Highlights

This patch release focuses on maintainability, release-process documentation quality,
and compatibility hardening rather than introducing new end-user workflow features.

The harness and CLI internals were refactored into smaller, focused modules to improve
readability and future change safety. In parallel, several audit and lifecycle issues
were fixed to keep quality gates, fixture integrity, and contract behavior consistent.

New Features

None in this patch release.
