+All notable changes to ai-visual-test will be documented in this file.
 
-## [0.5.1] - 2025-11-14
+## [0.7.4] - 2026-03-03
+
+### Added
+- **Structured result fields at top level** - `result.richIssues`, `result.recommendations`, `result.strengths` promoted from `result.semantic` to the top-level result object, eliminating the need to reach into `result.semantic` for structured output.
+  - `richIssues`: array of `{ description, importance, annoyance, impact, evidence, suggestion }` objects
+  - `recommendations`: array of `{ priority, suggestion, expectedImpact }` objects
+  - `strengths`: array of strings describing what works well
+- **TypeScript types** for `RichIssue`, `Recommendation`; updated `SemanticInfo` and `ValidationResult` interfaces.
+
+### Fixed
+- `result.issues` (flat strings) is preserved for backward compatibility; `result.richIssues` adds the structured version alongside it.
+
+## [0.7.3] - 2026-03-02
+
+### Added
+- **Visual anchors** - domain-level grounding cues (text + image) injected into VLM prompts. Supports `AnchorEntry` union type: plain strings, dimension-scoped text, image references, or combinations. Config-level anchors merge with per-call `context.anchors`.
+- **Dimension-scoped anchors** - tag anchors with rubric dimension names for targeted evaluation.
+- **Image anchor resolution** - file paths, data URIs, and raw base64 supported for reference screenshots.
+
+### Fixed
+- Prompt composer: proper `\n\n` separation between anchor section and base prompt.
+- Judge: always warn on missing anchor images (not just verbose mode).
+- Build script: strip `scripts` and `devDependencies` from dist `package.json`.
+- Publish workflow: run only unit tests in CI; audit prod deps only.
+
+## [0.6.0] - 2025-01-17
 
 ### Changed
-- **Package renamed to scoped** - Now published as `@arclabs561/ai-visual-test` for consistency with other @arclabs561 packages

+  - Keeps API surface, validators, utilities, and cache system readable
+  - Transparent about obfuscation strategy in README

 # Deployment Guide
 
+## Overview
+
+This guide covers deploying `@arclabs561/ai-visual-test` in production environments, including:
+- Vercel serverless deployment
+- Docker containerization
+- Health checks and monitoring
+- Graceful shutdown
+- Environment variable validation
+
 ## Vercel Deployment
 
 ### Quick Deploy
@@ -15,22 +24,95 @@ vercel
 
 ### Environment Variables
 
-Set these in Vercel dashboard:
+**Required** (at least one API key):
+- `GEMINI_API_KEY` - For Gemini provider
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - For OpenAI provider
+- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` - For Claude/Anthropic provider
+- `GROQ_API_KEY` - For Groq provider (high-frequency decisions)
+
+**Optional**:
+- `VLM_PROVIDER` - Provider to use (auto-detected if not set): `gemini`, `openai`, `claude`, `groq`
+- `VLM_MODEL` - Explicit model override
+- `VLM_MODEL_TIER` - Model tier: `fast`, `balanced`, `best`
+- `API_KEY` or `VLLM_API_KEY` - For API endpoint authentication
+- `REQUIRE_AUTH` - Set to `true` to enforce authentication (default: `true` if API_KEY is set)
+- `RATE_LIMIT_MAX_REQUESTS` - Max requests per minute (default: 10)
+- `DISABLE_LLM_CACHE` - Set to `true` to disable caching globally
+
+### Startup Validation
 
-- `GEMINI_API_KEY` (or `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`)
-- `VLM_PROVIDER` (optional)
-- `API_KEY` or `VLLM_API_KEY` (optional, for API authentication)
-- `REQUIRE_AUTH` (optional, set to `true` to enforce authentication)
-- `RATE_LIMIT_MAX_REQUESTS` (optional, default: 10 requests per minute)
+The library automatically validates configuration at startup. If required environment variables are missing, you'll get clear error messages:
+
+```javascript
+import { validateStartup } from '@arclabs561/ai-visual-test';
+
+// Strict validation (throws on missing vars)
+try {
+  validateStartup();
+  console.log('✅ Configuration valid');
+} catch (error) {
+  console.error('❌ Configuration invalid:', error.message);
+  // Error includes actionable guidance:
+  // "Missing required environment variables for provider 'gemini': GEMINI_API_KEY"
+}
+
+// Soft validation (returns warnings)
+const result = validateStartupSoft();
+if (!result.valid) {
+  console.warn('⚠️  Configuration warnings:', result.warnings);
+}
+```
 
 ### API Endpoints
 
 After deployment, you'll have:
 
-- `https://your-site.vercel.app/api/validate` - Validation endpoint
-- `https://your-site.vercel.app/api/health` - Health check
+- `https://your-site.vercel.app/api/validate` - Validation endpoint (POST)
+- `https://your-site.vercel.app/api/health` - Health check (GET)
 - `https://your-site.vercel.app/` - Web interface
 
+#### Health Check Endpoint
+
+The health check endpoint provides comprehensive status:
+
+```bash
+curl https://your-site.vercel.app/api/health
+```
+
+**Response**:
+```json
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "timestamp": "2025-01-17T12:00:00.000Z",
+  "version": "0.5.5",
+  "config": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "provider": "gemini",
+    "hasApiKey": true
+  },
+  "validation": {
+    "valid": true,
+    "warnings": []
+  },
+  "cache": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "hits": 1234,
+    "misses": 567,
+    "hitRate": 0.685
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Status Codes**:
+- `200` - Healthy (all checks pass)
+- `503` - Degraded (configuration issues, but service may still work)
+- `500` - Error (health check itself failed)
+
+Use this endpoint for:
+- Load balancer health checks
+- Monitoring and alerting
+- Deployment verification

+      timeout: 10s
+      retries: 3
+      start_period: 40s
+```
+
+## Graceful Shutdown
+
+The library includes graceful shutdown handling for long-running processes:
+
+```javascript
+import { initGracefulShutdown, registerShutdownHandler } from '@arclabs561/ai-visual-test';
+
+// Initialize (automatically done in library, but can be customized)
+initGracefulShutdown({ timeout: 30000 }); // 30 second timeout
+
+// Register custom shutdown handlers
+registerShutdownHandler(async () => {
+  // Clean up your resources
+  await closeDatabase();
+  await flushLogs();
+}, 10); // Priority (higher = called first)
+```
+
+**Features**:
+- Handles `SIGTERM` and `SIGINT` signals
+- Executes shutdown handlers in priority order
+- Flushes caches and cleans up resources
+- Timeout protection (default: 30s)
+- Handles uncaught exceptions
+
+## Monitoring and Observability
+
+### Health Checks
+
+Monitor the `/api/health` endpoint:
+- **Interval**: Check every 30-60 seconds
+- **Timeout**: 3-5 seconds
+- **Alert on**: Status `503` (degraded) or `500` (error)
+
+### Metrics to Monitor
+
+1. **Health Check Status**
+   - `status: "healthy"` vs `"degraded"` vs `"error"`
+   - Validation warnings
+
+2. **Cache Performance**
+   - Hit rate (should be >50% in production)
+   - Cache size
+
+3. **API Performance**
+   - Response times (via performance logger)
+   - Error rates
+   - Cost tracking
+
+### Logging
+
+The library includes comprehensive logging:
+- API call performance (latency, retries, costs)
+- Cache operations (hits, misses, evictions)
+- Temporal decisions (when prompts trigger/skip)
+- Error patterns
+
+Enable debug logging:
+```javascript
+import { setDebugEnabled } from '@arclabs561/ai-visual-test';
+
+setDebugEnabled(true);
+```

-- **Design principles** - Validates brutalist, minimal, or other styles
-- **Temporal testing** - Analyzes animations and gameplay over time
-- **State validation** - Fast programmatic or VLLM extraction
-- **Game testing** - Validate gameplay with variable goals
-- **Natural language specs** - Write tests in plain English

-## API
-
-### Core
+### 1. Hybrid Validation
+Combines deterministic code checks (contrast ratios, aria-labels) with AI visual judgment.
 
 ```javascript
-import { validateScreenshot, createConfig } from '@arclabs561/ai-visual-test';
+import { validateAccessibilityHybrid } from '@arclabs561/ai-visual-test/validators';
+// Checks code AND pixels
+const result = await validateAccessibilityHybrid(page, 'shot.png');
+```
 
-// Configure (optional - auto-detects from env)
-const config = createConfig({
-  provider: 'gemini',
-  apiKey: process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY
-});
+### 2. AI Game Agent
+Plays Canvas/WebGL games by analyzing screenshots and planning actions. Includes Reflexion (learning from mistakes) and Chain of Thought.
 
-// Validate
-const result = await validateScreenshot(
-  'screenshot.png',
-  'Evaluate this screenshot',
-  { testType: 'payment-screen' }
-);
+```javascript
+import { playGame } from '@arclabs561/ai-visual-test';
+await playGame(page, { goal: 'Win the level', maxSteps: 50 });
 ```
 
-### Sub-modules (better tree-shaking)
+### 3. Cost Optimization
+Caching, model tiering, and provider selection. See `test/performance/optimization-claims-validation.test.mjs` for validation.
