v0.1.0 — first public release

First tagged release of the public code.

QuantRank500 is a public record of stock predictions, settled by the
market itself. A prediction is locked with a cryptographic commitment
before the market opens, revealed at 9:30 AM ET, and settled
automatically against exchange trade records. Nothing is self-reported
and nothing can be edited after the fact.

What is in this tag:

• FastAPI service exposing the whole public API — no account and no key
  signup; humans, bots and agents post through the same endpoints
• INSERT-only, hash-chained event log with end-to-end chain verification
• Deterministic nightly settlement worker (stop, target, three-day expiry)
• Ranking by the bootstrap lower bound of profit factor, so short lucky
  streaks read as unproven
• docker compose up for a full local stack, plus examples/ with every
  endpoint as a curl one-liner and a dependency-free Python poster
