# Session 2025-11-05

- Topic: CLI option redesign for newer
  - Decision: Proceed to replace `--newest/--oldest` with unified `--number` and `--reverse` options.
  - Rationale: Aligns CLI behavior with new naming and reduces redundant flags while preserving default newest-first selection.
- Topic: CLI option redesign for newer
  - Decision: Updated parser logic and documentation to rely on `--number` plus optional `--reverse`, keeping other flags unchanged.
  - Rationale: Ensures consistent UX and help messaging while matching the requested behavior change.
- Topic: Command rename
  - Decision: Change the installed console script name from `latest` to `newer` and refresh docs to match.
  - Rationale: Aligns CLI invocation with the new product name while leaving internal module structure untouched for now.
- Topic: Package rename
  - Decision: Rename the Python package/module directory from `latest` to `newer`, including file/module identifiers.
  - Rationale: Keeps distribution naming consistent end-to-end after the CLI command rename.
- Topic: Version bump
  - Decision: Increase package version to 0.3.0 to reflect renaming and CLI changes.
  - Rationale: Communicates a non-trivial change to consumers and avoids confusion with prior `latest` releases.
- Topic: PyPI metadata
  - Decision: Add missing project metadata (description, keywords, repository URLs) required for publishing to PyPI under the new name.
  - Rationale: Ensures the renamed package can be uploaded without manual edits post-release.
- 00:20 Ran: `cat pyproject.toml`
  Output:
  ```text
  [project]
  name = "newer"
  description = "Select files by modification time with kind filtering and flexible ordering."
  ...
  ```
  Result: Confirmed PyPI-facing metadata now includes description, keywords, license file, and URLs.
- 00:25 Ran: `sed -n '1,40p' pyproject.toml`
  Output:
  ```text
  [project.urls]
  Homepage = "https://github.com/tos-kamiya/newer"
  ```
  Result: Switched to a standard table to satisfy PyPI tooling TOML parser.
- 00:05 Ran: `python3 - <<'PY' ...` (stubbed `magic` import, invoked `parse_argv()` with `--help`)
  Output:
  ```text
  usage: newer [-h] [-n N] [-r] [-k KIND] [-q] [-0] [--version] file [file ...]
  ```
  Result: Captured updated help text without installing `python-magic`.
- 00:10 Ran: `python3 - <<'PY' ...` (stubbed `magic` again, imported `src.newer.newer`)
  Output:
  ```text
  usage: newer [-h] [-n N] [-r] [-k KIND] [-q] [-0] [--version] file [file ...]
  ```
  Result: Confirmed help output still correct after package rename.
- 00:15 Ran: `python3 - <<'PY' ... --version` (stubbed `magic`)
  Output:
  ```text
  newer 0.3.0
  ```
  Result: Verified version bump surfaced in CLI.
- Topic: Pending dependency fix review
  - Decision: Include the relocated `python-magic` dependency entry under `[project]` before cutting the release.
  - Rationale: Keeps the metadata valid for PyPI uploads and avoids mis-parsed TOML tables.
- Topic: Expanded CLI script staging
  - Decision: Commit the standalone `expanded_path_handling.py` helper alongside metadata updates.
  - Rationale: Preserves the richer CLI variant (slice-friendly selection plus MIME filters) for comparison before deciding on full integration.
- Topic: Package rename to newr
  - Decision: Rename the distribution, module package, and CLI entry point from `newer` to `newr`, updating docs and install guidance.
  - Rationale: Aligns package naming with the requested branding while keeping command usage consistent for end users.
- Topic: Version bump
  - Decision: Increment `__version__` to 0.4.0 to capture the naming change release.
  - Rationale: Signals the rename as a notable change for consumers and keeps changelog entries chronological.
- 00:45 Ran: `python3 - <<'PY' ...` (stubbed `magic`, imported `newr.newr`)
  Output:
  ```text
  usage: newr [-h] [-n N] [-r] [-k KIND] [-q] [-0] [--version] file [file ...]
  newr 0.4.0
  ```
  Result: Verified CLI help/version output works under the new package name.
- Topic: Build artifacts exclusion
  - Decision: Remove the `dist/` directory from version control and ignore future build outputs via `.gitignore`.
  - Rationale: Prevents publishing artifacts from polluting the repo and keeps release builds reproducible.
