Release Notes

Command: apply

Changed

Require --merge for cross-overlay JSON merges

JSON conflicts between overlays now fail by default like other cross-overlay conflicts. Pass --merge to opt into deep merging, and repoverlay rejects symlinked merge targets instead of following them.

Command: restore

Fixed

Return a restore failure when any overlay fails

repoverlay restore still attempts every saved overlay, but now summarizes successes and failures and exits non-zero if recovery was incomplete.

Command: source

Breaking

Reject unsupported source URL schemes at parse time

BREAKING: Source configuration now accepts documented local path syntax plus https://, ssh://, git@, GitHub shorthand, and bare owner references. Unsupported schemes such as file://, ftp://, and http:// fail immediately.

Command: status

Changed

Version the status JSON output schema

repoverlay status --json now includes schema_version: 1 and serializes through explicit stable DTOs instead of internal state types.

Breaking

Remove deprecated hidden CLI compatibility syntax

BREAKING: Remove create-local, list, edit --add/--remove/--interactive, and cache clear. Use create --output, browse, edit add/remove, plain edit, and cache remove --all instead.

Security

Harden repo-contained file operations for 1.0

Validate managed paths consistently, reject symlink-ancestor escapes, and use atomic writes for persistent outputs including config, git exclude files, state markers, and merged JSON.
