+## 0.8.26 (2026-05-30)
+
+- Feat: `find_import_cycles(G)` in `analyze.py` detects file-level circular import dependencies — collapses symbol graph to file-level directed import graph, finds simple cycles via Johnson's algorithm, deduplicates rotations, renders `## Import Cycles` section in `GRAPH_REPORT.md` (#961)
+- Feat: custom LLM provider registry — `graphify provider add/list/show/remove` registers any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (NVIDIA NIM, vLLM, OpenRouter, Together, LiteLLM) via `~/.graphify/providers.json`; custom providers auto-detected after built-ins in `detect_backend()` priority (#1084)
+- Fix: `extract_files_direct()` no longer silently defaults to kimi (Moonshot AI) — `backend=None` now calls `detect_backend()` and raises a clear `ValueError` if no key is configured, matching CLI behavior; README Privacy section updated with data-residency notes (#1086)
+- Fix: `pnpm-workspace.yaml` with `packages: - '.'` no longer crashes with `IndexError: tuple index out of range` on Python 3.10 — `Path.glob('.')` replaced with `[root]` guard in `_load_workspace_packages`; `GRAPHIFY_DEBUG=1` env var added to `_safe_extract` for full traceback on extraction errors (#1083)
+- Fix: anchored `.graphifyignore` patterns (leading `/`) no longer match the same directory name anywhere in the tree — `_matches()` in both `_is_ignored` and `_is_included` now gates basename/segment shortcuts on `not anchored`; anchored patterns do exact anchor-relative path match only (#1087)
+- Docs: Filipino (fil-PH) README translation added (#1080)
+
 ## 0.8.25 (2026-05-29)
 
 - Fix: JS/TS `const`/`let` inside arrow-function callbacks no longer emit phantom god-nodes — scope guard restricts `_js_extra_walk` node emission to program-level declarations only; applies uniformly to JS, TS, and TSX (#1077)
