v1.0.0: Suture — Semantic Merge for Structured Files

The stable release

Suture is a version control system that understands your file formats. It performs semantic merge on JSON, YAML, TOML, CSV, XML, Markdown, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX — where Git would produce false conflicts.

What's new since rc.1

Documentation & Adoption

• README rewrite with visual merge diagram and audience guide
• Comparison page: Suture vs Git vs Pijul vs Darcs vs Mercurial
• 60-second demo: try semantic merge right now
• VS Code extension scaffold: 3 commands, terminal integration

Polish

• Human-readable CLI errors with actionable hints
• WASM plugin soundness fix (Box::leak)
• WASM stubs now return honest errors instead of silent empty results

Ecosystem

• GitHub Action: configurable fail-on-conflict and file-patterns inputs
• Better PR comment table with format column and color-coded badges

Quick start
