v2026.6.6 — Bronze Quality Scale

Bronze Quality Scale Achieved 🥉

This release formally meets all requirements of the Home Assistant Integration Quality Scale Bronze tier — the baseline standard for integrations that can be set up through the UI and follow core HA conventions.

What Bronze means

The Bronze tier covers the foundational requirements every quality integration should fulfill:

• Configurable entirely through the UI (no YAML required)
• All entities have stable unique IDs
• has_entity_name = True on all entities
• Runtime data stored via ConfigEntry.runtime_data
• Services registered in async_setup (once per HA start, not per entry)
• Connection tested during config flow and on setup
• Duplicate entries prevented
• Entity events subscribed in correct lifecycle methods
• Appropriate polling interval set
• Branding assets (icon.png / logo.png) served from brand/
• Full test coverage for the config flow (96 tests)
• Dependencies declared transparently via PyPI (python-openpublictransport)
• Documentation available at docs.openpublictransport.net

Changes in this release

• quality_scale.yaml added — all 18 Bronze rules tracked as done or exempt
• manifest.json: quality_scale field set to "bronze"
• Minimum HA version: bumped to 2026.3.0 (required for integrated brand asset serving)
• Python 3.12 dropped from test matrix — HA 2026.3+ requires Python 3.13+
• Test matrix: Python 3.13 and 3.14

Next milestone: Silver 🥈

The Silver tier focuses on reliability — error recovery, entity availability signalling, re-authentication, parallel update limits, and >95% test coverage across all modules.
