Changes for version v0.10.0 - 2026-07-16
- Removed Concierge::Desk::Base and Concierge::Desk::RecordsStore. Component.pm (pure POD contract) and UnavailableComponent.pm (AUTOLOAD stand-in for a component that fails to instantiate) now fully replace the old Base.pm split; a component's CRUD methods are its own responsibility, no longer scaffolded or standardized by Concierge.
- Added component method promotion: a component's 'promote' config entry (arrayref or hashref, in its components.$name block) exposes a curated subset of its methods directly on $concierge, e.g. $concierge->method(...) instead of $concierge->component->method(...). Convenience/clarity only, never access control -- the bare-accessor escape hatch ($concierge->{name} / $concierge->name) remains unrestricted regardless of promotion. All validation (shape, can(), name collisions against core methods and other components' accessors) happens once, at build_desk() time; open_desk() only replays already-trusted concierge.conf entries. See perldoc Concierge::Desk::Component for the full contract.
- build_desk(): setup() failures now self-report the failing top-level component name (name is passed into setup()'s args alongside dir), fixing a build-error message that previously could not identify which optional component failed.
- Concierge.pm POD: documented previously-undocumented public methods new_concierge, save_user_keys, and the auth/sessions/users component accessors (raised POD coverage from 71% to 95% on this module).
- Fixed stale MANIFEST: was still listing the removed Base.pm and missing Component.pm, UnavailableComponent.pm, and two test files
- the CPAN tarball would have shipped without two required modules.
- README.md, SECURITY.md: updated stale version references.
