the rest of the CLI keeps working). `file://`, bare filesystem paths, and loopback hosts stay allowed for local-dev and CI-fixture workflows. Set `STANZA_ALLOW_INSECURE_REGISTRY=1` to opt into a trusted internal `http://` mirror with a one-time stderr warning.
- Set `disableThanks`, `prettier: false`, `privatePackages: { version: false, tag: false }`, and `updateInternalDependents: "always"` in `.changeset/config.json`; simplify the release workflow by dropping `NPM_TOKEN` and `NPM_CONFIG_PROVENANCE` from the CI env and switching to `vp run version`
- Add `stanza-cli` as a second bin entry in `publishConfig` alongside `stanza` so the package is callable by either name; reset the CLI package version to `0.0.0` so changesets drive versioning from a clean baseline
- Update docs throughout to reflect the `doctor` command surface (CLI reference, agents guide, telemetry list), the main-file registry URL convention (`registries` entries now point at the full `index.json` URL, not a directory), and the `STANZA_REGISTRY` env var description
- **Registry main file.** The CLI now addresses any registry (first-party, third-party, or `STANZA_REGISTRY` override) by the full URL/path to its JSON index file. The `modules/<category>-<id>.json` convention, the in-repo source-tree loader, the directory-based auto-detect, and the inline-template disk fallback are all removed — one loader, no heuristics. `STANZA_REGISTRY` must be the full path/URL to the main file (not a directory); `registries` entries now carry `url` pointing at the main file instead of an `indexUrl`+template. **Breaking** (pre-release, clean break): registry index bumped to `schemaVersion: 2`; every module entry carries a `path` field resolved relative to the main file.
- **Auto-rollback.** `stanza add` (and each module in `stanza init`) now wraps its file writes in a transaction; a mid-apply failure restores touched files and `stanza.json` to their pre-apply state. `reportApplyFailure` updated to say "The change was rolled back" and demotes the `stanza remove` / `git restore` steps to a backstop note.
- **`stanza doctor`.** New read-only command that checks `stanza.json` against the filesystem (tracked files, deps, scripts, env vars, internal packages) and reports drift, exiting non-zero when found.
- Update integration tests to build the first-party registry once into a temp dir and point `STANZA_REGISTRY` at its main file; update the third-party HTTP fixture server to serve `/index.json` as the main file alongside per-module paths.
- Update `AGENTS.md` E2E smoke instructions and `apps/cli/README.md` to reflect the new loader and `doctor` command.
- Add `api` to the category taxonomy (`cardinality: "one"`, `home: package` → `packages/api/`) for a future typed RPC layer; no first-party modules yet — wizard skips it and the web builder hides it while empty
- Replace the raw `throw err` in `cmdAdd` with `reportApplyFailure`: a `RegionConflictError` states plainly that nothing was written; a mid-apply failure points at `stanza remove …` to sweep tracked files and (when a clean baseline was enforced) `git restore . && git clean -fd` to reset the worktree
- Add npm READMEs to `apps/cli` and `packages/create-stanza` covering quick-start, commands, safety flags, registries, and telemetry
- Unwrap hard-wrapped lines in `category-taxonomy.md` changeset and update AGENTS.md to reference the `compile-registry` vp task instead of the old `prebuild` script
- Promote `renderTemplate` and `buildRenderContext` from `@stanza/codemods` into `@stanza/registry` alongside `synthesizeManifest`/`synthesizeEnvExample`/`synthesizePackageJsons`; add a new `synthesizeTemplates` export that returns the fully-substituted file list for a resolved selection so the web preview and the CLI apply path share identical logic
- Change the template DSL to dotted paths: `{{project.name}}` (was `{{projectName}}`), `{{project.appDir}}` (was `{{appDir}}`), `{{package.name}}` (was `{{packageName}}`), and `{{packages.<dir>.name}}` (was `{{<dir>PackageName}}`, e.g. `{{packages.db.name}}`); add a `TemplateContext` type exported from `@stanza/registry`
- Migrate all first-party modules (`auth-better-auth`, `auth-clerk`) to the new dotted syntax; fixes the web builder preview regression where tokens like `{{dbPackageName}}` appeared unsubstituted
- Update AGENTS.md docs and CLI `codemod-runner.ts` to reflect the new context shape and import locations
- Add `concepts.mdx` covering categories, cardinality, home, vendoring, peers/adapters, manifest, regions, and the open registry model
- Flesh out `getting-started.mdx` with prerequisites, install/run steps, package-manager variants, inspect/remove commands, and a non-interactive `--yes` example
- Rewrite `cli-reference.mdx` with per-verb sections, global flags, environment variables, and dependency-versioning semantics
- Expand `README.md` with a "Why Stanza?" section, quick-start snippet, docs link, and updated module list; swap `pnpm create` example for `npm init`
- Add `concepts` to `meta.json` nav order
- Replace the `slot` / `add-on` discriminated-union split with one `Category` shape carrying two orthogonal fields: `cardinality` (`"one"` for single-choice, `"many"` for coexisting) and `home` (`"app"` / `"repo"` / `"package"`) — the old `packageDir` + `repoScoped` pair is dropped
- `Module` is no longer a discriminated union; it carries a single `category` field referencing a `Category` id; `KNOWN_SLOTS`, `KNOWN_ADDONS`, `ADDON_CATEGORIES`, and all related helpers are replaced by a single `CATEGORIES` array and derived `categoryHome` / `categoryLabel` / `PACKAGE_DIRS` lookups
- Manifest schema bumped to version `0.2` — `modules` is now one record keyed by category holding arrays; `cardinality: "one"` categories are enforced to ≤ 1 entry at install time; no migration (stanza is pre-1.0 and unpublished)
- Peer/constraint logic is now emergent from cardinality: the resolver treats only `cardinality: "one"` categories as peers, so `testing` (many) can never accidentally become a peer; install routing is a single `categoryHome` lookup shared by the CLI runner, codemod runner, and web preview
- Update all CLI commands (`add`, `remove`, `init`, `list`, `search`), the wizard, `codemod-runner`, `registry-loader`, all web builder/detail/search components, server functions, OG route, sitemap, analytics, and selection logic to use the new category API
- Update all first-party `module.ts` files, `registry-build.ts`, tests, and docs (`AGENTS.md`, `REGISTRY.md`, `SKILL.md`) to reflect the unified taxonomy
- Wrap `setSelection` and `toggleAddon` in `startTransition` + `useOptimistic` so card borders and checkmarks flip instantly on click; the preview pane continues to wait on committed loader data (server-rendered Shiki HTML) and shows its own spinner for that round-trip
- Fire-and-forget `getHighlighter()` during the initial `getBuilderState` call so the Shiki singleton is warm before the first slot toggle, eliminating cold-start latency on the first preview render
- Fix `initialExpandedPaths` replay in `FilePreview`: filter the expanded-dir set to only directories whose entire ancestor chain is also expanded, preventing a collapsed parent from being re-opened when its still-flagged descendant is replayed
- Hoist the loading overlay outside the empty/non-empty branch so it also covers the initial `filePaths === []` → content transition, where `filePaths` is still stale while the loader is in flight
- Promote `tooling` from an add-on category to a single-choice **slot** in `KNOWN_SLOTS`/`SLOTS` and remove it from `KNOWN_ADDONS`/`ADDON_CATEGORIES`; the three toolchains are mutually exclusive substitutes so single-choice semantics fit, and nothing peers on `tooling` so it bears no outbound dispatch constraints
- Add `registry/modules/tooling-eslint-prettier` — ESLint flat config + Prettier with per-framework adapters (`next` → `eslint.config.next.mjs`; `tanstack-start` → `eslint.config.tanstack.mjs`) and a shared `prettier.config.mjs`; scripts: `lint: "eslint ."`, `format: "prettier --write ."`
- Add `registry/modules/tooling-biome` — Biome 2.x with a single `default` adapter (framework-agnostic `biome.json`); scripts: `lint`, `format`, `check`
- Add `registry/modules/tooling-oxlint-oxfmt` — Oxlint + oxfmt with a single `default` adapter (`dot_oxlintrc.json`, `dot_oxfmtrc.json`); scripts: `lint`, `format`
- Drop `lint: "next lint"` from `framework-next` — `next lint` was removed in Next 16, so the tooling module now owns `scripts.lint` cleanly
- Add CLI tests covering `init --yes --tooling eslint-prettier`, framework-next shipping no lint script without a tooling pick, `add tooling biome` on an existing project, and slot-already-filled rejection
- Introduce a `kind: "slot" | "addon"` discriminated union on `Module` — slot modules carry `slot`, add-on modules carry `category` (one of `KNOWN_ADDONS`). `isAddon()` narrows the union; `moduleGroup()` returns the slot-or-category key. Add-on categories (`testing`, `tooling`, `deploy`, `email`, `monorepo`) live in `KNOWN_ADDONS`/`ADDON_CATEGORIES`, deliberately disjoint from `KNOWN_SLOTS` so the resolver never lets add-ons participate in peer dispatch (they can still declare a one-way `peers` + per-framework adapters)
- Ship the first two add-ons: `testing-vitest` (jsdom + RTL, `test`/`test:watch` scripts, per-framework adapters) and `testing-playwright` (per-framework `webServer`, `test:e2e`/`test:e2e:ui` scripts — disjoint from vitest's so region claims don't collide); both under `registry/modules/testing-*/`
- Manifest gains `addons: Partial<Record<AddonCategoryId, StanzaAddonRecord[]>>` (`.default({})` keeps existing `stanza.json` valid); resolver gains `addonOrder` for deterministic codemod sequencing
- CLI: `stanza add <slot|category> <module>` accepts both slots and add-on categories; duplicate-id guard for add-ons instead of the single-fill slot guard; `stanza remove <slot|category> [id]` removes a specific add-on by id (or the whole slot); `stanza list` shows add-ons alongside slots; `stanza init --yes` gains `--testing vitest,playwright` flag; wizard prompts multi-select for add-on categories
- Web builder: add-on slots render as checkbox multi-select cards (`SlotSection` detects `isAddon` and switches to `<CheckboxCard>`), `?testing=vitest,playwright` comma-joined URL param, `builder-state.functions.ts` parses/serializes per-category add-on lists, OG and sitemap routes updated for add-on module paths
- Codemod runner branches on `isAddon` to resolve add-on records from `manifest.addons[category]` rather than `manifest.modules[slot]`; region ownership keys on `module.id` so co-existing add-ons writing the same file at disjoint dot-paths never conflict
- Add `commands.test.ts`, `selection.test.ts`, `manifest.test.ts`, and `resolver.test.ts` coverage for add-on add/remove/list flows and schema validation
- Initialize Changesets: `.changeset/config.json` with `@changesets/changelog-github` for PR-linked changelog entries, `access: "public"`, `baseBranch: "main"`, `updateInternalDependencies: "patch"`
- Add `.github/workflows/release.yml` — on push to main, `changesets/action@v1` opens a "Version Packages" PR when changesets are queued; merging that PR re-runs the workflow and calls `pnpm release` (build CLI + create-stanza, then `changeset publish`); provenance attestations enabled via `id-token: write` + `NPM_CONFIG_PROVENANCE=true`; requires `NPM_TOKEN` in repo secrets
- Add root `pnpm changeset` and `pnpm release` scripts; add `@changesets/cli` + `@changesets/changelog-github` to root devDependencies
- `@stanza/codemods` and `@stanza/registry` marked `private: true` — they are inlined into the CLI bundle by tsdown and never published independently; drop the now-redundant `files` field from codemods `package.json`
- `apps/cli/package.json` and `packages/create-stanza/package.json` gain `keywords`, `homepage`, `bugs`, `author`, `repository`, and `publishConfig.access: "public"` — npm metadata required for a clean first publish
- Fix `add-vite-plugin` multiline-array indent regression — when inserting into a `plugins: [...]` array that already spans multiple lines, ts-morph was reformatting the inserted and following elements to 8-space indent while leaving the first element at 4; fix preserves the existing element indent; add a dedicated test case covering the regression
- Drop stale bun shebang comment from CI workflow; remove `packages/internal` from README; mark npm publish TODO done; update CLAUDE.md with Changesets workflow, `private: true` invariant, and `pnpm release` entry
