v0.9.0

Changed

• Releases now run end-to-end in CI via scripts/release. Triggering a release with scripts/release <version|major|minor|patch> queues a workflow_dispatch run that performs the version bump (via cargo set-version --workspace — handles all 7 crate versions + 4 [workspace.dependencies] pins + Cargo.lock in one call), ## Unreleased roll, commit, tag, GitHub Release, multi-platform build for both lexd and lexd-lsp (mac arm64+x86_64 signed+notarized, linux x86_64+arm64 gnu, linux x86_64 musl, windows x86_64), .deb attach for lexd on linux-gnu, crates.io publish for the 6 publishable crates in dep order, and Homebrew formula push for lexd to arthur-debert/homebrew-tools — all in CI. Replaces the previous local cargo release + tag-push trigger model. The legacy scripts/release.sh remains in the tree but is no longer the supported release path.
• macOS arm64 + x86_64 binaries are now Developer ID signed and Apple-notarized for both lexd and lexd-lsp. Previously adhoc/linker-signed only — meaning editor extensions (lexed, vscode, nvim) bundling lexd-lsp had to handle the unsigned inner binary themselves. Now both binaries can be re-bundled cleanly.

Added

• Homebrew installation via arthur-debert/homebrew-tools tap. Install with brew install arthur-debert/tools/lexd. Installs lexd only — lexd-lsp continues to ship as tarball-only artifacts on the GitHub Release for editor extensions to consume.
• .deb packages for Debian/Ubuntu (amd64 + arm64). apt install ./lexd_<version>_<arch>.deb after downloading from the GitHub Release. Built by cargo deb in CI using the new [package.metadata.deb] block in crates/lex-cli/Cargo.toml.

Fixed

• lex-analysis: the missing-footnote diagnostic no longer false-positives on numbered references inside a table cell when the resolving footnote list is the table's own positional list. The resolver now extends its in-scope footnote definitions with table.footnotes while walking a table's subject and cells, and restores the outer scope on exit. References outside a table still cannot reach table-local footnotes. The diagnostic message has been reworded from "no matching item in a :: notes :: list" to the scope-agnostic "no matching footnote definition in scope" to reflect that table-local definitions are also a valid resolution target.
• lex-analysis: the table-inconsistent-columns diagnostic no longer false-positives on rows whose column count is reduced by ^^ rowspan markers. Effective row width now accounts for cells carried over from previous rows via rowspan, not just colspans of the row's own cells.

Added

• lexd now accepts piped input on stdin for inspect, convert, and format when the file path is omitted. Examples:

  • cat foo.lex | lexd inspect ast-tag
  • cat foo.lex | lexd --from lex --to markdown
  • cat foo.lex | lexd format

  convert requires --from when reading from stdin (there is no filename to auto-detect the source format from).

• lex-core: Lexplore::footnotes(n) loads footnote samples from comms/specs/elements/footnotes.docs/, mirroring the other per-element loaders.

Tests

• Migrated all footnote-related tests off ad-hoc inline .lex strings: lex-analysis diagnostics and collect_footnote_definitions, lexd-lsp footnote reordering, and lex-babel HTML/IR table-footnote round-trips now load canonical samples from footnotes.docs/ and table.docs/ via Lexplore.
• Migrated lex-analysis table diagnostic tests (inconsistent columns, colspan/rowspan interactions) to the existing table.docs/ samples — no new fixtures needed.
