v0.1.0-alpha.2 — Post-launch dep + CI hygiene

[0.1.0-alpha.2] — 2026-05-21

Post-launch dependency and CI hygiene. No public-API changes; safe drop-in upgrade from 0.1.0-alpha.1.

Changed

• GitHub Actions dependencies bumped:
  • actions/checkout v4 → v6 (#1)
  • codecov/codecov-action v4 → v6 (#2)
• Cargo patch-updates group (#8):
  • macroquad 0.4.14 → 0.4.15 (used by myelon-pulse-vanity brand demo)
  • serde_json patch bump

CI infrastructure fixes (already in v0.1.0-alpha.1 tag, recorded here for completeness)

The first public push to main exposed several CI gaps that were patched before v0.1.0-alpha.1 was tagged. Listing them so the alpha.2 release notes are a complete snapshot of what's in CI today:

• Removed the broken duplicate ci.yml workflow (had env.RUST_MSRV in a job-level name: which Actions validation rejected; the focused per-gate workflows already cover its surface).
• actions/checkout now fetches submodules (submodules: recursive) in every workflow that runs cargo against the workspace. Required because competitive-bench has a path dep on the crossbar submodule.
• Excluded competitive-bench from main CI workflows (build_and_test.yml, lint.yml, dst.yml, test_coverage.yml). It pulls heavy C / C++ system deps (libbsd, libzmq, libboost, libopenmpi) that aren't worth installing on every PR for a crate that isn't published.
• Dropped the Miri job from build_and_test.yml; Miri rejects shm_open and mmap calls (unsupported operation: can't call foreign function). A properly-scoped Miri lane against pointer-math helpers is on the roadmap (Safety & quality gates Tier 2).
• Loosened the perf-bench::infra::output::log::test_overhead_is_low threshold from 1 µs to 5 µs to tolerate CI debug-build hardware variance; the steady-state release-mode cost is still ~2ns/op.
