+- [#3075](https://github.com/equinor/fusion-framework/pull/3075) [`8fffbfb`](https://github.com/equinor/fusion-framework/commit/8fffbfb12daa9748bf5290e5084cd4d409aed253) Thanks [@odinr](https://github.com/odinr)! - **Major Changes**
 
-- [#3075](https://github.com/equinor/fusion-framework/pull/3075) [`b8ed76f`](https://github.com/equinor/fusion-framework/commit/b8ed76f3a6d89b89315c58ec7743f5b0b7303371) Thanks [@odinr](https://github.com/odinr)! - Added alias for fusion-framework-cli to ffc
+  - **Rewrite:** The CLI has been rewritten to use Fusion Framework internally, minimizing dependencies and improving performance. It is now a first-class citizen in the Fusion Framework ecosystem, providing a more consistent and integrated experience.
+  - **Dev Portal Modularization:** The dev portal has been moved to a separate package `@equinor/fusion-framework-dev-server`, enabling modular architecture and independent updates. The dev portal can be configured via `dev-server.config.js` and supports live preview and API mocking.
+  - **Command Structure:** CLI is now divided into three main groups: `bin` (executable functions), `commands` (CLI commands), and `lib` (for consumers, config, and utilities). This improves organization and modularity.
+  - **BREAKING:** The `--service` flag has been removed. The CLI now uses service discovery via Fusion environment variables. All `app -build-???` commands are deprecated and will be removed in the next major version.
 
-- [#3075](https://github.com/equinor/fusion-framework/pull/3075) [`7b8aca4`](https://github.com/equinor/fusion-framework/commit/7b8aca443197791053da20f3b43784ec69f3f4b7) Thanks [@odinr](https://github.com/odinr)! - - Added a new command to the CLI for managing portal configuration.
-  - This update introduces enhanced support for portal config operations via the `@equinor/fusion-framework-cli` package.
+  - **Dev Server Abstraction:** Vite configuration and dev server functionality has been abstracted into the `@equinor/fusion-framework-dev-server` package. The CLI now provides a higher-level API that handles Vite configuration internally, eliminating the need for users to manage Vite configuration directly while still allowing for customization through configuration options.
 
-## 11.0.0-next.5
+  - **New Utility Functions:** The CLI now includes new utility modules for resolving CI/CD metadata (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), git commit and remote info, and package metadata. These utilities support advanced scripting and automation scenarios.

+  - **Portal Config Support:** Added helpers for loading and resolving portal configuration files, with new types and utilities for authoring static or dynamic portal configs. Dev server logic updated to use resolved portal config.
+  - **Manifest Refactor:** Portal manifest now uses `name` and `templateEntry` for consistency with app manifests. Dev server config and routing updated. Asset paths now use `/@fs` for local development. Improved type safety and schema validation.
+  - **ESM Modernization:** Refactored CLI to use deepmerge instead of lodash.mergewith, updated all imports to use explicit `.js` extensions, and re-exported all bin entrypoints for ESM compatibility. Updated package.json and tsconfig.json for ESM.
 
-  - Dev server configuration and routing updated to expect and utilize the new manifest structure.
-  - Asset paths for development and preview builds now use `/@fs` for more reliable local development.
-  - Type safety and schema validation for portal manifests have been improved.
-  - Minor typos fixed and comments clarified throughout related files.
+  **Patch Changes**
 
-  This refactor unifies manifest handling between apps and portals, simplifies local development, and ensures better type safety and validation. It also improves maintainability and developer experience by making configuration more predictable and robust.
+  - **Dev Server Config:** Refactored config loading and merging, added `RecursivePartial` type, custom array merge strategy, and improved documentation. Arrays of route objects are now merged by `match` property to ensure uniqueness.
+  - **Node Version Check:** Added Node.js version check and LTS recommendation to CLI entrypoint. Build config injects version info via environment variables.

-### Major Changes
-
-- [#3074](https://github.com/equinor/fusion-framework/pull/3074) [`6b034e5`](https://github.com/equinor/fusion-framework/commit/6b034e5459094cea0c0f2490335eef3092390a13) Thanks [@odinr](https://github.com/odinr)! - The CLI has been rewritten to use Fusion Framework internally to minimize dependencies and improve performance. This change allows the CLI to be more efficient and maintainable. It also means that the CLI is now a first-class citizen in the Fusion Framework ecosystem, providing a more consistent and integrated experience.
-
-  The dev portal has been moved out to a separate package `@equinor/fusion-framework-dev-server`. This separation allows for a more modular architecture, enabling developers to use the dev portal independently of the CLI. It also facilitates easier updates and maintenance of the dev portal without affecting the CLI functionality. It also allows for 3rd party developers to create their own dev portals using the Fusion Framework. Also, moving the dev portal to a separate package allows for better versioning and dependency management, ensuring that developers can always use the latest features and improvements without being tied to the CLI release cycle.
-
-  The dev portal can be configured using the `dev-server.config.js` file, which allows developers to customize the behavior and appearance of the dev portal. This configuration file provides flexibility in how the dev portal operates, enabling developers to tailor it to their specific needs and preferences. **this is currently not documented, but will be in the future**
-
-  Since the dev portal uses the plugin `@equinor/fusion-framework-vite-plugin-spa`, it is possible to specify a live portal to preview the application in the dev portal. This feature allows developers to see their changes in real-time, enhancing the development experience and speeding up the feedback loop. It is particularly useful for testing and debugging applications during development.
-
-  The dev portal also supports mocking API services, which allows developers to simulate backend services without needing a live server. This feature is particularly useful for testing and development, as it enables developers to work on the frontend independently of the backend, ensuring a smoother development process. **this is currently not documented, but will be in the future**
-
-  The dev portal is a key component of the Fusion Framework ecosystem, providing a user-friendly interface for developers to interact with their applications. It allows developers to easily manage and test their applications, providing a streamlined development experience.
-
-  The Dev Portal uses by default the `@equinor/fusion-framework-dev-portal` package, which is the official dev portal package provided by Fusion which is developer-friendly portal for developing and testing Fusion Framework applications. But it is possible to specify any package as a dev portal, allowing for customization of the development experience. This flexibility enables developers to create their own dev portals or use third-party solutions that better fit their needs.
-
-  The CLI now supports the `fusion-framework-cli auth login` command for authentication, which is a more secure and user-friendly way to manage access to Fusion Framework applications. This command simplifies the authentication process, making it easier for developers to log in and start working on their applications without needing to manually set environment variables or manage tokens. _`FUSION_TOKEN`_ is still supported for CI/CD and automation, but the CLI now provides a more streamlined and intuitive way to handle authentication.
-
-  The CLI has now been divided into three main groups:
-
-  - **bin**: This namespace contains executable functions that can be executed from node scripts, handy for automation and scripting or creating a custom CLI.
-  - **commands**: This namespace contains commands that can be executed from the CLI, providing a user-friendly interface for developers to interact with the Fusion Framework.
-  - **lib**: This namespace is reserved for consumers of the CLI, like defining configuration files, exposing interfaces, and other utilities that can be used in custom scripts or applications. This separation allows for better organization and modularity of the CLI codebase, making it easier to maintain and extend.

-  **BREAKING CHANGES:**
+- [#3268](https://github.com/equinor/fusion-framework/pull/3268) [`7ef5afc`](https://github.com/equinor/fusion-framework/commit/7ef5afc96a8c2cebecedc85703be820d84e3885a) Thanks [@odinr](https://github.com/odinr)! - Fix: Improve type safety and error handling in `AppAssetExportPlugin` (app-assets plugin).
 
-  the `--service` flag has been removed since the CLI now uses the Fusion Framework internally, which does not require this flag, but uses service discovery to resolve endpoints automatically according to provided Fusion environment variables. This change simplifies the CLI usage and aligns it more closely with the Fusion Framework's architecture, allowing for a more seamless integration and improved developer experience.
+  - Use `unknown as PluginContext` for type casting in `resolveId` and `emitAssetSync` calls.
+  - Add null check and warning if asset emission fails.
+  - Minor code style and safety improvements.
 
-  All `app -build-???` has alias to correct commands, but been flagged as deprecated and will be removed in the next major version.
+  This change improves plugin robustness and aligns with best practices for Vite/Rollup plugin development.

+**Key fields:**
+- `main`: **Required** - Points to your build output directory (CLI uses this to determine where to place built files)
+- `files`: Specifies which files to include in your app bundle
