+# modern-di 2.27.0 — shorter registrations, self-resetting overrides, anchored errors
+
+Back-compatible: no behavior flips, no new warnings. Four features from the
+3.0 UX research land together — the registration line gets shorter twice,
+test overrides clean up after themselves, and error messages now point at
+the source line that declared the failing provider.
+
+## Feature
+
+- **Positional subject arguments (API-5).** `Factory`, `ContextProvider`,
+  and `Alias` accept their subject as the first positional argument —
+  `providers.Factory(UserRepository)`,
+  `providers.ContextProvider(HttpRequest)`, `providers.Alias(Concrete)`.
+  The keyword spellings (`creator=`, `context_type=`, `source_type=`)
+  remain first-class; nothing is deprecated. Docs teach the positional
+  form throughout.
+- **Group-level default scope (API-4).** A `Group` subclass may declare its
+  members' default scope:
+
+  ```python
+  class RequestGroup(Group, scope=Scope.REQUEST):
+      repo = providers.Factory(UserRepository)              # takes REQUEST
+      audit = providers.Factory(AuditLog, scope=Scope.APP)  # explicit wins
+  ```
+
+  Priority: explicit `scope=` > the group's kwarg (inherited via MRO;
+  a subclass's kwarg applies to providers declared in its own body) >
+  `Scope.APP`. `Alias` never participates (its scope derives from its
+  source). A scope-defaulted provider shared by two groups with different
+  defaults raises the new `GroupScopeConflictError` at class creation —
+  import order never decides a provider's scope.
+- **Context-manager override (INT-4).** `container.override(provider, obj)`
+  still applies immediately and now returns an `OverrideHandle`:
+
+  ```python
+  with container.override(MyGroup.api_client, mock_client) as client:
+      ...  # resolution returns mock_client
+  # prior override state restored here — even on exception
+  ```
+
+  Exit restores the snapshot taken at the call (a previously stacked
+  override, or none); nested overrides of the same provider unwind in
+  order. Imperative `override()`/`reset_override()` callers are unaffected.
+- **Definition-site anchors on error paths (ERR-6).** Breadcrumb lines and
+  cycle hops now end with the creator's declaration site:
+
+  ```
+  Cannot resolve dependency chain:
+    REQUEST  UserService (app.services:17)
+    APP      └─> SessionFactory (app.db:42)
+  ```
+
+  Captured lazily on the error path only (zero import/resolution cost),
+  memoized, with silent fallback for callables without source. Cycle
+  errors expose the parallel `.cycle_locations`; `.cycle_path` stays bare
+  type names.
+
+## Downstream
+
+- **Tests asserting exact error messages** will break on the new trailing
+  `(module:line)` anchors in breadcrumb and cycle lines. As with 2.24.0
+  and 2.26.0: prefer `pytest.raises(..., match=...)` with a substring —
+  anchors are trailing additions, so substring matches survive.
+- `Container.override` now returns an `OverrideHandle` instead of `None` —
+  invisible to callers that ignore the return value.
+- New exception: `GroupScopeConflictError` (a `RegistrationError`), with
+  its [troubleshooting page](https://modern-di.modern-python.org/troubleshooting/group-scope-conflict-error/).
+- No floor bumps required.
+
+## Internals
+
+- The eager warm-up capability (API-8/INT-3, `init_cache()`-style) is
+  explicitly deferred with a revisit trigger recorded in planning.
+- 100% line coverage maintained across Python 3.10–3.14; `ruff` and `ty`
+  clean; docs built under `mkdocs --strict` in CI.
