CHANGELOG.md

@@ -5,6 +5,108 @@ All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
 The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
 This project uses [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org).
 
+## [0.4.1] - 2026-06-26
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Release CI** — added Linux arm64, macOS Intel, and macOS Apple Silicon build steps; renamed Windows output to `glint-<tag>-windows-amd64.exe` for consistency; added missing `-X main.version=<tag>` ldflags so release binaries report the correct version instead of `"dev"`.
+
+## [0.4.0] - 2026-06-26
+
+### Added
+
+- **Git branch auto-detection** — `glint check` and `glint graph` now run `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD` in the pipeline file's directory to determine the current branch when no `--branch`/`--tag`/`--source`/`--var` flags are given. Falls back to `main` when not inside a git repository or in detached-HEAD state (e.g. CI runners).
+
+- **GitLab predefined variable injection** — two categories of predefined variables are now present in the simulation context automatically:
+  - `CI=true` and `GITLAB_CI=true` are injected for every non-empty context, so expressions like `$CI == "true"` evaluate correctly without `--var`.
+  - MR-specific variables (`CI_MERGE_REQUEST_IID`, `CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_BRANCH_NAME`, `CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME`, and four others) are injected as placeholders when `--source merge_request_event` is given. `CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_BRANCH_NAME` is derived from `--branch` when provided. All injected defaults can be overridden with `--var`.
+
+- **Multi-platform release binaries** — `task build-release` now builds for all five platforms at once: Linux amd64, Linux arm64, macOS Intel, macOS Apple Silicon, Windows x86-64. Individual targets: `task build-linux-amd64`, `task build-linux-arm64`, `task build-darwin-amd64`, `task build-darwin-arm64`, `task build-windows`.
+
+- **Homebrew formula** — `Formula/glint.rb` is a source-build Homebrew formula. Set up a tap at `k3nny/homebrew-glint` on GitHub, then install with `brew tap k3nny/glint https://github.com/k3nny/homebrew-glint && brew install glint`.
+
+- **`INSTALL.md`** — installation guide covering pre-built binary download for all platforms, Homebrew tap, `go install`, and build-from-source with `/usr/local/bin` placement.
+
+## [0.3.1] - 2026-06-26
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`glint graph` default mode** — no-mode invocation now prints the job tree only (previously printed tree + `---` separator + Mermaid include graph). Use `glint graph includes` for the Mermaid include-dependency output.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`glint check --help`** — `--proxy` option was implemented but missing from the help text.
+- **`glint graph --help`** — `--cache-dir`, `--offline`, and `--proxy` options were implemented but missing from the help text.
+- **CI test** — `TestLoad_ReadError` skipped when running as root; Gitea runners execute as root which bypasses file permission checks, causing the test to fail.
+
+## [0.3.0] - 2026-06-26
+
+### Added
+
+- **`glint render` subcommand** — resolves all `include:` and `extends:` chains and writes the fully flattened pipeline to a single YAML file (default: `rendered.gitlab-ci.yml`; use `--output -` for stdout). Strips the consumed `include:` and `extends:` keys; retains template jobs (`.name`). Accepts the same network flags as `glint check` (`--token`, `--gitlab-url`, `--cache-dir`, `--offline`, `--proxy`). Useful for inspecting what GitLab CI actually sees or running further local tooling.
+
+- **`glint check --no-warn`** — discard all warning findings before output and exit-code calculation. Mixed pipelines (errors + warnings) still exit 2 but only errors are printed. Warnings-only pipelines report "OK" and exit 0.
+
+- **`glint graph --no-skipped`** — remove jobs that evaluate to `skipped` in the given context (or the implicit `branch=main` default) from all graph output: tree, SVG, HTML, and Mermaid.
+
+- **Colorized, columnized text output** — `glint check` (text format) now renders findings in four aligned columns: location, rule ID, severity, message. `error` is printed in bold red; `warning` in bold orange. Colors are auto-detected (stdout must be a terminal) and suppressed when `NO_COLOR` is set. Location uses `file:line:col` format when column information is available.
+
+- **`line:col` locations** — `Column int` added to `model.Job` (set from the YAML parser's `yaml.Node.Column`) and propagated to `Finding.Column` across all linter rules. Plain-text and `Finding.String()` now emit `file:line:col` when column is known.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Exit codes** *(breaking)* — `glint check` now exits `2` when one or more error findings are present (previously `1`) and `10` when findings contain only warnings. Exit `0` remains for a clean pipeline. Errors take precedence over warnings. Scripts that test `[ $? -eq 1 ]` need to be updated to `[ $? -eq 2 ]`.
+
+## [0.2.31] - 2026-06-26
+
+### Added
+
+- **Proxy support** — `--proxy <URL>` flag on `glint check`, `glint graph`, and `glint lsp`; also configurable via `proxy:` in `.glint.yml`. When set it takes precedence over `HTTP_PROXY` / `HTTPS_PROXY` env vars; when unset, system proxy settings are honoured automatically. Covers all remote include fetches and GitLab API calls.
+
+- **GL045: HTTP remote include warning** — new pipeline-level lint rule that warns when `include: remote:` uses a plain `http://` URL. CI templates fetched over unencrypted HTTP are at risk of in-transit tampering; `https://` is always preferred.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Path traversal in local includes** — `include: local:` paths containing `../` sequences that would escape the repository root (e.g. `../../etc/passwd`) are now rejected with a warning instead of reading arbitrary files from the host.
+
+- **HTTP timeout on remote fetches** — all HTTP calls in `internal/fetcher` now use a 30-second timeout; previously the client had no timeout and could hang indefinitely on slow or unresponsive servers.
+
+- **Unbounded response size** — remote include and GitLab API responses are now capped at 10 MiB using `io.LimitReader`; previously an arbitrarily large response could exhaust process memory.
+
+- **Cache file permissions** — the cache directory is created with mode `0700` (was `0755`) and cache files with `0600` (was `0644`), preventing other local users from reading cached GitLab tokens or pipeline content.
+
+- **LSP Content-Length DoS** — `glint lsp` now rejects incoming messages whose `Content-Length` header exceeds 64 MiB, preventing memory exhaustion from a malicious or misbehaving LSP client.
+
+## [0.2.30] - 2026-06-26
+
+### Added
+
+- **VS Code extension** (`editors/vscode/`) — TypeScript extension that starts `glint lsp` as a language server and connects to it via `vscode-languageclient`. Activates on YAML files; the `documentSelector` restricts LSP processing to `**/.gitlab-ci.yml` so other YAML files are unaffected. Inline error/warning squiggles appear on every save or edit. The `glint.executablePath` setting controls the binary path (default: `glint` on `PATH`). Build: `task ext-compile`; package as `.vsix`: `task ext-package`.
+
+## [0.2.29] - 2026-06-26
+
+### Added
+
+- **LSP server** (`glint lsp`) — new `internal/lsp` package and `glint lsp` subcommand that starts a Language Server Protocol server over stdin/stdout using Content-Length–framed JSON-RPC 2.0. Editors (VS Code, Neovim, Emacs, JetBrains, etc.) can connect with any generic LSP client configuration. Supported methods: `initialize`, `initialized`, `shutdown`, `exit`, `textDocument/didOpen`, `textDocument/didChange`, `textDocument/didSave`, `textDocument/didClose`. On every document open or change the server runs the full glint lint pipeline and publishes diagnostics via `textDocument/publishDiagnostics`; each diagnostic carries the rule ID as its `code` field and `"glint"` as `source`. Parse errors are surfaced as an Error diagnostic at the top of the document. Include resolution is best-effort (uses `GITLAB_TOKEN` / `GITLAB_URL` env vars; default cache dir `~/.cache/glint`). CLI flags: `--token`, `--gitlab-url`, `--cache-dir`, `--offline`.
+
+## [0.2.28] - 2026-06-26
+
+### Added
+
+- **Pre-commit hook** — `.pre-commit-hooks.yaml` defines a `glint` hook with `language: golang`; pre-commit builds glint from source automatically on first run and re-runs `glint check` on any staged `.gitlab-ci.yml` changes. Reference: `repo: https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint, rev: v0.2.28`.
+
+- **GitLab CI component** (`templates/check.yml`) — a GitLab CI/CD Catalog–compatible component that downloads the glint Linux binary and runs `glint check` as a pipeline job. Accepts inputs: `stage` (default `validate`), `pipeline_file` (default `.gitlab-ci.yml`), `version` (default `latest`), `allow_failure` (default `false`), and `extra_args`. Can also be used as a plain local or remote include without the Catalog.
+
+- **GitHub Actions composite action** (`action.yml`) — downloads the glint Linux binary into `$RUNNER_TEMP`, adds it to `$GITHUB_PATH`, and runs `glint check`. Inputs: `version`, `file`, `args`. Mirror this repository to GitHub as `k3nny/glint` to reference it as `uses: k3nny/glint@v0.2.28`.
+
+## [0.2.27] - 2026-06-25
+
+### Added
+
+- **Fuzz testing** — `FuzzParseBytes` and `FuzzSanitizeYAMLEscapes` in `internal/model/fuzz_test.go` verify that neither the YAML parser nor the escape sanitizer panics on arbitrary input. Successful parses are also checked for structural integrity (non-nil pipeline, no empty job names). Run with `task fuzz` (default 30 s per target; set `FUZZ_TIME=60s` to extend). Found failures are saved to `testdata/fuzz/` for regression.
+
+- **Changelog automation** — `cliff.toml` configures [git-cliff](https://git-cliff.org) to generate Keep-a-Changelog–compatible release notes from Conventional Commits. `task changelog` regenerates `CHANGELOG.md` from the full git history; `task changelog-next` previews only unreleased commits without writing. Install git-cliff with `brew install git-cliff` or `cargo install git-cliff`.

+`glint render <PIPELINE>` resolves all `include:` and `extends:` chains and

+CI processes server-side.
+
+```bash
+glint render .gitlab-ci.yml                        # writes rendered.gitlab-ci.yml

+# Installing glint
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Go 1.21 or later (for building from source)
+- Any 64-bit Linux, macOS, or Windows system (for pre-built binaries)
+
+---
+
+## Option 1 — Build from source
+
+```bash
+git clone https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint
+cd glint
+go build -o glint ./cmd/glint/...
+sudo mv glint /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+Or with [Task](https://taskfile.dev):
+
+```bash
+task build
+sudo mv glint /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+---
+
+## Option 2 — Download a pre-built binary
+
+Pre-built binaries are attached to each [release](https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint/releases).
+
+| Platform | File |
+|----------|------|
+| Linux x86-64 | `glint-vX.Y.Z-linux-amd64` |
+| Linux ARM64 | `glint-vX.Y.Z-linux-arm64` |
+| macOS Intel | `glint-vX.Y.Z-darwin-amd64` |
+| macOS Apple Silicon | `glint-vX.Y.Z-darwin-arm64` |
+| Windows x86-64 | `glint-vX.Y.Z-windows-amd64.exe` |
+
+### Linux (amd64)
+
+```bash
+VERSION=v0.4.0
+curl -Lo glint https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint/releases/download/${VERSION}/glint-${VERSION}-linux-amd64
+chmod +x glint
+sudo mv glint /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+### Linux (ARM64 — Raspberry Pi 4, AWS Graviton, …)
+
+```bash
+VERSION=v0.4.0
+curl -Lo glint https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint/releases/download/${VERSION}/glint-${VERSION}-linux-arm64
+chmod +x glint
+sudo mv glint /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+### macOS (Apple Silicon — M1/M2/M3)
+
+```bash
+VERSION=v0.4.0
+curl -Lo glint https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint/releases/download/${VERSION}/glint-${VERSION}-darwin-arm64
+chmod +x glint
+sudo mv glint /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+### macOS (Intel)
+
+```bash
+VERSION=v0.4.0
+curl -Lo glint https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint/releases/download/${VERSION}/glint-${VERSION}-darwin-amd64
+chmod +x glint
+sudo mv glint /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+### Verify the installation
+
+```bash
+glint --version
+```
+
+---
+
+## Option 3 — Homebrew (macOS and Linux)
+
+A Homebrew tap is available at `k3nny/glint`.
+
+> **First-time setup:** create a GitHub repository named `homebrew-glint`
+> under your account and copy [`Formula/glint.rb`](Formula/glint.rb) into it.
+> Users then install via the tap as shown below.
+
+```bash
+brew tap k3nny/glint https://github.com/k3nny/homebrew-glint
+brew install glint
+```
+
+To upgrade:
+
+```bash
+brew upgrade glint
+```
+
+The formula builds glint from source using Go, which Homebrew provides
+automatically as a build dependency. No pre-built binary download is needed.
+
+### Updating the formula on a new release
+
+After tagging a new release, update `Formula/glint.rb`:
+
+1. Compute the tarball checksum:
+   ```bash
+   curl -sL https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint/archive/vX.Y.Z.tar.gz | sha256sum
+   ```
+2. Update `url` and `sha256` in the formula.
+3. Commit and push to `homebrew-glint`.
+
+---
+
+## Option 4 — Go install
+
+If you already have Go 1.21+:
+
+```bash
+go install git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint/cmd/glint@latest
+```
+
+The binary is placed in `$(go env GOPATH)/bin/`. Add that directory to your
+`PATH` if it is not already there:
+
+```bash
+export PATH="$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin"
+```
+
+---

+- **Resolves includes** — local files, HTTPS URLs, GitLab project templates, and CI/CD Catalog components, with offline cache support and HTTP proxy support (`--proxy` flag or `proxy:` in `.glint.yml`)
+- **Renders merged pipeline** — `glint render` resolves all includes and `extends:` chains into a single flat YAML file, matching what GitLab CI actually processes
 - **Simulates context** — `--branch`, `--tag`, `--source` flags evaluate `rules:if:` and `only`/`except` to show which jobs would be active, manual, or skipped; `--context branch=main --context branch=develop` prints a multi-column comparison table across multiple contexts in one run
-- **Multiple output formats** — `--format text` (default, ruff-style), `json`, `sarif` (GitHub Code Scanning / GitLab SAST), `junit`, `github` (PR annotations)
+- **Multiple output formats** — `--format text` (default, colorized and column-aligned), `json`, `sarif` (GitHub Code Scanning / GitLab SAST), `junit`, `github` (PR annotations); exits `2` on errors, `10` on warnings only

+- **Project config** — `.glint.yml` for rule suppression, severity overrides, token/URL/proxy defaults; `# glint: ignore RULE` for per-job inline suppression; `--no-warn` flag to suppress all warnings
-- **Graph visualization** — `glint graph` prints a terminal job tree; `glint graph pipeline` renders a GitLab CI-style SVG/PNG; `--format mermaid` emits a Mermaid flowchart; `--format html` produces a self-contained HTML file with pan/zoom and a job-detail sidebar; context flags grey out skipped jobs
+- **Graph visualization** — `glint graph` prints a terminal job tree (default); `glint graph includes` emits a Mermaid include-dependency graph; `glint graph pipeline` renders a GitLab CI-style SVG/PNG; `--format mermaid` or `--format html` for alternative pipeline output; `--no-skipped` hides jobs that would not run in the given context
+- **LSP server** — `glint lsp` starts a Language Server Protocol server over stdin/stdout; connect with any LSP client to get inline diagnostics (rule ID as code, error/warning severity) in VS Code, Neovim, Emacs, JetBrains, etc.
+- **VS Code extension** — `editors/vscode/` wraps the LSP server; inline squiggles for every glint rule directly in the editor

+
+## Integrations
+
+### Pre-commit hook
+
+Add to `.pre-commit-config.yaml` in your repository to run glint automatically whenever `.gitlab-ci.yml` changes:
+
+```yaml
+repos:
+  - repo: https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint
+    rev: v0.3.0
+    hooks:
+      - id: glint
+```
+
+Requires [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) and Go 1.21+. On first run, pre-commit builds glint from source automatically.
+
+### GitLab CI component
+
+Copy [`templates/check.yml`](templates/check.yml) into your repository and include it as a local file, or publish this repository to a GitLab CI/CD Catalog and reference it as a component:
+
+```yaml
+# As a local include (copy templates/check.yml to your repo first):
+include:
+  - local: .gitlab/glint-check.yml
+
+# As a Catalog component (after publishing to a GitLab instance):
+include:
+  - component: $CI_SERVER_FQDN/k3nny/glint/check@v0.3.0
+    inputs:
+      stage: validate          # optional, default: validate
+      allow_failure: true      # optional, default: false
+```
+
+The component downloads the glint Linux binary, runs `glint check`, and respects all inputs defined in the `spec:` block.
+
+### GitHub Actions
+
+Copy [`action.yml`](action.yml) from this repository, or mirror this repo to GitHub as `k3nny/glint` and reference it directly:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: k3nny/glint@v0.3.0
+  with:
+    file: .gitlab-ci.yml   # optional, default: .gitlab-ci.yml
+    args: '--format sarif' # optional
+```
+
+The action downloads the glint Linux binary into `$RUNNER_TEMP` and runs `glint check`. Only Linux runners are supported (matches the available release binary).
+
+### VS Code extension
+
+Clone this repository and load the extension from `editors/vscode/`:
+
+```bash
+cd editors/vscode
+npm install          # install dependencies (once)
+npm run compile      # compile TypeScript → out/
+```
+
+Then in VS Code: **Run → Start Debugging** (F5) — this opens an Extension Development Host with glint diagnostics active for any `.gitlab-ci.yml` you open.
+
+Make sure `glint` is on your `PATH`, or set `glint.executablePath` in VS Code settings to the full path of the binary.
+
+To package a `.vsix` for local installation:
+
+```bash
+task ext-package     # produces glint-X.Y.Z.vsix
+code --install-extension glint-X.Y.Z.vsix
+```

+- [x] **Fuzz testing** — shipped v0.2.27; `FuzzParseBytes` and `FuzzSanitizeYAMLEscapes` in `internal/model/fuzz_test.go`; seeds run as regular tests in CI; `task fuzz` runs them continuously (default 30 s)
+- [x] **`glint check --no-warn`** — shipped v0.3.0; discards all warning findings before output and exit-code calculation; mixed pipelines (errors + warnings) still exit 2 but only errors are printed; warnings-only pipelines exit 0
+- [x] **Exit codes 2 / 10** *(breaking)* — shipped v0.3.0; `glint check` exits `2` when errors are present (previously `1`) and `10` when findings contain only warnings; exit `0` for clean
+- [x] **Git branch auto-detection** — shipped v0.4.0; when no context flags are given, `glint check` and `glint graph` run `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD` in the pipeline file's directory and use the result as the default branch (falls back to `main`)
+- [x] **GitLab predefined variable injection** — shipped v0.4.0; `CI=true` and `GITLAB_CI=true` always present in a non-empty context; MR-specific variables injected as placeholders when `--source merge_request_event`; all overridable via `--var`
