+### Added
+
+- **45 new `primordials` exports** rounding out the surface to 296 total:
+  - `BigIntCtor`
+  - Math: 24 methods (Acos, Atan2, Hypot, Pow, etc.) + 8 constants (E, PI, SQRT2, etc.); `MathF16round` typed `| undefined` for ES2025
+  - Number constants: `EPSILON`, `MAX_SAFE_INTEGER`, `MAX_VALUE`, `MIN_SAFE_INTEGER`, `MIN_VALUE`, `NEGATIVE_INFINITY`, `POSITIVE_INFINITY`
+  - Symbol: 10 well-knowns (`HasInstance`, `KeyFor`, `Match`, `Species`, etc.); `SymbolAsyncDispose` / `SymbolDispose` typed `| undefined` for ES2024; prototype helpers (`Description`, `ToString`, `ValueOf`)
+  - Function: `FunctionPrototypeToString`
+  - Array (ES2023 Change Array By Copy): `ArrayPrototypeToSpliced`, `ArrayPrototypeWith`
+  - Globals: `InfinityValue`, `NaNValue`, `globalThisRef`
+  - Object (annex B): `ObjectPrototype{Define,Lookup}{Getter,Setter}`
+  - Error (V8 stack-trace API, `| undefined`): `ErrorCaptureStackTrace`, `ErrorPrepareStackTrace`, `ErrorStackTraceLimit` (function-shaped, reads live value)
+
+- **`smol/*` (new exports)** — feature-detect + lazy-loaders for socket-btm's smol Node binary:
+  - `smol/detect` — `isSmol()`: memoized boolean, mirrors `isSeaBinary()`
+  - `smol/util` — `getSmolUtil()`: native `uncurryThis` / `applyBind` (~2x faster), or `undefined`
+  - `smol/primordial` — `getSmolPrimordial()`: V8 Fast API typed `Math.*` / `Number.is*` (~30-50% faster on hot loops), or `undefined`
+  - `primordials` transparently routes through these on smol; **zero call-site changes**, identical behavior on stock Node, smol, browsers, Deno, Bun
+
+- **`node/*` (new exports)** — per-builtin lazy-loaders for `node:*` modules. Each is `/*@__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__*/`-marked so bundlers tree-shake the `require()` when unused:
+  - `node/fs` (`getNodeFs`), `node/path` (`getNodePath`), `node/crypto` (`getNodeCrypto`), `node/http` (`getNodeHttp`), `node/https` (`getNodeHttps`), `node/os` (`getNodeOs`), `node/util` (`getNodeUtil`), `node/url` (`getNodeUrl`), `node/events` (`getNodeEvents`)
+  - `node/child-process` (`getNodeChildProcess`), `node/async-hooks` (`getNodeAsyncHooks`), `node/fs-promises` (`getNodeFsPromises`), `node/timers-promises` (`getNodeTimersPromises`)
+  - Replaces ~30 ad-hoc copies of the same lazy-loader boilerplate previously scattered across `http-request.ts`, `spawn.ts`, `fs.ts`, `crypto.ts`, etc.
+
+## [5.26.1](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.26.1) - 2026-05-01
+
+### Added
+
+- `crypto` (new export) — `hash(algorithm, data, encoding)` one-shot helper that prefers Node's native `crypto.hash` (added v21.7.0 / v20.12.0; ~30% faster than `createHash().update().digest()` on small inputs) with a streaming fallback. `getNativeHash` exposed as `@internal` for tests
+- `promises` `fromAsync<T>(source)` — drains an async iterable into an array, per [TC39 Array.fromAsync](https://tc39.es/proposal-array-from-async/). Backed by the new `ArrayFromAsync` primordial (Node 22+) with a `for await` + push fallback
+- `primordials` `ArrayFromAsync` — ES2024 primordial. Unbound, matching `ArrayFrom`
+- `globs` `glob` / `globSync` route through `node:fs.glob` / `node:fs.globSync` (Node 22+) when caller options reduce to `cwd` + `ignore` (mapped to `exclude`); fall back to fast-glob for the wider option surface. Output paths are normalized to forward slashes on Windows to match fast-glob's contract
+- `effects/shimmer` — pure-functional shimmer engine
+- `effects/shimmer-terminal` — terminal (ANSI) renderer for the engine
+- `effects/shimmer-keyframes` — SVG keyframe batcher for the engine
+- `releases/github-types`, `github-assets`, `github-auth`, `github-api`, `github-downloads`, `github-archives` — six focused submodules replacing the single `releases/github` export
+
+### Changed
+
+- `http-request` retry/backoff sites use `setTimeout` from `node:timers/promises` instead of hand-rolled `new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, ms))`
+- `dlx/cache`, `dlx/integrity`, `dlx/binary` — 4 one-shot hash sites switched to the new `crypto.hash()` helper
+- `package.json` — pin `publishConfig: {access: "public", provenance: true}` so attestation is a property of the package, not a property of the workflow's `--provenance` CLI flag. Survives any direct-publish path that bypasses `provenance.yml`. `access: "public"` also load-bears for first-publish of `@scoped` packages on a fresh npm registry session.
+- `promise-queue.runNext` — replace the `PromiseResolve().then().catch().finally()` chain with an async IIFE + try/catch/finally. Same semantics (defers `task.fn()` by one microtask so synchronous throws become rejections), more explicit about the success/error/cleanup flow.
+- `packages/isolation.resolveRealPath` — replace `realpath().catch(fallback)` with try/await/catch. Same fall-back-on-ENOENT behavior, clearer that the catch is intentional.
+- **BREAKING**: `spinner` `ShimmerInfo` shape — `{ direction, speed, frame }` (was: `currentDir`, `mode`, `speed`, `step`). User-facing `ShimmerConfig` is unchanged
+- `getLatestRelease` / `getReleaseAssetUrl` return `undefined` (was: `null`) when no result is found, and no longer log on success/retry — errors throw, success returns
+
+### Removed
+
+- **BREAKING**: `effects/text-shimmer`, `effects/ultra`, `effects/types` subpath exports. Migrate to `effects/shimmer` (+ `effects/shimmer-terminal`); `RAINBOW_GRADIENT` now lives in `themes/utils`
+- **BREAKING**: `themes` barrel export. Import from `themes/themes`, `themes/context`, `themes/utils`, or `themes/types`
+- **BREAKING**: `releases/github` subpath export. Migrate to the focused submodules (see Added)
+- `getLatestRelease({ quiet })` / `getReleaseAssetUrl({ quiet })` — the helpers no longer log
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/primordials` `StringPrototypeReplace` / `StringPrototypeReplaceAll` — `replaceValue` parameter now accepts the callback form (`(substring, ...args) => string`) in addition to a literal string, matching `String.prototype.replace`'s actual signature
+- `globs` `getGlobMatcher` — narrow the `path.matchesGlob` fast-path that an earlier draft introduced. `path.matchesGlob` doesn't honor the picomatch defaults (`dot: true`, `nocase: true`) that callers expect, so taking the fast-path under those defaults silently changed observable behavior — including breaking the case-insensitive default everywhere a single-pattern matcher was used. The fast-path now activates only when the caller has explicitly opted out of both defaults (`nocase: false` AND `dot: false`), signaling "I want strict, case-sensitive, no-dotfile-match" — exactly what `path.matchesGlob` provides
+- `globs` `glob` / `globSync` — normalize results to forward slashes via `paths/normalize.normalizePath` regardless of which backend (`node:fs.glob` or `fast-glob`) was used. Restores fast-glob's forward-slash contract on Windows, where `node:fs.glob` returns native-OS separators
+- `globs` `glob` / `globSync` / `globStreamLicenses` — strip a trailing `/` from `ignore` patterns before passing them to fast-glob. The gitignore convention of writing directory entries as `dist/` was silently dropped at the deep-filter level (fast-glob walked the entire subtree before discarding results), which on a large `dist/` could push memory past the limit. fast-glob v3.3.3 and the unreleased v4 both have the bug; tracked at [mrmlnc/fast-glob#437](https://github.com/mrmlnc/fast-glob/issues/437). Same workaround as [SocketDev/socket-cli#1288](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-cli/pull/1288).
+- `releases/github-api` `getLatestRelease` and `getReleaseAssetUrl` transparently fall back to GraphQL when GitHub REST returns 200 + empty body (search-degraded incident shape)
+- `github` `resolveRefToSha` and `fetchGhsaDetails` get the same GraphQL fallback for the same incident shape
+- All fallbacks only fire on the empty-body signature; real 404s, rate-limits, and 5xx still propagate
+
+## [5.26.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.26.0) - 2026-04-27
+
+### Added
+
+- `github` `GitHubEmptyBodyError` — exported error class for GitHub's "search degraded" 200 OK + empty body incident shape
+- `nothrow` option on `getLatestRelease` and `getReleaseAssetUrl` — return `undefined` instead of throwing when both REST and GraphQL backends are degraded
+
+### Changed
+
+- `getLatestRelease` / `getReleaseAssetUrl` return `undefined` (was: `null`) when no result is found, and no longer log on success/retry — errors throw, success returns
+- `fetchGhsaDetails` GraphQL fallback normalizes severity to lowercase to match REST shape
+
+### Removed
+
+- `getLatestRelease({ quiet })` / `getReleaseAssetUrl({ quiet })` — no longer accepted (the helpers don't log anymore)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `releases/github` `getLatestRelease` and `getReleaseAssetUrl` fall back to GraphQL on the empty-body incident shape
+- `github` `resolveRefToSha` and `fetchGhsaDetails` get the same GraphQL fallback
+- All fallbacks fire only on `GitHubEmptyBodyError`; real 404s / rate-limits / 5xx still propagate
+
+## [5.25.1](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.25.1) - 2026-04-27
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `primordials` `StringPrototypeReplace` / `StringPrototypeReplaceAll` — `replaceValue` accepts the callback form, matching `String.prototype.replace`
 
 ## [5.25.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.25.0) - 2026-04-26
 
 ### Added
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/primordials` — new public module exposing safe references to ~100 built-in constructors, static methods, and prototype methods captured at module-load time. Mirrors the Node.js-internal primordials convention: static methods retain their name (`ObjectKeys`, `ArrayIsArray`, `JSONParse`, `ReflectApply`); prototype methods are uncurried via `uncurryThis` (`StringPrototypeSlice(str, 0, 3)` instead of `str.slice(0, 3)`); constructors get a `Ctor` suffix (`MapCtor`, `SetCtor`, `ErrorCtor`, …) to avoid shadowing the capital-case global. Library internals migrated to use these helpers so prototype-pollution attacks on the caller realm can't redirect them. Surface includes `Function`, `Math`, and the full Error subclass set (`TypeErrorCtor`, `RangeErrorCtor`, `SyntaxErrorCtor`, `ReferenceErrorCtor`, `URIErrorCtor`, `EvalErrorCtor`, `AggregateErrorCtor`) after audit-driven coverage passes
+- `primordials` — public module exposing ~100 safe references to built-in constructors, static methods, and prototype methods captured at load time. Static methods keep their name (`ObjectKeys`, `JSONParse`); prototype methods are uncurried (`StringPrototypeSlice(str, 0, 3)`); constructors use a `Ctor` suffix (`MapCtor`, `ErrorCtor`)
 
 ## [5.24.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.24.0) - 2026-04-22
 
 ### Removed
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/env/socket-cli-shadow` — deleted. Unused after Socket CLI's shadow infrastructure was removed
+- `env/socket-cli-shadow` — deleted (unused)
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- `packPackage()` / `extractPackage()` now work for non-registry specs (local dir/tarball, remote tarball URL, git). The bundled pacote fetchers (`dir.js`, `file.js`, `remote.js`, `git.js`) were over-stubbed and broke every non-registry path
-- `EditablePackageJson.prepare()` no longer throws `git.find is not a function`. `@npmcli/git` is reached from `normalize.gitHead`, not just `arb.audit()`, so it can't be stubbed
-- `packPackage(<dir>)` now runs `prepack` / `postpack` scripts instead of throwing `runScript is not a function`. `@npmcli/run-script` is reachable whenever `ignoreScripts` isn't set
+- `packPackage()` / `extractPackage()` work for non-registry specs (local dir/tarball, remote tarball, git)
+- `EditablePackageJson.prepare()` no longer throws `git.find is not a function`
+- `packPackage(<dir>)` runs `prepack` / `postpack` scripts instead of throwing
 
 ## [5.23.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.23.0) - 2026-04-22
 
 ### Added
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/errors` `isError(value)` — spec-compliant ES2025 [`Error.isError`](https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-error.iserror) with an `@@toStringTag`-based shim for older engines. Recognizes cross-realm Errors (worker threads, vm contexts, iframes) that same-realm `instanceof Error` misses
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/errors` `errorMessage(value)` — extracts a readable message from any caught value (Error with cause chain via `messageWithCauses`, primitive, plain object, or nullish) with the shared `UNKNOWN_ERROR` (`'Unknown error'`) fallback. Replaces the `e instanceof Error ? e.message : String(e)` pattern
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/errors` `errorStack(value)` — companion helper returning the cause-aware stack for Error instances (via `stackWithCauses`) and `undefined` otherwise
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/errors` `isErrnoException(value)` — narrows to `NodeJS.ErrnoException` (an Error with a non-empty uppercase-prefixed `.code`, matching the libuv `UV_E*` / Node `ERR_*` conventions), cross-realm safe
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/errors` re-exports `UNKNOWN_ERROR` from `constants/core` so callers don't need a separate import
+- `errors` `isError(value)` — spec-compliant ES2025 [`Error.isError`](https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-error.iserror), cross-realm safe
+- `errors` `errorMessage(value)` — readable message from any caught value (Error, primitive, object, nullish) with cause-chain support
+- `errors` `errorStack(value)` — cause-aware stack or `undefined`
+- `errors` `isErrnoException(value)` — narrows to `NodeJS.ErrnoException`, cross-realm safe
+- `errors` re-exports `UNKNOWN_ERROR`
 
 ### Changed
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/errors` pony-cause `messageWithCauses` / `stackWithCauses` / `findCauseByReference` / `getErrorCause` — patched to use `isError` internally so cross-realm Errors are recognized (previously returned `''` for any Error thrown in a different realm)
+- pony-cause `messageWithCauses` / `stackWithCauses` / `findCauseByReference` / `getErrorCause` use `isError` internally — cross-realm Errors are recognized (previously returned `''`)
 
 ## [5.22.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.22.0) - 2026-04-21
 
 ### Changed
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/releases/socket-btm` `getPlatformArch()` / `getBinaryAssetName()` — aligned with pnpm pack-app's `<os>-<arch>[-<libc>]` target format. The Windows OS segment is now `win32` (was `win`); `getPlatformArch('win32', 'x64')` returns `'win32-x64'` and `getBinaryAssetName('node', 'win32', 'x64')` returns `'node-win32-x64.exe'`. Callers that string-match on the output need updates
+- `releases/socket-btm` `getPlatformArch()` / `getBinaryAssetName()` — aligned with pnpm pack-app's `<os>-<arch>[-<libc>]` format. Windows OS segment is now `win32` (was `win`)
 
 ## [5.21.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.21.0) - 2026-04-20
 
 ### Added
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/schema/validate` — non-throwing Zod/TypeBox validator returning `{ ok, value } | { ok, errors }` with normalized paths
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/schema/parse` — throwing variant for fail-fast trust boundaries
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/schema/types` — `Schema<T>`, `ValidateResult<T>`, `ValidationIssue`, `AnySchema`, `Infer<S>`
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/promises` `withResolvers()` — spec-compliant [`Promise.withResolvers`](https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-promise.withResolvers) helper with `PromiseWithResolvers<T>` type. Uses the native implementation when available
+- `schema/validate` — non-throwing Zod/TypeBox validator returning `{ ok, value } | { ok, errors }`
+- `schema/parse` — throwing variant for fail-fast trust boundaries
+- `schema/types` — `Schema<T>`, `ValidateResult<T>`, `ValidationIssue`, `AnySchema`, `Infer<S>`
+- `promises` `withResolvers()` — spec-compliant [`Promise.withResolvers`](https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-promise.withResolvers); uses native when available
 
 ### Changed
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/regexps` `escapeRegExp()` — now spec-compliant with TC39 [`RegExp.escape`](https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-regexp.escape); uses the native implementation when available. **Caller-visible shape change**: escaped output now uses `\xHH` for many characters that previously passed through literally (e.g. `escapeRegExp('a')` is now `'\x61'`). Functional equivalence (the compiled regex matches the original input) is preserved; only callers that string-match on escape output need updates
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/memoization` `MemoizeOptions<Args>` — dropped the unused second type parameter. Consumers who wrote `MemoizeOptions<Args, Result>` must drop the second argument
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/packages/specs` `getRepoUrlDetails()` — now accepts `git+https://` / `git+ssh://` GitHub URLs and rejects lookalike hosts (`githubXcom`, `fake-github.com.attacker.tld`). scp-style `git@github.com:…` URLs (no `://`) now return `{ user: '', project: '' }` — callers must normalize to https/ssh upstream
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/url` `urlSearchParamAsBoolean()` — accepts the same truthy vocabulary as `envAsBoolean` (`1` / `true` / `yes` / `on`, case-insensitive). Empty-string input now falls through to `defaultValue` instead of returning `false`
+- `regexps` `escapeRegExp()` — now spec-compliant with TC39 [`RegExp.escape`](https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-regexp.escape). **Output shape changed**: many characters now escape to `\xHH` (e.g. `'a'` → `'\x61'`); compiled regex behavior is preserved
+- `memoization` `MemoizeOptions<Args>` — dropped unused second type parameter
+- `packages/specs` `getRepoUrlDetails()` — accepts `git+https://` / `git+ssh://` GitHub URLs; rejects lookalike hosts. scp-style `git@github.com:…` returns `{ user: '', project: '' }`
+- `url` `urlSearchParamAsBoolean()` — accepts the same truthy vocabulary as `envAsBoolean` (`1` / `true` / `yes` / `on`); empty string falls through to `defaultValue`
 
 ### Removed
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/validation/*` subpath retired — exports re-homed:
-  - `validateSchema` / `parseSchema` → `@socketsecurity/lib/schema/validate` / `@socketsecurity/lib/schema/parse`
-  - `safeJsonParse` → `@socketsecurity/lib/json/parse`
-  - Types → `@socketsecurity/lib/schema/types` and `@socketsecurity/lib/json/types`
-- `memoizeDebounced` from `@socketsecurity/lib/memoization` — was misnamed and had no consumers. Use `memoize` / `memoizeAsync` with a `ttl` instead
+- `validation/*` subpath retired — exports re-homed: `validateSchema` / `parseSchema` → `schema/validate` / `schema/parse`; `safeJsonParse` → `json/parse`; types → `schema/types` and `json/types`
+- `memoization` `memoizeDebounced` — use `memoize` / `memoizeAsync` with a `ttl` instead
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/versions` `maxVersion()` / `minVersion()` — return the latest/earliest prerelease for all-prerelease inputs (previously returned `undefined`)
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/fs` `findUp()` / `findUpSync()` — traverse up to and **including** the filesystem root (previously missed matches at `/.foo`)
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/words` `capitalize()` — safe for non-BMP characters (emoji, astral-plane scripts); previously produced broken surrogate pairs
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/words` `determineArticle()` — case-insensitive vowel match (`Apple` → `an Apple`)
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/archives` `extractZip()` / `extractTar()` / `extractTarGz()` — missing-archive errors now uniformly surface as `ENOENT` with `code` / `path` / message (previously `extractZip` surfaced adm-zip's generic `"Invalid filename"`)
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/promise-queue` — bounded queue now rejects the newest submission when full, preserving in-flight work
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/cacache` / `@socketsecurity/lib/cache-with-ttl` — wildcard key deletion anchors both ends of the pattern (`deleteAll('foo*bar')` no longer sweeps `foo123bar-extra`)
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/process-lock` — sub-second `staleMs` values now honored at full precision; TOCTOU window on lock acquisition closed
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/suppress-warnings` `withSuppressedWarnings()` — no longer wipes concurrent suppressions on exit
-- Unbounded LRU caches in `@socketsecurity/lib/dlx` capped (binary path, package.json path); negative package.json lookups now expire after 10s
-- Glob cache keys for array-valued options (e.g. `ignore`) are order-insensitive
+- `versions` `maxVersion()` / `minVersion()` — return latest/earliest prerelease for all-prerelease inputs
+- `fs` `findUp()` / `findUpSync()` — traverse up to and including the filesystem root
+- `words` `capitalize()` — safe for non-BMP characters (emoji, astral-plane scripts)
+- `words` `determineArticle()` — case-insensitive vowel match
+- `archives` `extractZip` / `extractTar` / `extractTarGz` — missing-archive errors uniformly surface as `ENOENT`
+- `promise-queue` — bounded queue rejects newest submission when full, preserving in-flight work
+- `cacache` / `cache-with-ttl` — wildcard key deletion anchors both ends of the pattern
+- `process-lock` — sub-second `staleMs` values honored at full precision; TOCTOU window on acquisition closed
+- `suppress-warnings` `withSuppressedWarnings()` — no longer wipes concurrent suppressions on exit
+- `dlx` LRU caches capped (binary path, package.json path); negative package.json lookups expire after 10s
+- Glob cache keys for array-valued options are order-insensitive
 
 ### Performance
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/memoization` — `memoize()` / `memoizeAsync()` cache-hit bookkeeping dropped from O(n) to O(1). Noticeable on caches with many entries
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/cacache` — wildcard `clear()` no longer recompiles the match regex per streamed entry
+- `memoization` cache-hit bookkeeping is now O(1) (was O(n))
+- `cacache` wildcard `clear()` no longer recompiles the match regex per entry
 
 ## [5.20.1](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.20.1) - 2026-04-19
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/ipc` — harden stub-file writes against symlink/TOCTOU attacks on shared-tmp filesystems (POSIX ownership + mode validation, `O_EXCL | O_NOFOLLOW` open)
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/cache-with-ttl` `getOrFetch()` — close concurrent-caller race that let two cold-cache awaits both skip the inflight-dedupe check and fire the fetcher twice
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/cache-with-ttl` — cap the in-memory memo layer with LRU eviction (`memoMaxSize`, default 1000); long-running processes no longer grow unbounded
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/memoization` `memoizeAsync()` — refresh cache entry timestamp on resolve so slow fetches (longer than `ttl`) aren't classified as expired the moment they land
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/tables` — `displayWidth` now measures rendered terminal cells (via `stringWidth`) instead of UTF-16 code units; CJK / emoji / combining marks align correctly
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/paths/packages` — `resolvePackageJsonDirname` / `resolvePackageJsonPath` no longer mis-identify files like `/foo/my-package.json` as package manifests
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/json/edit` — `@example` import path corrected
+- `ipc` — stub-file writes hardened against symlink/TOCTOU attacks (`O_EXCL | O_NOFOLLOW`, ownership + mode validation)
+- `cache-with-ttl` `getOrFetch()` — closes concurrent-caller race that fired the fetcher twice
+- `cache-with-ttl` — in-memory memo layer capped via LRU (`memoMaxSize`, default 1000)
+- `memoization` `memoizeAsync()` — refreshes entry timestamp on resolve so slow fetches aren't immediately classified as expired
+- `tables` — `displayWidth` measures rendered terminal cells via `stringWidth` (CJK / emoji / combining marks align correctly)
+- `paths/packages` — `resolvePackageJsonDirname` / `resolvePackageJsonPath` no longer mis-identify files like `/foo/my-package.json`
 
 ## [5.20.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.20.0) - 2026-04-19
 
 ### Added
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/validation/validate-schema` — universal Zod-style schema validator with `validateSchema` (tagged result) and `parseSchema` (throwing); `Infer<S>`, `ValidateResult<T>`, `ValidationIssue`, `AnySchema` types. No runtime `zod` dependency
+- `validation/validate-schema` — universal Zod-style schema validator with `validateSchema` (tagged result) and `parseSchema` (throwing). No runtime `zod` dep
 
-> **Deprecated in 5.21.0**: moved to `@socketsecurity/lib/schema/*`.
+> **Deprecated in 5.21.0**: moved to `schema/*`.
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/promise-queue` — synchronous throws inside a queued task now convert to proper rejections instead of escaping as uncaught exceptions
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/stdio/progress` `formatTime()` — clamp negative milliseconds so over-ticking / clock-skewed bars don't render negative ETAs
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/dlx/lockfile` — scratch-directory cleanup can no longer clobber the real exception from the main block
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/dlx/package` `parsePackageSpec` — normalize a bare trailing `@` (e.g. `"pkg@"`) to `version: undefined`
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/stdio/prompts` — tighten an internal destructure type away from `as any`
-- `@socketsecurity/lib/http-request` — hoist checksum regex literals out of a per-line loop
+- `promise-queue` — sync throws inside a queued task convert to proper rejections (no longer escape as uncaught)
+- `stdio/progress` `formatTime()` — clamps negative milliseconds (no negative ETAs)
+- `dlx/lockfile` — scratch-directory cleanup no longer clobbers the real exception
+- `dlx/package` `parsePackageSpec` — bare trailing `@` (e.g. `"pkg@"`) normalizes to `version: undefined`
 
 ## [5.19.1](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.19.1) - 2026-04-19
 
 ### Fixed
 
-Restore `@socketsecurity/lib/stdio/prompts`, `@socketsecurity/lib/stdio/progress`, and `@socketsecurity/lib/stdio/clear` — accidentally removed in 5.19.0 without a major-bump callout. Downstream consumers that import `stdio/prompts` directly are unbroken.
+- Restored `stdio/prompts`, `stdio/progress`, and `stdio/clear` — accidentally removed in 5.19.0
 
 ## [5.19.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.19.0) - 2026-04-19

 ### Changed
 
-- **releases/socket-btm**: Refactored `downloadSocketBtmRelease()` API for caller-controlled download paths
-  - Tool name moved from config object to required first parameter
-  - Config object is now optional second parameter (was required)
-  - Removed automatic `/${toolName}/${platformArch}` directory nesting - callers now have full control over download directory structure
-  - All optional parameters in config types now explicitly typed as `| undefined`
-  - Migration example:
-    - Before: `downloadSocketBtmRelease({ tool: 'lief', downloadDir: 'build' })`
-    - After: `downloadSocketBtmRelease('lief', { downloadDir: 'build' })`
-  - Rationale: Previous automatic path nesting created unexpected directory structures (e.g., `build/downloaded/lief/darwin-arm64/lief/assets/`) making it impossible for callers to predict exact file locations
+- **BREAKING**: `releases/socket-btm` `downloadSocketBtmRelease()` — tool name moved to required first parameter; config object now optional second parameter. Automatic `/${toolName}/${platformArch}` directory nesting removed (callers now control the full path).

 ### Fixed
 
-- **fs**: `safeDelete()` and `safeDeleteSync()` now properly implement retry logic
-  - Previously `maxRetries` was incorrectly passed as `concurrency` to del (parallelism, not retries)
-  - `safeDelete()` now wraps `deleteAsync()` with `pRetry()` for exponential backoff
-  - `safeDeleteSync()` implements sync retry loop with `Atomics.wait()` for non-blocking sleep
-  - Both use `backoffFactor: 2` (delay doubles each retry: 200ms → 400ms → 800ms by default)
-  - `maxRetries` and `retryDelay` options in `RemoveOptions` now work as documented
+- `fs` `safeDelete()` and `safeDeleteSync()` now properly implement retry logic. Previously `maxRetries` was incorrectly passed as `concurrency` to `del`. Both now use exponential backoff (`backoffFactor: 2`); `maxRetries` and `retryDelay` in `RemoveOptions` work as documented
 
 ## [5.9.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.9.0) - 2026-03-14
 
 ### Changed

-  - Returns `win-x64`, `win-arm64` instead of `win32-x64`, `win32-arm64`
-  - Consistent with `getBinaryAssetName()` which already uses `win` for Windows assets
-  - Aligns with socket-btm and Node.js convention: use `win` for file/folder names, `win32` for platform checks (`process.platform`)
-  - Added `PLATFORM_MAP` for explicit platform name mapping (darwin, linux, win32 → win)
-  - Now throws `Error: Unsupported platform` for unknown platform values
+- **BREAKING**: `releases/socket-btm` `getPlatformArch()` normalizes Windows to `win` (was `win32`) — returns `win-x64`, `win-arm64`. Throws on unknown platforms. (Reverted in 5.22.0 back to `win32`)
 
 ## [5.8.2](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v5.8.2) - 2026-03-13
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **http-request**: Download to temp file then atomically rename to prevent corruption
-  - Downloads now write to `{destPath}.download` temp file first
-  - On success, atomically renames to the destination path
-  - On failure, cleans up temp file and preserves any existing file at destination
-  - Prevents partial/corrupted files from CI caching causing extraction failures
+- `http-request` — downloads write to `{destPath}.download` temp file then atomically rename. Prevents partial/corrupted files from CI caching causing extraction failures

-  - All caches validate entries with `existsSync()` and remove stale entries automatically
+- Comprehensive caching for expensive PATH/realpath/git/package.json lookups across `bin`, `spawn`, `git`, `paths`, and `process-lock`. All caches validate entries via `existsSync()` and evict stale ones

+- CommonJS export interop for TypeScript `export default` no longer needs `.default` accessor
 
 ## [3.2.6](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.2.6) - 2025-11-05
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **logger**: Replace yoctocolors-cjs rgb() with manual ANSI codes
-  - The yoctocolors-cjs package doesn't have an rgb() method
-  - Manually construct ANSI escape sequences for RGB colors (ESC[38;2;r;g;bm...ESC[39m)
-  - Affects `src/logger.ts` and `src/stdio/prompts.ts` applyColor() functions
+- `logger` and `stdio/prompts` — manual ANSI escape sequences for RGB colors (yoctocolors-cjs has no `rgb()` method)
 
 ## [3.2.5](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.2.5) - 2025-11-05
 
 ### Added

+- `Logger` `time()` — start a named timer; returns `stop()` that logs completion with formatted duration
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **Spinner effects**: Fixed star spinner frames by adding trailing space for consistent spacing
-- **Build system**: Fixed external dependency bundling issues
-  - Bundle `@npmcli/package-json` with subpath exports support
-  - Use `src/external` files as bundle entry points for proper module resolution
-  - Bundle libnpmexec from npm instead of using vendored version
-  - Prevent circular dependencies with `createForceNodeModulesPlugin()` to force resolution from node_modules
-
-## [3.2.3](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.2.3) - 2025-11-03
-
-### Internal
-
-- **Build system**: Added stub infrastructure for external dependency bundling
-  - Created organized `scripts/build-externals/stubs/` directory with utility and active stubs
-  - Added conservative stubs for unused dependencies: `encoding`/`iconv-lite` and `debug`
-  - Reduces external bundle size by ~18KB (9KB from encoding stubs, 9KB from debug stubs)
+- Star spinner frames — added trailing space for consistent spacing
 
 ## [3.2.2](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.2.2) - 2025-11-03
 
 ### Added
 
-- **DLX**: Binary permission management with chmod 0o755 for all package binaries
-  - New `makePackageBinsExecutable()` function ensures all binaries in installed packages are executable
-  - Aligns with npm's cmd-shim approach for binary permissions
-  - Handles both single and multiple binary packages
-  - No-op on Windows (permissions not needed)
-
-- **DLX**: npm-compatible bin resolution via vendored `getBinFromManifest`
-  - Cherry-picked `getBinFromManifest` from libnpmexec@10.1.8 (~1.5 KB)
-  - Avoids 1.1 MB bundle by vendoring single function instead of full package
-  - Provides battle-tested npm bin resolution strategy
-  - Maintains user-friendly fallbacks for edge cases
-
-### Changed
-
-- **DLX**: Enhanced `findBinaryPath()` with npm's resolution strategy
-  - Primary: npm's `getBinFromManifest` (handles standard cases and aliases)
-  - Fallback: user-provided `binaryName` parameter
-  - Fallback: last segment of package name
-  - Last resort: first binary in list
+- `dlx` `makePackageBinsExecutable()` — chmod 0o755 on all package binaries (no-op on Windows)
+- `dlx` `findBinaryPath()` adopts npm's resolution strategy (vendored `getBinFromManifest` from libnpmexec)
 
 ### Performance
 
-- **Optimized package size**: Reduced bundle size through strategic export minimization and vendoring
-  - Vendored `getBinFromManifest` function instead of bundling full libnpmexec (~1.1 MB savings)
-  - Minimized external module exports for better tree-shaking:
-    - `fast-sort`: Now exports only `{ createNewSortInstance }` (2.1 KB, 96% reduction from ~56 KB)
-    - `fast-glob`: Now exports only `{ globStream }` (82 KB bundle)
-    - `del`: Now exports only `{ deleteAsync, deleteSync }` (100 KB bundle)
-    - `streaming-iterables`: Now exports only `{ parallelMap, transform }` (11 KB, 93% reduction from ~168 KB)
-  - Total savings: ~1.3 MB (1.1 MB from vendoring + 211 KB from minimized exports)
-  - Establishes pattern for future external module additions
+- Bundle size reduced ~1.3 MB total — vendored `getBinFromManifest` (1.1 MB savings) + minimized exports for `fast-sort`, `fast-glob`, `del`, `streaming-iterables`
 
 ## [3.2.1](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.2.1) - 2025-11-02
 
 ### Changed
 
-- **Logger/Spinner**: Use module-level constants to prevent duplicate and rogue spinner indicators
-  - Call `getDefaultLogger()` and `getDefaultSpinner()` once at module scope instead of repeated calls
-  - Prevents multiple spinner instances that can cause duplicate or lingering indicators in terminal output
-  - Applied in `src/dlx-manifest.ts`, `src/stdio/mask.ts`, and `src/spinner.ts`
-  - Follows DRY principle and aligns with socket-registry/socket-sdk-js patterns
-
-### Fixed
-
-- **Scripts**: Fixed undefined logger variable in update script
-  - Replaced undefined `log` references with `_logger` throughout `scripts/update.mjs`
-  - Resolves ESLint errors that blocked test execution
-- **Tests**: Improved stdout test stability by checking call delta instead of absolute counts
-  - Fixed flaky CI failures where spy call count was 101 instead of expected 100
-  - More robust approach handles potential state leakage between tests
-- **Tests**: Removed unnecessary 10ms delay in cache-with-ttl test
-  - Cache with memoization enabled updates in-memory storage synchronously
-  - Delay was insufficient in CI and unnecessary given synchronous behavior
-  - Resolves flaky CI failures where cached values returned undefined
+- `Logger` / `Spinner` — call `getDefaultLogger()` / `getDefaultSpinner()` once at module scope to prevent duplicate spinner indicators
 
 ## [3.2.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.2.0) - 2025-11-02
 
 ### Added
 
-- **DLX**: Unified manifest for packages and binaries

 ## [3.1.3](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.1.3) - 2025-11-02
 
 ### Changed
 
-- **Dependencies**: Updated `@socketregistry/packageurl-js` to 1.3.5
+- `@socketregistry/packageurl-js` updated to 1.3.5
 
 ## [3.1.2](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.1.2) - 2025-11-02
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **External dependencies**: Fixed incorrectly marked external dependencies to use wrapper pattern
-  - Updated `src/constants/agents.ts` to use `require('../external/which')` instead of direct imports
-  - Updated `src/zod.ts` to export from `./external/zod'` instead of direct imports
-  - Maintains zero dependencies policy by ensuring all runtime dependencies go through the external wrapper pattern
-- **Spinner**: Fixed undefined properties in setShimmer by handling defaults correctly
+- `Spinner` `setShimmer` — handle undefined properties via defaults
+- External deps now go through the wrapper pattern (`require('../external/which')`, etc.) — maintains zero-deps policy
 
 ## [3.1.1](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.1.1) - 2025-11-02
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **Cache TTL**: Fixed flaky test by handling persistent cache write failures gracefully
-  - Wrapped `cacache.put` in try/catch to prevent failures when persistent cache writes fail or are slow
-  - In-memory cache is updated synchronously before the persistent write, so immediate reads succeed regardless of persistent cache state
-  - Improves reliability in test environments and when cache directory has issues
+- `cache-with-ttl` — `cacache.put` wrapped in try/catch so persistent-cache write failures don't break in-memory reads
 
 ## [3.1.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.1.0) - 2025-11-01
 
 ### Changed
 
-- **File system utilities**: `safeMkdir` and `safeMkdirSync` now default to `recursive: true`
-  - Nested directories are created by default, simplifying common usage patterns
+- `fs` `safeMkdir` / `safeMkdirSync` default to `recursive: true`
 
 ## [3.0.6](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.0.6) - 2025-11-01
 
 ### Added
 
-- **Build validation**: Added guard against `link:` protocol dependencies in package.json
-  - New `validate-no-link-deps.mjs` script automatically runs during `pnpm run check`
-  - Prevents accidental publication with `link:` dependencies which can cause issues
-  - Recommends using `workspace:` for monorepos or `catalog:` for centralized version management
-  - Validates all dependency fields: dependencies, devDependencies, peerDependencies, optionalDependencies
+- Build validation — guard against `link:` protocol dependencies in `package.json` (`validate-no-link-deps.mjs` runs during `pnpm run check`)
 
 ### Changed
 
-- **Dependencies**: Updated `@socketregistry/packageurl-js` to 1.3.3
-- **Git hooks**: Committed pre-commit and pre-push hook configurations for version control
-- **Scripts**: Removed shebang from `validate-no-link-deps` script (Node.js script, not shell)
+- `@socketregistry/packageurl-js` updated to 1.3.3
 
 ## [3.0.5](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.0.5) - 2025-11-01
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **Critical: Prompts API breaking changes**: Restored working prompts implementation that was accidentally replaced with non-functional stub in v3.0.0
-  - Consolidated all prompts functionality into `src/stdio/prompts.ts`
-  - Removed unimplemented stub from `src/prompts/` that was throwing "not yet implemented" errors
-  - Removed `./prompts` package export (use `@socketsecurity/lib/stdio/prompts` instead)
-  - Restored missing exports: `password`, `search`, `Separator`, and added `createSeparator()` helper
-  - Fixed `Choice` type to use correct `name` property (matching `@inquirer` API, not erroneous `label`)
+- **Critical**: prompts API restored — non-functional stub from v3.0.0 replaced with working implementation. `@socketsecurity/lib/stdio/prompts` exports `password`, `search`, `Separator`, `createSeparator()`. `Choice.name` (was erroneously `label`)
 
 ### Added
 
-- **Theme integration for prompts**: Prompts now automatically use the active theme colors
-  - Prompt messages styled with `colors.prompt`
-  - Descriptions and disabled items styled with `colors.textDim`
-  - Answers and highlights styled with `colors.primary`
-  - Error messages styled with `colors.error`
-  - Success indicators styled with `colors.success`
-  - Exported `createInquirerTheme()` function for converting Socket themes to @inquirer format
-  - Consistent visual experience with Logger and Spinner theme integration
-
-- **Theme parameter support**: Logger, Prompts, and text effects now accept optional `theme` parameter
-  - Pass theme names (`'socket'`, `'sunset'`, `'terracotta'`, `'lush'`, `'ultra'`) or Theme objects
-  - **Logger**: `new Logger({ theme: 'sunset' })` - uses theme-specific symbol colors
-  - **Prompts**: `await input({ message: 'Name:', theme: 'ultra' })` - uses theme for prompt styling
-  - **Text effects**: `applyShimmer(text, state, { theme: 'terracotta' })` - uses theme for shimmer colors
-  - Instance-specific themes override global theme context when provided
-  - Falls back to global theme context when no instance theme specified
-  - **Note**: Spinner already had theme parameter support in v3.0.0
+- Prompts adopt the active theme (`colors.prompt`, `textDim`, `primary`, `error`, `success`); `createInquirerTheme()` exported
+- Theme parameter support — `Logger`, prompts, and text effects accept `theme: 'socket' | 'sunset' | 'terracotta' | 'lush' | 'ultra'` (or a Theme object)
 
 ### Removed
 
-- **Unused index entrypoint**: Removed `src/index.ts` and package exports for `"."` and `"./index"`
-  - This was a leftover from socket-registry and not needed for this library
-  - Users should import specific modules directly (e.g., `@socketsecurity/lib/logger`)
-  - Breaking: `import { getDefaultLogger } from '@socketsecurity/lib'` no longer works
-  - Use: `import { getDefaultLogger } from '@socketsecurity/lib/logger'` instead
+- **BREAKING**: `src/index.ts` deleted; main index `"."` / `"./index"` exports gone. Import specific modules: `@socketsecurity/lib/logger` instead of `@socketsecurity/lib`
 
 ## [3.0.4](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.0.4) - 2025-11-01
 
 ### Changed
 
-- **Sunset theme**: Updated colors from azure blue to warm orange/purple gradient matching Coana branding
-- **Terracotta theme**: Renamed from `brick` to `terracotta` for better clarity
+- Sunset theme — azure blue → warm orange/purple gradient (Coana branding)
+- `brick` theme renamed to `terracotta`
 
 ## [3.0.3](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.0.3) - 2025-11-01
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **Critical: Node.js ESM/CJS interop completely fixed**: Disabled minification to ensure proper ESM named import detection
-  - Root cause: esbuild minification was breaking Node.js ESM's CJS named export detection
-  - Solution: Disabled minification entirely (`minify: false` in esbuild config)
-  - Libraries should not be minified - consumers minify during their own build process
-  - Unminified esbuild output uses clear `__export` patterns that Node.js ESM natively understands
-  - Removed `fix-commonjs-exports.mjs` build script - no longer needed with unminified code
-  - ESM imports now work reliably: `import { getDefaultLogger } from '@socketsecurity/lib/logger'`
-  - Verified with real-world ESM module testing (`.mjs` files importing from CJS `.js` dist)
+- **Critical**: Node.js ESM/CJS interop — disabled esbuild minification (was breaking ESM named-import detection from CJS dist). ESM imports now work reliably
 
 ## [3.0.2](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.0.2) - 2025-11-01
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **Critical: Node.js ESM named imports from CommonJS**: Fixed build output to ensure Node.js ESM can properly detect named exports from CommonJS modules
-  - Previously, esbuild's minified export pattern placed `module.exports` before variable definitions, causing "Cannot access before initialization" errors
-  - Build script now uses `@babel/parser` + `magic-string` for safe AST parsing and transformation
-  - Exports are now correctly placed at end of files after all variable definitions
-  - Enables proper ESM named imports: `import { getDefaultLogger, Logger } from '@socketsecurity/lib/logger'`
-  - Fixes socket-cli issue where named imports were failing with obscure initialization errors
+- **Critical**: Node.js ESM named imports from CommonJS — `module.exports` placed before variable defs caused "Cannot access before initialization". Build now uses `@babel/parser` + `magic-string` to position exports at end of file
 
 ## [3.0.1](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.0.1) - 2025-11-01
 
 ### Added
 
-- **Convenience exports from main index**: Added logger and spinner exports to ease v2→v3 migration
-  - Logger: `getDefaultLogger()`, `Logger`, `LOG_SYMBOLS` now available from `@socketsecurity/lib`
-  - Spinner: `getDefaultSpinner()`, `Spinner` now available from `@socketsecurity/lib`
-  - Both main index (`@socketsecurity/lib`) and subpath (`@socketsecurity/lib/logger`, `@socketsecurity/lib/spinner`) imports now work
-  - Both import paths return the same singleton instances
+- Convenience re-exports of `getDefaultLogger`, `Logger`, `LOG_SYMBOLS`, `getDefaultSpinner`, `Spinner` from main index for v2→v3 migration
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **Critical: Spinner crashes when calling logger**: Fixed spinner internal calls to use `getDefaultLogger()` instead of removed `logger` export
-  - Spinner methods (`start()`, `stop()`, `success()`, `fail()`, etc.) no longer crash with "logger is not defined" errors
-  - All 5 internal logger access points updated to use the correct v3 API
-  - Resolves runtime errors when using spinners with hoisted variables
-
-### Changed
-
-- **Migration path improvement**: Users can now import logger/spinner from either main index or subpaths, reducing breaking change impact from v3.0.0
+- **Critical**: Spinner internal calls to removed `logger` export — use `getDefaultLogger()` (5 call sites)
 
 ## [3.0.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v3.0.0) - 2025-11-01
 
 ### Added
 
-- Theme system with 5 built-in themes: `socket`, `sunset`, `terracotta`, `lush`, `ultra`

-- DLX cross-platform binary resolution (`.cmd`, `.bat`, `.ps1` on Windows)
-- DLX programmatic options aligned with CLI conventions (`force`, `quiet`, `package`)
+- Theme system — 5 built-in themes (`socket`, `sunset`, `terracotta`, `lush`, `ultra`); `setTheme`, `getTheme`, `withTheme`, `withThemeSync`, `createTheme`, `extendTheme`, `resolveColor`, `onThemeChange`
+- `links` `link()` — themed terminal hyperlinks
+- Logger and spinner inherit theme colors
+- Spinner methods: `enableShimmer`, `disableShimmer`, `setShimmer`, `updateShimmer`
+- `dlx` cross-platform binary resolution (`.cmd`, `.bat`, `.ps1` on Windows)
 
 ### Changed
 
-- Theme context uses AsyncLocalStorage instead of manual stack management
-- Promise retry options renamed: `factor` → `backoffFactor`, `minTimeout` → `baseDelayMs`, `maxTimeout` → `maxDelayMs`
+- Theme context uses `AsyncLocalStorage` instead of manual stack
+- **BREAKING**: Promise retry options renamed — `factor` → `backoffFactor`, `minTimeout` → `baseDelayMs`, `maxTimeout` → `maxDelayMs`
 
 ### Removed
 
-**BREAKING CHANGES:**
-
-- `pushTheme()` and `popTheme()` - use `withTheme()` or `withThemeSync()` instead
-- `logger` export - use `getDefaultLogger()` instead
-- `spinner` export - use `getDefaultSpinner()` instead
-- `download-lock.ts` - use `process-lock.ts` instead
+- **BREAKING**: `pushTheme()` / `popTheme()` — use `withTheme()` / `withThemeSync()`
+- **BREAKING**: `logger` / `spinner` exports — use `getDefaultLogger()` / `getDefaultSpinner()`
+- **BREAKING**: `download-lock.ts` — use `process-lock.ts`

 ### Fixed
 
-- Updated `@socketregistry/packageurl-js` to 1.3.1 to resolve an unintended external dependency
-- **Documentation**: Corrected JSDoc `@example` import paths from `@socketsecurity/registry` to `@socketsecurity/lib` across utility modules
-  - Updated examples in `memoization.ts`, `performance.ts`, `spinner.ts`, `suppress-warnings.ts`, and `tables.ts`
-  - Ensures documentation reflects correct package name after v1.0.0 rename
+- `@socketregistry/packageurl-js` updated to 1.3.1 (resolves unintended external dep)
+- JSDoc `@example` import paths corrected after v1.0.0 rename (`@socketsecurity/registry` → `@socketsecurity/lib`)
 
 ## [2.10.2](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v2.10.2) - 2025-10-31
 
 ### Changed
 
-- **Package spec parsing**: Refactored to use official `npm-package-arg` library for robust handling of all npm package specification formats (versions, ranges, tags, git URLs)
-  - Improves reliability when parsing complex package specs
-  - Better handles edge cases in version ranges and scoped packages
-  - Falls back to simple parsing if npm-package-arg fails
+- Package spec parsing uses official `npm-package-arg` library for full npm spec support (versions, ranges, tags, git URLs); falls back to simple parsing if it fails
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **Scoped package version parsing**: Fixed critical bug where parsePackageSpec was stripping the `@` prefix from scoped packages with versions
-  - Example: `@coana-tech/cli@~14.12.51` was incorrectly parsed as `coana-tech/cli@~14.12.51`
-  - Caused package installation failures for scoped packages in DLX system
+- **Critical**: `parsePackageSpec` no longer strips the `@` prefix from scoped+versioned specs (e.g., `@coana-tech/cli@~14.12.51`)
 
 ## [2.10.1](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v2.10.1) - 2025-10-31
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **Process lock directory creation**: Use recursive mkdir to ensure parent directories exist when creating lock directory
-- **Node.js debug flags**: Remove buggy `getNodeDebugFlags()` function that returned debug flags without required argument values
+- Process lock — recursive mkdir for parent dirs
+- Removed buggy `getNodeDebugFlags()` (returned flags without required argument values)
 
 ## [2.10.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v2.10.0) - 2025-10-30
 
 ### Added
 
-- **Unified DLX metadata schema**: Standardized `.dlx-metadata.json` format across TypeScript and C++ implementations
-  - Exported `DlxMetadata` interface as canonical schema reference
-  - Core fields: `version`, `cache_key`, `timestamp`, `checksum`, `checksum_algorithm`, `platform`, `arch`, `size`, `source`
-  - Support for `source` tracking (download vs decompression origin)
-  - Reserved `extra` field for implementation-specific data
-  - Comprehensive documentation with examples for both download and decompression use cases
+- Unified `.dlx-metadata.json` schema — `DlxMetadata` interface exported. Fields: `version`, `cache_key`, `timestamp`, `checksum`, `checksum_algorithm`, `platform`, `arch`, `size`, `source` (`{ type, url }`); reserved `extra` for impl-specific data
 
 ### Changed
 
-- **DLX binary metadata structure**: Updated `writeBinaryCacheMetadata()` to use unified schema with additional fields
-  - Now includes `cache_key` (first 16 chars of SHA-512 hash)
-  - Added `size` field for cached binary size
-  - Added `checksum_algorithm` field (currently "sha256")
-  - Restructured to use `source.type` and `source.url` for origin tracking
-  - Maintains backward compatibility in `listDlxCache()` reader
+- `dlx` `writeBinaryCacheMetadata()` adopts the unified schema (`cache_key` = SHA-512 prefix, `size`, `checksum_algorithm`, `source.type`/`source.url`)
 
 ## [2.9.1](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v2.9.1) - 2025-10-30
 
 ### Added
 
-- **Smart binary detection in dlxPackage**: Automatically finds the correct binary even when package name doesn't match binary name
-  - If package has single binary, uses it automatically regardless of name
-  - Resolves packages like `@socketsecurity/cli` (binary: `socket`) without manual configuration
-  - Falls back to intelligent name matching for multi-binary packages
-- **Optional binaryName parameter**: Added `binaryName` option to `DlxPackageOptions` for explicit binary selection when auto-detection isn't sufficient
+- `dlxPackage` smart binary detection — uses single-binary packages directly regardless of name. Optional `binaryName` for explicit selection on multi-binary packages
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **Binary resolution for scoped packages**: Fixed issue where `dlxPackage` couldn't find binaries when package name didn't match binary name (e.g., `@socketsecurity/cli` with `bin: { socket: '...' }`)
+- Binary resolution for scoped packages where package name ≠ binary name (e.g., `@socketsecurity/cli` exposes `bin: { socket: '...' }`)
 
 ## [2.9.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v2.9.0) - 2025-10-30

-  - Implemented second-level granularity for mtime comparison to avoid APFS floating-point precision issues
-  - Added automatic touch timer cleanup on process exit
-  - Timers use `unref()` to prevent keeping process alive
-  - Aligns with npm's npx implementation per https://github.com/npm/cli/pull/8512
+- `process-lock` aligned with npm npx — 5s stale timeout (was 10s), 2s periodic touch, second-level mtime comparison (avoids APFS float precision), `unref()` timers, automatic cleanup on exit
 
 ## [2.5.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v2.5.0) - 2025-10-28
 
 ### Added

-  - Prevents stale locks from blocking downloads for extended periods
-  - Matches npm's battle-tested timeout range (5-10 seconds)
-  - Binary downloads now protected against concurrent corruption
-- **Binary download protection**: `dlxBinary.downloadBinary()` now uses `downloadWithLock()` to prevent corruption when multiple processes download the same binary concurrently
-  - Eliminates race conditions during parallel binary downloads
-  - Maintains checksum verification and executable permissions
+- `downloadWithLock()` default `staleTimeout` 300s → 10s (aligns with npm npx)

 ### Fixed
 
-- **Logger write() method**: Fixed `write()` to bypass Console formatting when outputting raw text
-  - Previously, `write()` used Console's internal `_stdout` stream which applied unintended formatting like group indentation
-  - Now stores a reference to the original stdout stream in a dedicated private field (`#originalStdout`) during construction
-  - The `write()` method uses this stored reference to write directly to the raw stream, bypassing all Console formatting layers
-  - Ensures raw text output without any formatting applied, fixing test failures in CI environments where writes after `indent()` were unexpectedly formatted
+- `Logger` `write()` bypasses Console formatting (group indentation, etc.) — now writes directly to the raw stdout reference captured at construction
 
 ## [2.2.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v2.2.0) - 2025-10-28
 
 ### Added

+- `downloadPackage()` / `executePackage()` — separate download and execution
 
 ## [2.0.0](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v2.0.0) - 2025-10-27
 
-### Breaking Changes
-
-**Environment Variable System Refactor**
-
-This release completely refactors the environment variable system, consolidating 60+ individual env constant files into grouped getter modules with AsyncLocalStorage-based test rewiring.
-
-**Consolidated env files** - Individual files replaced with grouped modules:
-
-- `env/github.ts` - All GitHub-related env vars (GITHUB_TOKEN, GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_API_URL, etc.)
-- `env/socket.ts` - Socket-specific env vars (SOCKET_API_TOKEN, SOCKET_CACACHE_DIR, etc.)
-- `env/socket-cli.ts` - Socket CLI env vars (SOCKET_CLI_API_TOKEN, SOCKET_CLI_CONFIG, etc.)
-- `env/npm.ts` - NPM-related env vars
-- `env/locale.ts` - Locale env vars (LANG, LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES)
-- `env/windows.ts` - Windows-specific env vars (USERPROFILE, LOCALAPPDATA, APPDATA, COMSPEC)
-- `env/xdg.ts` - XDG base directory env vars
-- `env/temp-dir.ts` - Temp directory env vars (TEMP, TMP, TMPDIR)
-- `env/test.ts` - Test framework env vars (VITEST, JEST_WORKER_ID)
-
-**Constants → Getter functions** - All env constants converted to functions:
-
-```typescript
-// Before (v1.x):
-import { GITHUB_TOKEN } from '#env/github-token'
-
-// After (v2.x):
-import { getGithubToken } from '#env/github'
-```
-
-**Deleted files** - Removed 60+ individual env constant files:
+### Changed
 
-- `env/github-token.ts`, `env/socket-api-token.ts`, etc. → Consolidated into grouped files
-- `env/getters.ts` → Functions moved to their respective grouped files
+- **BREAKING**: Environment variable system refactor — 60+ individual `env/<NAME>.ts` files consolidated into grouped getter modules:
+  - `env/github`, `env/socket`, `env/socket-cli`, `env/npm`, `env/locale`, `env/windows`, `env/xdg`, `env/temp-dir`, `env/test`
+  - All env constants converted to functions: `import { GITHUB_TOKEN } from '#env/github-token'` → `import { getGithubToken } from '#env/github'`
 
 ### Added
 
-**AsyncLocalStorage-Based Test Rewiring**
-
-New `env/rewire.ts` and `path/rewire.ts` modules provides context-isolated environment variable overrides for testing:
-
-```typescript
-import { withEnv, setEnv, resetEnv, getEnvValue } from '#env/rewire'
-
-// Option 1: Isolated context with AsyncLocalStorage
-await withEnv({ CI: '1', NODE_ENV: 'test' }, async () => {
-  // CI env var is '1' only within this block
-  // Concurrent tests don't interfere
-})
-
-// Option 2: Traditional beforeEach/afterEach pattern
-beforeEach(() => {
-  setEnv('CI', '1')
-})
-
-afterEach(() => {
-  resetEnv()
-})
-```
-
-**Features:**
-
-- Allows toggling between snapshot and live behavior
-- Compatible with `vi.stubEnv()` as fallback
-
-### Changed
-
-- Updated all dynamic `require()` statements to use path aliases (`#constants/*`, `#packages/*`)
-- Improved logger blank line tracking per stream (separate stderr/stdout tracking)
-- Exported `getCacache()` function for external use
+- `env/rewire` and `paths/rewire` — AsyncLocalStorage-based env/path overrides for testing. `withEnv({...}, async () => {})` for isolated context, or `setEnv` / `resetEnv` for `beforeEach`/`afterEach`
+- `getCacache()` exported
 
 ## [1.3.6](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v1.3.6) - 2025-10-26
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- Fixed `debug` module functions being incorrectly tree-shaken as no-ops in bundled output
-  - Removed incorrect `/*@__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__*/` annotations from `debug()`, `debugDir()`, `debugLog()`, and their `*Ns` variants
-  - These functions have side effects (logging output, spinner manipulation) and should not be removed by bundlers
-  - Fixes issue where `debugLog()` and `debugDir()` were compiled to empty no-op functions
+- `debug` functions no longer tree-shaken as no-ops — removed incorrect `/*@__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__*/` annotations on `debug`, `debugDir`, `debugLog` (+ `*Ns` variants)
 
 ## [1.3.5](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v1.3.5) - 2025-10-26
 
 ### Added
 
-- Added `createEnvProxy()` utility function to `env` module for Windows-compatible environment variable access
-  - Provides case-insensitive environment variable access (e.g., PATH, Path, path all work)

-  - Full Proxy implementation with proper handlers for get, set, has, ownKeys, getOwnPropertyDescriptor
-  - Opt-in helper for users who need Windows env var compatibility
-  - Well-documented with usage examples and performance notes
-- Added `findCaseInsensitiveEnvKey()` utility function to `env` module
-  - Searches for environment variable keys using case-insensitive matching
-  - Optimized with length fast path to minimize expensive `toUpperCase()` calls
-  - Useful for cross-platform env var access where case may vary (e.g., PATH vs Path vs path)
-- Added comprehensive test suite for `env` module with 71 tests
-  - Covers `envAsBoolean()`, `envAsNumber()`, `envAsString()` conversion utilities
-  - Tests `createEnvProxy()` with Windows environment variables and edge cases
-  - Validates `findCaseInsensitiveEnvKey()` optimization and behavior
+- `env` `createEnvProxy()` — Windows-compatible case-insensitive env var access (`PATH`, `Path`, `path` all work). Priority: overrides > exact match > case-insensitive fallback
+- `env` `findCaseInsensitiveEnvKey()` — case-insensitive key search with length fast-path
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- Fixed `spawn` module to preserve Windows `process.env` Proxy behavior
-  - When no custom environment variables are provided, use `process.env` directly instead of spreading it
-  - Preserves Windows case-insensitive environment variable access (PATH vs Path)
-  - Fixes empty CLI output issue on Windows CI runners
-  - Only spreads `process.env` when merging custom environment variables
+- `spawn` preserves Windows `process.env` Proxy behavior (uses `process.env` directly when no custom env merges, keeping Windows case-insensitive access)
 
 ## [1.3.4](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v1.3.4) - 2025-10-26
 
 ### Added
 
-- Added Node.js SIGUSR1 signal handler prevention utilities in `constants/node` module
-  - `supportsNodeDisableSigusr1Flag()`: Detects if Node supports `--disable-sigusr1` flag (v22.14+, v23.7+, v24.8+)
-  - `getNodeDisableSigusr1Flags()`: Returns appropriate flags to prevent debugger attachment
-    - Returns `['--disable-sigusr1']` on supported versions (prevents Signal I/O Thread creation)
-    - Falls back to `['--no-inspect']` on Node 18+ (blocks debugger but still creates thread)
-  - Enables production CLI environments to prevent SIGUSR1 debugger signal handling for security
+- `constants/node` — `supportsNodeDisableSigusr1Flag()`, `getNodeDisableSigusr1Flags()`. Returns `['--disable-sigusr1']` on Node 22.14+/23.7+/24.8+, falls back to `['--no-inspect']` on Node 18+
 
 ## [1.3.3](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-lib/releases/tag/v1.3.3) - 2025-10-24
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- Fixed lazy getter bug in `objects` module where `defineGetter`, `defineLazyGetter`, and `defineLazyGetters` had incorrect `/*@__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__*/` annotations
-  - These functions mutate objects by defining properties, so marking them as side-effect-free caused esbuild to incorrectly tree-shake the calls during bundling
-  - Lazy getters were returning `undefined` instead of their computed values
-  - Removed double wrapping in `defineLazyGetters` where `createLazyGetter` was being called unnecessarily
+- `objects` `defineGetter`, `defineLazyGetter`, `defineLazyGetters` — removed incorrect `/*@__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__*/` annotations (these mutate objects). Lazy getters were returning `undefined` after esbuild tree-shaking
