• Alphabetically sorted commands in help output with grouped panels for better organization

• Compose Schema 1.2: Dedicated volume section for storage configuration (replaces swarm_volume_* variables)
• Compose Schema 1.2: resources section for CPU and memory limits

Changed

• Schema is now managed in JSON for better standardization and clarity (#1555)
• Compose Schema 1.2: Removed traefik_entrypoint and traefik_tls_entrypoint variables
• Removed Jinja2 | default() filter extraction and merging (#1410) - All defaults must now be defined in template/module specs
• Refactored code quality (#1364) for all core modules from single files to package structure with specific submodules
• Improved debug logging to capture module discovery and registration during initialization
• Enhanced debug logging for better troubleshooting
• Simplified dry-run output to show only essential information (files, sizes, status)
• Traefik template now uses module spec variable authentik_traefik_middleware instead of template-specific traefik_authentik_middleware_name
• validate command now accepts template ID as positional argument (e.g., compose validate netbox) - Consistent with archetypes command pattern
• Sections can't be required anymore, only variables can be required - Simplifies logic and improves usability
• Variables are now optional by default - only explicitly marked required: true variables are required, display shows (*) indicator instead of (required)

Deprecated

• Positional directory argument for generate command (#1534) - Use --output/-o flag instead (will be removed in v0.2.0)

Fixed

• CLI --var flag now properly converts boolean and numeric strings to appropriate Python types (#1522)
