v0.0.4

Backlog and task-kind release. Introduces a dedicated backlog status so tasks can be parked without polluting the open queue, adds a first-class kind field for distinguishing features from bugs/chores, and lets docket launch straight into the TUI when invoked bare. Also lands a batch of TUI polish: fewer error states, better edit-form ergonomics, and wider test coverage.

Added

• docket backlog — new top-level command that lists backlog tasks; docket backlog add parks a new task directly in the backlog (T-10).
• backlog status across the model — docket add --status backlog, docket status <id> backlog, and docket ls --status backlog all recognize the new state; backlog tasks are excluded from default ls/ready output (T-10).
• kind field on tasks — every task now carries a kind (defaults to feature; known kinds include feature, bug, chore). Propagated through add, update, show, ls, and the TUI list/detail/edit views. Schema migration adds the column on existing databases (T-9).
• Bare docket invocation launches the TUI — running docket with no subcommand now opens the interactive UI instead of printing help (T-16).

Changed

• TUI edit screen overhauled — improved field navigation, validation feedback, and reduced error states when saving partial edits (T-9).
• docket plugin description expanded so the marketplace listing better reflects current capabilities (T-11).

Tests

• Integration coverage for backlog add/list/status transitions, kind defaulting and explicit values across CLI verbs, bare-invocation TUI launch, and update flows for the new fields.

v0.0.3

The TUI release. Lands an interactive docket tui for navigating, mutating, and starting tasks without leaving the keyboard, plus a docket update subcommand for editing tasks in place. The CLI core was extracted into modules along the way (cli/, db/, model/, prompts/, tui/) so the TUI and CLI share a single data layer.

Added

• docket tui — interactive terminal UI built on ratatui/crossterm. List/detail panes, filters, help overlay, chord-driven keybindings via a scope-based command registry. Keys: s cycles status (open → in_progress → done), d marks done, x deletes (with confirm modal), n/e open Add/Edit forms, Tab/Shift+Tab cycle fields, Ctrl+S saves, Esc on dirty form prompts to discard, S/Ctrl+S start the cursor task (tmux variant for the latter), live per-field validation with placeholder hints.
• docket update <id> — partial-field updates for title, body, acceptance, deps, priority, and group. Requires at least one field; lazily creates the group if missing; replaces deps exactly; bumps updated_at. Covered by integration tests for help, flag presence, deps replacement, group creation, missing id, and multi-field updates.
• docket start --tmux upgraded — now creates and attaches a fresh tmux session, spawning a terminal if invoked outside of tmux (T-4). The 0.0.2 implementation only opened a window inside an existing session; this closes the gap for "I just want to start a task in a new pane from anywhere."

Changed

• docket add accepts hyphen-prefixed values (e.g. --body "- bullet") without clap mistaking them for flags.
• src/main.rs modularized: cli/ (one file per subcommand handler + dispatcher), db/ (schema, connection, read-side queries, mutation helpers), model/ (Task, Group, parse helpers), prompts/, tui/. The single 750-line main.rs is now a ten-line entry point.

Tests

• End-to-end tests for add/update/start against the built binary; unit tests pin parse_id, parse_deps, deps_from_db.

v0.0.2

The handoff release. Closes the loop between picking a task and handing it to an agent — docket start assembles a task's body, acceptance, and the embedded tdd-pursuit discipline into a single ready-to-pipe brief, optionally delivered into a fresh tmux window. Also lands the Claude Code plugin and stands up tag-driven release automation so future versions ship from a two-command flow.

Added

• docket start <id> — assembles # Task T-N: <title>, ## Body, ## Acceptance, and the verbatim tdd-pursuit template into a single stdout blob. Composes with pipes/redirects: docket start T-N | claude, docket start T-N | pbcopy, docket start T-N > /tmp/p.md. Transitions the task to in_progress and bumps updated_at. Refuses done tasks with a hint at docket status. Accepts both T-3 and 3 ID forms.
• docket start --tmux — opens the brief in a fresh tmux window, delivering the prompt to a new shell ready for an agent invocation.
• Claude Code plugin (/docket:create-task, /docket:start T-N) — exposes the CLI verbs as slash commands inside an active session. Installable via /plugin marketplace add parzival1l/docket then /plugin install docket@docket.
• Hermetic integration test suite for docket start — 7 tests covering each acceptance behavior end-to-end against the built binary.

Changed

• Documentation reorganized into docs/ — CHANGELOG.md, RESEARCH.md, RESEARCH-STORAGE.md, ROADMAP.md moved out of the repo root. Only README.md and LICENSE remain at the top level.
• Release pipeline now reads release notes from docs/CHANGELOG.md.

Release automation

• release.toml — cargo-release configuration that bumps Cargo.toml + Cargo.lock, splits ## [Unreleased] in CHANGELOG into a new dated version section, and commits as release: <version> without tagging or pushing.
• .github/workflows/auto-tag.yml — fires on push to main, reads the version from Cargo.toml, creates and pushes the matching v<version> tag if absent, then dispatches release.yml. Cuts the maintainer flow to two commands: cargo release X.Y.Z --execute then git push origin main.

v0.0.1

Initial release. v1 CLI shell with embedded prompts and bundled SQLite store.

Added

• CLI verbs: init, add, ls, show, ready, blocked, status, done, rm, prompt, group {new,ls,show,close}.
• Per-repo SQLite store at .docket/db.sqlite (auto-gitignored on init).
• Two tables: tasks (with first-class acceptance and deps fields) and groups.
• Computed ready queue and blocked debug view from unmet deps.
• Four prompt templates embedded at build time via include_str!: tdd-pursuit, create-task, commit, pr.
• --json output on every list/show command for agent consumption.
• Release pipeline: tag-triggered cross-builds for {macOS, Linux} × {x86_64, aarch64}, GitHub Release with checksums, install.sh for curl | bash install.

Notes

• Versioning starts at 0.0.x deliberately. Every shipped item bumps the patch (0.0.2, 0.0.3, …). The cut to 0.1.0 is maintainer judgment, not a feature checklist — it happens when the loop feels solid for daily use. docket start landing is the most likely trigger but is not by itself sufficient.
