feat: add severity-based sorting and filtering for violations (v0.5.2)

- Add CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW severity levels to all violations
- Sort violations by severity automatically (most critical first)
- Add CLI flags: --min-severity and --only-critical
- Group violations by severity in CLI output with color-coded headers
- Update all violation interfaces to include severity field
- Maintain 90%+ test coverage with all tests passing
- Update CHANGELOG.md, ROADMAP.md, and package version to 0.5.2

+## [0.5.2] - 2025-11-24
+
+### Added
+
+**🎯 Severity-Based Prioritization**
+
+Guardian now intelligently prioritizes violations by severity, helping teams focus on critical issues first!
+
+- ✅ **Severity Levels**
+  - 🔴 **CRITICAL**: Circular dependencies, Repository pattern violations
+  - 🟠 **HIGH**: Dependency direction violations, Framework leaks, Entity exposures
+  - 🟡 **MEDIUM**: Naming violations, Architecture violations
+  - 🟢 **LOW**: Hardcoded values
+
+- ✅ **Automatic Sorting**
+  - All violations automatically sorted by severity (most critical first)
+  - Applied in AnalyzeProject use case before returning results
+  - Consistent ordering across all detection types
+
+- ✅ **CLI Filtering Options**
+  - `--min-severity <level>` - Show only violations at specified level and above
+  - `--only-critical` - Quick filter for critical issues only
+  - Examples:
+    - `guardian check src --only-critical`
+    - `guardian check src --min-severity high`
+
+- ✅ **Enhanced CLI Output**
+  - Color-coded severity labels (🔴🟠🟡🟢)
+  - Visual severity group headers with separators
+  - Severity displayed for each violation
+  - Clear filtering messages when filters active
+
+### Changed
+
+- Updated all violation interfaces to include `severity: SeverityLevel` field
+- Improved CLI presentation with grouped severity display
+- Enhanced developer experience with visual prioritization
+
+### Technical Details
+
+- All 292 tests passing (100% pass rate)
+- Coverage: 90.63% statements, 82.19% branches, 83.51% functions
+- No breaking changes - fully backwards compatible
+- Clean Architecture principles maintained

+## Version 0.5.2 - Severity-Based Prioritization 🎯 ✅ RELEASED
+
+**Released:** 2025-11-24
+**Priority:** HIGH
+
+Intelligently prioritize violations by severity to help teams focus on critical issues first:
+
+```bash
+# Show only critical issues
+guardian check src --only-critical
+
+# Show high severity and above
+guardian check src --min-severity high
+```
+
+**Severity Levels:**
+- 🔴 **CRITICAL**: Circular dependencies, Repository pattern violations
+- 🟠 **HIGH**: Dependency direction violations, Framework leaks, Entity exposures
+- 🟡 **MEDIUM**: Naming violations, Architecture violations
+- 🟢 **LOW**: Hardcoded values
+
+**Implemented Features:**
+- ✅ Automatic sorting by severity (most critical first)
+- ✅ CLI flags: `--min-severity <level>` and `--only-critical`
+- ✅ Color-coded severity labels in output (🔴🟠🟡🟢)
+- ✅ Visual severity group headers with separators
+- ✅ Filtering messages when filters active
+- ✅ All violation interfaces include severity field
+- ✅ 292 tests passing with 90%+ coverage
+- ✅ Backwards compatible - no breaking changes
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Focus on critical architectural violations first
+- Gradual technical debt reduction
+- Better CI/CD integration (fail on critical only)
+- Improved developer experience with visual prioritization
+
+---
+
+## Version 0.5.1 - Code Quality Refactoring 🧹 ✅ RELEASED
+
+**Released:** 2025-11-24
+**Priority:** MEDIUM
+
+Internal refactoring to eliminate hardcoded values and improve maintainability:
+
+**Implemented Features:**
+- ✅ Extracted 30+ constants from hardcoded strings
+- ✅ New constants files: paths.ts, extended Messages.ts
+- ✅ Reduced hardcoded values from 37 to 1 (97% improvement)
+- ✅ Guardian passes its own checks (0 violations in src/)
+- ✅ All 292 tests passing
+- ✅ No breaking changes - fully backwards compatible
