@@ -5,6 +5,62 @@ 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).
 
+## [0.3.1] - 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`.

+`glint render <PIPELINE>` resolves all `include:` and `extends:` chains and
+writes the fully flattened pipeline to a single YAML file. This is what GitLab
+CI processes server-side.

+```bash
+glint render .gitlab-ci.yml                        # writes rendered.gitlab-ci.yml

+glint render --offline --cache-dir ~/.cache/glint .gitlab-ci.yml

+
+**Output order:** `stages`, `variables`, `default`, `workflow`, template jobs
+(`.name`, alphabetical), then regular jobs (alphabetical). The `include:` key
+(consumed by resolution) and `extends:` keys (merged into each job) are
+stripped. All other fields are preserved verbatim.
+
+Accepts the same network flags as `glint check`: `--token`, `--gitlab-url`,

+a summary line is printed to stderr: `rendered: <file> (N job(s), M stage(s))`.

+- [x] **Path traversal guard for local includes** — shipped v0.2.31; `include: local:` paths containing `../../` or similar sequences are rejected instead of reading files outside the repository root
+- [x] **HTTP timeout on remote fetches** — shipped v0.2.31; all HTTP calls via the fetcher use a 30-second timeout to prevent indefinite hangs on slow or unresponsive servers
+- [x] **Unbounded response size cap** — shipped v0.2.31; remote include and GitLab API responses are capped at 10 MiB; responses exceeding the limit are rejected to prevent memory exhaustion
+- [x] **Cache file permissions** — shipped v0.2.31; cache directories are created with mode `0700` and cache files with mode `0600`; previously used world-readable `0755`/`0644`
+- [x] **GL045: HTTP remote include warning** — shipped v0.2.31; warns when `include: remote:` uses a plain `http://` URL; CI templates fetched unencrypted are at risk of tampering
+- [x] **LSP Content-Length DoS cap** — shipped v0.2.31; `glint lsp` rejects messages with `Content-Length` exceeding 64 MiB to prevent memory exhaustion from a malicious client

+
+The output file strips 'include:' (consumed by resolution) and 'extends:'

+Template jobs (names starting with '.') are retained.

+Usage: glint render [OPTIONS] <PIPELINE>
+
+Arguments:

+
+Options:
+      --output <FILE>
+          Write the rendered pipeline to FILE.
+          Use '-' to write to stdout.
+          [default: rendered.gitlab-ci.yml]
