* ``check_docs_style.sh`` โ Style compliance checking
* ``check_documentation_quality.py`` โ Quality analysis
* ``doc_maintenance_commands.sh`` โ Build and utility functions
- **Multiple Operation Modes**:
* ``--mode style``: Quick style compliance check (~10s, for pre-commit hooks)
* ``--mode quality``: Comprehensive quality analysis (version refs, redundancy, cross-refs)
* ``--mode build``: Build and verify Sphinx documentation
* ``--mode full``: Complete maintenance suite (all checks + build)
- **Enhanced Features**:
* Centralized logging to ``.logs/`` directory
* Multiple output modes (``--quiet``, ``--verbose``)
* Browser auto-open option (``--build --open``)
* Comprehensive error handling and reporting
* Type hints and PEP 8 compliance
* Sphinx-compatible docstrings
- **Exit Codes**:
* 0: All checks passed

Version 0.8.6 (October 29, 2025)
--------------------------------
**Phase 1: Core Version Automation - COMPLETE** ๐
This release implements a comprehensive automatic versioning system that updates the version
after every commit with no manual intervention required.
Version Management Enhancements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
โ
**Enhanced Version Module** (``__version__.py``):
- **Added Version Tuple**: Introduced ``__version_info__`` tuple for programmatic version comparisons
- **Dual Format Support**: Maintains both string (``"0.8.6"``) and tuple (``(0, 8, 6)``) formats
- **PEP 396 Compliance**: Follows Python best practices for version attributes
- **Benefit**: Enables version comparisons like ``if __version_info__ >= (1, 0, 0)``
๐ง **Enhanced Version Bumping** (``.git/hooks/bump-version``):
- **Dual Update System**: Automatically maintains both ``__version__`` string and ``__version_info__`` tuple
- **Python Import Validation**: Tests version import after each update to catch errors immediately
- **Tuple Consistency Check**: Validates that tuple matches the string version
- **Centralized Logging**: Records all version bumps to ``.logs/version_updates.log`` with timestamps
- **Cross-Platform Support**: Works seamlessly on macOS and Linux
- **Conventional Commits**: Auto-detects bump type from commit messages:
* ``feat:`` โ Minor bump (0.8.5 โ 0.9.0)
* ``fix:`` โ Patch bump (0.8.5 โ 0.8.6)
* ``feat!:`` or ``BREAKING CHANGE:`` โ Major bump (0.8.5 โ 1.0.0)
- **Benefit**: Robust, automatic version updates with complete audit trail
๐ **Centralized Logging** (``scripts/utils/check_documentation_quality.py``):
- **Log Location Fix**: Moved log file from ``docs/sphinx/`` to ``.logs/`` directory
- **Auto-Directory Creation**: Creates ``.logs/`` directory if it doesn't exist
- **Consistent Location**: All project logs now in centralized ``.logs/`` folder
- **Benefit**: Cleaner project structure and easier log management

.. versionadded:: 0.8.4
Integrated logging system and improved code consistency across all Python modules.
Code Quality Improvements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
๐ง **Documentation Quality Checker Enhancements** (``scripts/utils/check_documentation_quality.py``):
- **Logging Integration**:
* Added comprehensive file-based logging to ``.logs/quality_check.log``
* Logs all operations, issues detected, and final results
* Resolved circular import issues by using standard ``logging`` library directly

- **VS Code integration**: Commit from GUI, version bumps automatically via ``post-commit`` hook
- **CLI support**: ``smart-commit`` script for manual version control with preview
- **Makefile targets**: ``bump-patch``, ``bump-minor``, ``bump-major`` for direct version bumps
**Conventional Commits Support**:
- ``fix:`` โ Patch bump (0.2.0 โ 0.2.1)
- ``feat:`` โ Minor bump (0.2.0 โ 0.3.0)
- ``feat!:`` or ``BREAKING CHANGE:`` โ Major bump (0.2.0 โ 1.0.0)
- Automatic detection and parsing of commit messages
- Skips version bump for merges, rebases, and non-conventional commits
**Version Management Tools**:
- ``.git/hooks/bump-version``: Portable version bumping script (patch/minor/major/auto)
- ``.git/hooks/post-commit``: Automatic version bump on commit (amends commit with version change)
- ``smart-commit``: Interactive commit with version preview
- ``make commit MSG="..."``: Makefile target for smart commits
**Removed Legacy Scripts**:
- Deleted ``scripts/bump_version.py`` (replaced by git hooks)
- Deleted ``scripts/utils/version_bump.py`` (replaced by git hooks)
- Deleted ``scripts/manual_version_bump.sh`` (replaced by Makefile/hooks)
- Cleaned up all references to old version management utilities
**Documentation Updates**:

- Cross-platform: Works on macOS, Linux, Windows (Git Bash)
- Error handling: Robust checks for rebase/merge states
- Performance: Minimal overhead (<100ms per commit)
**Usage Examples**:
.. code-block:: bash
# Option 1: VS Code (recommended for most users)
# Just commit normally - version bumps automatically!
git add .
git commit -m "feat: add new feature" # โ Auto-bumps to 0.3.0
# Option 2: CLI with preview (smart-commit)
./scripts/utils/smart-commit "feat: add new feature" # Shows version before commit
# Option 3: Manual version bump
make bump-minor # Bump minor version
git commit -m "chore: bump version"
**Developer Impact**:

Version 0.0.3 (2025-10-14) - Configuration Module Enhancement
--------------------------------------------------------------
**Enhancement**: Major improvements to ``config.py`` for robustness, correctness, and maintainability
Code Quality Improvements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
โจ **Bug Fixes**:
- Fixed potential IndexError when no dataset folders exist
- Fixed suffix removal logic to use longest matching suffix (prevents incorrect normalization)
- Fixed REPL compatibility issue with ``__file__`` undefined scenarios
- Removed redundant and incorrect ``'..' not in f`` path validation check
โจ **Robustness Enhancements**:
- Added explicit ``None`` check before accessing list elements
- Improved suffix removal: now correctly handles overlapping suffixes (e.g., ``_csv_files`` vs ``_files``)
- Added fallback to ``os.getcwd()`` when ``__file__`` is not available (REPL, frozen executables)
- Enhanced error handling in ``validate_config()`` with try-except blocks
โจ **Code Organization**:
- Added ``__version__ = '1.0.0'`` module metadata
- Added ``__all__`` to explicitly define public API (12 exports)
- Extracted magic strings to constants (``DEFAULT_DATASET_NAME``, ``DATASET_SUFFIXES``)
- Created ``normalize_dataset_name()`` helper function to eliminate code duplication
- Added ``ensure_directories()`` utility function for directory creation
- Added ``validate_config()`` utility function for configuration validation
โจ **Type Safety**:
- Complete type hints for all functions
- Used ``List[str]`` from ``typing`` for Python 3.7+ compatibility (instead of ``list[str]``)
- Added ``Optional[str]`` for nullable return values
- Added ``-> None`` explicit return type annotations
โจ **Documentation**:
- Enhanced module docstring with Sphinx-style formatting
- Added detailed function docstrings with Args, Returns, and Notes sections
- Added inline comments explaining complex logic
- Documented suffix removal algorithm and edge cases
**New Features**:
- ``ensure_directories()`` - Automatically creates required directories
- ``validate_config()`` - Returns list of configuration warnings
- ``DEFAULT_DATASET_NAME`` - Public constant for default dataset name
- ``normalize_dataset_name()`` - Public function for dataset name normalization
**Breaking Changes**:
- None - All changes are backward compatible
**Migration Guide**:
- Existing code requires no changes
- New utility functions available: ``ensure_directories()``, ``validate_config()``
- Constants like ``DEFAULT_DATASET_NAME`` now accessible from module
**Testing Recommendations**:
- Test with empty dataset directories
- Test with folders containing overlapping suffixes (e.g., ``test_csv_files_files``)
- Test in REPL environment
- Test configuration validation with missing directories
