MinifyCLI v0.2.0

MinifyCLI v0.2 adds opt-in recording and replay plus a reproducible command-output evaluation harness.

• mini --record DIR COMMAND ... saves original and emitted child stdout/stderr from one execution, with native argv/status metadata. The directory must be new and its parent must exist. Statistics are excluded from the recorded child streams.
• mini --replay DIR applies current filters to complete original captures without executing the command. The recorded failure context, line-clipping setting, and exit status are retained.
• Recording is local and explicit, with owner-only files on macOS/Linux. It can contain sensitive output or arguments; no environment snapshot is stored. Disk usage grows with output, and filesystem stalls can delay recording completion or cancellation.
• Replay rejects incomplete, cancelled, spilled, malformed, length-inconsistent, or symlink-backed records. The default raw replay cap is 4 MiB per stream. Length checks are not cryptographic authentication.
• API and CLI regressions cover binary output, native argv encoding, replay after deleting the executable, statistics separation, exclusivity, cancellation, and spills.
• The evaluation harness supports captured-output replay, diagnostic checks, and repeatable command executions on pinned repository snapshots.
• Local token counting uses pinned tiktoken==0.14.0 with the named o200k_base and cl100k_base encodings. These are evaluation dependencies only; the Rust binary still has no third-party Rust dependencies or model API calls.

See the recording guide, evaluation method, and evaluation artifacts for format details, reproduction instructions, and scope. Raw captures and repository snapshots remain local; shared evidence is reviewed and sanitized.

Download the archive matching your OS and architecture, extract it, and place mini on your PATH. Verify it against SHA256SUMS. Rust 1.74 remains the minimum source compiler.

Use --raw without recording for exact machine-consumed output, interactive programs, and live/watch sessions. The v0.1.1 conservative JavaScript retention policy remains: individual checkmark lines stay intact, and the handcrafted Jest fixture still measures 2.0% byte reduction.

MinifyCLI v0.1.1

MinifyCLI v0.1.1 fixes application-log retention and adds bounded cancellation for buffered commands on macOS and Linux.

• Retains checkmark-prefixed application messages and timing-looking log lines that v0.1.0 could mistake for JavaScript test passes. Only narrowly recognized Jest file headers are removed; ambiguous Vitest records are retained.
• Forwards SIGINT/SIGTERM received by mini to the buffered command's process group, allows 500 ms for cleanup, and force-stops remaining group members. Returns 130/143 even when a child handles the signal and exits successfully.
• Handles cancellation after the command leader exits while descendants retain its pipes. Bounded drain avoids hanging on a stalled output consumer; captures completed before filtering are emitted unfiltered when cancellation is detected.
• Stops buffered command groups when downstream output pipes close, with exit status 141.
• Adds regression fixtures for success-looking logs, failure diagnostics, CRLF, and missing final newlines, plus subprocess cancellation tests. Captured Cargo and Node TAP probes provide real-framework replay coverage with documented provenance.
• Updates the synthetic Jest fixture measurement to 2.0% byte reduction (2,622 → 2,570), reflecting the more conservative retention policy.

The binary still has no third-party Rust dependencies or API calls. Rust 1.74 remains the minimum supported compiler.

Use --raw for machine-consumed output, exact patches, interactive programs, and live/watch sessions. Group cleanup cannot cover descendants that create a new group/session, and SIGKILL cannot be handled. Cancellation prioritizes bounded cleanup over complete output when a sink stalls. Savings are measured in bytes on handcrafted fixtures; they are not token-cost or production-workload measurements.

MinifyCLI v0.1.0

MinifyCLI's first release provides mini, a Rust command wrapper for reducing human-readable terminal output in coding-agent context.

• Cargo test/build output, Jest/Vitest/Node test logs, unified Git diffs, and numbered search matches.
• Preserved command arguments, stdin, working directory, environment, and exit codes.
• Raw passthrough, binary/unknown-output fallback, and a bounded capture buffer.
• Byte statistics and reproducible synthetic fixture benchmarks.
• No third-party Rust dependencies, configuration service, API keys, or network calls by mini.

This is an early release. Compression is format-dependent. Use --raw for machine-consumed output, exact patches, interactive programs, and live/watch sessions. Savings are measured in bytes on handcrafted fixtures; they are not token-cost or production-workload measurements.
