Oct 1, 2025October 2025 for chromaui/chromatic-cli focused on reliability, security, and streamlined release processes. Implemented a buffering mechanism for log writes during metadata uploads (withPausedLog) to prevent race conditions, expanded test coverage for uploadMetadataFiles, and migrated to a trusted publishing workflow in GitHub Actions, removing sensitive secrets and updating Node/NPM tooling. These changes reduce risk in metadata processing, speed up releases, and strengthen security in distribution.
