OpenFastTrace 4.2.3, released 2026-03-01

Code name: Protobuf file support

Summary

In this release we added support for Protobuf definition files. We also introduced a Code of Conduct and updated the contribution guidelines with rules for AI-assisted coding.

The new Code of Conduct emphasizes respectful communication and constructive collaboration within the project, focusing on ideas rather than people. The contribution guidelines now explicitly state how AI-assisted coding is accepted, requiring that human contributors remain responsible for all submissions and review AI-generated code thoroughly. In this release we added support for Protobuf definition files. We also introduced the OpenFastTrace Claude Skill, which enables the Claude LLM to author specifications, run traces, and perform selective tracing.
