+# Changelog
+
+User-visible changes by released version. Add upcoming changes under Unreleased;
+move them to a dated version heading before publishing. Historical entries below
+start with 0.2.8.
+
+## 0.3.0 - 2026-09-19
+
+- Show the intervening release notes after `codemuster update`.
+- Check for a newer version on every normal command and report the result without
+  changing command output or stopping work when the registry is unavailable.
+- Include this changelog in the launcher and every platform package.
+- Preview the worker limit, provider, model and thinking level before `run`, `verify`
+  or `fix`. Interactive terminals wait ten seconds; Enter starts immediately and
+  Escape or Ctrl+C cancels. CI and redirected commands start without waiting.
+- Add `intelligent-config` to inspect repository context with an AI agent and apply
+  validated exclusions, scoped lenses and detected test setup. Preserve existing
+  custom settings and keep an exact backup before replacing the config.
+
+Upgrade from 0.2.9 or earlier with `npm install -g codemuster@0.3.0` to
+install the new launcher. Older launchers update only the native binary, so their
+`codemuster update` cannot add release-note or per-command update notices.
+
+## 0.2.9 - 2026-09-19
+
+- Exclude non-code documents, data, configuration and database files from AI review,
+  including Markdown, text, JSON, YAML, XML, CSV, Office documents and SQLite files.
+  Mapper metadata and ecosystem dependency audits retain their required inputs.
+- Mark oversized packs as skipped once and continue other work. Skips retain a
+  reason, consume no agent attempts or retries, and never count as reviewed.
+- Show skipped work in status and reports. Rescan or use `run --force` to retry it.
+- Upgrade the ledger to schema 7 while preserving audit history. Older CLIs cannot
+  open this schema. Run `codemuster scan` after upgrading to refresh exclusions.
+
+## 0.2.8 - 2026-09-15
+
+- Add settings-driven proactive plugin workflows for Claude and Codex, with shared
+  setup, skills and hooks.
+- Isolate fix workers, enforce repair scope, preserve dirty work through explicit
+  stash handling, and validate fixes before recording success.
+- Add opt-in static usage assessments and browser-backed user-experience reviews.
+- Prevent dead-code scans from failing on wall-clock regex timeouts.
+- Support exact CLI version pins and separate update caches by OS and architecture.

+selects a detected .NET solution or npm test command when none is configured. Existing custom
+settings and test commands are preserved. It reports each applied change and keeps the exact
