@@ -30,6 +30,7 @@ Behavior Changes
 - **Commands:** The ``filter:check`` command now requires the HTTP method argument to be uppercase (e.g., ``spark filter:check GET /`` instead of ``spark filter:check get /``).
 - **Commands:** Several built-in commands have been migrated from ``BaseCommand`` to the modern ``AbstractCommand`` style. Applications that extend a built-in command to override
   behaviour may need to re-implement against the modern API (``configure()`` + ``execute()`` and the ``#[Command]`` attribute) once the class it extends is migrated, or, preferably, compose instead of extending. Invocations on the command line are unaffected.
+- **Commands:** The ``logs:clear`` command now returns ``EXIT_SUCCESS`` (previously ``EXIT_ERROR``) when the user declines the interactive confirmation prompt, since user-initiated cancellation is not a failure. Output messages have also been reworded to distinguish cancellation (interactive ``n``) from abort (non-interactive without ``--force``), and the resolved log directory path is now included in the prompt, success, and failure messages.
 - **Database:** The Postgre driver's ``$db->error()['code']`` previously always returned ``''``. It now returns the 5-character SQLSTATE string for query and transaction failures (e.g., ``'42P01'``), or ``'08006'`` for connection-level failures. Code that relied on ``$db->error()['code'] === ''`` will need updating.
 - **Filters:** HTTP method matching for method-based filters is now case-sensitive. The keys in ``Config\Filters::$methods`` must exactly match the request method
   (e.g., ``GET``, ``POST``). Lowercase method names (e.g., ``post``) will no longer match.
