## [0.108.0] - 2025-10-19 (BOOTSTRAP INSTALLER FIXES)

### 🚀 Bootstrap Installer & Distribution Improvements (2025-10-19)

#### Install Script Architecture (DRY Design)
- **Implemented Symlink-Based DRY Architecture**:
  - Single source of truth: `installers/bootstrap/install.sh` (1,247 lines)
  - Symlinks: `./install.sh` → `installers/bootstrap/install.sh`
  - Symlinks: `./scripts/templates/install.sh` → `installers/bootstrap/install.sh`
  - All changes propagate automatically through symlinks
  - No code duplication across installation paths

#### Archive Extraction Fixes (Critical)
- **Fixed Archive Binary Detection (Version-Agnostic)**:
  - Root cause: `find` command returning parent directory itself in results
  - Solution: Added `-not -path "$extract_dir"` to exclude starting directory
  - Now correctly detects `nushell-full-X.Y.Z/bin/nu` regardless of version
  - Works with any Nushell version: 0.107, 0.108, 0.109, etc.
  - Supports both `.tar.gz` and `.zip` archive formats

- **Improved Binary Location Detection**:
  - Step 1: Check for `$extracted/bin/nu` (subdirectory structure)
  - Step 2: Check for `$extracted/nu` (flat structure)
  - Step 3: Fallback search for any `nushell-*` subdirectory with `bin/nu`
  - Step 4: Last resort recursive search for any executable named `nu`
  - Validates binaries exist before using them

#### Plugin Registration Error Handling
- **Improved Plugin Registration with Version Mismatch Detection**:
  - Captures both stdout and stderr from plugin add commands
  - Detects version incompatibility errors: "is not compatible with version"
  - Distinguishes between:
    1. Successfully registered plugins
    2. Version mismatch errors (skipped gracefully)
    3. Other registration failures (reported with error details)
  - Reports summary of: registered, incompatible, and failed plugins
  - Installation continues successfully even with version mismatches

#### Shell Configuration PATH Update Messaging
- **Fixed Confusing PATH Update Messages**:
  - Root cause: Script conflated "PATH found" with "PATH needs updating"
  - Solution: Track two separate states:
    - `updated=true` → PATH was ADDED to files (new)
    - `path_found=true` → PATH already EXISTS in files (no change needed)
  - Now shows clear, non-contradictory messages:
    - ✅ "PATH is already configured..." (when found everywhere)
    - ✅ "Shell configuration updated" (when just added)
    - ⚠️ "Could not find..." (when file doesn't exist)

#### Installation Features
- **`--source-path` Option for Local Installation**:
  - Install from local archive: `--source-path archive.tar.gz`
  - Install from local directory: `--source-path /path/to/binaries`
  - Default behavior: `--source-path` alone uses `./bin_archives`
  - Works with both custom `--install-dir` and defaults

- **`--uninstall` with Configuration Management**:
  - Prompts user to remove configuration: "Remove ~/.config/nushell? [y/N]"
  - Removes all installed binaries and plugins
  - Clean uninstall before fresh reinstall
  - Preserves user choice (keep or remove config)

#### Documentation Updates
- **Updated CLAUDE.md** with:
  - Install Script Architecture (DRY Design) section
  - Source of truth location and symlink structure
  - `--source-path` feature documentation
  - Version-agnostic archive detection details
  - DRY architecture benefits

- **Updated README.md** with:
  - Install Script Architecture subsection in "Method 1: Full Distribution"
  - Symlink structure documentation
  - `--source-path` usage examples
  - Version-agnostic archive detection explanation
  - How DRY Works (3-step explanation)

#### Files Modified
- `installers/bootstrap/install.sh` - All fixes (1,247 lines, +3 lines)
- `./install.sh` - Auto-updated via symlink
- `./scripts/templates/install.sh` - Auto-updated via symlink
- `CLAUDE.md` - Added install script architecture documentation
- `README.md` - Added install script section

#### Testing & Verification
- ✅ Archive extraction works with version-agnostic detection
- ✅ Installation to `~/.local` successful (16 binaries)
- ✅ Installation to `~/.local/bin` successful (21 plugins loaded)
- ✅ Plugin registration handles version mismatches gracefully
- ✅ PATH messaging is clear and non-contradictory
- ✅ Clean uninstall followed by fresh reinstall works perfectly

#### Impact
- ✅ Users can install from any version of nushell-full archive
- ✅ Clear error messages if binaries not found in archive
- ✅ Version mismatch plugins skipped without breaking installation
- ✅ Non-confusing PATH update messages
- ✅ Single source of truth eliminates code duplication
- ✅ Installation process is production-ready

## [0.108.0] - 2025-10-19 (FINAL UPDATE)

### 🎯 Help System & Build Process Fixes (2025-10-19)

#### Help System Improvements
- **Added Version Update Module to Help System**:
  - Version-update module now discoverable via `just help modules`
  - Added to `just help` main output with key commands
  - Included in `just help-all` workflow
  - Full integration into help system navigation

#### New Help Commands
- **`just commands`**: New recipe showing all commands organized by group (alias for `just --list`)
  - Shows [version-update] group with all 30+ update recipes
  - Replaces need to manually run `just --list`

#### Build Process Fixes
- **Fixed Plugin Archive Creation Bug**:
  - Phase 3 "No plugins found" warning fixed
  - Root cause: `each` command returns null, breaking count logic
  - Solution: Separated plugin listing from copying with proper filtering
  - Filters out `.d` dependency files with `where type == "file"`
  - Now correctly reports "Collected 26 plugins"

- **Fixed Tar Archive Path Issues**:
  - Replaced unreliable `cd` + relative paths with `tar -C` + absolute paths
  - Uses `pwd` with `path join` for robust path construction
  - Improved error diagnostics showing tar exit codes and stderr
  - Now properly creates bin archives (plugins-only-0.108.0-darwin-arm64.tar.gz)

- **Fixed Size Calculation Error**:
  - Changed `(ls $archive_path).size` to `(ls $archive_path | get 0.size)`
  - `ls` returns list of records, not single record
  - Properly calculates archive file size in MB

#### Plugin Dependency Update Optimization
- **Fixed Unnecessary Plugin Rebuilds**:
  - Root cause: `update_all_plugins.nu` always touched all Cargo.toml files
  - Solution: Only save if content actually changed
  - Compares original vs updated TOML before writing
  - Preserves file timestamps for unchanged dependencies
  - Result: Only plugins with real changes trigger rebuilds (hashes, highlight)

#### Files Modified
- `justfiles/help.just` - Added version-update module to help system
- `scripts/create_full_distribution.nu` - Fixed plugin collection filtering (exclude .d files)
- `scripts/create_distribution_packages.nu` - Fixed get_plugin_components to look in correct directories
- `scripts/update_all_plugins.nu` - Optimized to avoid unnecessary file touches
- `CHANGELOG.md` - Documented all fixes

#### Archive Content & Structure Fixes (Critical Fix)
- **Fixed nushell-full archive missing plugins**:
  - Root cause: `get_plugin_components` looked in distribution directory (staging output)
  - Solution: Look in `nu_plugin_*/target/release/` (actual binaries)
  - Now includes: nushell binary + 20 plugin binaries + config + docs
  - Archive now: `nushell-full-0.108.0-darwin-arm64.tar.gz` (complete)

- **Fixed plugins-only archive including .d files**:
  - Root cause: `ls nu_plugin_*/target/release/nu_plugin_*` matched both binaries and `.d` metadata files
  - Solution: Added two filters:
    1. `where ($it.name | str ends-with ".d") == false` - exclude `.d` files
    2. `where ($it.name | regex match "nu_plugin_[a-z_]+$") != null` - only base names
  - Now includes: Only plugin binaries (no metadata files)
  - Archive now: `plugins-only-0.108.0-darwin-arm64.tar.gz` (clean)

- **Fixed archive internal structure**:
  - Changed: Directory names no longer include platform suffix
  - Before: Archive contains `nushell-full-0.108.0-darwin-arm64/` directory
  - After: Archive contains `nushell-full-0.108.0/` directory only
  - Archive filename still includes platform: `nushell-full-0.108.0-darwin-arm64.tar.gz`
  - Cleaner extraction: `tar xzf nushell-full-0.108.0-darwin-arm64.tar.gz` → creates `nushell-full-0.108.0/`

- **Removed CLAUDE.md from distribution**:
  - Docs now only include: README.md, LICENSE
  - CLAUDE.md is project-specific (not needed in distribution)
  - Reduces archive size and keeps distribution focused

#### Impact
- ✅ Version-update commands now fully discoverable
- ✅ Phase 3 bin archive creation works correctly
- ✅ nushell-full archive contains nu + all plugins
- ✅ plugins-only archive contains only executable binaries
- ✅ Efficient plugin rebuild (no false positives)
- ✅ Better error diagnostics in build process
