 # Changelog
 
+## 0.11.0 (2026-09-17)
+
+- **Feature (new)**: `/sdlc:new` clarification questions can now be answered by picking an
+  option instead of typing ([#6](https://github.com/warnyin/warnyin-sdlc/issues/6)). A question
+  with a few concrete answers now comes with 2–4 options, the recommended one first and marked,
+  each with its trade-off. An open-ended question keeps a single recommended answer and never
+  gets invented options, and an answer outside the options is applied as given. In Claude Code
+  option questions go through its question picker (`AskUserQuestion`): at most 4 questions and
+  2–4 options a prompt, with Other for a free answer, so a bigger round arrives as consecutive
+  prompts and no later round starts until every question is answered. Tools without a picker
+  get the options lettered inline, so you can reply `1b, 2a`. The round, defer and
+  confirmation rules are unchanged, and `--auto` still folds everything into its single
+  confirmation. The rules card for Cursor and Windsurf carries a summary. Existing installs get
+  the new doctrine with `update`.
+
+## 0.10.0 (2026-09-14)
+
+- **Feature (update notice)**: a project is now told when a newer `@warnyin/sdlc` exists. Once a
+  day the SessionStart hook hands a background process one request to the npm registry for the
+  `latest` version; the session never waits on it. When the installed version (recorded in the
+  new `sdlc/.hooks/version.json`) is older, the next session's context opens with one line
+  naming both versions and `npx @warnyin/sdlc@latest update`, and telling the agent to mention
+  it and not run it. It repeats at every session start (including resume and `/clear`) until
+  the project is updated or the check is off. Nothing updates by itself. Only a plain `X.Y.Z` from the registry is ever cached
+  or shown; redirects, bodies over 64 KiB and anything slow or broken leave silence. **Existing
+  installs are on by default** after `update`, because `update` never rewrites your
+  `sdlc/config.yaml`: add `updateCheck: false` there to switch it off, or set `CI` or
+  `NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER`. Behind a proxy the check stays silent (Node's fetch ignores
+  `HTTPS_PROXY`). Claude Code only; other tools install no hooks. `update` now always rewrites
+  `sdlc/.hooks/version.json`, even where your other hook files are kept.
+- **Release**: versions are now published by GitHub Actions from a pushed `vX.Y.Z` tag through
+  npm trusted publishing, with a provenance attestation that links each tarball to its commit
+  and workflow run. No npm token is involved.

+## Releasing
+
+Pushing a plain `vX.Y.Z` tag publishes that version. `.github/workflows/release.yml` runs the CI
+jobs as a gate, checks the tag names `package.json`'s version, then runs `npm publish` with
+provenance through npm trusted publishing. No npm token lives in the repo or its secrets.
+
+One-time setup, by a package owner, before the first release tag is pushed (until then the
+publish step fails and nothing is released):
+1. On npmjs.com, open `@warnyin/sdlc` → Settings → Trusted Publisher → GitHub Actions and enter
+   organization/user `warnyin`, repository `warnyin-sdlc`, workflow filename `release.yml`,
+   no environment. If asked which actions to allow, allow `npm publish`, not stage-only.
+2. Optional, after the first release by tag succeeds: under Publishing access, choose
+   "Require two-factor authentication and disallow tokens".
+3. On GitHub, add a tag ruleset for `v*` so only maintainers can create or move release tags —
+   whoever can push the tag can publish.
+
+Each release:
+1. Bump `version` in `package.json`, add the `CHANGELOG.md` entry, commit `chore(release): X.Y.Z`.
+2. `git tag vX.Y.Z && git push origin main vX.Y.Z`
+3. Watch the `release` run in GitHub Actions, then confirm with `npm view @warnyin/sdlc version`.
+
+A tag that disagrees with `package.json`, a pre-release tag, a tag not on `main`, or a red gate
+publishes nothing. Every release becomes `latest`, so cut releases from `main` only. A published
+version can never be reused: to back one out, `npm deprecate @warnyin/sdlc@X.Y.Z "<reason>"` and
+release a fixed X.Y.Z+1.
