 # Changelog
 
+## [0.5.3] - 2025-11-05
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Added interactive check when rFortune is launched without an existing configuration directory:
+    - If run in an interactive terminal, the user is asked to confirm initialization (`Initialize rFortune now? [Y/n]`).
+    - If run in a non-interactive context (script, CI, etc.), initialization proceeds automatically.
+- Prevents unintended directory creation and improves transparency during the first launch.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Initialization flow is now clearer and reports actions through `ConsoleLog` messages.

-## ✨ New in v0.5.2
+### ✨ New in v0.5.3
 
-### 🆕 Configuration system improvements
+**🧭 Smarter first-time initialization**
 
-- Configuration filename renamed from config.yaml → rfortune.conf for better clarity and portability.
-- Automatic migration from legacy config.yaml to the new format — the old file is safely backed up as config.yaml.bak.
-- Added the new subcommand config edit:
-    - rfortune config edit → opens rfortune.conf using the system’s default text editor.
-    - rfortune config edit --editor <name|path> → opens it with a specific editor (e.g. vi, nano, code).
-- Automatic detection of preferred editors via $VISUAL and $EDITOR environment variables.
-- Default fallback editors are nano (macOS/Linux) and notepad (Windows).
+- Added an interactive prompt when `rfortune` is launched for the first time and no configuration directory exists.
+    - In interactive terminals, users are asked: `Initialize rFortune now? [Y/n]`.
+    - In non-interactive contexts (scripts, CI, etc.), initialization happens automatically.
+- Prevents unintended directory creation and improves transparency during first setup.
+- Initialization progress and results are displayed using `ConsoleLog` messages for consistency.
 
-### 🎨 Improved CLI feedback
+**⚙️ Improved startup behavior**
 
-- Introduced the new ConsoleLog class for rich, colored terminal output:
-    - ℹ Info, ✅ Success, ⚠️ Warning, ❌ Error
-- Unified message style and improved feedback during configuration, cache, and fortune file operations.
+- The application now clearly reports which configuration directory is being used (`dirs::data_dir()` path).
+- Overall initialization flow refined for clarity and better UX.

+## ⚙️ First-time setup
+
+When `rfortune` is launched for the first time and no configuration directory exists,  
+the application will ask whether to initialize its environment (creating the default  
+configuration and fortune files).  
+In non-interactive contexts, initialization happens automatically.
