## [0.5.0] - 2026-02-12

### "Marie Kondo" Release - Code Quality & Release Finalization

This release represents the completion of the v0.5.0 "Marie Kondo" code cleanup initiative, comprising four major phases:

#### Phase A: Linting & Version Fixes ✅
- Fixed version inconsistency: 0.4.2 → 0.5.0 in `src/venturalitica/__init__.py`
- Updated mkdocs version: v0.4.1 → v0.5.0 in `mkdocs.yml`
- Added comprehensive ruff linter configuration to `pyproject.toml`
  - Python 3.11 target
  - Line-length: 120
  - Rule sets: E (errors), F (pyflakes), I (import sorting)
- Fixed 24 linting issues across 8 test files:
  - E712: Explicit == True/False comparisons (4 occurrences)
  - E741: Ambiguous variable naming (1 occurrence)
  - F841: Unused variable assignments (16 occurrences)
  - E402: Import ordering (2 occurrences)
  - I001: Import sorting (auto-applied via ruff)
- Updated .gitignore to exclude build artifacts and test outputs

#### Phase B: Smoke Tests for Core API ✅
Created comprehensive smoke tests (`tests/test_smoke_core_api.py`) validating core vl.monitor() and vl.enforce() functionality:
- **vl.monitor() tests (4)**:
  - Session creation and context manager behavior
  - Yield control and cleanup verification
  - Custom parameter handling
  - Error recovery
- **vl.enforce() tests (10)**:
  - Metrics evaluation against policies
  - Dataframe processing and validation
  - Results caching mechanisms
  - Multiple policy execution
  - Error handling and edge cases
- **Integration test (1)**:
  - Combined monitor() and enforce() workflow
- Fixtures: Realistic sample policies, dataframes, and temporary directories

#### Phase C: Coverage Improvement Tests ✅
Created targeted coverage tests (`tests/test_coverage_improvements.py`) achieving edge-case coverage for 90%+ target:
- **Error handling paths (6 tests)**:
  - Invalid control specifications
  - Strict mode violations
  - Dataframe edge cases (empty, NaN values)
- **Telemetry robustness (3 tests)**:
  - Import failure recovery
  - Exception handling in metric reporting
- **Integration coverage (3 tests)**:
  - MLflow/W&B fallback mechanisms
  - Session lifecycle edge cases
- **API boundary conditions (3 tests)**:
  - Numeric edge cases (NaN, negative values, large ranges)
  - Results caching edge cases
  - Metrics computation boundary conditions

#### Phase D: Scenario Verification for v0.5.0 ✅
Complete verification of all 5 scenarios in `venturalitica-sdk-samples`:
- **loan-credit-scoring**: ✅ Fully production-ready (OSCAL policies, 4 notebooks, Academy L1-L4 coverage)
- **medical-spine-segmentation**: ✅ Fully production-ready (DICOM processing, compliance testing)
- **financial**: ✅ Ready (demonstrates modular before/after approach)
- **vision-fairness**: ✅ Ready (fairness metrics, data governance)
- **test-inference**: ✅ Minimal/testing-focused (intentional minimal scope)
- Verified all scenarios already use v0.5.0-compatible imports (no migration needed)
- Distribution model confirmed: consolidated in `venturalitica-sdk-samples` (not separate repos)
- Created comprehensive verification report: `docs/engineering/SCENARIO_VERIFICATION_v0.5.0.md`

### Summary of Changes

#### Code Quality Improvements
- **Total tests**: 529 passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed
- **New tests added**: 30 (15 smoke tests + 15 coverage tests)
- **Code coverage**: 73% baseline (targeting 90%+ with new tests)
- **Linting status**: 100% clean (ruff-verified)
- **Regressions**: 0

#### Modules & Architecture
- No breaking changes to core API
- All public APIs remain backward compatible
- Deprecated import shim modules removed (see Breaking Changes)

#### Documentation
- Updated RELEASE_NOTES.md with comprehensive v0.5.0 details
- Added SCENARIO_VERIFICATION_v0.5.0.md for release verification
- Updated pyproject.toml with ruff configuration

### Breaking Changes

**Removed Deprecated Shim Modules**

The following deprecated import paths have been removed in v0.5.0:

| Old Import (Removed) | New Import (Use This) |
|---|---|
| `from venturalitica import causal` | `from venturalitica.assurance.causal import ...` |
| `from venturalitica import fairness` | `from venturalitica.assurance.fairness import ...` |
| `from venturalitica import performance` | `from venturalitica.assurance.performance import ...` |
| `from venturalitica import privacy` | `from venturalitica.assurance.privacy import ...` |
| `from venturalitica import quality` | `from venturalitica.assurance.quality import ...` |

**Migration required if you use deprecated imports:**
```python
# Old (no longer works):
from venturalitica import quality

# New (use this):
from venturalitica.assurance.quality import QualityMetrics
```

**No migration needed** if you use the `venturalitica.assurance.*` namespace directly.
