## [1.4.0] — 2026-08-09

Minor — resolvable request IDs, plus a dependency refresh.

### Added

- **`mw.RequestIDFrom(resolve func(*http.Request) string)`** — the resolver sees the request,
  so a service can continue a correlation ID a client already sent (a distributed trace survives
  this boundary). The framework provides plumbing only: it does not read a header, choose a header
  name, or validate the value — that policy is the application's, because a value the framework
  accepts on a service's behalf may be one that service cannot store. Generation becomes the
  fallback branch of resolution rather than a separate mode.

### Changed

- `mw.RequestID(generator func() string)` is unchanged in signature and behaviour (always
  generates, ignores inbound); it is now expressed as `RequestIDFrom` with a request-ignoring resolver.
- Refreshed dependencies (`go-chi/chi/v5` v5.3.1, `golang.org/x/time` v0.15.0).
- Bumped `contracts`, `core` to v1.4.0.

### Notes

- An empty resolver result attaches no ID (header omitted, context carries none) rather than a
  silently-empty value; a resolver that can return "" is a caller error.

## [1.3.0] — 2026-08-08

Minor release carrying a **breaking API change** to CORS configuration. The framework is
private with controlled consumers, so this ships in the 1.x line with a loud compile break
instead of a v2 module-path (`/v2`) migration.

### Removed

- **⚠️ BREAKING: `web.Config.AllowedOrigins` removed.** CORS origins now have a single
  home: `server.Config.CORSOrigins` (env `EINHERJAR_SERVER_CORS_ORIGINS`). The field was
  env-backed through v1.1.x and a code-only override in v1.2.0 — reading it after the env
  tag moved silently served *no* CORS. Removing it turns that runtime trap into a compile
  error.

  **Migration:** replace `cfg.Web.AllowedOrigins` with `cfg.Server.CORSOrigins`, and
  `web.Config{AllowedOrigins: o}` with `web.Config{Server: server.Config{CORSOrigins: o}}`
  — or just let `web.New` read `EINHERJAR_SERVER_CORS_ORIGINS`. The MCP flags any leftover
  reference (`validate_snippet` rule `web.allowedorigins-removed`).

### Changed

- Bumped `contracts`, `core` to v1.3.0.

## [1.2.0] — 2026-08-08

Minor — CORS configuration moved to its rightful struct; `web.New` made safe-by-default.

### Changed

- **`CORSOrigins` now lives on `server.Config`** (env var `EINHERJAR_SERVER_CORS_ORIGINS`), the
  struct its name advertises — it previously loaded into `web.Config`. `web.Config.AllowedOrigins`
  remains as a code-only override (no env tag). Wiring via `web.New` or the env var is unaffected.
- Bumped `contracts`, `core` to v1.2.0.

### Added

- `web.New` logs a warning when no CORS origins are configured, instead of silently disabling CORS.
- Package docs (`web`, `web/server`) document when to use `web.New` vs `server.New`, with compiling
  examples and the env-gated allow-all CORS convention.

## [1.1.3] — 2026-08-08

Patch — CORS documentation discoverability.

### Fixed

- `mw.CORS` and `CORSAllowAll` doc comments now document the `"*"` rejection (panic) and the
  env-gated CORS convention (`local -> CORSAllowAll`, else `mw.CORS(origins)`), so `search_symbols`
  surfaces it — previously the convention lived only in code comments and the wire example.

### Changed

- Bumped `contracts`, `core` to v1.1.3.

## [1.1.2] — 2026-08-08

Patch — CORS wildcard hardening plus documentation fixes.

### Changed

- **`mw.CORS` now rejects `"*"` (panics at construction)** instead of silently no-op'ing it.
  `"*"` matched nothing (exact-match only), so a service passing it ran with CORS effectively
  off — a silent trap. Fail loud at boot; use `mw.CORSAllowAll()` (development) or list explicit origins.
- Bumped `contracts`, `core` to v1.1.2.

### Fixed

- README Go examples now compile: `mw.Recover(logger)`, `health.NewHandler(...).ServeHTTP`, and the
  `mw.CORS` example no longer passes `"*"`. Corrected the `CORSAllowAll` description.

## [1.1.1] — 2026-08-07

Patch — coordinated framework version alignment.

### Changed

- Bumped `contracts` and `core` to v1.1.1 (framework version alignment). No code or API changes.

## [1.1.0] — 2026-08-07

Coordinated framework release. Documentation fixes plus the framework version bump
(which finally makes the previously-drafted `contracts` v1.1.0 pin real).

### Fixed

- **Package doc examples didn't compile.** Verified by compiling the example patterns
  against the real API:
  - `mw.Recover()` -> `mw.Recover(logger)` — the recover middleware takes a `logging.Logger`
    (`server`, `mw` package docs and `server.go`).
  - `health.NewHandler(logger, …)` -> `health.NewHandler(logger, …).ServeHTTP` — the handler
    returns `http.Handler`, but chi's `Get` takes `http.HandlerFunc`; same for
    `NewHandlerWithConfig` (`server`, `web`, `health` package docs).

### Changed

- Bumped `contracts` and `core` to v1.1.0 (framework version alignment).

## [1.0.0] — 2026-05-28

### Added

#### `server`

- `Server` interface — embeds `lifecycle.Component` (from `contracts/lifecycle`) and
  `chi.Router` (from `go-chi/chi/v5`); any type that satisfies both is directly
  compatible
- `Config` struct — `Host`, `Port`, `ReadTimeout`, `WriteTimeout`, `IdleTimeout`,
  `ShutdownTimeout`; all fields carry `env:"EINHERJAR_SERVER_*"` and `envDefault`
  tags (`caarlos0/env` syntax)
- `New(logger logging.Logger, cfg Config, opts ...Option) Server` — constructs the
  unexported `impl` struct; embeds `chi.NewRouter()`
- `Option` type + `WithMiddleware(mw ...func(http.Handler) http.Handler) Option` —
  variadic option for middleware composition
- `impl.OnInit()` — applies registered middleware via `chi.Use`
- `impl.OnStart()` — binds TCP listener synchronously (`net.Listen`), starts
  `http.Server.Serve` in a goroutine; port binding failure returns immediately
- `impl.OnStop(ctx)` — graceful `http.Server.Shutdown(ctx)` with `ShutdownTimeout`
  (fallback: `defaultShutdownTimeout = 10s`)
- `var _ Server = (*impl)(nil)` — compile-time assertion

#### `mw`

- `StatusRecorder` struct — wraps `http.ResponseWriter`, captures written status code
- `Recover() func(http.Handler) http.Handler` — catches panics, writes 500, logs
  stack trace via `runtime/debug.Stack()`
- `RequestID(generator func() string) func(http.Handler) http.Handler` — injects a
  request ID via `logz.WithRequestID`; reads existing `X-Request-ID` header if present
- `RequestLogger(logger logging.Logger) func(http.Handler) http.Handler` — structured
  request logging: method, path, status, latency; uses `StatusRecorder` to capture code
- `CORS(origins []string) func(http.Handler) http.Handler` — sets
  `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` for listed origins; supports preflight (`OPTIONS`)
- `CORSAllowAll() func(http.Handler) http.Handler` — allows any origin by reflecting the request `Origin` (no `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials`); development only
- `RateLimiterStore` interface — `Allow(ctx context.Context, key string) (bool, error)`;
  pluggable backend; `error` return allows infrastructure failures to surface; fail-open
  contract: non-nil error allows the request
- `InMemoryRateLimiterStore` struct — per-key token bucket via `golang.org/x/time/rate`;
  `sync.Map` for concurrent access; background goroutine evicts idle entries after 5
  minutes via `time.Ticker`; `Allow` always returns `(bool, nil)`
- `NewInMemoryRateLimiterStore(rps float64, burst int) *InMemoryRateLimiterStore`
- `IPRateLimit(store RateLimiterStore, logger logging.Logger) func(http.Handler) http.Handler`
  — limits by client IP (`X-Forwarded-For` → `RemoteAddr` fallback); returns 429 JSON
  on exceeded limit; fails open on store error
- `UserRateLimit(store RateLimiterStore, logger logging.Logger) func(http.Handler) http.Handler`
  — limits by authenticated user ID from `security.FromContext`; falls back to client IP
  when no identity present; same 429 + fail-open behaviour

#### `httputil`

- `HandlerFunc` type — `func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) error`; implements
  `http.Handler` via `ServeHTTP`
- `Handle[Req, Res any](v valid.Validator, fn func(ctx context.Context, req Req) (Res, error)) http.HandlerFunc`
  — decodes JSON body, validates struct, calls `fn`, encodes response; 400 on validation
  failure, mapped status on `*xerrors.Err`
- `HandleNoBody[Res any](fn func(ctx context.Context) (Res, error)) http.HandlerFunc`
  — no body decoding/validation; encodes response directly
- `HandleEmpty[Req any](v valid.Validator, fn func(ctx context.Context, req Req) error) http.HandlerFunc`
  — decodes and validates body, calls `fn`, returns 204 on success
- `JSON(w http.ResponseWriter, status int, v any)` — writes JSON response
- `NoContent(w http.ResponseWriter)` — writes 204 with no body
- `Error(w http.ResponseWriter, err error)` — maps `*xerrors.Err` to HTTP status and
  writes `{"code":"<wire_value>","message":"<msg>"}` JSON body; complete 16-code mapping

#### `health`

- `Config` struct — `CheckTimeout time.Duration` with
  `env:"EINHERJAR_HEALTH_CHECK_TIMEOUT" envDefault:"5s"` (`caarlos0/env` syntax)
- `Response` struct — `Status string`, `Components map[string]ComponentStatus`
- `ComponentStatus` struct — `Status`, `Latency` (omitempty), `Error` (omitempty)
- `NewHandler(logger logging.Logger, checks ...observability.Checkable) http.Handler`
  — shorthand with default 5s timeout
- `NewHandlerWithConfig(logger logging.Logger, cfg Config, checks ...observability.Checkable) http.Handler`
  — all checks run concurrently in goroutines with a shared context timeout; results
  collected via buffered channel; `DOWN` (critical priority) → 503; `DEGRADED`
  (degraded priority) → 200; `UP` → 200
- Accepts `observability.Checkable` from `contracts` directly — no local redefinition

#### Root package (`web`)

- `Config` struct — `Server server.Config`, `AllowedOrigins []string` with
  `env:"EINHERJAR_SERVER_CORS_ORIGINS" envSeparator:","`
- `New(logger logging.Logger, cfg ...Config) server.Server` — pre-wires recommended
  middleware stack: Recover → RequestID (UUID v7 with v4 fallback) → RequestLogger →
  CORS (only when `AllowedOrigins` non-empty)
- Unexported `newRequestID()` — uses `uuid.NewV7()` (time-ordered), falls back to
  `uuid.NewString()` (v4) on generation error

### Design Notes

1. **Progressive disclosure.** `web.New` is the happy path — one call, all middleware
   pre-wired, env vars respected. `server.New` is the escape hatch — every choice
   explicit. Both tiers share the same config structs, env variables, and lifecycle
   contract.

2. **`RateLimiterStore` interface.** The pluggable backend design lets developers start
   with `InMemoryRateLimiterStore` (zero extra dependencies) and swap to a distributed
   store (e.g., `cache-valkey`) at scale without touching middleware wiring. The store
   satisfies the interface via Go duck typing — `cache-valkey` never imports `web/mw`.

3. **Fail-open rate limiting.** When the store returns an error (e.g., Valkey
   unavailable), the request is allowed. Availability is preferred over hard
   enforcement during infrastructure degradation.

4. **`observability.Checkable` from contracts.** `health.NewHandler` accepts
   `observability.Checkable` directly from `contracts/observability`. Any starter
   (`db-*`, `cache-*`, `storage-*`) that implements the contracts interface plugs in
   without an adapter — no `web` import required by those starters.

5. **`last_seen` excluded.** Session tracking is an application-domain concern, not
   transport-level middleware. It requires knowing which entity to track and where to
   persist it. Developers who need it can write it in ~15 lines in their own wiring
   package. Will be revisited if `einherjar/worker` provides a fire-and-forget
   primitive.

6. **UUID v7 for request IDs.** Time-ordered UUIDs embed a millisecond-precision
   timestamp, enabling request IDs to sort chronologically in log aggregation systems.
   UUID v4 fallback ensures ID generation never fails.
