Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented here.

[0.2.2] - 2026-09-21

Added

• Paired Baseline-vs-CQO benchmark framework with controlled and full-policy modes.
• Honest benchmark result schema and case-study template.
• Local benchmark report generator with text, Markdown, and JSON output.
• Acceptance-gated comparisons: efficiency deltas are only calculated when both runs pass the same acceptance criteria.
• Benchmark tests and CI smoke coverage.
• English and Simplified Chinese benchmark methodology.

Changed

• CQO CLI/package version aligned to 0.2.2.
• Roadmap now separates the benchmark framework from future published real-world measurements.

[0.2.1] - 2026-09-21

Added

• cqo doctor for zero-network local installation diagnostics.
• Doctor checks Python compatibility, Skill presence, journal writability, Git availability, CLI PATH visibility, and active-session state.

Changed

• cqo audit output now separates observed local facts from CQO policy guarantees for clearer, more honest reporting.
• README now reflects successful HOL Codex Plugin Catalog listing.

[0.2.0] - 2026-09-20

Added

• Zero-friction runtime policy: no extra model call, no network dependency, no blocking budget gate, and no automatic subagents from CQO itself.
• Optional local cqo CLI with start, status, audit, and history.
• Local heuristic Task Classifier with English and Chinese risk/complexity signals.
• Soft Session Budgets for discovery, implementation paths, reasoning, verification, and subagent use.
• Local-only task journal under ~/.cqo (or CQO_HOME) with no telemetry or private account scraping.
• Task-level Usage Audit that reports local change surface and CQO policy guardrails without inventing token-savings percentages.
• Python unit tests and CLI smoke-test CI.

Changed

• Execution budgets are explicitly advisory and may expand automatically when correctness requires more context or verification.
• The optional CLI is an inspection layer, not a runtime dependency.
• Direct install.sh installs a convenient cqo command under ~/.local/bin.

[0.1.0] - 2026-09-18

Added

• Dual Skill / Plugin distribution with a portable plugin.json and Codex compatibility manifest.
• HOL Plugin Scanner CI and marketplace-ready icon/package structure.
• Initial codex-quota-optimizer Skill.
• Task-size routing from XS to XL.
• Model and reasoning escalation policy.
• Context-budget and minimal-change rules.
• Layered verification policy.
• Economy, Balanced, and Emergency modes.
• Compact repository snapshot helper.
• Change-scope / verification helper.
• English and Simplified Chinese documentation.
• Skill UI metadata and visual assets.
