Release Aether 0.875.0 · aether-lang-dev/aether

What's new in 0.875.0

contrib/host/stunt no longer reports "refused" when nothing refused.
Several checks counted an outcome as a sandbox refusal that was not one,
so a sandbox failing open could pass: ENOSYS from syscall() (the
preload's answer when its grants never applied), any host-function error
(a missing fixture, a failed read, a nil getenv, no such function), an
unset HOME in getenv-home and env-cached, and EPERM at connect()
(a firewall's drop, not the sandbox's). A host error is now a refusal only
when its reason starts refused:, a missing variable only with evidence
it was withheld, and a connect only on EACCES; the rest are errors. The
connect checks go to TEST-NET-1 (192.0.2.1) instead of 1.1.1.1, so a
Linux make ci no longer sends SYNs to Cloudflare. A new fork-only policy
tests the execve refusal itself (until now the fork was refused first),
dlopen-libm runs as the control for the dlopen rows, silent,
half-frame and spin can no longer outlive a broken host, a missing
libaether_sandbox.so on Linux is a [SKIP] (a failure on GitHub), and
the scripts build only when a check applies. Thanks to Nic for the review
of #3513.
