## [Unreleased]

## [1.1.1] - 2026-06-13

### Changed
- Removed the non-standard `version` field from `SKILL.md` frontmatter to align with the AI skill spec (`name` + `description` only). The version is still tracked via this changelog and the README badge.
- Replaced remaining "CodeBuddy" brand references with neutral "AI" wording in `CONTRIBUTING.md` / `CONTRIBUTING_CN.md` and the changelogs.
- Completed the project structure tree in `README.md` / `README_CN.md` (added `index.html`, `examples/`, `SECURITY.md`).
- Stopped tracking the local `.codebuddy/` directory in git (now gitignored).

## [1.1.0] - 2026-06-13

### Added
- Added `sci-plot-output/` to `.gitignore` to exclude generated output from version control.
- Added workflow architecture diagram (`docs/architecture.svg` + `docs/architecture_cn.svg`) with generation script (`docs/scripts/generate_architecture.py`).
- Added badges (License, Version, AI Skill) to README.md.
- Added project structure tree, FAQ section, and author information to README.md.
- Added visual architecture diagram section to README.md.
- Added interactive project overview page (`project_overview.html` + `project_overview/`) with dark theme, animated workflow timeline, style previews, and modern card-style architecture diagram.
- Added bilingual architecture SVGs with dark theme matching project overview design.

### Changed
- Renamed from "Scientific Figure Prompt Generator" to "Scientific Figure Prompt Engine"; Chinese slogan updated to "科研绘图 —— 从论文到插图的一站式引擎".
- Split human-facing documents into separate English/Chinese files: README.md/README_CN.md, CHANGELOG.md/CHANGELOG_CN.md, CONTRIBUTING.md/CONTRIBUTING_CN.md.
- Converted all AI-facing skill documents (SKILL.md, references/*.md) to English-only for better AI comprehension.
- Redesigned architecture SVG with dual-phase layout, highlighted core step (Round 4), and modern visual style.
