Miller v1.13.0

Miller v1.13.0 Release Notes

• Audience: Teams using Miller's cross-language bridge tracing (trace --mode bridge) between HTTP
  client call sites and backend route facts.
• Release shape: Feature release adopting julie-extractors v2.16.0. No MCP tool, artifact schema,
  contract-version, or index migration was added.
• Pinned extractor: julie-extract 2.16.0.

What Changed

Deferred HTTP client families bridge to backend routes

• julie-extract 2.16.0 completes the deferred HTTP-client lane: http.client_request.v1 facts now emit
  for Kotlin OkHttp, Retrofit, Spring WebClient, and RestTemplate; PHP Symfony HttpClient, cURL, and Guzzle
  request()/requestAsync(); Elixir Tesla, HTTPoison, Finch, and OTP :httpc; and Rust hyper and ureq.
• Miller's backend-http bridge provider is generic over the fact's client label, so these families join
  the 18 backend route families with no Miller-side special-casing.
• New live Scale coverage proves every deferred client individually: each client sits in its own fixture
  file and must produce a High verb-known bridge edge to a same-language route (Ktor, Symfony, Phoenix,
  axum), alongside the existing 12-client-language parity gate.

Windows CI coverage for live bridge tests

• The scheduled/dispatch windows-scale-smoke job now runs LiveBridgeTraceTests, so bridge path
  assertions (path separators, CRLF fixtures, extractor path emission) are exercised on Windows CI instead
  of only in manual pre-release verification.

Upgrade Notes

• Plugin manifests advertise version 1.13.0.
• The bundled extractor upgrades from 2.15.0 to 2.16.0 on all four release targets.
• Existing artifacts remain compatible because artifact schema 4, SQLite schema 4, extract contract 3, and
  report schema 3 are unchanged. Version-aware leadership performs the normal extractor-upgrade rescan.
• Residual extractor silences (instance/field client receivers, Tesla middleware base URLs, Elixir alias
  resolution) are recorded upstream as open_gaps in the julie-extractors capabilities contract.

Verification

• Pre-release gate: clean Release build with 0 warnings/errors, fast suite passed, Scale suite passed
  against the real julie-extract 2.16.0 binary, and green push CI including the Windows fast job (2.16.0
  restore + pin-guarded build) plus a dispatched Windows scale smoke running the live bridge tests.
• Live package and release verification: recorded in the docs/findings/ release-verification note for
  this version after publication.
