[0.2.24] - 2026-03-04

Fixed

• Repo history readability: Remove foreground color from server-only (S) commit decorations — FileDecoration.color was coloring entire label text, making commits above BASE unreadable on dark themes
• Remove sven.decorator.serverColor setting (no longer needed; S badge still appears without text color override)

[Unreleased]

Test: E2E Integration Tests

• New test suites: 28 integration tests for real SVN operations
• Test helpers: svnTestRepo.ts for temp repo creation/teardown
• Parser coverage: Real SVN output for info, status, log, blame parsers
• Scenarios: File lifecycle, changelists, branches, conflicts
• CI compatible: All tests run on GitHub CI (Ubuntu, Windows, macOS)

[0.2.23] (2026-02-07)

Fix

• Deflake Windows unit CI in legacy E2E suites by switching from setup(...this.skip()) to per-test testIfReady(...) guards, preventing fixture access when suite preflight fails.

Test

• npx vitest run src/test/commands.test.ts src/test/repository.test.ts src/test/phase10.test.ts src/test/svn.test.ts src/test/svnFinder.test.ts
• $env:CI='true'; npm test

[0.2.22] (2026-02-07)

Fix

• Deflake legacy E2E suites on Windows CI by replacing suiteSetup-only skip flow with suiteReady gating in commands, repository, phase10, and svn suites.
• Deflake svnFinder E2E assertions by skipping binary-dependent tests when svn is unavailable.
• Deflake remoteChangeService callback-error test by awaiting explicit second-poll signal with bounded timeout instead of fixed sleep.

Test

• npx vitest run src/test/commands.test.ts src/test/repository.test.ts src/test/phase10.test.ts src/test/svn.test.ts src/test/svnFinder.test.ts
• $env:CI='true'; npm test

[0.2.21] (2026-02-07)

Fix

• Fix CI-only unhandled rejection in phase10 suite by adding teardown settle delay before temp repo removal (Failed to execute svn from in-flight background status poll).

Test

• npx vitest run src/test/phase10.test.ts
• CI=true npm test

[0.2.20] (2026-02-07)

Fix

• Fix Linux/macOS svnAuthCache cross-platform assertion flake by validating stable cache-dir suffix/absolute path instead of mocked-home prefix.

Test

• npx vitest run src/test/unit/services/svnAuthCache.test.ts
• CI=true npm test

[0.2.19] (2026-02-07)

Fix

• Fix cross-platform unit failures: use canonical SVN auth cache path (auth/svn.simple) and reject Windows-absolute path forms in validateFilePath on all platforms.
• Harden SCM input-box setup to tolerate proposal-gated properties in stable VS Code hosts.
• Stabilize VS Code harness activation with explicit binary/command preflight checks and actionable spawn failures.

Test

• Stabilize path/auth/svn-finder suites and narrow .vscode-test.mjs to stable E2E targets.
• Full local CI gate green: npm run lint, npm run security:validate-errors, npm run build, CI=true npm test.

[0.2.18] (2026-02-07)

Fix

• Resolve TypeScript fail set in command, blame, security, and harness suites.
• Restore sinon stub compatibility for child_process/fs.watch mocking under Vitest.
• Make npm test cross-platform by replacing POSIX-only CI shell check with Node runtime check.

Test

• Full gate green: npm run build:ts, npm run lint, npm test (1747/1747).

[0.2.17] (2026-02-07)

Test

• Expand blame fail-cluster tests (blameProvider) for lifecycle, event, mapping, and fallback branches.
• Expand security sanitizer tests (debug timeout flow + sanitized error log extraction).
• Full unit suite green: 1747/1747 tests.

Coverage

• src/blame/blameProvider.ts: ~85% → ~96% lines.
• src/security/errorSanitizer.ts: ~37% → ~97% lines.
• Global src/** coverage increased to ~47-48% range.

[0.2.16] (2026-02-07)

Fix

• Harden validation against decoded path traversal and encoded URL path metacharacters.
• Support root-stripped XML shapes in diff/list parsers.
• Correct changelist repository resolution when null repositories are returned.

Test

• Modernize legacy Vitest suites to ESM-safe mocking and current command/parser behavior.
• Stabilize cross-platform/path-sensitive tests (ResourceGroupManager, add/addRemove, prompt, auth cache, svnRepository).
• Full unit suite green: 1709/1709 tests.

[0.2.15] (2026-02-07)

Fix

• Mock VS Code command registry now supports thisArg binding, matching real registerCommand behavior.
• SwitchBranch now accepts relative branch paths from branch picker; absolute URLs still validated.
• Base command resource selection now tolerates undefined entries instead of throwing.

Test

• Modernize command e2e commit tests for staged/quick-commit flow.
• Add mock harness tests for config defaults, command binding, and workspace.textDocuments tracking.

[0.2.14] (2026-02-07)

Test

• Modernize legacy Mocha-style suites for Vitest (vi.spyOn over ESM export reassignment) in checkout/ignore/open command tests.
• Add Mocha-compat harness coverage (done callback, this.timeout, sync+async this.skip).
• Expand VS Code test mock for command registry and missing workspace/window/scm APIs used by legacy suites.

Chore

• Increase unit test and hook timeout defaults for legacy suite parity (60s).

[0.2.13] (2026-02-07)

Refactor

• Consolidate shared command helpers across stage/unstage/revert/changelist/pull/copy-path/commit/reveal/property/lock flows to reduce duplication.
• Extract reusable command error utilities for more consistent command execution and error handling.

Fix

• Lock action ordering: Prioritize explicit lock actions before cleanup fallback to avoid incorrect lock handling.
• Lint script scope: Restrict lint scripts to TypeScript paths to avoid hangs on bundled JavaScript output.

Test

• Add regression coverage for shared helper behavior.

Chore

• Add local agent and launch setup for contributor workflows.

[0.2.9] (2025-02-04)

Feature: Blame Line Mapping for Modified Files

• LCS-based line mapping: Blame annotations now align with working copy content even when file is modified
• Previously, blame decorations appeared on wrong lines if local changes added/removed lines
• Uses Longest Common Subsequence algorithm to map BASE line numbers to working copy
• Deleted lines: Blame info hidden (no longer exists in working copy)
• Modified lines: Context anchoring preserves blame through content changes

Changed: Blame Code Quality

• DRY: Extract mapBlameLineNumber() helper (eliminates 4× duplicate code blocks)
• DRY: Move date formatting to shared util/formatting.ts
• Performance: Add LCS index structures for O(1) lookups (vs O(n) array.find)

[0.2.8] (2025-02-03)

Fix: History Filter for Sparse Commits

• SVN --limit bug: Text search filters (author/message/path) now search entire history
• Previously, --limit restricted commits searched, not results returned
• If author had no commits in first 50, filter returned nothing
• Now: Search full history without limit, apply client-side truncation

Fix: Blame Cache Staleness After External Changes

• Document version tracking: Blame cache now validates against VS Code document version
• Previously, blame annotations showed stale line numbers after svn update or external changes
• Now: Cache invalidates automatically when document version changes

Fix: Antigravity IDE Compatibility

• Engine downgrade: vscode ^1.104.0 for Antigravity IDE support

[0.2.4] (2025-12-30)

Performance: Memory Leaks & File Watcher

• Fixed config listener leak: authConfigDisposable now cleaned up on deactivation
• Cache cleanup: Repository.dispose() clears needsLock/eol/mime/lock caches
• Narrowed file watcher: Changed from ** to **/.svn/{wc.db,entries} for repo discovery
• Deduplicated code: Removed duplicate getParentFolderStatus() in decorator (-13 lines)

[0.2.3] (2025-12-26)

Refactor: Property Operations Consolidation

• Auto-props: getAutoProps(), setAutoProps(), removeAutoProps() now use generic property methods
• Ignore patterns: New modifyIgnorePatterns() helper for read-modify-write operations
• Code organization: Added section comments for property method groups
• DRYer code: 11 property methods now share core getProperty/setProperty/deleteProperty

[0.2.2] (2025-12-26)

Refactor: exec/execBuffer Consolidation

• New private method: executeProcess() handles auth, spawning, timeout, cancellation
• Reduced duplication: exec() and execBuffer() now share core process logic

UX: Auto-Onboarding

• First repo open: Shows "Quick Tour" / "Dismiss" prompt when user opens first SVN repository
• Walkthrough: Opens "Getting Started with SVN" walkthrough if user clicks "Quick Tour"
• Once per install: Uses globalState to show only once, not per session

[0.1.9] (2025-12-23)

Feature: SVN Property Management (eol-style, mime-type, auto-props)

• Set EOL Style: Set svn:eol-style (native/LF/CRLF/CR) on files/folders with recursive option
• Remove EOL Style: Remove svn:eol-style from files/folders
• Manage EOL Styles: View all files with eol-style, bulk change or clear

[0.1.8] (2025-12-21)

UX: Needs-Lock Status Bar

• Status bar: Shows $(unlock) N when N files have svn:needs-lock property
• Click: Opens "Manage Needs-Lock" QuickPick to view/remove needs-lock files

• New badge: "PM" for files with both content and property changes (was just "M")

[0.1.7] (2025-12-21)

UX: Context Menu Harmonization

• Consistent naming: Removed "with SVN" / "from SVN" suffixes (context is clear)
• Reorganized groups: Explorer menu items now align with SCM menu structure
• Removed: "Revert" from Explorer context (use SCM view - can't detect modified files in Explorer)

UX: Untracked vs Deleted Clarity

• Badge: "U" for untracked (file kept), "D" for deleted (file removed)
• Strikethrough: Only for truly deleted files
• Tooltip: "Untracked: Removed from SVN (file kept locally)" vs "Deleted: File will be removed"

[0.1.6] (2025-12-21)

Feature: Untrack Command

• Renamed: "Remove" → "Untrack" for clearer intent (always keeps local files)
• Explorer: Right-click → "Untrack from SVN" in Explorer context menu

• Fix: Cache stat() results for 1 minute with request deduplication
• Invalidation: Cache cleared on repository changes (commit/update)
• Impact: Significantly reduces redundant SVN commands

[0.1.3] (2025-12-20)

• CSV: CSV files open in Table Compare view automatically
• Location: Script generated in extension's globalStorageUri

[0.1.2] (2025-12-20)

Fix: Repository Disposal on External Files

• Bug: Opening files outside workspace (e.g., Beyond Compare configs) caused SVN repo to disappear
• Root cause: BlameProvider ran SVN commands on external files → NotASvnRepository error → repo disposed
• Fix: Add isDescendant checks in BlameProvider before any SVN operations
• Bonus: Re-assert context on editor switch (keeps SCM view visible)

[0.1.1] (2025-12-20)
