- CLI tool (kaizen-agentic) with full command interface
- Agent registry, installer, and project initialization functionality
- Project templates system and agent categorization
- Makefile target reorganization with consistent naming
- All flake8 fixes and test reliability improvements
- New documentation guides (GETTING_STARTED, AGENT_DISTRIBUTION, CLI_CHEAT_SHEET)

PROPER CATEGORIZATION:
- Added: 15+ major new features and capabilities
- Changed: 6 significant improvements and reorganizations
- Fixed: 7 critical bug fixes and compliance issues

SEMANTIC VERSIONING ALIGNMENT:
- Documents transformation from basic framework to production-ready distribution system
- Represents major version bump significance (toward 1.0.0)
- Follows Keep a Changelog format with user-focused descriptions

The changelog now accurately reflects the massive evolution of this project
