- ✅ **Added 13 new tests** for TypeScript type context filtering

## [0.7.3] - 2025-11-25

### Fixed

- 🐛 **False positive: repository importing its own aggregate:**
  - Added `isInternalBoundedContextImport()` method to detect internal imports
  - Imports like `../aggregates/Entity` from `repositories/Repo` are now allowed
  - This correctly allows `ICodeProjectRepository` to import `CodeProject` from the same bounded context
  - Cross-aggregate imports (with multiple `../..`) are still detected as violations

## [0.7.2] - 2025-11-25

### Fixed

- 🐛 **False positive: `errors` folder detected as aggregate:**
  - Added `errors` and `exceptions` to `DDD_FOLDER_NAMES` constants
  - Added to `nonAggregateFolderNames` — these folders are no longer detected as aggregates
  - Added to `allowedFolderNames` — imports from `errors`/`exceptions` folders are allowed across aggregates
  - Fixes issue where `domain/code-analysis/errors/` was incorrectly identified as a separate aggregate named "errors"

## [0.7.1] - 2025-11-25

### Fixed

  - Fixed regex pattern to support paths starting with `domain/` (without leading `/`)
  - Now correctly detects violations in projects scanned from parent directories

- 🐛 **Reduced false positives in Repository Pattern detection:**
  - Removed `findAll`, `exists`, `count` from ORM technical methods blacklist
  - These are now correctly recognized as valid domain method names
  - Added `exists`, `count`, `countBy[A-Z]` to domain method patterns

- 🐛 **Non-aggregate folder exclusions:**
  - Added exclusions for standard DDD folders: `constants`, `shared`, `factories`, `ports`, `interfaces`
  - Prevents false positives when domain layer has shared utilities

### Changed

- ♻️ **Extracted magic strings to constants:**
  - DDD folder names (`entities`, `aggregates`, `value-objects`, etc.) moved to `DDD_FOLDER_NAMES`

### Added

**🎯 Smart Context-Aware Suggestions for Repository Method Names**

Guardian now provides intelligent, context-specific suggestions when it detects non-domain method names in repositories.

- ✅ **Intelligent method name analysis:**
  - `queryUsers()` → Suggests: `search`, `findBy[Property]`
  - `selectById()` → Suggests: `findBy[Property]`, `get[Entity]`
  - `insertUser()` → Suggests: `create`, `add[Entity]`, `store[Entity]`
  - `updateRecord()` → Suggests: `update`, `modify[Entity]`
  - `upsertUser()` → Suggests: `save`, `store[Entity]`
  - `removeUser()` → Suggests: `delete`, `removeBy[Property]`
  - `fetchUserData()` → Suggests: `findBy[Property]`, `get[Entity]`
  - And more technical patterns detected automatically!

- 🎯 **Impact:**
  - Developers get actionable, relevant suggestions instead of generic examples
  - Faster refactoring with specific naming alternatives
  - Better learning experience for developers new to DDD

### Fixed

- ✅ **Expanded domain method patterns support:**
  - `find*()` methods - e.g., `findNodes()`, `findNodeById()`, `findSimilar()`

  - `deleteAll()` - clear all entities
  - `add*()` methods - e.g., `addRelationship()`, `addItem()`
  - `initializeCollection()` - collection initialization

- 🐛 **Removed `findAll` from technical methods blacklist:**
  - `findAll()` is now correctly recognized as a standard domain method
  - Reduced false positives for repositories using this common pattern

### Technical

- Enhanced `domainMethodPatterns` with 9 additional patterns
- All 333 tests passing

## [0.6.3] - 2025-11-24

### Fixed

**🐛 Repository Pattern Detection - Reduced False Positives**

Fixed overly strict repository method name validation that was flagging valid DDD patterns as violations.

- ✅ **Added support for common DDD repository patterns:**
  - `has*()` methods - e.g., `hasProject()`, `hasPermission()`
  - `is*()` methods - e.g., `isCached()`, `isActive()`
  - `exists*()` methods - e.g., `existsById()`, `existsByEmail()`
  - `clear*()` methods - e.g., `clearCache()`, `clearAll()`
  - `store*()` methods - e.g., `storeMetadata()`, `storeFile()`
