# step 6: Version bump and changelog

## Task Overview

* **Task Description:** Bump VERSION to next minor (this is a new feature: debug logging + 2 new CLI commands), update CHANGELOG.md with categorized changes from the HOOKLOG sprint, and tag the release.
* **Motivation:** Change enforcement rule: new CLI commands and config keys require a version bump. This is a minor bump — new user-facing feature (structured logging), new CLI commands (peon debug, peon logs), new config keys (debug, debug_retention_days).
* **Scope:** VERSION file, CHANGELOG.md, git tag.
* **Related Work:** All other HOOKLOG cards must be complete before this card executes.
* **Estimated Effort:** 15 minutes

**Required Checks:**
* [x] **Task description** clearly states what needs to be done.
* [x] **Motivation** explains why this work is necessary.
* [x] **Scope** defines what will be changed.

```markdown
## [X.Y.Z] - 2026-03-XX

### Added
- Structured debug logging for hook execution (`peon debug on/off`, `peon logs`)
- 9-phase decision tracing: event routing, config, state, pack selection, sound pick, playback, notification, trainer, exit timing
- Daily log rotation with configurable retention (`debug_retention_days`, default 7)
- `PEON_DEBUG=1` env var override for one-off debugging
- Cross-platform parity: identical log format on Unix and Windows
- Shared test fixtures enforcing format parity between BATS and Pester

### Fixed
- (any bugs found and fixed during sprint)
```

**Dependencies:** ALL other HOOKLOG cards (j6lzi1, 77eri8, w56sog, kt3ucx, unkjkl, r783op) must be done first.
