v1.0.1

[v1.0.1] - 26.05.2025
Added

• Introduced guard system to monitor and enforce safe usage across the Interface lifecycle.

  • Includes PrintDog, a watchdog that throws on System.out.println() misuse.
    • Prevents raw terminal output from breaking Interface’s render structure.
    • Barks at offenders. Also probably sheds on your stacktrace.
    • May or may not accept belly rubs from compliant code.

• Refined View structure with two protected instance properties available to all View subclasses:

  1. terminal: handles layout metrics, printing, and responsive behavior.
     • Methods: terminal.print(), getWidth(), getHeight(), getCurrentRclCount(), fill().
  2. actions: a factory interface that wraps the core a_<name> action classes.
     • Provides stable, globally accessible method shortcuts like actions.nop(), redirect(), stop(), dd().
     • Designed for long-term stability, so it can be extended or used directly within any custom View.
     • Underlying logic stays modular—actions just makes it ✨nice✨.

• Added dump and die debug method (actions.dd()), Laravel-style.

  • Gives type-colored terminal output and halts execution.
  • Built-in squirrel-approved panic button.

Changed

• Refactored View to separate rendering from action dispatching.
• Improved internal render loop safety and predictability.
• View subclasses now rely on protected terminal and protected actions for layout and behavior access.

Fixed

• Removed old debug output in Interface leftover from early builds.
• Better RCL tracking and terminal width/height access during layout calculations.
• Smol bug fixes. Big yay.

Notes
This version introduces breaking changes due to the View architecture rewrite.
Dev-defined views now inherit terminal and actions as protected fields.

• terminal for layout and print logic.
• actions for calling or extending all internal actions.
  • Actual execution lives in a_<name> classes.
  • This layer abstracts the pain—like a squirrel hiding the sharp acorn bits.

PrintDog now enforces runtime safety and fuzzy terminal discipline.
Use terminal.print(), or be growled back to pre-alpha.

And always remember:
He’s the goodest boyo. Furry-coded. Runtime-approved.

v0.0.1

[v0.0.1] - 26.05.2025

Added

• Initial CLI micro-framework version released under structured versioning (v0.0.1) for consistent changelog tracking.
• Introduced modular View class to define CLI screens, each with its own name and action map.
• Introduced Action interface and core implementations:
  • a_redirect – programmatic view switch
  • a_nop – no-op placeholder
  • a_exit – exits the application
• CLI interface runs through the main Interface class, which launches a default view (v_select) using internal redirect logic.
• Default view selection is internally defined but not hardcoded — future versions will allow runtime customization.
• Render flow fully functional using internal view-action execution cycle.

Notes

• This version establishes the starting point for changelog tracking.
• Older development commits had no formal versioning; this version redefines the true origin.
• Bugs expected due to early development phase.
