## [Unreleased]

## [0.6.0] - 2025-11-19

### Added
- **RSS Feed Generation**: Standards-compliant RSS 2.0 feed for published notes

- ETag support for efficient feed updates
- Cache-Control headers for client-side caching
- RSS feed auto-discovery link in HTML templates
- RSS link in site navigation
- Comprehensive RSS feed test suite (44 tests)

### Configuration
- `FEED_MAX_ITEMS`: Maximum items in RSS feed (default: 50)
- `FEED_CACHE_SECONDS`: Server-side cache duration in seconds (default: 300)

### Features
- RSS 2.0 compliant XML generation using feedgen library
- RFC-822 date formatting for RSS pubDate elements
- Intelligent note title extraction (first line or timestamp fallback)
- HTML content in CDATA sections for feed readers
- Atom self-link for feed discovery
- Only published notes included in feed
- Absolute URLs for all feed item links

### Testing
- 88% overall test coverage (up from 87%)
- 96% coverage for feed module
- 449/450 tests passing (99.78% pass rate)
- Test isolation with automatic cache clearing
- Unicode and special character handling verified

### Standards Compliance
- RSS 2.0 specification compliant
- RFC-822 date format for timestamps
- IndieWeb feed discovery support
- W3C Feed Validator compatible

## [0.5.2] - 2025-11-18

### Fixed
- **Admin Routes**: Fixed delete route to return HTTP 404 when attempting to delete nonexistent notes, per ADR-012 (HTTP Error Handling Policy)
- Added existence check to delete route before attempting deletion, consistent with edit route pattern
- Fixed test for delete nonexistent note to match ADR-012 compliance (expect 404 status, not 200 with follow_redirects)

### Changed
- Delete route now checks note existence before deletion and returns 404 with "Note not found" flash message for nonexistent notes
- Test suite: 405/406 tests passing (99.75%)

## [0.5.1] - 2025-11-18

### Fixed
- **CRITICAL**: Fixed authentication redirect loop caused by cookie name collision between Flask's session and StarPunk's auth token
- Renamed authentication cookie from `session` to `starpunk_session` to avoid conflict with Flask's server-side session mechanism used by flash messages
- All authentication flows (dev login, IndieAuth, logout) now work correctly without redirect loops
- Flash messages now display properly without interfering with authentication state

### Changed
- **BREAKING CHANGE**: Authentication cookie renamed from `session` to `starpunk_session`
  - Existing authenticated users will be logged out and need to re-authenticate after upgrade
  - This is an unavoidable breaking change required to fix the critical bug

### Documentation
- Established cookie naming convention standard (starpunk_* prefix for all application cookies)
- Created implementation report documenting the root cause and fix

## [0.5.0] - 2025-11-19

### Added
- Development authentication module (`starpunk/dev_auth.py`) for local testing
- `is_dev_mode()` function to check development mode status
- `create_dev_session()` function for authentication bypass in development
- Web interface templates with Microformats2 markup
- Admin dashboard, note editor, and login pages
- Public note display and RSS feed support

### Fixed
- Phase 4 test suite now passing (400/406 tests, 98.5% pass rate)
- Template encoding issues (removed corrupted Unicode characters)
- Test database initialization using tmp_path fixtures
- Route URL patterns (trailing slash consistency)
- Template variable naming (g.user_me → g.me)
- Function name mismatches in tests (get_all_notes → list_notes)
- URL builder endpoint name (auth.login → auth.login_form)
- Session verification return type handling in tests
- Flake8 code quality issues (unused imports, f-strings)

### Security
- Development authentication includes prominent warning logging
- DEV_MODE validation ensures DEV_ADMIN_ME is set
- Production mode validation ensures ADMIN_ME is set

### Testing
- 87% overall test coverage
- All Phase 4 route and template tests functional
- Proper test isolation with temporary databases
- Fixed test context usage (test_request_context)

### Code Quality
- All code formatted with Black
- Passes Flake8 validation
- Removed unused imports and fixed f-string warnings

## [0.4.0] - 2025-11-18

### Added
- **Authentication module** (`starpunk/auth.py`) with IndieLogin support
- Core authentication functions: `initiate_login`, `handle_callback`, `create_session`, `verify_session`, `destroy_session`
- `require_auth` decorator for protecting admin routes
- Custom authentication exceptions (AuthError, InvalidStateError, UnauthorizedError, IndieLoginError)
- CSRF protection via state tokens
- Secure session management with SHA-256 token hashing
- Session metadata tracking (user agent, IP address)
- Automatic cleanup of expired sessions and state tokens
- URL validation utility function (`is_valid_url`)
- Comprehensive authentication test suite (37 tests, 96% coverage)

### Changed
- Updated sessions table schema to use `session_token_hash` instead of plaintext tokens
- Added `user_agent` and `ip_address` fields to sessions table
- Added `redirect_uri` field to auth_state table
- Added indexes for authentication performance (session_token_hash, me)

### Security
- Token hashing with SHA-256 for secure storage
- CSRF protection with single-use state tokens
- Cryptographically secure token generation (secrets module)
- SQL injection prevention with prepared statements
- Comprehensive security logging

## [0.3.0] - 2025-11-18

### Added
- Notes management module (`starpunk/notes.py`) with CRUD operations
- Custom exceptions for note operations (NoteError, NoteNotFoundError, InvalidNoteDataError, NoteSyncError)
- File and database synchronization with transaction safety
- Support for soft and hard note deletion
- Comprehensive test suite for notes module (85 tests, 86% coverage)
- Database schema support for soft deletes (deleted_at column)
- Slug uniqueness enforcement with random suffix generation
- Content hash calculation for integrity verification

### Changed
- Updated database schema to include `deleted_at` column in notes table
- Added index on `deleted_at` for query performance
