## 5.24.0

**`(internal):`** Plumb `verify`, `verifyRunner`, and `verifyValidatorVersion` flags through
`GenerationRunner.RunArgs` so the seed runner can invoke
`PostGenerationPipeline` with `VerificationStep` and exercise the same
validator-container code path that `fern generate --local --verify` uses.
No customer-facing CLI behavior change — the flags are opt-in and used only
by the seed test runner today.

## 5.23.6

**`(fix):`** Fix `fern docs dev` hot reload not working for .mdx file changes. The backend
now updates the docs definition before notifying the browser to refresh, and
the reload handler properly recovers from errors instead of silently blocking
all future reloads.

## 5.23.5

**`(fix):`** Fix SDK generation crashing with `fatal: <sha> is not a valid object`
when the prior fern-bot PR was squash-merged and its branch deleted.
The stale `fern-generation-base` tag update is now skipped with a
warning; the SDK PR still opens.

## 5.23.4

**`(fix):`** Fix allOf composition so inline elements with real constraints (e.g. `pattern`, `minLength`) produce a properly merged type instead of being silently dropped. Also refactored the allOf shortcircuit logic to use a metadata allowlist, which is safer against new OpenAPI fields.

**`(fix):`** Fix example generation for allOf compositions to merge base schema fields into property overrides. When an allOf override specifies only `items` without `type: array`, the base schema's type is now correctly inherited, producing properly typed examples instead of null.
