v1.7.0

[1.7.0] - 2026-03-01

Added

• New read-only Git Source of Truth provider with repository sync status reporting and per-source pull summaries.
• Git source parsing now supports both static host YAML and remote Ansible inventory YAML via inventory_format.
• Config editor now adds field-level helper descriptions for all source providers (NetBox, Ansible, Consul, Git) to improve discoverability.
• Onboarding wizard now supports Git provider setup, backend selection guidance on macOS, and a final configuration summary before save.
• New regression tests for Git provider sync/parse flows (including Ansible mode) and provider initialization behavior.
• Added a grouped Table Columns picker modal with category-based checkbox selection (Common, Origin, Static/SSH, Ansible, Git, NetBox, Consul).
• Demo configuration now includes both git-backed sources: demo-git-ansible and demo-git-static.
• Added targeted tests for git-ansible filtering (exclude_groups, host_patterns) and table-column picker categorization helpers.

Changed

• Git source selection is simplified to one parameter, source_pattern, combining path and glob (for example hosts/**/*.y*ml).
• Host selector refresh (r) now performs git source sync first, then reloads providers, removing the separate git-update key path.
• Config editor source forms now use the same top-of-field description pattern as the General pane for clearer UX on smaller screens.
• Config editor spacing is compacted across source/provider forms while keeping button labels readable on laptop-sized terminals.
• Standard table-column preset now defaults to cross-SoT fields (source, status, description, user, port, platform) in addition to core host fields.
• Static host row editor list height was increased to show more host rows without scrolling.
• Removed git profile selection from configuration/UI and simplified git imports to use only source, format, and priority controls.

Fixed

• Improved provider setup defaults and compatibility by preserving legacy path/file_glob fallback when source_pattern is not set.
• Prevented accidental source-setting ambiguity by enforcing read-only git sync strategy (ff-only) in saved config shape.
• Fixed table-column picker checkbox labels not rendering in compact modal layout.
• Fixed inventory format select wrapping/truncation in Sources import forms.
