v0.5.0

Highlights

• Discover the nearest .sloc-guard.toml from the invocation directory up to the Git repository boundary.
• Keep configuration-file patterns stable and relative to the configuration root across check, stats, snapshot, structure rules, output, cache, and baseline handling.
• Report the selected configuration with -v, and show an actionable built-in-defaults notice for interactive output without polluting quiet or machine-readable output.
• Make explain --sources use the same ancestor discovery and report the effective source chain.
• Unify logical-path glob normalization while preserving basename-only patterns and explicit rooted-pattern behavior.

Compatibility and migration

• Configuration-file path patterns are now evaluated relative to the discovered configuration root. CLI --exclude remains relative to the invocation directory.
• The cache format is now v4. Existing caches are invalidated and rebuilt automatically.
• Baselines generated by older versions from a project subdirectory can contain ambiguous path keys. Regenerate those baselines from the project root after upgrading.
• Rust library callers relying on basename-only StructureScanConfig::scanner_exclude_dir_names values should migrate to configuration-root-relative safe prefixes.
