+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [3.1.1] - 2026-03-23
+
+### Fixed
+- Removed hardcoded user-specific file path from extrusion error message (Issue #14)
+- Error now includes actual failure details instead of pointing to a non-existent local file
+
+### Changed
+- Rewrote README.md to honestly reflect project status (alpha/experimental)
+- Removed fabricated performance metrics and unverified success rate claims
+- Added clear "What Has Worked" vs "Untested" status for all tool categories
+- Rewrote TESTING.md with honest assessment of test coverage gaps and prioritized testing checklist
+- Fixed stale repository URLs in CONTRIBUTING.md
+- **Replaced ESLint + Prettier with Biome** for faster, unified lint + format
+- Moved `winax` from dependencies to `optionalDependencies` (allows `npm install` on non-Windows)
+- Removed eslint, prettier, and typescript-eslint devDependencies
+- Cleaned up tsconfig.json exclude list (removed references to deleted files)
+- Fixed all test failures (env var isolation, test expectations matching actual code behavior)
+- Removed dead adapter test that imported modules deleted in v3.1.0
+- Rewrote version test to not require full server initialization
+- Applied Biome auto-fixes across 52 source files (import types, node: protocol, formatting)
+- Fixed `console.error` in solidworks-config.ts (was polluting test output)
+- Fixed Handlebars helpers to use rest params instead of `arguments`
+- Added `npm run check` script (typecheck + lint in one command)
+
+## [3.1.0] - 2026-03-11
+
+### Fixed
+- **Critical: SelectByID2 Type Mismatch** (Issue #8) - Replace `null` with `undefined` for COM optional parameters across all `SelectByID2` and `SaveAs` calls. COM interprets `null` as VT_NULL which causes DispInvoke type mismatch errors.
+- **Sketch Selection Strategy** - Prioritize feature tree traversal (`FeatureByPositionReverse` + `GetTypeName2`) over `SelectByID2` for sketch selection. This approach is more reliable and avoids COM selection issues entirely.
+- **Mass Properties Null Safety** - Add null coalescing guards in analysis tools to prevent `TypeError` when calling `.toFixed()` on sketch-only documents that return null for numeric properties.
+
+### Removed
+- Dead refactored modules (`index.refactored.ts`, `modeling-refactored.ts`, `api-refactored.ts`, `tsconfig.refactored.json`) that were never integrated
+- Incomplete clean architecture directories (`src/application/`, `src/commands/`, `src/infrastructure/`) that added complexity without being wired into the server
+- Duplicate `.eslintrc.json` (project uses `eslint.config.js` flat config)
+- Unused package.json scripts (`build:refactored`, `dev:refactored`, `start:refactored`, `migrate`)
+
+### Added
+- `CLAUDE.md` project guide for AI contributors
+
+### Changed
+- Moved 7 analysis/architecture docs from repo root to `docs/` directory
+- Updated package.json description and keywords to reflect actual architecture
+
+## [3.0.9] - 2025-09-10
+
+### Fixed
+- **Critical: Winax Module Loading** - Reverted to simple ES module import pattern that matches working version
+- **COM Object Access** - Fixed GetTitle/GetType/GetPathName property access on Document objects
+- **Part Creation** - Use NewPart() method instead of NewDocument() with template
+
+### Changed  
+- **Installation Method** - Documented that local installation is required due to winax native module compilation
+- **README Documentation** - Added clear warnings and explanations about winax installation requirements
+
+### Technical
+- Removed complex eval-based winax loading in favor of direct import
+- Cleaned up test files and debugging artifacts
+- Updated documentation to reflect installation limitations
+
+### Known Issues
+- Global npm installation does not work due to winax native module requirements
+- Each Windows system must compile winax locally during npm install
+
+## [3.0.8] - 2025-09-10
+
+### Fixed
+- **COM Object Method Access** - GetTitle/GetType are properties on Document objects, not Application
+- **Part Creation** - Added fallback to NewDocument when NewPart fails
+
+## [3.0.1 to 3.0.7] - 2025-09-10
+
+### Fixed
+- Multiple attempts to fix winax module loading and COM object creation
+- Winston logger file-only output to prevent MCP protocol corruption
+- Zod schema to JSON schema conversion for Claude Desktop tool visibility
+
+## [2.2.0] - 2025-08-19
