Release v1.4.4: Phase 1 - Validation Pipeline Infrastructure Major Refactoring: ValidationPipeline Consolidation This release introduces a unified validation infrastructure that consolidates 1,326 lines of validation logic from 3 separate systems into a coordinated, extensible ValidationPipeline architecture. New Infrastructure: - ValidationPipeline orchestrator with 4 validation steps - Enforcement level control (off/info/warning/error) - Type, Security, Business, and Content validation steps - Extensible architecture for custom validation steps - 656 lines of new validation infrastructure Key Features: ✓ Single point of configuration for all validation ✓ Consistent error format across validation types ✓ Independently testable validation steps ✓ Prepared for v1.5.0 enforcement levels ✓ 100% backward compatible - zero breaking changes Test Coverage: ✓ 231 tests passing (211 original + 20 new) ✓ TypeScript compiles cleanly ✓ All existing APIs unchanged Benefits: - Foundation for enforcement levels (v1.5.0) - Easier to extend with custom validation - Consistent validation experience across tools - Clear separation of validation concerns Implementation Time: ~4 hours (within 4-5h estimate) Next: Phase 2 will integrate tools with the pipeline and extract common patterns to reduce code duplication. 🐝 Generated with Claude Code Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
