Release 4.6.0

OpenFastTrace 4.6.0, released 2026-07-19

Code name: Status Filter at Import

Summary

We added a new feature to filter specification items by status at import time via -w or --wanted-statuses CLI parameters.
This is helpful when your project uses specification documents for planning future requirements (marked by the status "draft" or "porposed").

Big thanks to first-time contributor @Davidius86 who added a dark theme to OFT's HTML report. If your browser is set to a dark theme, the report will automatically switch. He alo added Doxygen file support to the Tag importer and added a convenience notation that lets you cover multiple specification items in a single tag:

// [impl -> dsn~a-covered-item~1, dsn~another~covered-item~2]

We also updated test and build dependencies to fix vulnerabilities. Runtime code is not affected, so no update is required.

We moved some GitHub action permissions from workflow-level to job-level. Sonar findings that accumulated with Sonar introducing new code rules were reduced a lot. Since OFT is used in safety-critical projects, code quality is crucial to us.
