Changelog

Grouped by area for this first release, rather than a flat commit list. Future entries will be per-version as changes actually land between releases.

v0.1.0 — 2026-07-26

Core orchestration

Manifest-driven stack up/stack down: clone-if-missing, language activation, service start/reuse, dev-server spawn, domain routing — in that order.
Services dedup by engine@version — every project referencing the same database version shares the one running instance, isolated by schema.
[run].external — run your own dev server yourself, in your own terminal, exactly how you already would; stack only routes to it.
[service.*].external — adopt a database you already have running instead of colliding with it or starting a duplicate.
Detached process spawn that survives the launching terminal closing, with output captured to a per-process log file.

Caddy driven entirely over its HTTP admin API — no Caddyfile, no file writes, no reload signal. Started on demand, torn down with stack down --all.
stack status shows Caddy's own liveness and live route count.

Ambient per-prompt activation for PowerShell — cd into a project and its pinned languages are on PATH; leave, and it resets.
cmd.exe support via a regenerated stack-activate.bat, run manually after cd-ing (cmd has no per-prompt hook the way PowerShell does).
Automatic Composer function shadowing for PHP projects, so composer install uses the project's pinned PHP version even though Composer's own installer hardcodes one.
stack load-env — session-scoped .env loading; confirms which variable names loaded, never the values.
A small [stack] prompt indicator, on both shells, when a project is active.

[language.*] generalized beyond php/node/python — any vfox-plugin language, an explicit manager, or a fully BYO path.
stack new / stack add / stack remove — interactive scaffolding and format-preserving manifest edits that leave your comments and key order untouched.
stack register + stack list + stack prune — reuse a BYO service/tool path across every project, see everything installed in one place, and clean up what's no longer referenced (dry-run by default).
stack stats — continuously-refreshing CPU/memory view, docker stats-style.
stack doctor [--fix] — checks vfox/uv/Caddy and every registered path; --fix installs the three at pinned, tested versions. Also flags pre-existing Windows database services worth adopting instead of duplicating.
