Base v1.8.0

Added

• Restored the deprecated basectl ci setup|check|doctor and
  --verbose-wrapper compatibility aliases for the v1.x contract; new
  automation should use the canonical --ci and --debug-wrapper forms.

Changed

• Align the published Base CLI provider used by development dependencies and
  CI checkout workflows with base-cli 0.4.2.

• Treat GitHub's unsupported branch_name_pattern response as a capability
  warning during basectl repo configure, preserving the issue-branch policy
  workflow fallback instead of failing the whole repository configuration.

• Updated Base CI and source-checkout contract coverage to consume the
  published base-bash-libs v2.0.0 GA release commit.

• Refined basectl logs with comma-separated --command filters, the
  --latest path action, and the explicit last-failed report command.

• Clarified basectl logs action conflicts and help for --latest, --tail, and
  --open.

Fixed

• Aligned Base's self-repository baseline checks and workspace agent brief with
  base_manifest.yaml's ./bin/base-test validation contract while retaining
  tests/validate.sh for generated repositories.

• Preserved basectl check diagnostics and exit status when the optional
  latest-check record cannot be written, with stable JSON and text warnings.

• Separated basectl workspace check's readiness renderer from
  basectl workspace doctor's actionable finding renderer while preserving the
  shared read-only workspace checks and JSON diagnostic shape.

• Continue basectl onboard through project discovery and manifest trust
  status when basectl doctor reports remaining findings.

• Kept helper-backed Bash defaults and runtime prompts shell-local so child
  shells no longer report missing prompt helper functions.

• Corrected Bash startup's readonly BASE_HOME detection to inspect only
  variable attributes, allowing refreshed profile snippets to replace writable
  Homebrew paths while keeping genuine mismatch recovery diagnostics specific.

• Prevented basectl activate from reusing a virtual environment override owned
  by a different active project.

• Unified human-readable basectl doctor output across Base and project
  findings, including shared status styling and removal of redundant headings.

• Tightened basectl doctor text spacing, aligned fix continuations, and
  rendered final summaries as INFO logs.

• Made basectl history --command accept comma-separated command filters with
  the same normalization and validation as basectl logs --command.

• Preserved complete basectl history log paths, including filenames, in
  interactive terminal tables.

• Replaced the generic setup-only summary after failed checks with guidance to
  follow each finding's fix and rerun the check; activation-backed environment
  checks now mention project activation.

• Kept basectl history and basectl logs terminal tables aligned when command,
  project, or run-ID values exceed their compact minimum widths.

• Render blocking basectl check findings, remediation lines, and failure
  summaries as ERROR in text output while preserving WARN for non-blocking
  findings.

• Finalized basectl activate run bundles and history after the runtime shell
  exits, while isolating commands entered in the shell from the activation run
  context.

• Show the names and retention reasons for ordinary unmerged branches during
  local and GitHub remote branch pruning.

• Reported GitHub merge-verification failures separately from unmerged branches
  during branch and worktree pruning, while retaining every unverified cleanup
  candidate and returning a nonzero status for incomplete prune scans.

• Consolidated each public invocation into one run ID, one run.json, and one
  logs/primary.log; delegated Bash/Python phases now share the DEBUG-level
  diagnostic stream and produce one history row. Legacy internal logs and
  history rows are ignored by discovery and reporting.

• Restored local-time defaults for interactive Python CLI logs so Bash and
  Python output from one local run share a clock. --utc-wrapper remains the
  explicit UTC mode, while persisted history, run metadata, and run IDs remain
  canonical UTC; updated the cache, observability, and Base CLI documentation.
