Changelog

• Fix: store .gitignore as gitignore_template since npm never includes .gitignore in published packages.

• Fix: add .npmignore so npm includes .gitignore and other dot files in the published package.
• Simplify installer to copy files directly to final paths, removing all flat-copy-then-rename logic.

• Update WordPress to 6.9, PHP to 8.5, and Xdebug to 3.5.1.
• Update dependencies.
• Replace GitHub downloads with local file copies in installer, removing download and execa dependencies.
• Replace chalk and prompts with native ANSI codes and Node's readline, reducing installer dependencies from 100+ to 18 packages.
• Export and export:backup scripts now auto-stop Docker containers when the stack was not already running, while preserving the correct exit code.
• Resolve wordpress-chmod race condition by adding a healthcheck to the WordPress service.
• Fix nginx 400 Bad Request error by increasing large_client_header_buffers.
• Remove obsolete version key from docker-compose.yml and add default for THEME_NAME.

• Add Docker availability check with colored error message before running Docker commands.
• Add Doccupine to installer output and README with referral links.
• Add CLAUDE.md for Claude Code guidance.
• Reformat CHANGELOG to follow Conventional Commits.

• Updated the default theme, replacing PHP templates with HTML and modern block-based markup. Learn more about block-based themes here.
• Added code formatters: PHP CS Fixer for PHP code consistency and Prettier for HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
• Added USE_POLLING environment variable to enable file watcher polling as needed.
• Enhanced build tasks so deleted files are automatically removed. Also resolved an issue where new images or fonts weren't being detected by the watch task.
• Replaced cssnano with gulp-clean-css for improved CSS optimization.
• Update PHP to 8.3.
• Update default theme.

A new major release simplifies WordPressify even further. Removes Node.js as a global dependency, leaving Docker as the only main dependency. This allows WordPressify to run cross-platform without changing anything.

• npm run dev replaced with npm run start or docker compose up
• npm run env:rebuild replaced with npm run rebuild or docker compose down -v, then docker compose build
• npm run prod replaced with npm run export or docker compose run --rm nodejs npm run prod
• npm run backup replaced with npm run export:backup or docker compose run --rm nodejs npm run backup
• npm run lint:css replaced with npm run lintcss or docker compose run --rm nodejs npm run lint:css
• Update documentation and website.
• Fix Windows build.
• Fix Linux Docker permissions.
• Fix Browsersync proxy server while using wp-admin.

A special thank you to @mountainash and @vandr0iy for their contributions.
