Changelog

All notable changes to CARL are documented in this file. The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and the CARL project follows Semantic Versioning for code packages. The CARL Standard itself is versioned independently — see spec governance for its lifecycle model.

[Unreleased]

Added

M1 Docs — the CARL Standard docs at carl.wentzel.ai/docs (originally shipped as an Astro 5 + Starlight site; since migrated into the carl.wentzel.ai Next.js app, deployed on Cloudflare Workers, with the CARL design tokens).

[0.1.0] — 2026-04-22

Initial monorepo scaffold committed. No runtime functionality; this release is scaffolding only.

Added

M0 Foundations — monorepo skeleton (pnpm workspaces + Turborepo, TypeScript strict config, ESLint 9 flat config, Prettier 3, husky + lint-staged).
M0 Governance — LICENSE (Apache 2.0), LICENSE-SPEC (CC BY 4.0), NOTICE, README, CONTRIBUTING (with DCO), CODE_OF_CONDUCT (Contributor Covenant 2.1), SECURITY, GOVERNANCE, TRADEMARK, CHANGELOG, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md.
M0 CI/CD — GitHub Actions workflows for CI (lint/typecheck/test/build/audit/secret-scan/banned-deps), release, docs-deploy (Cloudflare Pages), web-deploy (Vercel); Dependabot; CODEOWNERS; issue templates (bug, feature, standard change); PR template; gitleaks config; banned-deps scanner script.
M0 Prompts — three reference prompts (carl-scan, carl-review-team, carl-review-solo) at prompts/v1.0/, plus JSON Schemas for structured output.
M0 Spec — spec/v1.0/standard.md (First Draft), spec/v1.0/criteria-catalog.md (seed catalog), spec/drafts/ stub.
M0 Fixtures — L1–L5 example directory stubs.
M0 Tools — tools/template-audit/CARL-AUDIT.md (audit prompt for Wentzel.ai template repos).
M0 Design tokens — CARL-branded tokens at design-tokens/ (JSON + CSS) with light/dark pairs and prefers-reduced-motion awareness. To be superseded by sister Wentzel.ai token repo when available.

Project ownership — governance and release cadence.
Contributing — how to land a change in a future release.
Governance of the Standard — the spec's own versioning and lifecycle.
