Changes for version 0.23 - 2026-06-28

  • Refactoring
    • Replaced hand-rolled _walk_isa / _get_inheritance_chain with mro::get_linear_isa (handles diamond inheritance correctly; UNIVERSAL appended manually when absent). _walk_isa is removed; callers that called it directly will get "Undefined subroutine".
    • Extracted _build_logger() private helper consolidating logger creation from configure() and _reconfigure_logger(), eliminating the duplication.
    • Added Readonly constants for all magic strings: $OS_WINDOWS, $LOGGER_NULL, $SIG_DEFAULT, $SIG_IGNORE, $POLL_SLEEP, $KILL_TIMEOUT.
    • Removed duplicate dead-code block in configure() (second identical "if ($array && !$params->{'logger'}->{'array'})" check).
    • Replaced POSIX::WNOHANG() fully-qualified call with imported WNOHANG.
    • Added =head1 LIMITATIONS POD section documenting known design trade-offs.
    • Readonly promoted from TEST_REQUIRES to PREREQ_PM (now used in lib/).
  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed configure() to give user-supplied arrayref logger priority over config-file logger (previously the config file could silently override an explicitly passed logger => \@arr).
    • Fixed env-var ancestor merge order in configure() no-config-file path: was iterating child-first (base-class env vars overrode child-class), now iterates base-first so child correctly overrides base.
    • Fixed _reload_object_config() logger-key match from /^logger/ to eq 'logger': keys like 'logger.file' are flat config values, not logger specs, and must not be processed through _reconfigure_logger().
    • Fixed warn → carp in reload_config() for package-correct stack traces.
  • CI
    • Bumped App::Test::Generator to 0.41 in both dashboard.yml and mutate.yml.
    • Added --exclude lib/Devel --exclude lib/App/Test/Generator/Sample to the non-ATG-repo generate-test-dashboard call in dashboard.yml (parity with mutate.yml).
    • Fixed empty-BASE guard in mutate.yml (no-op diff when all commits are bot).
    • Added conditional $BASE_SHA_FLAG in mutate.yml (avoids passing empty --base_sha).
    • Removed || true from all git pull --rebase lines in both workflow files.
    • Fixed coverage snapshot to use pre-captured SNAPSHOT_SHA / SNAPSHOT_TIMESTAMP instead of recomputing git rev-parse after bot commits moved HEAD.
  • Tests
    • Added t/locales.t: verifies configure() error strings are locale-consistent under en_US.UTF-8, de_DE.UTF-8, ja_JP.UTF-8 using local $! = ENOENT pattern.
    • Updated t/function.t: replaced _walk_isa() subtests with _get_inheritance_chain() equivalents to match refactored internals.
