v1.2.0

Three new providers (DeepSeek, Mistral, Cohere) bring the live count to 9, plus `--suggest-commit`, a `--min-severity` display filter, per-model pricing overrides, and a GitHub Action for CI.

Released May 28, 2026

Added

  • Three new providers: DeepSeek, Mistral, Cohere. Each is a standalone provider package reusing the openai-go SDK pointed at the provider’s OpenAI-compatible endpoint — no new dependency (DeepSeek api.deepseek.com, Mistral api.mistral.ai/v1, Cohere’s compatibility/v1). API keys via config or DEEPSEEK_API_KEY / MISTRAL_API_KEY / COHERE_API_KEY; all three appear in commitbrief setup. Structured output is prompt-driven (no response_format) since these providers’ strict-JSON support varies — the retry-once-then-degrade pipeline (ADR-0014) covers non-conforming output, same as Ollama. Total live providers: 9 (4 API + these 3 + 2 CLI-backed).

  • --suggest-commit. After the review, makes a second free-form provider call and prints a single Conventional Commit message for the staged diff to stdout. Read-only — it suggests, never writes git. Requires the staged scope (--staged or the default run); rejected with --unstaged, the diff subcommand, and --json / --markdown / --output. Works with every provider via the new additive provider.Request.FreeForm, which makes API providers skip their structured-output enforcement for this one call. See ADR-0015.

  • --min-severity=<level> display filter. Hides findings below the given severity in the rendered output (Cards, Markdown, --copy). --json stays complete (machine contract) and --fail-on always evaluates the full, unfiltered set — so CI gating is never weakened by a display filter. Accepts critical|high|medium|low|info|none; an invalid value errors before the provider call. Complements --fail-on (which governs the exit code).

  • Per-model pricing override (OQ-09). providers.<name>.pricing.<model> in config overrides the built-in $/1M-token rate snapshot used by the cost preflight, the verbose footer, and cached-cost figures. Fields: input_per_1m, output_per_1m, cached_input_per_1m; zero/omitted fields fall back to the built-in value (partial override OK). Edited in the config file and shown by commitbrief config show. Useful when the hard-coded snapshot drifts or for a negotiated rate.

  • CI integration: the commitbrief-action GitHub Action. A separate repo (CommitBrief/commitbrief-action) ships a composite action that runs CommitBrief on pull requests — either posting inline review comments + a verdict (comment mode, via remote pr) or running an exit-code gate (gate mode, via diff --fail-on). The README’s new “Continuous integration” section documents usage; no CLI change.

Fixed

  • commitbrief remote pr no longer requests a non-existent gh JSON field. gh pr view --json has no baseRepository field, so the PR fetch failed with Unknown JSON field: "baseRepository" against every real gh version. The base repository slug used for posting inline comments is now derived from the PR’s url field (which always points at the base repo, including cross-fork PRs).
