CMesh v0.1.0 Linux RC2

CMesh v0.1.0 Linux RC2 is a Linux prerelease for hands-on validation of the Qwen distributed sliced execution lane.

What changed since RC1:

• Added Qwen adapter/catalog validation coverage and comparison reporting.
• Added AWS Qwen validation harnesses for 4-node distributed sliced tests.
• Fixed large stage-daemon decode responses by raising the client response cap from 1 MiB to 256 MiB.
• Added regression tests for empty, large, and panic stage-daemon decode responses.
• Validated Qwen2.5 32B real physical stage shards on 4 EC2 nodes through a single distributed decode step.

Validation status:

• Local Go test suite passed.
• Linux stable release signature smoke passed.
• Manager installer smoke passed.
• Worker installer smoke passed.
• Runtime smoke passed.
• Linux production launch gate passed.
• AWS worker test instances from the 32B validation run were terminated and cleaned up.

Known limitation:

• Qwen2.5 32B long multi-token distributed generation was progressing, but was stopped manually to control AWS cost before final completion. Do not present this RC as a completed 32B long-generation benchmark.
• Linux is the supported production test lane in this RC. macOS and Windows production installers remain follow-up work.
