tegwick 23521ad6ae docs: add optimization implementation progress tracker
Created comprehensive progress tracking document for optimization
implementation showing 2/9 optimizations complete (22%).

**Completed** (2 hours):
-  Optimization #1: Git status unpushed tags detection
-  Optimization #2: Automated tag pushing control

**Remaining** (11.5 hours):
-  #3: CHANGELOG validation (2 hours) - NEXT
-  #4: Version-tag consistency (1 hour) - NEXT
-  #5: CHANGELOG section generation (3 hours)
-  #6: Explicit version command (30 min)
-  #7: Release summary auto-generation (2 hours)
-  #8: Schema auto-ingestion (1 hour)
-  #9: Release notes from CHANGELOG (2 hours)

**Strategy**: Phased implementation
- Phase 1 (HIGH): 50% complete (2/4 done)
- Phase 2 (MEDIUM): Not started (0/3)
- Phase 3 (LOW): Not started (0/2)

**Next Session**: Implement optimizations #3-4 (3 hours)

Release Management Optimization

Created: 2026-01-06 Status: Planning → Ready to implement Priority: High (blocks v0.10.0 release)

Quick Summary

Enhance release management with robust validation using the schema system we just built. Creates a perfect showcase: validate CHANGELOG.md with a changelog schema.

Critical Issues Found

  1. setuptools-scm bug: Missing tag_regex → markitect --version returns "unknown"
  2. Missing v0.9.0 tag: CHANGELOG says v0.9.0 released but git tag never created
  3. No validation: No checks for CHANGELOG format or version-tag consistency

Solution

Create changelog-schema-v1.0.md to validate Keep a Changelog format, integrate into release workflow. Demonstrates schema evolution in action!

Staged Approach

  • Stage 1 (45 min): Critical fixes → unblock v0.10.0 release
  • Stage 2 (2.5 hrs): CHANGELOG schema → showcase feature
  • Stage 3 (2 hrs): Release tooling enhancements
  • Stage 4 (optional): Schema extensions (hooks/agents)

Recommended: Standard Track (Stages 1-3) = 5 hours for production-ready release management

Philosophy

"Use the tools we build to improve the tools we build."

Release v0.10.0 becomes: The release that validates itself 🎯
