[Unreleased]

Fixed

  • Hex package hygiene ahead of the first real publish: dialyzer PLT caches no longer ship in the tarball; hexdocs carry the CherryBomb marks (sidebar logo plus the lockup bundled into the README via ExDoc assets, so docs are self-contained) and a grouped module sidebar; README gains a "Use from Elixir" section and reality-checked Status; cherry.new scaffolds depend on the hex release matching the installer instead of the develop branch, and the cherry_new hex page gets a README. (#34, #35)
  • Pagefind search drawer rendered in document flow inside the nav, pushing the whole page down with an off-centre results column, a dead thumbnail gutter, browser-yellow highlight marks, and a search input that overflowed the viewport on mobile. Both themes now anchor the drawer as a token-themed overlay panel under the input (showImages: false, internal scroll), and the header wraps at 44rem so search gets a full-width row on small screens. (#30)

Changed

  • gen.action workflows pin the build action to the release tag of the running cherry (holsee/cherry/action@v<version>) instead of @develop, so generated pipelines stop tracking a moving ref; the action README example pins to v0.1.0-rc.1 and the TODO is gone. (#33)
  • CherryBomb brand assets (logo, mascot, wordmark, and all repo derivatives) are excluded from the MIT/Apache-2.0 dual license: assets/LICENSE reserves them while permitting in-product display and nominative use; the hex package ships the notice alongside the theme's nav mark. (#30)
  • Site prose voice pass: no em dashes anywhere on cherrybomb.dev, all JSON code blocks fully pretty-printed. (#30)

Added

  • Copy buttons on code blocks: a new copy-code.js island in both official themes puts a hover-revealed (always visible on touch) copy button on every pre and any data-copy element, clipboard-API based, token-styled, print-hidden; islands are now compiled into both themes by npm run build and a sync test pins the copies byte-identical. (#31)
  • Search keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+K / ⌘K focuses the Pagefind input in both themes, and the placeholder advertises it per-platform. (#31)

  • nav: entries accept position: :start | :end (default :end), so configured items can lead the nav ahead of the built-ins; cherrybomb.dev puts Guides before Blog. (#31)

  • Landing page pitch pass: a "Not just a blog" section covering the portfolio timeline, story pages, and the JSON-Resume-backed /cv, plus a brush-checked top-ten feature list (AI-agent-friendly CLI + skill included) replacing the poster wall. (#31)
  • cherrybomb.dev, the real thing: full brand pass on the dogfood site — cherrybomb theme + Pagefind search enabled, brand-derived favicon/apple-touch/OG-card/nav-mark assets, a poster-wall landing page with real CLI envelopes, and a core guide set (quick-start, authoring loop, verifier, themes, deploy, scripting & agents, upgrade), all check --strict clean; Pages workflow gains the Node step Pagefind needs. (#29)
  • Site enablers the dogfood exposed: heading anchor links + GitHub-style > [!NOTE] alerts (mdex, styled in both themes with zero new tokens), favicon-by-convention (static/favicon.ico|favicon.svg|apple-touch-icon.png → head links via Cherry.Site.Icons), nav: config for custom nav items (broken-link-checked), a page_class body class per section, and twitter:card upgrading to summary_large_image when social_image is set. (#28)
  • The cherry agent skill (skills/cherry/, fizzy-cli layout): a canonical SKILL.md teaching agents the safe-start checks, the author → build → check → publish → deploy loop, structured-diagnostic handling, provenance-based theme management, and binary self-update — plus a command reference generated from the CLI verb registry and CI-gated against drift (mix run scripts/regen_skill.exs), with .claude/skills/ and .agents/skills/ pointer shims. New verbs cannot land without the skill teaching them. (#27)
  • cherry upgrade: first-class self-update for the standalone binary (ADR 0007) — resolves the latest stable GitHub release (or --version for any tag, prereleases included), verifies this platform's asset against SHA256SUMS, and swaps the running executable rustup-style; --check reports without touching anything and works under mix too. Zero new deps (:httpc + OS trust store). (#26)

[0.1.0-rc.1] — 2026-08-14

Added

  • Standalone binary + release pipeline (ADR 0007): Burrito packaging (Cherry.Binary boots the CLI seam only in CHERRY_RELEASE builds), tag-gated release workflow with a five-target native-runner matrix, per-binary smoke tests, SHA256SUMS + build-provenance attestation, prerelease-aware publishing, and real checksum-verifying install.sh / install.ps1 served from cherrybomb.dev; workflow_dispatch runs the whole matrix as a publish-nothing dry run. (#24)
  • Published build action (holsee/cherry/action): composite GitHub Action doing toolchain setup, caching, cherry.build, and cherry.check (strict by default) in one uses: step — GH Pages users never touch Elixir locally; gen.action workflows now wrap it, and CI exercises the action against a fresh cherry.new site on both OSes. (#23)
  • Optional Pagefind search: search: "pagefind" in cherry.exs — the new Post pipeline stage indexes the emitted site (npx pagefind), both official themes grow a token-styled search island only when enabled, and default builds stay byte-identical and dependency-free. (#22)
  • mix cherry.new PATH (the cherry_new installer, installer/): scaffolds an agent-ready site — content dirs, config (including the Lumis NIF selection consumers must carry), first post, AGENTS.md documenting the operate loop, and a .claude/skills/publish skill; CI dogfoods a generated site with build + check --strict against every commit. (#21)
  • cherry theme.diff: managed drift — every overlay's three-way status against the installed theme (current / auto_updatable / conflict / untracked), --apply re-ejects auto-updatable ones with fresh provenance, and cherry check warns on stale or untracked overlays. Frozen theme copies, answered. (#20)
  • JSON Feed: feed.json (jsonfeed.org 1.1) alongside Atom with a discovery <link> on every page; cherry check now verifies it too. (#19)
  • The machine surface: every content route now carries an index.md markdown mirror alongside its index.html (posts, pages, blog index, tag pages, portfolio timeline, stories, CV), plus a generated /llms.txt per the llmstxt.org convention with absolute links to the mirrors; unlisted pages keep their mirrors but stay out of llms.txt, and mirrors never leak into the sitemap or feed. (#18)
  • --json contract audit: error envelopes now carry structured details (a failing check --strict --json returns its diagnostics machine-readably, not just prose), and a registry-complete contract test proves every verb's success and error envelopes decode — new verbs cannot land without envelope coverage. (#17)
  • cherry check: the verifier — builds in memory (writes nothing) and reports structured diagnostics (broken internal links, missing descriptions, images without alt text, duplicate titles, Atom feed sanity); errors exit 1, --strict promotes warnings, --json feeds the agent's build → check → fix loop. (#16)
  • The cherrybomb theme: second official theme carrying the brand — neon night wall by dark, poster paper by day, brush-stroke title, glowing code blocks — same contract and token API as the default, proving the swap is real; cherry gen.theme NAME [--from THEME] scaffolds an editable site-local copy. (#15)
  • cherry gen.project and cherry gen.talk: portfolio scaffolds with valid frontmatter (build-clean as generated), duplicate refusal, --json for agents. (#14)

  • The CV view: /cv/ as an employer-shaped projection of the portfolio (cv: curation, weight ordering, curated bullets), evidence-backed skills derived from merged calendar spans and linked to story pages, /cv.json in JSON Resume format, print-first stylesheet (black-on-white, no chrome, no split entries), and visibility: public | unlisted | off with noindex/sitemap handling. (#13)

  • Portfolio views: /portfolio/ timeline (profile header, year-railed entries, open source as standing roles), /story/:tag/ pages cross-linking positions/projects/talks/OSS/education with blog posts on one tag, Person JSON-LD, nav that knows the portfolio exists, and blog tag pages linking to their story. (#12)
  • Portfolio data layer: typed collections (portfolio/positions, projects, talks, oss, education) with introspectable schemas, portfolio.yaml profile, cv: curation blocks, and domain structs (Position, Project, Talk, OpenSource, Education, Profile, CV, Link) materialised via Cherry.Portfolio.from_build/1; entries are data-only (no page routes). (#11)
  • cherrybomb.dev deploy: Pages workflow building example/ on push to main with CNAME; reserved /install.sh and /install.ps1 installer paths (ADR 0007). (#10)
  • cherry gen.action: generates the GitHub Pages deploy workflow (build → upload → deploy, .nojekyll, CNAME for custom domains); example/ dogfood site (the future cherrybomb.dev) now builds in every CI run. (#9)
  • Default-on SEO and machine surface: canonical/Open Graph/JSON-LD head block on every page, Atom feed.xml, sitemap.xml, robots.txt; base_path support so every emitted URL works under GitHub project pages, proven by a base-path matrix test. (#8)
  • Authoring loop: cherry gen.post, cherry publish, and cherry serve (Bandit + watcher + SSE live reload, drafts included). (#7)
  • Default theme design: dual light/dark token palettes, class-linked syntax highlighting colored by theme tokens, no-flash theme toggle island (TS), token-discipline tests. (#6)
  • Theme contract v1: theme.exs manifest, three-level lookup, theme.list/theme.which/theme.eject with provenance; default theme renders posts, blog index, tag pages, 404. (#5)
  • Typed collections: posts + pages with introspectable schemas (mix cherry.schema), YAML frontmatter, MDEx GFM rendering, drafts/future filtering. (#4)
  • Build pipeline (load→validate→transform→layout→emit), cherry.exs site config, mix cherry.build, golden-fixture harness, determinism gate. (#3)
  • Cherry.CLI.run/1 seam with verb registry, --json envelopes, stable exit codes; mix cherry.version tracer. (#2)
  • Library skeleton with mix precommit gate, TS toolchain, and CI on ubuntu + windows. (#1)
  • Project constitution (AGENTS.md), design doc (DESIGN.md), ADRs 0001–0006, backlog.
  • Dual MIT / Apache-2.0 license.
  • End-state README with the Cherrybomb identity.
  • Devcontainer reference environment (Elixir 1.20.2 / OTP 28 / Node 22, pinned).
  • Minimal 0.0.1 package stub to claim cherry on Hex (published).
  • Portfolio dual-view design: Careers-style timeline + /cv/ web CV, both projections of one dataset (DESIGN.md §4).

Fixed

  • Date ordering everywhere dates entered sort keys: %Date{} structs term-compare field-alphabetically (day before year), so feeds, the blog index, tag pages, the timeline, and skills could order Jan 15 above Feb 1; all sort keys now go through Date.to_erl/1. (#19)
  • Byte-determinism of emitted JSON: atom-keyed map iteration follows atom-creation order and varies between VM runs, so JSON.encode! output was not reproducible; feed.json and cv.json now encode via Cherry.StableJSON with sorted object keys (ADR 0005). (#19)
