LingTai kernel v0.16.1

Highlights

• Summarize/rebuild semantics are explicit: public system(action="summarize", rebuild=true), pending/done summary markers, 1.0 hard forced-rebuild boundary, 0.75 proactive hint, and 0.6 recovery target.
• Token/context/runtime guidance improvements: restored token usage accounting, clearer token usage layout/scope, refresh context rebuild opt-in, and compact daemon identifiers.
• Reliability fixes across runtime edges: streamed tool-call argument fallback logging, JSONL close race fix, empty-response usage handling, max-AED clamp behavior, atomic chat-history writes, inquiry cleanup, logger cleanup, and preset default persistence.
• Communication/addon/security polish: Telegram dynamic slash commands, WeChat filename sanitization, email schedule docs cleanup, lifecycle/nirvana and gitignore/secrets safeguards, and NoKV workbench MCP example/metadata validation.
