P2 Badge Clarify --check does not fail on every frozen mismatch

This line overstates --check semantics: prek auto-update --check only exits non-zero when has_updates is true, and has_updates excludes FrozenMismatchAction::NoReplacement (crates/prek/src/cli/auto_update.rs, apply_repo_updates, lines 555-560 and 637). That means some frozen-ref mismatches (for example when the pinned SHA is not present and no safe replacement/removal is possible) still warn but exit 0, so readers can configure CI expecting failures that will not happen.

The wording here is inconsistent with the rest of the docs: languages.md indicates Julia currently uses the system julia (no language_version / toolchain management) and .NET is listed as fully supported, not experimental. Consider rephrasing this sentence to avoid calling Julia a “managed runtime”, and either drop “experimental” for .NET or align the language-support docs accordingly.

Comment thread README.md
- It supports native [`prek.toml`](https://prek.j178.dev/configuration/) in addition to pre-commit YAML, and [`prek util yaml-to-toml`](https://prek.j178.dev/cli/#prek-util-yaml-to-toml) helps migrate existing configs.
- Built-in support for [workspaces](https://prek.j178.dev/workspace/) means monorepos can keep separate configs per project and still run everything from one command.
- [`prek install`](https://prek.j178.dev/cli/#prek-install) and [`prek uninstall`](https://prek.j178.dev/cli/#prek-uninstall) honor repo-local and worktree-local `core.hooksPath`.
- [`prek run`](https://prek.j178.dev/cli/#prek-run) supports selecting or skipping multiple projects or hooks in workspace mode, instead of only accepting a single optional hook id, and adds quality-of-life improvements such as `--dry-run`, `--directory`, `--last-commit`, and `--no-fail-fast`.

This bullet advertises --no-fail-fast as a quality-of-life flag, but it’s currently hidden from prek run --help / the generated CLI reference (docs/cli.md only documents --fail-fast). Either unhide + document --no-fail-fast in the CLI reference, or remove it from the README to avoid pointing users at an undiscoverable/unstable option.

### [`v0.3.12`](https://github.com/j178/prek/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#0312)

[Compare Source](j178/prek@v0.3.11...v0.3.12)

Released on 2026-05-05.

##### Highlights

`auto_update.cooldown_days` is now available in both the user-level global
config (`~/.config/prek/prek.toml` on Linux and macOS, or
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/prek/prek.toml` when set; `%APPDATA%\prek\prek.toml` on
Windows) and project config. Set a user default for `prek auto-update`, then
override it per project when a repository needs a different update cadence.

```

##### Enhancements

- Support `language: dart` ([#&#8203;1146](j178/prek#1146))

##### Bug fixes

### [`v0.3.11`](https://github.com/j178/prek/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#0311)

[Compare Source](j178/prek@v0.3.10...v0.3.11)

Released on 2026-04-27.

##### Highlights

Hook entries now have an explicit `shell` option for shell snippets. Set
`shell: sh`, `bash`, `pwsh`, `powershell`, or `cmd` when an entry should be
evaluated by that shell; leaving it unset keeps prek's direct argv execution.

`prek auto-update` can now filter tag candidates before choosing an update.
Both options take glob patterns: use `--include-tag` to only consider matching
tag names, and `--exclude-tag` to skip matching tags such as moving tags or
prereleases.

##### Enhancements

- Add `auto-update --exclude-repo <repo>` to skip repos ([#&#8203;1983](j178/prek#1983))
- Add `auto-update --exit-code` to exit with non-zero on updates ([#&#8203;2002](j178/prek#2002))
- Add `auto-update --include-tag <pattern>`/`--exclude-tag <pattern>` to filter tags ([#&#8203;1984](j178/prek#1984))
- Adds an explicit `shell` hook option for entries that should run as shell source ([#&#8203;2004](j178/prek#2004))
- Make `--hook-dir` optional for hook-impl ([#&#8203;1989](j178/prek#1989))
- Skip shim warning when `--script-version` is missing ([#&#8203;1990](j178/prek#1990))

##### Bug fixes

- Install Ruby executable in gem bin ([#&#8203;2017](j178/prek#2017))
- Use dedicated Android npm package ([#&#8203;1982](j178/prek#1982))
- Use stable repo keys without breaking cached clones ([#&#8203;1995](j178/prek#1995))

##### Documentation

- Explain prek name ([#&#8203;1980](j178/prek#1980))
- Clarify `pass_filenames` concurrency docs ([#&#8203;1999](j178/prek#1999))

##### Enhancements

- Improve merge conflict marker detection ([#&#8203;1937](j178/prek#1937))
- Keep finished hooks visible ([#&#8203;1967](j178/prek#1967))

- Reimplement `@j178/prek` npm package ([#&#8203;1973](j178/prek#1973))

##### Bug fixes

- Prefer stable Rust toolchains ([#&#8203;1974](j178/prek#1974))

##### Documentation

- Add `SKILL.md` for prek ([#&#8203;1950](j178/prek#1950))

### [`v0.3.9`](https://github.com/j178/prek/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#039)

[Compare Source](j178/prek@v0.3.8...v0.3.9)

Released on 2026-04-13.

##### Highlight

`prek auto-update` is now stricter about pinned revisions and more useful in CI.
It now keeps `rev` and `# frozen:` comments in sync, can detect
[impostor commits](https://docs.zizmor.sh/audits/#impostor-commit) when validating pinned SHAs,
and lets you use `prek auto-update --check` to fail on both available updates and frozen-ref
mismatches without rewriting the config.

Examples:

```console
$ prek auto-update

# updates revs and repairs stale `# frozen:` comments

$ prek auto-update --freeze

# writes frozen SHAs with matching `# frozen: <tag>` comments

$ prek auto-update --check

# exits non-zero when updates are available, a `# frozen:` comment is stale,
# or a pinned SHA does not belong to the fetched upstream refs
```

##### Enhancements

- Check and sync frozen comments during auto-update ([#&#8203;1896](j178/prek#1896))
- Handle impostor commits in auto-update ([#&#8203;1919](j178/prek#1919))
- Add experimental `language: dotnet` support ([#&#8203;1871](j178/prek#1871))
- Honor repo and worktree `core.hooksPath` ([#&#8203;1892](j178/prek#1892))
- Add `prek run --no-fail-fast` to override config file ([#&#8203;1859](j178/prek#1859))
- Add `forbid-new-submodules` as builtin hook ([#&#8203;1853](j178/prek#1853))
- Clean stale patch files in `cache gc` ([#&#8203;1877](j178/prek#1877))
- Display auto-update results by config entry ([#&#8203;1922](j178/prek#1922))
- Restrict patch directory permissions ([#&#8203;1876](j178/prek#1876))
- Show tag names in `auto-update --freeze` output ([#&#8203;1916](j178/prek#1916))
- Use a bitset for hook stages ([#&#8203;1860](j178/prek#1860))

##### Bug fixes

- Canonicalize CWD and GIT\_ROOT paths ([#&#8203;1878](j178/prek#1878))
- Ensure quotes are added for non-string revisions in `auto-update` ([#&#8203;1936](j178/prek#1936))

##### Documentation

- Update docs for case of hooks modifying files with a non-zero exit code ([#&#8203;1879](j178/prek#1879))

### [`v0.3.2`](https://github.com/j178/prek/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#032)

[Compare Source](j178/prek@v0.3.1...v0.3.2)

Released on 2026-02-06.

##### Highlights

- **`prek.toml` is here!**

  You can now use `prek.toml` as an alternative to `.pre-commit-config.yaml` for configuring prek. `prek.toml` mirrors the structure of `.pre-commit-config.yaml`, but TOML is less error-prone. Your existing `.pre-commit-config.yaml` will continue to work, but for new users and new projects, `prek.toml` may make more sense. If you want to switch, run `prek util yaml-to-toml` to convert YAML configs to `prek.toml`. See [configuration docs](configuration.md) for details.

  For example, this config:

  ```yaml
  repos:
    - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
      rev: v6.0.0
      hooks:
        - id: check-yaml
  ```

  Can be written as `prek.toml` like this:

  ```toml
  [[repos]]
  repo = "https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks"
  rev = "v6.0.0"
  hooks = [ { id = "check-yaml" } ]
  ```

- **`serde-yaml` has been replaced with `serde-saphyr`**

  We replaced the long-deprecated `serde-yaml` crate with [`serde-saphyr`](https://crates.io/crates/serde-saphyr) for YAML parsing. It is written in safe Rust and has better error messages, performance, and security. This lets us provide precise location information for configuration parsing errors, which should make it easier to fix config issues.

  For example, this invalid config:

  ```yaml
  repos:
    - repo: https://github.com/crate-ci/typos
      hooks:
        - id: typos
  ```

  Before:

  ```console
  $ prek run
  error: Failed to parse `.pre-commit-config.yaml`
    caused by: Invalid remote repo: missing field `rev`
  ```

  Now:

  ```console
  $ prek run
  error: Failed to parse `.pre-commit-config.yaml`
  caused by: error: line 2 column 5: missing field `rev` at line 2, column 5
  --> <input>:2:5
    |
  1 | repos:
  2 |   - repo: https://github.com/crate-ci/typos
    |     ^ missing field `rev` at line 2, column 5
  3 |     hooks:
  4 |       - id: typos
    |
  ```

- **`prek util` subcommands**

  We added a new `prek util` top-level command for miscellaneous utilities that don't fit into other categories. The first two utilities are:

  - `prek util identify`: shows the identification tags of files that prek uses for file filtering, which can be useful for debugging and writing `types/types_or/exclude_types` filters.
  - `prek util yaml-to-toml`: converts `.pre-commit-config.yaml` to `prek.toml`.

  We also moved `prek init-template-dir` under `prek util` for better organization. The old `prek init-template-dir` command is still available (hidden) as an alias for backward compatibility.
