• release tag: v0.0.226
• target commit: 598746a576d7d3e8ec4a4ee55f6e017093e4af26
• previous release: v0.0.225

Included commits

• 6b1d97f feat: automate stable and latest GitHub releases with ordered notes

  Add a complete release-automation layer for both stable semver tags and the moving latest/nightly prerelease.

  Stable release automation:

  • add scripts/release/release-versioning.sh for semver tag discovery, previous-release lookup, and patch/minor/major version increments
  • add scripts/release/write-release-notes.sh to generate deterministic release notes from git history with commits listed in chronological order
  • add scripts/release/create-next-release.sh to:
    • read the latest stable tag
    • increment the version
    • update package.json and package-lock.json
    • create the release commit and annotated tag
    • write the release notes artifact
    • optionally push master and the new tag
  • update scripts/release/create-github-release.sh so GitHub releases are recreated or updated from generated notes instead of relying on whatever body happened to exist before, including the case where the release was manually deleted
  • pass the resolved target SHA into the GitHub release step so the release notes and attached assets are anchored to the correct ref

  Moving latest/nightly release automation:

  • add .github/workflows/latest.yml to publish a moving prerelease on every push to master, on a nightly schedule, and by manual dispatch
  • add scripts/release/create-or-update-moving-github-release.sh to:
    • regenerate ordered release notes for the moving latest channel
    • force-update the latest tag to the target commit
    • delete and recreate the prerelease with the current VSIX artifacts
  • keep latest/nightly GitHub prereleases separate from the official stable tag-driven release workflow

  Local tooling and verification:

  • add just next-release as the local entrypoint for creating the next stable release
  • add just test-actions-latest-build and fold the latest-release verification into just test-actions
  • extend release-script and workflow tests to cover:
    • ordered release note generation
    • next-release version bump, commit, tag, and notes creation
    • moving latest prerelease creation and recreation
    • release workflow wiring for regenerated GitHub release bodies

• 57e62f4 fix: bound release notes to fork history

  Use the upstream merge-base as the lower bound for generated release notes when no prior stable Better Todo Tree release exists so nightly/latest notes do not replay the full upstream Todo Tree commit history.

  Release note boundaries:

  • add upstream ref resolution and fork-point detection to scripts/release/release-versioning.sh
  • use the fork point as the history base in scripts/release/write-release-notes.sh whenever no previous stable fork tag exists
  • include the fork point in generated notes for no-stable-tag cases so the release body shows the actual history boundary being used

  Regression coverage:

  • add a fork-history fixture to test/release.workflow-scripts.test.js
  • assert that upstream commits are excluded when no stable fork release exists
  • keep fork-local commits ordered chronologically in generated notes

• 74ef1e7 fix: render linked multiline commit notes in release bodies

  Use repository-aware commit URLs and NUL-delimited git log records so generated release notes keep full commit bodies intact and link every commit boundary to the corresponding GitHub page.

  Release note rendering:

  • derive the repository web URL from the origin remote with an explicit override for release automation and local fixture repos
  • switch commit collection in scripts/release/write-release-notes.sh to NUL-delimited records so multiline bodies do not split into synthetic entries
  • render target commits, fork points, and included commit SHAs as markdown links to their GitHub commit pages
  • emit commit body lines beneath each included commit instead of truncating notes to the subject line

  Regression coverage:

  • seed the release-note fixtures with multiline commit bodies
  • cover repository URL overrides in fixture environments
  • assert linked SHAs, preserved body lines, and the absence of synthetic empty commit entries in generated release notes

• 1297e91 fix: accept just release args and report dirty worktrees

  Treat the \ separator from just as a no-op in create-next-release.sh so just next-release -- --bump patch --push reaches the release logic instead of failing argument parsing.

  Release creation safety:

  • require a clean worktree before version bumps and tag creation
  • print the pending changes when the tree is dirty
  • keep the successful path clean by moving bare remote fixtures outside the test repo root

  Regression coverage:

  • cover the exact just separator invocation in test/release.workflow-scripts.test.js
  • cover the explicit dirty-worktree failure mode

• b002637 release: v0.0.226

v0.0.225 - 2026-04-10

• release tag: v0.0.225
• target commit: bc3a538c9430d8079b2882e3969acde5ebe81225
• previous release: none
• fork point: a6f60e0ce830c4649ac34fc05e5a1799ec91d151

Included commits since fork point

• 4e35370 fix: eliminate overlapping scans and incremental refresh regressions

  Rework the Linux performance hot path to stop overlapping workspace scans, duplicate post-processing, and repeated whole-tree recount/filter/sort work.

  • split tree refresh scheduling from rescan scheduling
  • add generation-gated single-flight scan state and coalesced pending rescans
  • debounce open-file refreshes per document/version instead of using one global timer
  • stop reparsing workspace-covered open files after workspace scans
  • remove startup open-file refresh amplification
  • switch automatic git refresh to single-flight execFile polling per workspace
  • replace flat search result storage with URI-indexed results and dirty-entry draining
  • replace whole-corpus tree rebuilds with incremental per-document replacement
  • cache status bar and activity bar tag counts in the tree provider
  • keep branch-local filter/sort work for incremental edits instead of rewalking the full tree
  • switch ripgrep execution from shell exec to streamed spawn-based parsing
  • make stop-scan cancel the real active ripgrep process
  • bound ripgrep debug output instead of retaining full stdout copies
  • suppress stale highlight passes when the editor document version changes
  • update legacy searchResults tests for URI-backed entries
  • add regression tests for indexed search result draining and ripgrep streaming/cancellation
  • add a performance remediation audit and scope-completion map

• efcf972 fix: unify detection, harden scan behavior, and lock coverage with exhaustive matrices

  Introduce a canonical detection pipeline and route editor/workspace ingestion, highlighting, and tree rendering through the same normalized match model.

  Core remediation:

  • add src/detection.js as the authoritative scanner/normalizer for:
    • built-in comment-aware scanning
    • custom-regex normalization
    • resource-aware URI/file-specific regex and subtag handling
    • canonical offsets for tags, subtags, comments, and full matches
  • make src/config.js URI-aware for regex/subtag resolution so per-resource overrides are honored consistently
  • tighten the manifest default regex in package.json so default matching is token-bounded and no longer treats arbitrary identifiers as todos
  • fix the package.json showTreeView menu clause so it is scoped correctly to Todo Tree views only

  Extension scan and interaction fixes:

  • integrate the canonical detector into src/extension.js for open-file, current-file, and workspace ingestion
  • split workspace scanning into:
    • candidate-file scanning for default built-in detection
    • normalized ripgrep match ingestion for custom regex mode
  • keep workspace/open/current scan behavior aligned through one result model
  • preserve passive active-editor tracking without force-selecting tree nodes while keeping explicit reveal commands selecting nodes
  • keep the staged scan-path changes aligned with the performance remediation audit already included in this patch set

  Highlight and icon fixes:

  • rework src/highlights.js to decorate from canonical offsets instead of line-end heuristics
  • clip text/text-and-comment/tag-and-comment/line highlight ranges correctly
  • expose highlight() for direct subsystem tests
  • split src/icons.js into tree vs gutter icon APIs
  • force gutter icons through file-backed assets so codicon/product-icon based settings render reliably in editor gutters

  Tree and rendering fixes:

  • make src/tree.js use deterministic workspace/path/todo ids
  • render multiline todos as one logical node instead of synthetic child todo chains
  • preserve full multiline text in tooltips/exports
  • sort tag-bearing siblings by configured tag order instead of incidental path order
  • tighten todo identity matching to fsPath + line + column + actualTag
  • remove build-counter/node-counter id churn from the tree model

  Comment-pattern and utility fixes:

  • make src/utils.js resolve comment-pattern languages from basenames when extensions are insufficient, including Makefile/Cakefile-style inputs
  • keep explicit alias normalization for .jsonc -> .js and .vue -> .html
  • centralize the shipped default regex source
  • expose resource-aware config/regex helpers used by the detector matrix
  • fix overlapping single-line comment token handling exposed by the matrix suite, including Jade // vs //- precedence

  Verification and regression coverage:

  • add behavioral tests for canonical detection, markdown headings/task items, Python triple-quoted blocks, multiline comment continuations, highlight clipping, gutter icons, tree multiline rendering, stable ids, and tag order
  • add exhaustive language and regex matrix suites covering the vendored comment-pattern corpus, manifest default tags, custom-regex axes, and highlight modes
  • add extension scan parity coverage for open/current/workspace ingestion and workspace-plus-external-open-document merge behavior
  • add manifest verification for the scoped showTreeView when-clause
  • add ripgrep regression coverage for paths containing spaces and parentheses
  • expand test stubs/helpers to support URI-scoped config overrides and deterministic module loading
  • add audit artifacts documenting behavioral remediation, performance remediation, and the exhaustive test matrix

• 62d0a8e Add TODOS_LISTS/ to .gitignore
• de77c0f Update vscodeignore to exclude TODOS_LISTS/
• 5b9e671 feat: ship Better Todo Tree with compatibility-first rebrand and automated releases

  Rebrand the forked extension as FanaticPythoner.better-todo-tree v0.0.225 and carry existing Todo Tree users forward instead of forcing a hard break.

  Compatibility-first fork surface:

  • rename the published extension identity, display strings, localized metadata, docs, links, changelog, and packaged assets to Better Todo Tree / FanaticPythoner
  • keep todo-tree-container and todo-tree-view stable so existing activity-bar placement and persisted view layout survive the fork
  • add src/extensionIdentity.js as the single source of truth for:
    • current and legacy namespaces
    • command ids and legacy aliases
    • context keys
    • export schemes
    • settings lookup and update targets
    • stable hidden internal ids
  • ship both better-todo-tree.* and deprecated todo-tree.* settings in the manifest and localized metadata
  • resolve configuration in current -> legacy -> current-default order so old settings keep working immediately after the rebrand
  • add same-scope legacy settings import plus the Better Todo Tree: Import Legacy Settings command
  • keep legacy todo-tree.* commands registered as hidden aliases and accept both better-todo-tree-export: and todotree-export:
  • route config, colours, icons, highlights, tree behavior, export handling, and command wiring through the compatibility layer

  Release and distribution automation:

  • replace the abandoned Travis path with pinned GitHub Actions workflows for CI, security scanning, reusable VSIX builds, and tag-driven releases
  • build the full 10-target VSIX matrix, publish to VS Code Marketplace, publish to Open VSX when reachable, attest build provenance, and create GitHub Releases from annotated tags
  • isolate Open VSX publication so a registry outage no longer blocks VS Code Marketplace publication or GitHub Release creation
  • add checked-in release scripts for:
    • release metadata validation
    • artifact discovery
    • VS Code Marketplace publishing
    • Open VSX publishing
    • GitHub Release creation
    • one-time GitHub release-environment bootstrap
  • add justfile entrypoints for setup, release-environment bootstrap, workflow linting, CI simulation, release-build verification, and VSIX builds
  • add Dependabot, CODEOWNERS, release-note categories, and .nvmrc

  Repository, licensing, and packaging hardening:

  • standardize on LICENSE and remove the old License.txt path
  • distribute the fork as GPL-3.0-only while preserving the upstream Todo Tree Expat/MIT notice in UPSTREAM-NOTICE.md
  • align package metadata and docs with the GPL-3.0-only fork license
  • document migration behavior, compatibility boundaries, release setup, and licensing in MIGRATION.md
  • exclude workflow-only files, release tooling, and migration docs from packaged VSIX artifacts
  • add and pin maintained release/build dependencies including @vscode/vsce, ovsx, webpack 5, webpack-cli 7, qunit 2.25, micromatch 4.0.8, @primer/octicons 17.12, and the lodash override

  Verification and regression coverage:

  • extend manifest tests to verify:
    • stable hidden view/container ids
    • rebranded commands and menu contributions
    • dual current/legacy settings surfaces
    • deprecated legacy settings metadata
  • add compatibility tests for current-vs-legacy settings resolution and manifest parity
  • add workflow and release-script tests covering:
    • pinned action SHAs
    • release permissions
    • split Marketplace/Open VSX publication
    • continue-on-error Open VSX behavior
    • release artifact filtering
    • release-environment bootstrap
  • update scan-parity coverage to exercise the dual-namespace configuration path used by the forked runtime

  Refs: Gruntfuggly#423 Refs: Gruntfuggly#841 Refs: Gruntfuggly#842 Refs: Gruntfuggly#890

• e9b9088 fix: escape tag literals in one pass for regex construction

  Replace the two-step tag escaping logic in src/utils.js with a single regex-literal escaping helper so backslashes and regex metacharacters are sanitized consistently when building the tag regex source.

  This removes the incomplete escaping pattern flagged by CodeQL without changing the intended matching behavior, and updates the exact-output tests to assert the corrected escaped form.

  Verification:

  • npm test -- --filter "utils.getRegexSource"
  • just test
  • just test-actions
