 # Changelog
 
+## [1.1.0](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/compare/v1.0.0...v1.1.0) (2026-07-09)
+
+
+### Features
+
+* add opt-in comment-block check with AI pushback ([94cf2d8](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/94cf2d87d73a7d647f9e35ef3f9266d28f37306d))
+* add opt-in comment-block check with AI pushback ([842b4e7](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/842b4e7f095a8e0674ea8870a5595134bf67c546))
+* configurable external checks via -- passthrough and verifyx eject ([2bdbd1c](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/2bdbd1cfbffbd694d8624da7ebbf5b9e5a26b09f))
+* configurable external checks via -- passthrough and verifyx eject ([8411fd0](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/8411fd01cc289f879ef7a6fb07395e6ec016faad))
+* init offers "run everything with defaults" as an up-front choice ([e52b697](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/e52b6977c3cc14ef107ee2e7549ef64aeabf648c))
+* init teaches knip to ignore the tools verifyx runs (no consumer setup) ([5618ad9](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/5618ad927ea6377d3185ce57b51b1344da249997))
+* merge comment-block + block-comments into one `comments` check ([7dae650](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/7dae650773ddcf98aa8ad076bc78723222a5ecc2))
+* name the tool + command + docs when an external check fails ([512c8ea](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/512c8eabd4d903766f48c321d0d36c718b05f96f))
+* orchestrate multiple checks with a convention-based verify CLI ([6075410](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/607541095dcbcc915f323a3c469f0a70774d2328))
+* run only defined verify:* scripts by default; add `verifyx all` ([8d16593](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/8d1659360c559963acecaa760eb273fc354d567c))
+* run verifyx all in parallel; --measure prints only its table ([87ae112](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/87ae112d08a81f7829db94a341a82b8661ac75f5))
+* ship a verify skill + CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md pointer instead of a slash command ([cfdeccd](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/cfdeccd9ba73b2a8643def6d54c2775d128f3260))
+* silent on success — gate orchestrator chatter behind --verbose/--measure ([89b2c3b](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/89b2c3b2793a96e9f9e959fd5c48632be6c02d96))
+* support verify:<name>:fix override variants ([c958bcd](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/c958bcd89d1bc211ad8d183360baa55bd486023c))
+* transform complexity-verifier into @makerx/verify (multi-check verifier) ([5d1385d](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/5d1385df5be03c8d274168f3b25339394f2e80fc))
+* verifyx all is silent on success and runs custom verify:* scripts ([413bdbb](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/413bdbb636004a27de716885b405291428cb3728))
+* verifyx runs tests by convention, with --no-tests to opt out ([a2b5d3a](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/a2b5d3a9b090870ebc6b13e4e16cf3ac6393cda1))
+
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+* address PR review — CI diff base for new-comments + config ignores ([1341a57](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/1341a570ab7a969257574f53c843ea80a75cae3c))
+* auto-fix locally and check-only in CI; call built-ins from verify:* scripts ([327f2ee](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/327f2ee1dabdce26ed5dffcacb34a8f19e4c7781))
+* rename CLI binary to verifyx and deny the native watcher install script ([28ca3ee](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/28ca3ee46caab20a554fdb6ff725ec1a3d1e1278))
+* verifyx all now honours run flags passed after the subcommand ([4545177](https://github.com/MakerXStudio/verify/commit/4545177dc8748dcac318f622f250b813d6520c45))
