## What's New

### v0.4.1 - 2026-02-16
- **Added**
- **Guardrails for dangerous commands**: Loz now includes built-in safety guardrails that automatically block potentially dangerous shell commands before execution. The following commands are blocked:
- `rm -rf /` and its bypass variants (`rm -rf/*`, `rm -rf /.`)
- `shutdown` and `reboot` commands
- Fork bomb: `:(){ :|:& };:`
- Filesystem formatting: `mkfs`
- Direct disk operations: `dd if=`
- This feature provides an additional layer of protection to prevent accidental system damage, complementing the existing confirmation prompts.

### v0.4.0 - 2026-02-08
- **Added**
- Cross-platform command execution: Loz now detects your OS and shell (Linux, macOS, Windows PowerShell, or cmd) and generates/executed commands accordingly.
