 # @checkstack/gitops-common
 
+## 0.2.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Updated dependencies [8d1ef12]
+  - @checkstack/common@0.7.0
+
+## 0.2.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- 8ef367a: Added `registerSpecSchemaDocumentation` to EntityKindRegistry to allow plugins to provide detailed JSON Schemas for specific configurations. The frontend now displays these registered schemas as dropdown alternatives, improving the developer experience when authoring GitOps configurations.
+- cb65e9d: ### Schema-driven secret resolution, rotation invalidation, and security hardening
+
+  **Breaking**: Replaced `{ secretRef: "..." }` object syntax with `${{ secrets.NAME }}` template interpolation. The `secretField()`, `secretRefSchema`, `isSecretRef`, `SecretRef`, and `ResolvedSecretField` exports have been removed from `@checkstack/gitops-common`.
+
+  **Breaking**: `ReconcileContext.resolveSecretsBySchema()` now returns `{ resolved: T; warnings: string[] }` instead of `T` directly. Plugins must destructure the result. Warnings contain messages for `${{ secrets.NAME }}` templates found in non-secret fields (fields without `x-secret` annotation).
+
+  **New features**:
+
+  - Secrets can be referenced in **any string field** using `${{ secrets.NAME }}` syntax
+  - Inline interpolation is supported: `"postgres://user:${{ secrets.DB_PASS }}@host/db"`
+  - Resolution is **schema-driven** — reuses the existing `configString({ "x-secret": true })` pattern from DynamicForm
+  - Secret rotation now automatically invalidates affected entities, triggering re-reconciliation on the next sync cycle
+  - New `getSecretUsage` RPC endpoint to look up which entities reference a given secret
+  - Secrets UI now shows an expandable usage panel per secret showing referencing entities
+  - Reconciliation warnings: templates in non-secret fields are detected and surfaced in the provenance UI
+  - New `secretNameSchema` and `SECRET_NAME_REGEX` exports for validating secret names
+
+  **Security**:
+
+  - Secret names are validated at creation: must start with a letter, contain only `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]`, max 63 chars
+  - Secrets are validated to exist at sync time but **not pre-resolved** into the spec
+  - Templates in `metadata` fields are **rejected** to prevent secret leaks via display fields
+  - Only fields with `x-secret` schema annotations get resolved — no escape hatch
+  - Templates in non-secret fields emit warnings (stored in provenance, visible in UI) instead of silently passing
+
+  **Migration**: Update YAML descriptors to use `${{ secrets.NAME }}` instead of `secretRef: name`. Remove `secretField()` imports from plugin schemas — use `configString({ "x-secret": true })` to annotate secret fields. Destructure `const { resolved } = await context.resolveSecretsBySchema({ value, schema })` (return type changed from `T` to `{ resolved: T; warnings: string[] }`).
