v0.7.0

Changelog

Changes to the public contract are recorded here. Versions follow Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

0.7.0 (2026-10-30)

• Migrate all platform profiles to ctx_parser 0.5 Commands declarations; remove Profile COMMANDS/PARSERS aliases.
• Derive Alteon discovery and firmware profiles through with_declarations, preserving model overrides and the original catalog.
• Require the parser-compatible ctx_driver/ctx_runner patch releases.

0.6.0 (2026-10-30)

• Inherit shared Observation value semantics with domain validation on construction and replacement. Use peer_address for BGP/NTP endpoints and public Target values in snapshots; expose records(name). Require Runner/Driver 0.5.

0.5.0 (2026-10-29)

• Compose the shared Observation and Snapshot contracts while retaining strict field, identity and scope validation. Remove the bespoke ScopedResult subtype.
• Expose collection_status independently of observations; require Time snapshot timestamps and serialize through CtxRunner::Document.

0.4.0 (2026-10-29)

• Use the shared Collection failure protocol; unknown snapshot dimensions raise ArgumentError while known missing observations remain not_requested.

0.3.3 (2026-10-24)

• Keep counters unknown when unit or scope evidence is missing, including zero values and matching previous samples; never assume packets or an implicit scope.
• Document explicit counter semantics and leave shared gem dependency selection to the host lockfile.

0.3.2 (2026-10-23)

• Allow Runner 0.2 while retaining the Collection, Query and Observation contracts.
• Require the driver that skips subsequent queries after malformed command receipts.

0.3.1 (2026-10-23)

• Require the parser version providing canonical platform lookup.
• Preserve conflicting PAN-OS interface total declarations as partial evidence.

0.3.0 (2026-10-22)

• Delegate shared collection, evidence and execution contracts to ctx_runner.
• Preserve domain parsing, change policies, CLI layouts and connection ownership.

0.2.5 (2026-10-21)

• Snapshot entire offline command/body batches before parser callbacks and reject non-text bodies before invoking any parser.

• Reduce temporary field-pair allocations when normalizing observations; add a configuration-to-report benchmark with semantic assertions.

• Add repository-specific AGENTS.md guidance for responsibilities, Ruby conventions, evidence boundaries and validation.

• Snapshot offline runtime view selections and explicit commands before parser callbacks, preserving result projections and evidence attribution.

0.2.4 (2026-10-19)

• Parse whitespace-delimited IOS, NX-OS, H3C and PAN-OS facts independently of Ruby's global field separator, preserving native whitespace splitting semantics.
• Exercise the five-gem collection-to-report chain with a local PTY in default checks and isolated package validation, including shared queries, source digests and command rejection without reconnecting.
• Activate explicitly supplied candidate package versions exactly during isolated verification; incompatible candidates fail instead of silently testing a newer dependency.
• Correct dependency documentation to match the existing compatible 0.2.x constraints.

0.2.3 (2026-10-18)

• Clear Bundler bootstrap variables when verifying packages in an isolated gem installation, including calls made through bundle exec.

• Index protocol coverage and conflicting scopes by field sets, preserving wildcard identities and OSPF interface scopes without quadratic scans.

0.2.2 (2026-10-18)

• Snapshot validated collection targets and dimensions before caller callbacks can alter them.

• Require lifecycle connectors to provide exactly one session, preventing silent empty collections and repeated queries.

• Reject unrequested observations as command fragments rather than upgrading them to complete evidence.

• Exercise the current optional net-connector API and share protocol receipts across custom-session tests without tying generic fixtures to connector result internals.

• Preserve proven aggregation capacity lower bounds in partial observations while retaining unknown overall coverage.

• Parse vendor lines and reconstruct H3C counters independently of Ruby's global record and output separators.

• Require valid dates and explicit UTC offsets in snapshot and command evidence timestamps, consistent with record timestamps.

• Count only complete member sources when proving aggregation capacity; incomplete sources cannot prove a capacity shortage.

• Index command diagnostics once per observation when constructing reports, avoiding repeated scans for expanded port queries.

• Add a synthetic report construction benchmark for 64, 256, and 512 failed queries.

0.2.1 (2026-10-17)

• Validate time-limit snapshot compatibility during policy construction; reject unsupported Numeric objects before evaluation while preserving exact Rational values.

0.2.0 (2026-10-17)

• Require ctx_parser and ctx_driver 0.2.x for the renamed public contracts.

• Allow isolated package verification to install explicitly supplied dependency candidate artifacts without changing gemspec dependency constraints.

• Require a measured temperature when an exact sensor policy supplies numeric thresholds.

• Preserve conflicting Cisco interface states as incomplete evidence and retain observed protocol failures.

• Normalize integer OSPF process identities in policies, observations, and coverage scopes; reject normalized duplicates.

• Bound parser diagnostic samples to 128 plus an omitted-count summary, and skip vendor parsing for explicit command failures.

• Index validated command implementations for response parsing, rebuilding the index after discovery expansion.

• Use the shared CtxParser::Configuration, Results, and Commands names and dimension indexes where applicable.

• Name system field definitions and validation SystemFields; exercise installed BGP parsing during package verification.

• Rename domain APIs directly; callers must use the new names (no compatibility aliases).

• Name required-dimension predicates and policy validators explicitly; expose sampling interval units in counter evaluation.

Changed

• Index CPU windows, optical measurements, aggregation membership, and required interfaces once, avoiding repeated full scans during parsing and health evaluation.

0.1.0 (2026-10-16)

Added

• Multi-vendor observations, normalized counters, applicability, runtime policies, and health reports.
• Standalone RubyGems packaging under ctx_checker with the ctx_checker require path and CtxChecker namespace.
• English and Chinese documentation, an offline example, and standalone RSpec/RuboCop development tasks.
• Linux/macOS CI, isolated package verification, and automatic RubyGems and GitHub Releases with identical artifacts.

Changed

• Cross-module dependencies resolve through RubyGems/Bundler instead of relative sibling paths.
• Motor persistence and application-specific adapters remain in the host application.

• Multi-vendor observations, normalized counters, applicability, runtime policies, and health reports.
• Standalone RubyGems packaging under ctx_checker with the ctx_checker require path and CtxChecker namespace.
• English and Chinese documentation, an offline example, and standalone RSpec/RuboCop development tasks.
• Linux/macOS CI, isolated package verification, and automatic RubyGems and GitHub Releases with identical artifacts.

Changed

• Cross-module dependencies resolve through RubyGems/Bundler instead of relative sibling paths.
• Motor persistence and application-specific adapters remain in the host application.

v0.3.1

Changelog

Changes to the public contract are recorded here. Versions follow Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

0.3.1 (2026-10-23)

• Require the parser version providing canonical platform lookup.
• Preserve conflicting PAN-OS interface total declarations as partial evidence.

0.3.0 (2026-10-22)

• Delegate shared collection, evidence and execution contracts to ctx_runner.
• Preserve domain parsing, change policies, CLI layouts and connection ownership.

0.2.5 (2026-10-21)

• Snapshot entire offline command/body batches before parser callbacks and reject non-text bodies before invoking any parser.

• Reduce temporary field-pair allocations when normalizing observations; add a configuration-to-report benchmark with semantic assertions.

• Add repository-specific AGENTS.md guidance for responsibilities, Ruby conventions, evidence boundaries and validation.

• Snapshot offline runtime view selections and explicit commands before parser callbacks, preserving result projections and evidence attribution.

0.2.4 (2026-10-19)

• Parse whitespace-delimited IOS, NX-OS, H3C and PAN-OS facts independently of Ruby's global field separator, preserving native whitespace splitting semantics.
• Exercise the five-gem collection-to-report chain with a local PTY in default checks and isolated package validation, including shared queries, source digests and command rejection without reconnecting.
• Activate explicitly supplied candidate package versions exactly during isolated verification; incompatible candidates fail instead of silently testing a newer dependency.
• Correct dependency documentation to match the existing compatible 0.2.x constraints.

0.2.3 (2026-10-18)

• Clear Bundler bootstrap variables when verifying packages in an isolated gem installation, including calls made through bundle exec.

• Index protocol coverage and conflicting scopes by field sets, preserving wildcard identities and OSPF interface scopes without quadratic scans.

0.2.2 (2026-10-18)

• Snapshot validated collection targets and dimensions before caller callbacks can alter them.

• Require lifecycle connectors to provide exactly one session, preventing silent empty collections and repeated queries.

• Reject unrequested observations as command fragments rather than upgrading them to complete evidence.

• Exercise the current optional net-connector API and share protocol receipts across custom-session tests without tying generic fixtures to connector result internals.

• Preserve proven aggregation capacity lower bounds in partial observations while retaining unknown overall coverage.

• Parse vendor lines and reconstruct H3C counters independently of Ruby's global record and output separators.

• Require valid dates and explicit UTC offsets in snapshot and command evidence timestamps, consistent with record timestamps.

• Count only complete member sources when proving aggregation capacity; incomplete sources cannot prove a capacity shortage.

• Index command diagnostics once per observation when constructing reports, avoiding repeated scans for expanded port queries.

• Add a synthetic report construction benchmark for 64, 256, and 512 failed queries.

0.2.1 (2026-10-17)

• Validate time-limit snapshot compatibility during policy construction; reject unsupported Numeric objects before evaluation while preserving exact Rational values.

0.2.0 (2026-10-17)

• Require ctx_parser and ctx_driver 0.2.x for the renamed public contracts.

• Allow isolated package verification to install explicitly supplied dependency candidate artifacts without changing gemspec dependency constraints.

• Require a measured temperature when an exact sensor policy supplies numeric thresholds.

• Preserve conflicting Cisco interface states as incomplete evidence and retain observed protocol failures.

• Normalize integer OSPF process identities in policies, observations, and coverage scopes; reject normalized duplicates.

• Bound parser diagnostic samples to 128 plus an omitted-count summary, and skip vendor parsing for explicit command failures.

• Index validated command implementations for response parsing, rebuilding the index after discovery expansion.

• Use the shared CtxParser::Configuration, Results, and Commands names and dimension indexes where applicable.

• Name system field definitions and validation SystemFields; exercise installed BGP parsing during package verification.

• Rename domain APIs directly; callers must use the new names (no compatibility aliases).

• Name required-dimension predicates and policy validators explicitly; expose sampling interval units in counter evaluation.

Changed

• Index CPU windows, optical measurements, aggregation membership, and required interfaces once, avoiding repeated full scans during parsing and health evaluation.
