+## [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
+
+---
+
+## [0.5.1] - 2025-11-24
+
+### Changed
+
+**🧹 Code Quality Refactoring**
+
+Major internal refactoring to eliminate hardcoded values and improve maintainability - Guardian now fully passes its own quality checks!
+
+- ✅ **Extracted Constants**
+  - All RepositoryViolation messages moved to domain constants (Messages.ts)
+  - All framework leak template strings centralized
+  - All layer paths moved to infrastructure constants (paths.ts)
+  - All regex patterns extracted to IMPORT_PATTERNS constant
+  - 30+ new constants added for better maintainability
+
+- ✅ **New Constants Files**
+  - `src/infrastructure/constants/paths.ts` - Layer paths, CLI paths, import patterns
+  - Extended `src/domain/constants/Messages.ts` - 25+ repository pattern messages
+  - Extended `src/shared/constants/rules.ts` - Package placeholder constant
+
+- ✅ **Self-Validation Achievement**
+  - Reduced hardcoded values from 37 to 1 (97% improvement)
+  - Guardian now passes its own `src/` directory checks with 0 violations
+  - Only acceptable hardcode remaining: bin/guardian.js entry point path
+  - All 292 tests still passing (100% pass rate)
+
+- ✅ **Improved Code Organization**
+  - Better separation of concerns
+  - More maintainable codebase
+  - Easier to extend with new features
+  - Follows DRY principle throughout
+
+### Technical Details
+
+- No breaking changes - fully backwards compatible
+- All functionality preserved
+- Test suite: 292 tests passing
+- Coverage: 96.77% statements, 83.82% branches
