v0.5.0

makevn v0.5.0

Focused verification, backed by your project's test evidence

Large Maven projects make it hard to know which tests belong to a change. v0.5.0 helps makevn answer that question with a project-specific test impact map: it starts with static analysis and can learn from real test runs, then helps select relevant tests across modules. Preview the scope and see when the available evidence calls for a broader run, so each result is clear about what it covers.

Highlights

• Start with an automatically initialized test impact map and resume maps as your project gathers more evidence.
• Select tests across Maven reactor modules, including nested and generated source roots, with previews that explain scope and fallbacks.
• Keep focused-run coverage clear: choose to defer the global JaCoCo failure for explicit focused runs while still surfacing available coverage evidence.
• Resolve Maven settings secrets from native operating-system stores at command time, keeping values out of project configuration.
• Get clearer Compose discovery diagnostics and MCP support for installing the CRAP analyzer.

v0.4.0

makevn v0.4.0

Better project detection, Testcontainers and optional Compose

This release helps makevn adapt to real Maven repositories with fewer manual workarounds. It improves JDK and Maven compatibility checks, connects Testcontainers tests to local Docker contexts, and lets projects opt out of Compose when discovered files are only examples or optional services.

Highlights

• Discover Java requirements from local Maven Enforcer rules, resolve referenced properties from published parent POMs, and ask which installed JDK to use when several are compatible.
• Find the outer Maven reactor, preserve tool pins and wrappers, and validate the selected Maven version before running build goals.
• Forward supported local Docker context endpoints to Testcontainers tests and map conventional Colima sockets correctly for Ryuk.
• Choose none for boot or E2E Compose setup, select an explicit file path, or override the choice per command with --compose-file PATH|none.
• Avoid unnecessary HTTP-health questions for console programs and libraries, and report declared Checkstyle support more accurately.
• Select agent integrations and resolved symlink destinations during interactive upgrades while preserving the links.
• Use the new makevn-product-test skill to validate MakeVN against real repositories with reproducible reports and explicit failure classifications.
• Get consistent generated-source cleanup guidance and preserve failed-command status in repository sweep reports.

v0.3.0

makevn v0.3.0

Portable agent skills and safer service startup

This release makes agent workflows easier to install, maintain and follow. Portable skills explain setup and recovery, existing integrations can be upgraded, and routine Docker startup preserves service data.

Breaking change: Docker startup no longer resets data

makevn docker-up and makevn karate-docker-up now start services without first deleting their volumes. The matching down commands also retain volumes, and lifecycle operations no longer prune unused volumes globally.

If a workflow requires fresh service data, explicitly use makevn docker-reset or makevn karate-docker-reset. These commands remove the selected Compose project's volumes before restarting; agents must obtain authorization for that data deletion. Use named volumes for data that must be reattached after a later startup.

Highlights

• Register portable workflow skills alongside MCP for Codex and OpenCode.
• Refresh existing skills and MCP registrations with makevn agent upgrade.
• Follow clearer MCP doctor setup and recovery guidance, with more concise JVM and bind-mount diagnostics.
• Clean up completed MCP executions and private logs after a default retention of three days, with configurable retention and a dry-run cleanup command.
• Read a consistent help layout and terminal colors across CLI commands.

Complete project setup inside your agent chat

Agents can now collect missing repository settings in conversation and save them through MCP. Doctor exposes the questions that still need answers, allowing setup to continue without handing the user off to an interactive terminal.

Highlights

• Answer Compose selection, local-container, application-health and Karate-profile questions through MCP doctor_configure.
• Save partial answers and continue with the remaining questions; invalid or stale submissions preserve existing settings.
• Protect configuration updates from concurrent setup sessions.
• Recognize exhaustive changed-code scope as a valid analysis outcome when focused selection is unavailable.
• Keep agent Docker operations within MakeVN's supported commands and diagnostics.

Inspect and cancel running MCP workflows

Long-running verification no longer prevents an MCP client from checking progress or requesting cancellation. This release adds execution tracking and supervision so agents can follow their work, preserve diagnostics, and stop the processes they own.

Highlights

• List executions and inspect their status through MCP while a verification is running.
• Cancel session-owned executions and their supervised child processes, retaining logs and execution records.
• Reject conflicting workflows before they start, including conflicts across MCP servers using the same worktree.
• Keep doctor and changed-code preview responsive during execution.
• Get clearer guidance for Docker readiness and changed-code validation before starting tests.

makevn v0.1.16

Focused verification with clearer evidence

This release improves how makevn selects tests for changed code, checks the freshness of coverage evidence, and explains verification results. Setup respects repository tool choices more closely, while CLI and MCP diagnostics make failures easier to investigate.

Highlights

• Discover change impact across Maven reactor modules and shared test resources, selecting broader suites when a narrower scope cannot be established.
• Coordinate focused tests, coverage and CRAP checks with fresh evidence from the prepared build inputs.
• Honor repository-pinned Maven installations and exclude experimental JDKs from automatic selection.
• Read consistent structured MCP results, with command traces available only when explicitly requested.
• Follow verification phases and telemetry in the dashboard, switch log tailing on and off, and see cancellation reported clearly.
• Get Docker recovery advice that reflects the detected runtime, while optional formatter diagnostics preserve the original test failure.

v0.1.14

makevn v0.1.14

Clearer setup, steadier feedback

This release makes it easier to know what your project needs before running a workflow—and to follow what is happening while it runs. Setup advice is more explicit, the live dashboard stays visible between commands, and Docker phases show resource usage for your project’s containers.

Breaking change: Make integration removed

makevn now runs exclusively through its CLI and MCP tools. Existing Makefiles are left untouched, but old makevn includes and generated artifacts must be removed manually; there is no automatic migration.

Makefile variables no longer configure makevn. Move container settings to .makevn/config or explicitly export LOCAL_CONTAINERS.

Highlights

• Get concise, noninteractive setup advice with makevn doctor --compact, including when initialization needs refreshing.
• Follow multi-command workflows without losing the live dashboard between steps.
• See CPU and memory usage for your project’s containers during Docker phases.
• Start Karate tests only after the application responds successfully at its health endpoint.
• Get actionable formatter-recovery guidance when formatting blocks a test run.

Better runtime discovery and actionable recovery

This release improves asdf Java discovery, nested Maven-wrapper execution, and the guidance shown when Docker prerequisites fail.

Breaking change: generic exec removed

makevn exec and its MCP tool are removed. Migrate to dedicated makevn commands for supported workflows, and use normal terminal tools for other operations.

Highlights

• Discovers asdf-managed Java runtimes and aligns the runtime context reported to users.
• Runs nested Maven wrappers from their own project directory.
• Suggests Docker recovery steps when verification cannot proceed.
• Reduces internal Rust and Bash CRAP warnings and separates dispatcher unit tests from production modules.

Highlights

• Adds Java CRAP analysis through makevn crap and changed-method reporting through makevn crap-changes.
• Supports JaCoCo HTML input as well as the existing coverage-report workflow.
• Introduces an internal Rust/Bash CRAP ratchet to prevent increases in the project's warning budget.
