[0.1.0-alpha.5] - 2026-03-21

Fixed

• CI: upgraded GitHub Actions runtime pins to current supported majors for checkout, setup-node, upload-artifact, and download-artifact to avoid the Node 20 deprecation path

Full Changelog: v0.1.0-alpha.4...v0.1.0-alpha.5

[0.1.0-alpha.4] - 2026-03-21

Added

• Hosted remotes: kin clone and kin pull now work directly against KinLab native snapshot remotes, including kinlab://org/repo and https://kinlab.ai/org/repo
• npm: kin-mcp auto-initializes a local .kin/ repo when MCP startup runs in a workspace that has not been initialized yet

Fixed

• Semantic commit scanning now tracks real dotfiles and hidden repo content like .github/, avoiding immediate dirty-state mismatches after native clone
• CLI: released snapshot handles cleanly in note persistence tests to avoid Linux lock contention
• CLI: transport repo bootstrap now satisfies strict clippy -D warnings in CI

Full Changelog: v0.1.0-alpha.3...v0.1.0-alpha.4

[0.1.0-alpha.3] - 2026-03-21

Added

• README: demo GIFs for MCP setup, Git interop, semantic exploration, and the full walkthrough
• Scripts: scripts/record-demos.sh for regenerating the README demo assets

Fixed

• npm: kin-mcp stays side-effect-free and no longer tries to auto-initialize .kin/ on MCP startup
• README: brownfield adoption guidance now explicitly documents kin init, kin git import, and kin commit

Full Changelog: v0.1.0-alpha.2...v0.1.0-alpha.3

[0.1.0-alpha.2] - 2026-03-21

Added

• CLI: kin clone -- clone a repository (native Kin or Git compat fallback)
• CLI: kin pull -- pull changes from a remote (native Kin or Git compat fallback)
• CLI: kin checkout -- restore a file from any point in the semantic history
• CLI: kin push now executes Git push for git-export remotes (previously only prepared the export)
• npm: kin-mcp wrapper package for assistant-native MCP setup via npx

Fixed

• CHANGELOG crate count: 17 → 19
• README clone URLs: pointed to correct firelock-ai organization
• Assistant setup guidance now includes the npm-based MCP shortcut

Full Changelog: v0.1.0-alpha.1...v0.1.0-alpha.2
