-# Changelog
+## [0.1.6] - 2026-02-01
 
-All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
-This project follows Semantic Versioning (https://semver.org).
+### Added
+- **Smart Commit Generator 2.0**:
+  - Offline diff parsing using `git diff` (no external APIs).
+  - Conventional Commits compliance (`feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `style`, `test`).
+  - Intelligent scope detection for UI, Theme, Search, and Docs.
+  - Golden Test Suite with 10 fixtures for guaranteed message quality.
+- **Developer Experience**:
+  - Added `npm run verify` script for pre-release checks.
+  - Improved Windows path normalization for reliable cross-platform usage.
 
----
+### Changed
+- **Performance**: Switched from file-based status checks to staged diff analysis for commit messages.
+- **Logic**: Reordered commit type priority (Style > Src > Test > Docs) to prevent misclassification of mixed changes.
+- **Fix**: Resolved issue where new files were incorrectly flagged as `fix` instead of `feat`.
 
-## [0.1.4] – 2026-02-01
+## [0.1.4] - 2026-02-01
 
 ### Fixed
 - **Windows Compatibility**: Fixed critical issue where absolute paths on Windows caused ignore rules to fail.
 - **Watcher Noise**: Fixed infinite commit loops caused by `.vscode/time-analytics.json` and self-logging.
-- Fixed a critical CLI crash where `autopilot start` failed due to miswired Commander action handlers.
-- Improved command registration to ensure all CLI commands are correctly bound and validated at runtime.
-- Prevented undefined command handlers from causing runtime exceptions.
+- **CLI Crash**: Resolved `autopilot start` failure due to miswired Commander action handlers.
 
 ### Added
 - **Release Gates**: Added `npm run verify` and `prepublishOnly` hooks to prevent broken releases.
 - **Integration Tests**: Added full end-to-end test suite using `node:test`.
 - **Smart Init**: `autopilot init` now automatically adds `autopilot.log` to `.gitignore`.
-- Pre-publish verification pipeline to block publishing broken builds.
-- CLI smoke tests to ensure core commands (`init`, `start`, `status`, `doctor`) do not crash.
-- Test-only dry-run mode for watcher to allow safe automated testing.
-- Additional configuration and commit logic unit tests.
+- **Diagnostics**: Added `autopilot doctor` for environment health checks.
 
-### Changed
-- Standardized command exports across all CLI commands.
-- Improved error messages for misconfigured or invalid commands.
-- Strengthened release hygiene and stability guarantees.
-
-### Developer Experience
-- Added `prepublishOnly` guard to prevent accidental publishing of failing builds.
-- Improved Windows compatibility during testing and CLI execution.

+## 🎯 Why Autopilot?
+
+Autopilot is designed for developers who want to stay in the flow. It solves manual Git workflow fatigue by handling the repetitive cycle of staging, committing, and pushing changes, allowing you to focus entirely on writing code.
+
+<table>
+<tr>
+<td width="50%">
+
+### ❌ Before Autopilot
+
+```bash
+# Every. Single. Time.
+git add .
+git commit -m "update stuff"
+git push
+
+# Repeat 50+ times a day...
+# Lose focus on coding
+# Forget to commit
+# Inconsistent messages
+```
+
+</td>
+<td width="50%">
+
+### ✅ With Autopilot
+
+```bash
+# One time setup
+autopilot init
+autopilot start
+
+# That's it! 
+# Focus on coding
+# Auto-commits with smart messages
+# Never lose work again
+```
+
+</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- **🧠 Smart Commits**: Generates professional conventional commit messages automatically.
+- **⚡ Watcher Engine**: Real-time file monitoring with smart debouncing using `chokidar`.
+- **🛡️ Safety First**: Blocks commits on protected branches and checks remote status.
+- **🔄 Automated Flow**: Fetches, stages, commits, and pushes (optional) automatically.
+- **⚙️ Zero Config**: Works out of the box, but fully configurable via `.autopilotrc.json`.
+- **🩺 Self-Healing**: Includes a `doctor` command to diagnose and fix issues.
+
+---
+
+## ⬇️ Installation
+
+Install Autopilot globally using npm:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @traisetech/autopilot
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### 1. Initialize
+Navigate to your Git repository and initialize Autopilot:
+
+```bash
+cd my-project
+autopilot init
+```
+
+### 2. Start Watching
+Start the background daemon to begin monitoring your files:
+
+```bash
+autopilot start
+```
+
+### 3. Check Status
+Verify that Autopilot is running:
+
+```bash
+autopilot status
+```
+
+### 4. Stop
+When you're done for the day:
+
+```bash
+autopilot stop
+```
+
+---
+
+## 💻 Commands
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `autopilot init` | Initializes configuration and ignore files in the current directory. |
+| `autopilot start` | Starts the background watcher daemon. |
+| `autopilot stop` | Stops the running watcher daemon. |
+| `autopilot status` | Shows the current status of the watcher process. |
+| `autopilot doctor` | Runs diagnostics to verify environment and configuration. |
+| `autopilot --help` | Displays help information. |
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ Configuration
+
+Autopilot uses a `.autopilotrc.json` file for configuration. It is created automatically when you run `autopilot init`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "minInterval": 30,
+  "autoPush": true,
+  "blockedBranches": ["main", "production"],
+  "requireChecks": false,
+  "ignore": [
+    "*.log",
+    "temp/",
+    "dist/",
+    "node_modules"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `minInterval` | `number` | `30` | Minimum seconds between commits. |
+| `autoPush` | `boolean` | `true` | Whether to push changes automatically after commit. |
+| `blockedBranches` | `array` | `[]` | List of branches to disable auto-commit on. |
+| `requireChecks` | `boolean` | `false` | Run custom checks before committing. |
+| `ignore` | `array` | `[]` | Additional glob patterns to ignore. |
+
+---
+
+## 🛡️ Safety Features
+
+Autopilot includes several safety mechanisms to prevent accidents:
+
+1.  **Branch Protection**: Will not run on branches listed in `blockedBranches`.
+2.  **Remote Sync**: Checks if local branch is behind remote before acting.
+3.  **Debouncing**: Waits for file changes to settle before committing.
+4.  **PID Management**: Ensures only one instance runs per repository.
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter issues, run the doctor command:
+
+```bash
+autopilot doctor
+```
+
+This will check for:
+- Git repository status
+- Configuration validity
+- Node.js version
+- Permissions
+
+---
