July 2025 monthly summary for zingolabs/zingolib focused on modular CLI architecture improvements and dependency hygiene. Implemented a structural refactor to decouple CLI command logic from the library crate by relocating the CLI command module from zingolib to zingocli. The change includes moving the module file, updating internal paths, and syncing dependencies (Cargo.lock and zingocli/Cargo.toml). Implemented via a single commit; the key commit is 3e061336eb2e96de073bef2f2ae23149d78a518b with message 'refactor: move commands to `zingo-cli`'. No major bugs were reported as part of this work. The result is a cleaner separation of concerns between the library and CLI, enabling faster, safer CLI iterations and easier maintenance.
