## [0.0.2] - 2025-06-09

### Fixed
- **Documentation Rendering**: Fixed mermaid diagram rendering errors on hex docs by removing emoji characters from diagram labels
- **Package Links**: Removed redundant "Documentation" link in hex package configuration, keeping only "Online documentation"
- **Configuration References**: Updated TELEMETRY_IMPLEMENTATION.md to reference `:gemini_ex` instead of `:gemini` for correct application configuration

### Changed
- Improved hex docs compatibility for better rendering of documentation diagrams
- Enhanced documentation consistency across all markdown files

## [0.0.1] - 2025-06-09
