## [Unreleased]
## [0.16.0] - 2026-01-27
### Added
- **`:env` option** - Pass custom environment variables to the CLI subprocess ([aa2d3eb])
- Merge precedence: system env → user `:env` → SDK vars → `:api_key`
- Useful for MCP tools that need specific env vars or custom PATH configurations
- Aligns with Python SDK's environment handling
## [0.15.0] - 2026-01-26
### Added
- **Session history reading** - Read and parse conversation history from session files ([ad737ea])
- `ClaudeCode.conversation/2` - Read conversation (user/assistant messages) by session ID
- `ClaudeCode.History.list_projects/1` - List all projects with session history
- `ClaudeCode.History.list_sessions/2` - List all sessions for a project
- `ClaudeCode.History.read_session/2` - Read all raw entries from a session (low-level)
- **JSON encoding for all structs** - Implement `Jason.Encoder` and `JSON.Encoder` protocols ([a511d5c])
- All message types: SystemMessage, AssistantMessage, UserMessage, ResultMessage, PartialAssistantMessage, CompactBoundaryMessage
- All content blocks: TextBlock, ThinkingBlock, ToolUseBlock, ToolResultBlock
- Nil values are automatically excluded from encoded output
- **String.Chars for messages and content blocks** - Use `to_string/1` or string interpolation ([b3a9571])
- `TextBlock` - returns the text content
- `ThinkingBlock` - returns the thinking content
- `AssistantMessage` - concatenates all text blocks from the message
- `PartialAssistantMessage` - returns delta text (empty string for non-text deltas)
### Changed
- **Conversation message parsing refactored** - Extracted to dedicated module with improved error logging ([22c381c])
## [0.14.0] - 2026-01-15
### Added
- **`:session_id` option** - Specify a custom UUID as the session ID for conversations ([2f2c919])
- **`:disable_slash_commands` option** - Disable all skills/slash commands ([16f96b4])
- **`:no_session_persistence` option** - Disable session persistence so sessions are not saved to disk ([16f96b4])
- **New permission modes** - `:delegate`, `:dont_ask`, and `:plan` added to `:permission_mode` option ([16f96b4])

- **New system message fields** - `claude_code_version`, `agents`, `skills`, `plugins` for enhanced session metadata ([bed060b])
### Fixed
- **SystemMessage `slash_commands` and `output_style` parsing** - Fields were always empty/default ([bed060b])
- **ResultMessage `model_usage` parsing** - Per-model token counts and costs were always 0/nil ([bed060b])
## [0.13.3] - 2026-01-14
### Changed
- **`ResultMessage` optional fields use sensible defaults** - `model_usage` defaults to `%{}` and `permission_denials` defaults to `[]` instead of `nil` ([cda582b])
### Fixed
- **`ResultMessage.result` is now optional** - Error messages from the CLI may contain an `errors` array instead of a `result` field. The field no longer crashes when nil and displays errors appropriately ([c06e825])
## [0.13.2] - 2026-01-08
### Fixed
- **`ToolResultBlock` content parsing** - When CLI returns content as a list of text blocks, they are now parsed into `TextBlock` structs instead of raw maps ([5361e2d])
## [0.13.1] - 2026-01-07
### Changed
- **Simplified test stub naming** - Default stub name changed from `ClaudeCode.Session` to `ClaudeCode` ([2fd244f])
- Config: `adapter: {ClaudeCode.Test, ClaudeCode}` instead of `{ClaudeCode.Test, ClaudeCode.Session}`
- Stubs: `ClaudeCode.Test.stub(ClaudeCode, fn ...)` instead of `stub(ClaudeCode.Session, fn ...)`
- Custom names still supported for multiple stub behaviors in same test
### Added
- **`tool_result/2` accepts maps** - Maps are automatically JSON-encoded ([6d9fca6])
- Example: `ClaudeCode.Test.tool_result(%{status: "success", data: [1, 2, 3]})`
### Fixed
- **`tool_result` content format** - Content is now `[TextBlock.t()]` instead of plain string ([dfba539])
- Matches MCP `CallToolResult` format where content is an array of content blocks
- Fixes compatibility with code expecting `content: [%{"type" => "text", "text" => ...}]`
## [0.13.0] - 2026-01-07
### Added
- **`ClaudeCode.Test` module** - Req.Test-style test helpers for mocking Claude responses ([9f78103])
- `stub/2` - Register function or static message stubs for test isolation

- Message helpers: `text/2`, `tool_use/3`, `tool_result/2`, `thinking/2`, `result/2`, `system/1`
- Auto-generates system/result messages, links tool IDs, unifies session IDs
- Uses `NimbleOwnership` for process-based isolation with `async: true` support

## [0.12.0] - 2026-01-07
### Added
- **New stream helpers** for common use cases ([0775bd4])
- `final_text/1` - Returns only the final result text, simplest way to get Claude's answer
- `collect/1` - Returns structured summary with text, thinking, tool_calls, and result
- `tap/2` - Side-effect function for logging/monitoring without filtering the stream
- `on_tool_use/2` - Callback invoked for each tool use, useful for progress indicators
### Changed
- **`collect/1` returns `tool_calls` instead of `tool_uses`** ([7eebfeb])
- Now returns `{tool_use, tool_result}` tuples pairing each tool invocation with its result
- If a tool use has no matching result, the result will be `nil`
- Migration: Change `summary.tool_uses` to `summary.tool_calls` and update iteration to handle tuples
### Removed
- **`buffered_text/1` stream helper** - Use `final_text/1` or `collect/1` instead ([4a1ee97])
## [0.11.0] - 2026-01-07
### Changed
- **Renamed `StreamEventMessage` to `PartialAssistantMessage`** - Aligns with TypeScript SDK naming (`SDKPartialAssistantMessage`)
- `ClaudeCode.Message.StreamEventMessage` → `ClaudeCode.Message.PartialAssistantMessage`
- The struct still uses `type: :stream_event` to match the wire format
- Helper function renamed: `stream_event?/1` → `partial_assistant_message?/1`
### Added
- **`:fork_session` option** - Create a new session ID when resuming a conversation
- Use with `:resume` to branch a conversation: `start_link(resume: session_id, fork_session: true)`
- Original session continues unchanged, fork gets its own session ID after first query
## [0.9.0] - 2026-01-06
### Changed
- **BREAKING: Simplified public API** - Renamed and reorganized query functions ([e7ca31a])
- `query_stream/3` → `stream/3` - Primary API for session-based streaming queries
- `query/3` (session-based sync) → Removed - Use `stream/3` instead
- `query/2` (new) - One-off convenience function with auto session management
- Migration: Replace `ClaudeCode.query(session, prompt)` with `ClaudeCode.stream(session, prompt) |> Enum.to_list()`
- Migration: Replace `ClaudeCode.query_stream(session, prompt)` with `ClaudeCode.stream(session, prompt)`
### Added
- **Concurrent request queuing** - Multiple concurrent streams on same session are now properly queued and executed sequentially ([e7ca31a])
### Fixed
- **Named process handling** - Stream cleanup now properly handles named processes (atoms, `:via`, `:global` tuples) ([e7ca31a])
## [0.8.1] - 2026-01-06
### Fixed
- **Process cleanup on stop** - Claude subprocess now properly terminates when calling `ClaudeCode.stop/1` ([a560ff1])
## [0.8.0] - 2026-01-06
### Changed

- `ClaudeCode.Message.Result` → `ClaudeCode.Message.ResultMessage`
- `ClaudeCode.Message.StreamEvent` → `ClaudeCode.Message.PartialAssistantMessage`
- New `ClaudeCode.Message.SystemMessage` and `ClaudeCode.Message.CompactBoundaryMessage` message types
- **BREAKING: Renamed content block modules** - Added "Block" suffix for consistency
- `ClaudeCode.Content.Text` → `ClaudeCode.Content.TextBlock`
- `ClaudeCode.Content.ToolUse` → `ClaudeCode.Content.ToolUseBlock`
- `ClaudeCode.Content.ToolResult` → `ClaudeCode.Content.ToolResultBlock`
- `ClaudeCode.Content.Thinking` → `ClaudeCode.Content.ThinkingBlock`
### Added
- **New system message fields** - Support for additional Claude Code features
- `:output_style` - Claude's configured output style
- `:slash_commands` - Available slash commands
- `:uuid` - Session UUID
- **Extended message type fields** - Better access to API response metadata

- `ResultMessage`: `:session_id`, `:duration_ms`, `:usage`, `:parent_message_id`, `:sequence_id`
- `UserMessage`: `:priority`, `:sequence_id`, `:finalize_stack`
### Fixed
- **`:mcp_servers` option validation** - Fixed handling of MCP server configurations ([0c7e849])
## [0.7.0] - 2026-01-02
### Added
- **`:strict_mcp_config` option** - Control MCP server loading behavior ([a095516])
- When `true`, ignores global MCP server configurations
- Useful for disabling all MCP tools: `tools: [], strict_mcp_config: true`
- Or using only built-in tools: `tools: :default, strict_mcp_config: true`
### Changed
- **BREAKING: `ClaudeCode.query` now returns full `%Result{}` struct** instead of just text
- Before: `{:ok, "response text"}` or `{:error, {:claude_error, "message"}}`
- After: `{:ok, %ClaudeCode.Message.Result{result: "response text", ...}}` or `{:error, %ClaudeCode.Message.Result{is_error: true, ...}}`
- Provides access to metadata: `session_id`, `is_error`, `subtype`, `duration_ms`, `usage`, etc.
- Migration: Change `{:ok, text}` to `{:ok, result}` and use `result.result` to access the response text
- `Result` implements `String.Chars`, so `IO.puts(result)` prints just the text
### Removed
- **`:input_format` option** - No longer exposed in public API ([c7ebab2])
