VERSE 87b91c45d7 feat: update changelog (#131)
closes #130 

- CHANGELOG.md file for people who can view changelog from github
---
`iris changelog` command:
`iris changelog [version]` (e.g. iris changelog v0.5.1)
`iris changelog -n 3` (see changelog of 3 latest releaseas)

=> `iris changelog` looks just like CHANGELOG.md, grouped headers and
all. It only stops looking that way if we personally overwrite that
release's description with something else
=> With 1-hour local cache (invalidated on updater-channel change),
`--refresh` flag to bypass, graceful fallback to stale cache on GitHub
rate-limiting

---
- New auto update config
```toml
# 0 = off (default, notify only), 1 = auto-install, 2 = always confirm first
auto-update = 1
```

- New just debug-changelog and just debug-autoupdate recipes (fully
offline, mocked HTTP servers, no real network/config touched)

Development guide

This document outlines the development workflow, build system, and coding conventions for contributors working on the Iris codebase.

Environment setup

Clone the repository and sync dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/versenilvis/iris.git
cd iris
go mod tidy

Modular just command runner

We use just as our primary command runner. Recipes are organized into modular files under justfiles/:

  • justfiles/build.just ([build] group): build, optimized-build, build-release <version>
  • justfiles/dev.just ([dev] group): run, config-init, reload, copy
  • justfiles/test.just ([test] group): test, lint, analyze (alias ana)
  • justfiles/gen.just ([gen] group): gen-docs
  • justfiles/pkg.just ([pkg] group): pkg
  • justfiles/debug.just ([debug] group): debug, debug-update, debug-changelog, debug-notify, debug-install, debug-autoupdate

Run just -l to quickly view all available recipes organized by group.
