 ### Changed
 
 - Change the project to a Nova command model, replacing the previous mixed MT/Nova workflow.
     - All public commands are now Nova commands, and the `nova` CLI / `Invoke-NovaCli` command surface is the primary
-      entry point for all
-      operations.
+      entry point for all operations.
 - Change `nova` help to a dedicated CLI-native help system with both short and long command help forms.
 - Isolate external workflow execution behind smaller internal adapters so git, raw package upload, repository publish,
   self-update, settings-file I/O, and CLI environment access have clearer change points and smaller test seams.

     stays focused on command syntax and options.
     - CLI help no longer delegates to PowerShell `Get-Help` and now consistently shows CLI option spellings such as
       `--repository` and `-r`.
-- Refactor `tests/NovaCommandModel.TestSupport.ps1` into smaller, focused support scripts so the shared Nova command
-  model
-  test helpers are easier to maintain without changing test behavior.

+- **BREAKING CHANGE**: Rename the public Nova scaffold cmdlets.
     - `New-NovaModule` → `Initialize-NovaModule`
     - No compatibility aliases are exported for the retired cmdlet names or CLI subcommands.
 - Change `CopyResourcesToModuleRoot` to the canonical project setting name while keeping the default value `false`.
 - Change `Publish-NovaModule -Local` and `% nova publish --local` so a successful local publish also reloads the
-  published
-  module from the local install path into the active PowerShell session.
-- Refactor the simple routed `nova` parsers to use shared declarative parser helpers while keeping the existing CLI

+  published module from the local install path into the active PowerShell session.
 
 ### Documentation
 
 - Split documentation into contributor-focused repository docs and task-oriented GitHub Pages user guides.
 - Expand the public site into a fuller developer end-user manual with rewritten getting started, core workflows, working
   with modules, troubleshooting, concepts, release notes, and license pages plus new reference-style pages for
   commands, `project.json`, packaging/delivery, and versioning/update behavior.
-    - Improve page spacing, card padding, code-block separation, and responsive layout density so the documentation is
-      easier to scan and less visually cramped.
-  - The getting started and core workflows guides now let readers switch between PowerShell and command-line
-    examples, including the local-publish-plus-`pwsh` handoff for `Get-ExampleGreeting` and fresh-process `pwsh`
-
+    - The guides now let readers switch between PowerShell and command-line examples, including the local-publish-plus-
+      `pwsh` handoff for `Get-ExampleGreeting` and fresh-process `pwsh`
 - Clean the generated PowerShell cmdlet help so `Get-Help` pages no longer mix in `nova` launcher syntax or GNU-style
   CLI options.
-    import/reload validation from the command-line path.
-  - The command reference, working-with-modules, packaging-and-delivery, versioning-and-updates, and troubleshooting
-    guides now use the same centered command-surface header and PowerShell/command-line example switching model.
-  - The command-surface toggle sits centered in the top navigation area on the switched guides, with the `Menu`
-    control aligned separately to the right and the header buttons tightened to match the menu height more closely.
-  - The home page now presents its recommended first-path command examples in PowerShell form to match the default
-    quickstart orientation.
-  - The shared docs layout now keeps the same readable content width in PowerShell and command-line modes, while long
-    command examples stay contained inside their own blocks instead of stretching the page.
-  - All public pages now use the wider large-screen shell, and the single-column release-notes and license layouts use
-    a broader centered content width that matches the updated site scale.
-  - The public docs header logo is now larger so the NovaModuleTools brand is more prominent across the site.
 - Refresh public `Get-Help` content and examples for the Nova commands, including CLI usage and preview/confirmation
   scenarios.
     - Simplify `Invoke-NovaCli` help so it matches the launcher-vs-cmdlet split cleanly and PlatyPS can generate command
       help without failing during local builds.
 - Update the `nova` CLI documentation and help text to use POSIX/GNU-style long and short options while keeping
   PowerShell cmdlet examples in their native PowerShell form.
-- Document the CLI-native short-help and long-help forms in the root help text, README, and `Invoke-NovaCli`
-  reference.
-- Clarify the documentation split between the `nova` launcher-oriented CLI surface and the explicit PowerShell
-  `Invoke-NovaCli` cmdlet entrypoint, and mark examples consistently with `PS>` for PowerShell and `%` for CLI.
