# Weatherreporter v0.11.0

This release adds a configurable default publication directory for generated
weather reports.

## Summary

Operators can now set `output.directory` once for both individual reports and
scheduled batches. Explicit `--out` and `--out-dir` destinations continue to
take precedence, while installations that omit the setting retain the existing
current-directory behavior.

## Compatibility

This release is additive and compatible with `v0.10.1`. Existing configuration
files, commands, report filenames, Promptkit behavior, and Distributor
notification behavior remain valid and unchanged.

## Upgrade

No special action is required. To use the new default destination, configure
`output.directory` as described in the [configuration
reference](../config.md). Existing deployments may continue using the current
working directory or explicit CLI output flags.

## Changes

- Added strict configuration loading and validation for the optional
  `output.directory` field.
- Applied the configured directory consistently to `generate` and `run`, with
  explicit CLI destinations retaining highest precedence.
- Preserved relative-path handling, absolute result paths, atomic publication,
  cancellation safety, and Distributor notification ordering.
- Strengthened output preflight so existing non-directory paths, uninspectable
  paths, and dangling symlink components fail before expensive report work.
- Updated the [CLI reference](../cli.md) and [operations
  guide](../operations.md) for the new destination-selection behavior.
