What's New in v0.1.15

🔧 Improvements

• Enhanced confirmation dialogs - Now clearly shows "Enter: Confirm | Esc: Cancel" instructions
• Better delete flow - Deletion command waits for completion before removing from UI to prevent false positives
• Charts synchronization - Charts now only display artifacts in the current artifacts list for accurate analysis
• Build system upgrade - Replaced Makefile with Justfile for pure Rust-based task management

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed delete artifact race condition - Artifacts could appear deleted while still on disk; now waits for actual deletion confirmation
• Fixed UI clipping from sudo - Suppressed sudo output to prevent "sudo: authenticate] password" messages from corrupting TUI display
• Removed all print statements - Eliminated eprintln/println calls that could corrupt TUI rendering in interactive mode
• Fixed Clear All dialog appearing unexpectedly - Global Shift+D shortcut now only triggers when no popups are open
• Fixed password prompt blocking - Resolved synchronous deletion that was blocking the event loop when using sudo with password

📚 Documentation

• Updated README with just command examples instead of make
• CHANGELOG updated with comprehensive fix list

What's New in v0.1.13

🛡️ Enhanced Safety Features

Automatic Retention-Based Cleanup

• Artifacts older than your retention_days setting are now automatically cleaned up
• Asynchronous cleanup runs after each scan when enabled
• Three-layer safety protection:
  1. Only deletes paths tracked in database (artifact_path column)
  2. Only matches build directory whitelist (target/, node_modules/, pycache, etc.)
  3. Only deletes if older than retention_days AND automatic_removal is enabled

Confirmation Dialog for Automatic Removal

• Users must explicitly confirm before enabling automatic deletion
• Large yellow warning popup displays implications
• Requires users to review build directories before activation
• Easy abort with Escape key

🎨 UI/UX Improvements

Enhanced Popup Visibility

• All confirmation dialogs enlarged from 50x15 to 70x35 for better readability
• Yellow background for automatic removal warnings
• Red background for destructive operations (delete, clear all)
• Proper padding and spacing for improved visual hierarchy

Cleaner Footer

• Removed 'h: History' - never implemented, was confusing
• Removed '↑↓: Navigate' - navigation is implicit with arrow keys
• Footer now shows only active commands: Tab, s, d, x, r, e, l, Shift+D, q

Delete Action Popup

• Enlarged from 25x25 to 60x30
• Red background with clear warning styling
• Better distinction from other dialogs

Clear All Confirmation

• Prominent red warning dialog (70x35)
• Enhanced message emphasizing permanent nature: "CLEAR ALL BUILDS - PERMANENT DELETION"
• Explicit confirmation required: (y: Confirm, n: Cancel)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Config file corruption - Tests no longer corrupt shared config.toml by using default /srv path
• CI test failures - Watcher test gracefully handles inotify limits in CI environments instead of panicking

Installation

Linux

```bash
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adolfousier/ratifact/main/src/scripts/linux/install.sh)
```

macOS

```bash
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adolfousier/ratifact/main/src/scripts/macos/install.sh)

```

Usage

Enable Automatic Removal:

1. Press 'e' to open Settings
2. Select "Automatic Removal"
3. Review warning popup - it shows what will be deleted
4. Press Enter to confirm or Escape to cancel

View Excluded Paths:

1. Press 'e' to open Settings
2. Select "Excluded Paths"
3. Use arrow keys to navigate
4. Press Enter to remove a path (triggers rescan)

Safety Notes

• Automatic removal only operates on artifact directories (target/, node_modules/, etc.)
• All deleted paths are tracked in the database before deletion
• The feature respects your scan paths configuration
• Always review your build directories before enabling automatic removal
