v0.3.0

0.3.0 (2026-09-27)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• rules: a dynamic import whose target isn't a string literal (importlib.import_module(name), exec(code), …) in any layer but the outermost now fails inwards check (INW011). Use a literal or an import statement, move the loader to the outermost layer and pass what it loads in through a Protocol-typed parameter, or baseline it.
• rules: a layered file that imports a first-party module that doesn't exist now fails inwards check (INW010). Fix the import, create the module, or run inwards baseline.
• rules: in a config with two or more layers, the innermost layer now denies 32 frameworks, database and network clients and standard-library I/O modules by default (INW005), so a domain that imports one of them, such as sqlalchemy, requests or subprocess, fails inwards check after the upgrade. Move the import behind a port implemented in an outer layer, set deny-libraries = [] on the innermost layer to turn the default off, or run inwards baseline to accept the existing imports.
