v1.0.0

What's in this release

First native release — the framework ships as OS-native bundles for Linux,
macOS, and Windows, built and published automatically from a v* tag.

Added

• Native hkm launcher (Zig) for Linux, macOS (universal arm64 + x86_64),
  and Windows, cross-compiled from a single Linux host.
• hkm doctor — verifies PHP ≥ 8.4.1, required extensions
  (json, mbstring, ctype, tokenizer, filter, pdo, openssl, curl, fileinfo), a
  PDO driver, and reports the resolved kernel path.
• hkm version / --version / -v with a Sentinel ASCII banner.
• hkm upgrade [--check] — checks the repo's v* tags for a newer release
  and updates a git-checkout install (packaged installs get reinstall guidance).
• Self-locating kernel — the launcher finds the kernel relative to its own
  executable, so .app/zip/portable installs need no environment variable.
• tools/bundle.sh — assembles the .deb, macOS .app tarball, and Windows
  .zip; ships source (src, plugins, projects, modules) and resolves
  Composer dependencies on the target at install time (vendor/ not bundled).
  MODULES=git mode fetches path-repo modules from pinned commits instead.
• CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml) — PHPUnit + Zig cross-builds on push/PR to main.
• Release (.github/workflows/release.yml) — test-gated; builds all three
  OS bundles on Linux and publishes the GitHub release automatically.
• Self-hosted Zig toolchain fetch (tools/ci/setup-zig.sh) so CI is immune
  to upstream purging the pinned dev build.
• Kernel unit test suite (tests/Unit/Kernel/) — Identity, SecurityVerdict,
  FrameworkException/ValidationException, DependencyGraphCalculator, Request,
  Response (427 tests total, all green).

Changed

• Minimum PHP is now 8.4.1 (aligned with the actual Symfony 8 dependency);
  previously advertised as 8.2+.
• The kernel is packaged under /opt/hkm-kernel with hkm on PATH.

Fixed

• PSR-4 autoloading violations: split SeedCommands.php into one class per file
  and excluded path-loaded database/{seeders,migrations,factories} from the
  classmap.
• Registered the Cookie and Pageflow support helpers in Composer's files
  autoload so their global functions resolve.
• Added a tracked phpunit.xml.dist so CI finds the test configuration
  (phpunit.xml is gitignored).
• Windows cross-compilation: guarded POSIX-only raw-mode TTY code.

What's Changed

• Update PHP version requirement to 8.4 across various scripts by @hakrichTech in #4
