[0.7.0] - 2026-08-13

--quiet flag for mix assay to suppress informational output (header, ignore logs, summary, and the warnings exit message). Formatted warning output and exit codes are unchanged.

Dialyzer's opaque Could not compute MD5 for .beam failure is now translated on macOS into Assay.FileDescriptorLimitError, which names the real cause (the default 256 open file descriptor limit), reports the current soft limit, and gives the ulimit -n command that fixes it. The daemon and MCP server relay the same explanation to editors and agents.

Fixed syntax error (missing end) in the marcli formatter test that caused CI to fail with TokenMissingError.
Updated install test version assertion from ~> 0.5 to ~> 0.6 to match the version the installer now writes into new projects.

--format markdown output format renders Dialyzer warnings as a Markdown document, suitable for pasting into issues, PRs, or documentation.
--format marcli output format renders warnings with rich terminal styling via the optional marcli dependency (add {:marcli, "~> 0.3"} to your project deps to enable).

Formatter no longer crashes when Dialyzer reports a warning at a line number beyond the end of the source file (can occur with macro-generated code, protocol implementations, or stale PLT data). Affected both --format elixir and --format github modes.

Made erlex a required (non-optional) dependency so that Erlang-to-Elixir type conversion works in consuming projects. Previously erlex was optional, meaning projects using assay would see raw Erlang notation (e.g. 'Elixir.String':t()) in Success typing and Diff sections unless they explicitly added erlex to their own deps.
Code snippet line numbers now render inside the │ border with a single gutter (e.g. │ 44 code instead of 44 │ code).

GitHub annotations now display the rich formatted body (code snippets, diffs, suggestions) instead of the raw Dialyzer message. The formatted body is encoded in the ::warning message parameter so GitHub renders it in the annotation popup.

--format github now emits a rich elixir-style text body (code snippets, context lines) after the ::warning annotation line, making CI output more readable without requiring a separate --format elixir pass.

Umbrella project path resolution: Dialyzer reports paths relative to each umbrella app (e.g. lib/api/admin/chat_context.ex), which failed to resolve when expanded against the project root. Assay now searches Mix.Project.apps_paths() to find the correct file under umbrella app directories.

--no-compile flag for mix assay to skip compilation before running Dialyzer. Useful in CI pipelines where the project is already compiled. Follows the convention used by mix test, mix credo, and Dialyxir.
Clear error messages when --no-compile is used with long-running modes (mix assay.watch, mix assay.daemon, mix assay.mcp) that require recompilation on each analysis cycle.
