`pontil_core` Changelog

2.0.0 / 2026-05-15

Breaking Changes

Internal refactoring has removed pontil/core/command. Any downstream project (which should only by pontil projects at this point) using it will need to call the same functions in pontil/core.

This has the positive benefit of making all types documented in the main module.

Function Portability and Output Mode

All public functions are annotated as either {portable} or {actions}. The former are usable with any Gleam program while the latter assume that the Gleam program is being run in a GitHub Actions (or compatible) environment.

Portable logging functions (notice, etc.) will output in GitHub actions format unless the output mode has changed. This can be managed with the new set_output_mode function and the constructors action_mode (the default, issues GitHub Actions commands), plaintext_mode (prefixed plaintext logging), and ansi_mode (ANSI coloured logging).

Some functions like set_secret, export_variable, and add_path have extra behaviour when running under GitHub Actions, but perform their normal operation otherwise.

New Features

Added output mode configuration with set_output_mode, making pontil logging functions more useful for non-action environments. The default behaviour is GitHub Actions output mode. Three built-in mode constructors are also provided: action_mode, plaintext_mode, and ansi_mode.
Extended set_secret and added set_secrets to keep track of values that should be masked. This will allow secrets to be automatically masked with non-GitHub Actions output modes.
Added mask_secrets to permit secret masking directly.
set_exit_code now accepts Exit(Int) as a permitted value for exit codes other than 0 (Success) or 1 (Failure).
in_actions function so consumers of pontil/core can determine whether they are running under GitHub Actions or not.
env_get_nonempty has been exposed as a public function that returns an Option value of the environment variable only if it is not an empty "" value.
Documentation and repo updates. The symlinks to the supporting tools have been removed from the directory and added as sidebar links to the root file in the generated documentation.
