Reliability & Core

  • Added "Max Wait" fallback (60s) to prevent debounce starvation on busy repos.
  • Hardcoded critical ignores (.git, node_modules, autopilot.log) to prevent infinite loops.

  • Added graceful fallback for push failures (logs warning instead of crashing).
  • Enforced "tracked only" commits using git status --porcelain.
• Test Mode:
  • Added AUTOPILOT_TEST_MODE=1 flag for deterministic CI testing (foreground run + auto-exit).

CI/CD & Standards

• GitHub Workflows:
  • ci.yml: Automated testing on Windows, Ubuntu, and macOS for every PR.
  • release.yml: Automated GitHub Releases with changelog generation and tarball assets.
  • publish.yml: Secure npm publishing via OIDC provenance.
• Repository Standards:
  • Added Issue Templates (Bug/Feature), PR Template, SECURITY.md, and CODEOWNERS.

Fixed

• Windows Paths: Fixed path normalization issues causing ignore rules to fail on Windows.
