v0.5.0a5: The Codex Sentinel — Visual Language Enforcement & Hardened Security

[PythonWoods-Dev]

🛡️ Zenzic v0.5.0a5 — "The Codex Sentinel"

This PR marks the completion of the ZRT-DOC-002 (Visual Language) sprint and the final hardening phase of the v0.5.0 series. We have transformed Zenzic from a technical tool into a governed architectural framework.

⚓ Key Architectural Pillars delivered:

1. Sentinel Visual Language (ZRT-DOC-002):

   • Canonical Style Guide: Codified internal standards for UI/UX.
   • Card Grid Refactoring: Transitioned from cluttered horizontal links to a high-density, single-action-link pattern.
   • Admonition Taxonomy: Strict semantic roles for callouts (Danger is now reserved for security incidents).
   • Icon Purge: Standardized on Lucide and Octicons; Material Icons are officially banned.

2. Graph Integrity & Stability (ZRT-DOC-004):

   • Strategic Anchoring: Imposed 102 explicit {#id} anchors using English canonical slugs as invariants.
   • i18n Parity: Full synchronization between EN and IT documentation, ensuring link stability across languages.

3. Hardened Security & E2E Validation:

   • CLI E2E Suite: 8 new tests validating the exit code contract (3 > 2 > 1 > 0) with zero mocks.
   • Exit-Zero Fix: Corrected a bug in check all where security exits could be suppressed. Safety is now unconditional.
   • Automated SVG Generation: All 5 documentation screenshots are now deterministic and auto-generated from sandbox fixtures.

🧪 Validation Results:

• Pytest: 767 passed, 0 failed.
• Zenzic Self-Check: check all --strict → ✔ ALL CLEAR.
• MkDocs Build: build --strict → 0 warnings.
• REUSE Compliance: 3.3 standards met.
