v0.1.0 Release Notes
What changed
Initial clean public core for Fractalish research queries.
The package provides a small CLI/API that searches public metadata providers, ranks exact keyword matches, preserves provenance through dedupe, labels candidate relationships conservatively, and writes reproducible JSON/Markdown receipts.
