Changelog

2026-02-16

Changed default workflow artifact outputs from repository root to artifacts/:
- artifacts/inventory.csv
- artifacts/identities.json
- artifacts/analysis.json
- artifacts/plan.json
- artifacts/plan_manual_review.csv
Added workspace_dir to configuration (~/.vlm/config.yaml) to customize default artifact directory.
Stage-A compatibility: when a command uses default input path and only legacy root artifact exists, CLI now prints a migration warning and falls back to the legacy file.
Added ignore rules for generated artifact directories in .gitignore (artifacts/, runs/).
Removed temporary process document ARTIFACTS_REFACTOR_PLAN_2026-02-16.md; CHANGELOG.md remains the canonical change record.

Modularized CLI command implementations:
- Added src/vlm/commands/parse.py
- Added src/vlm/commands/enrich.py
- Added src/vlm/commands/execute.py
- Refactored src/vlm/cli.py to delegate parse, enrich, execute, and rollback to command modules
Unified I/O layer for JSON handling:
- Added load_json_file, save_json_file, save_analysis_json in src/vlm/io.py
- Updated analyze/enrich paths to use unified I/O entry points
Parser/config consistency improvements:
- Added shared DEFAULT_VIDEO_EXTENSIONS in src/vlm/config.py
- Updated src/vlm/parser.py to use the shared config constant instead of local hardcoded defaults
Execution reliability hardening:
- Updated src/vlm/executor.py transaction logging to fail gracefully when ~/.vlm is not writable (warn + continue)
Test stability improvements:
- Standardized test timestamps to timezone-aware UTC (datetime.now(timezone.utc))
- Added missing timezone imports where required

Updated repository documentation set to match the refactor baseline:
- Core docs: README.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md
- Skill docs: skills/vlm-library-workflow/SKILL.md and all references under skills/vlm-library-workflow/references/
- Legacy review/plan docs now explicitly marked as historical snapshots and redirected to CHANGELOG.md as the current source of truth
