Summary
AI summaryFixed an infinite CI → release loop caused by GitHub App token.
Full changelog
v1.6.0
Highlights
CLI command aliases (#391) — Type bernstein s instead of bernstein status, bernstein r instead of bernstein run. User-defined aliases via ~/.bernstein/aliases.yaml override built-ins.
Auto-release loop fix — The GitHub App token was causing an infinite CI → release → CI loop (14 spam releases in one day). Bot commits now skip both CI and auto-release.
SonarCloud security fixes — All 16 security hotspots resolved: pinned 24 GitHub Actions to SHA hashes, added HMAC verification for pickle.load, replaced shell=True with shlex.split, marked non-crypto hashes with usedforsecurity=False.

Security
- Pinned all GitHub Actions to immutable SHA hashes (24 workflow files)
- HMAC-SHA256 integrity verification before
pickle.loadin duration predictor - Replaced
subprocess(shell=True)withshlex.splitin 4 files - Added
usedforsecurity=Falseto MD5/SHA1 used for non-crypto purposes
Fixes
- Break auto-release infinite loop (skip bot commits in CI and auto-release)
- MCP marketplace CLI command and registry
