+## Development Workflow
+
+### Complete Feature Development & Release Workflow
+
+This workflow ensures high quality and consistency from feature implementation to package publication.
+
+#### Phase 1: Feature Planning & Implementation
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create feature branch (if needed)
+git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
+
+# 2. Implement feature following Clean Architecture
+# - Add to appropriate layer (domain/application/infrastructure/cli)
+# - Follow naming conventions
+# - Keep functions small and focused
+
+# 3. Update constants if adding CLI options
+# Edit: packages/guardian/src/cli/constants.ts
+```
+
+#### Phase 2: Quality Checks (Run After Implementation)
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to package
+cd packages/guardian
+
+# 1. Format code (REQUIRED - 4 spaces indentation)
+pnpm format
+
+# 2. Build to check compilation
+pnpm build
+
+# 3. Run linter (must pass with 0 errors, 0 warnings)
+cd ../.. && pnpm eslint "packages/**/*.ts" --fix
+
+# 4. Run tests (all must pass)
+pnpm test:run
+
+# 5. Check coverage (must be ≥80%)
+pnpm test:coverage
+```
+
+**Quality Gates:**
+- ✅ Format: No changes after `pnpm format`
+- ✅ Build: TypeScript compiles without errors
+- ✅ Lint: 0 errors, 0 warnings
+- ✅ Tests: All tests pass (292/292)
+- ✅ Coverage: ≥80% on all metrics
+
+#### Phase 3: Documentation Updates

+
+# 2. Test new feature with different options
+node dist/cli/index.js check ./examples --only-critical
+node dist/cli/index.js check ./examples --min-severity high
+
+# 3. Verify output formatting and messages
+# - Check that all violations display correctly
+# - Verify severity labels and suggestions
+# - Test edge cases and error handling
+
+# 4. Run full quality check suite
+pnpm format && pnpm eslint "packages/**/*.ts" && pnpm build && pnpm test:run
+```
+
+#### Phase 5: Commit & Version
+
+```bash
+# 1. Stage changes
+git add .
+
+# 2. Commit with Conventional Commits format
+git commit -m "feat: add --limit option for output control"
+# or

 ## Important Notes

 - **Always run `pnpm format` before committing** to ensure 4-space indentation
 - **Fix ESLint warnings incrementally** - they indicate real type safety issues
- **Coverage is enforced** - maintain 80% coverage for all metrics when running `pnpm test:coverage`
+- **Coverage is enforced** - maintain 80% coverage for all metrics when running `pnpm test:coverage`
+- **Test CLI manually** - automated tests don't cover CLI output formatting
+- **Update documentation** - README.md and TODO.md should always reflect current state
+- **Follow Clean Architecture** - keep layers separate and dependencies flowing inward

+## 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 0.6.0 - Output Limit Control & ESLint Optimization 🎯 ✅ RELEASED
+
+**Released:** 2025-11-24
+**Priority:** MEDIUM
+
+Control output verbosity for large codebases and achieve perfect code quality:
+
+```bash
+# Limit detailed output for large codebases
+guardian check src --limit 10
+
+# Combine with severity filters
+guardian check src --only-critical --limit 5
+
+# Short form
+guardian check src -l 20
+```
+
+**Implemented Features:**
+- ✅ `--limit` option to control detailed violation output per category
+- ✅ Short form `-l <number>` for convenience
+- ✅ Works seamlessly with `--only-critical` and `--min-severity` filters
+- ✅ Warning message when violations exceed limit
+- ✅ Full statistics always displayed at the end
+- ✅ Severity display constants extracted (`SEVERITY_DISPLAY_LABELS`, `SEVERITY_SECTION_HEADERS`)
+- ✅ ESLint configuration optimized (reduced warnings from 129 to 0)
+- ✅ CLI-specific overrides for no-console, complexity, max-lines-per-function
+- ✅ Dead code removal (unused IBaseRepository interface)
+- ✅ Complete development workflow added to CLAUDE.md
+- ✅ 292 tests passing with 90.63% coverage
+- ✅ Guardian self-check: ✅ 0 issues found
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Better experience with large codebases
+- Faster CI/CD output
+- Improved CLI maintainability with constants
+- Perfect ESLint score (0 errors, 0 warnings)
+- Guardian now passes its own quality checks
+
+---
+
+## Version 0.5.1 - Code Quality Refactoring 🧹 ✅ RELEASED
