Changelog

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

0.3.0 (2026-10-22)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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