v0.1.0 — First public preview

First public preview of Cyclops Backup for Linux, Zorin and Ubuntu.

Includes explicit project/evidence setup, a desktop launcher, USB UUID selection, incremental checksum-based copying, retained deletions and previous versions, SHA-256 verification, readable/JSON reports, and recovery instructions. MIT licensed.

The release has a clean public history and contains no personal project registry, USB identities or private backup reports. Configure your own folders and USB before use.

Validation: 45 synthetic fixture checks, using real rsync/Git/hashing/sync. The full physical backup of a large project set has not yet been validated. This release is marked as a preview. Review estimates use size/mtime and can differ from checksum-based actual transfer.

Download the ZIP or tar.gz, extract it, install the system dependencies listed in README.md, then run python3 install.py. See README.md for terminal use and recovery. SHA256SUMS is attached for archive checks.
