Notes & Quick Ideas

Quick notes, small bugs, and ideas that don't warrant their own issue yet.

Ideas

• Subtree health check: script that verifies all consuming projects are on the latest version
• update-common.sh --all: update all known consuming projects in one command
• Changelog auto-generation from git log between subtree versions
• Hook configuration file (.repokit-hooks.yml) to enable/disable specific checks per-project

Quick bugs / observations

• Template leftovers: projects created from git-repokit-template inherit .github/, .repokit.json, CONTRIBUTING.md, LICENSE, .gitignore into scripts/ -- these are noise when consumed as subtree
• PHASE = None vs PHASE = "" inconsistency across projects (dazzlecmd uses None, template generates "")

Notes from recent work

• sync-versions.py --check was failing on new repos because CHANGELOG compare links reference tags that don't exist yet (fixed in v0.1.4-alpha / v0.2.2)
• Demo tools (build_demo.py, demo_render.py) moved to demo/ subdirectory -- required path fix (parent.parent -> parent.parent.parent)
• CI/release workflows removed -- this repo isn't pip-installable, those always failed
