v0.8.2 — capture-aware close approaches, backward-arc fix, citable releases

Fixes

  • Captured objects no longer report a close approach — and a meaningless
    linear impact probability — at every perigee of their bound orbit
    (minimoons such as 2020 CD3). Perigees now nest inside the capture
    event; close-approach records cover genuine flybys only.
  • Backward propagation arcs from an epoch inside a close encounter
    (e.g. an impactor fit hours before entry, 2008 TC3) are frame-
    consistent — pre-epoch arcs are no longer displaced by ~1 au.
  • Impact ground tracks report the impact's own surface coordinates
    instead of the sub-surface minimum of a straight-line extrapolation.
  • Opted-in stop conditions truncate output at the trigger epoch in both
    time directions.
  • The ephemeris-vs-reference validation gate compares in consistent
    units again and is back in the release gate.
