v0.5.0

0.5.0 - 2026-05-10

Added

• Added configurable CRAP thresholds across the CLI, Maven plugin, and Gradle plugin, and exposed the active threshold in primary reports.
• Added AI-agent-friendly primary report controls across the CLI, Maven plugin, and Gradle plugin: agent, failuresOnly, omitRedundancy, report-output path controls, and the none primary report format.
• Added dedicated Maven and Gradle report controls for primary output, JUnit sidecars, and consumer-configurable report paths.
• Added the dedicated cognitive-java Gate CI job and documented the matching local self-hosting gate workflow.

Changed

• CRAP scoring now uses the worse available JaCoCo instruction or branch coverage and records the selected coverage kind per method.
• Simplified machine-readable report schemas to a top-level status and threshold plus method entries, and redefined agent mode as a composite shortcut that can still be overridden explicitly.
• Switched JSON and JUnit XML report marshaling to Jackson and improved the text report table formatting.
• Resolved Maven report paths against the execution root, clarified Maven Central versus Plugin Portal consumption guidance, and documented self-hosting gate ownership more precisely.

Fixed

• Hardened Gradle report state tracking and cleanup for stale sidecars, aliased paths, case-collision paths, symlinked targets, concurrent task state, and failed report replacement scenarios.
• Kept Gradle module and JaCoCo report mappings configuration-cache-friendly while validating report-path collisions and internal-task file misuse earlier.

Dependencies

• Updated Java build and publishing dependencies, including JUnit 6.0.3, Jackson 2.21.3, Error Prone 2.49.0, NullAway 0.13.4, Maven plugin tooling, and the Sonatype Central publishing plugin 0.10.0.
