v0.7.0

Release notes from CHANGELOG.md for @async/flow@0.7.0 (2026-06-24).

Breaking Changes

• status(...) now creates a live signal-based status ref. Use
  defineStatus(...) when a pure declaration object is required.
• Removed the root statusHelper export.
• Removed status from @async/flow/define; use defineStatus(...).
• Removed Flow instance and receiver availability methods. Use imported
  can(flow, eventName).get() or can(receiver, eventName).get().
• Removed Flow instance and receiver description methods. Use imported
  inspect(flow) or inspect(receiver).
• Removed private _describe receiver metadata. Helper inspection and status
  inference now use the FLOW_INSPECT symbol.
• Renamed public metadata and ref discriminator fields from kind to type.
• transition("name", rules) now requires a Flow store argument or
  symbol-branded Flow receiver. It no longer falls back to any object with a
  store property.
• Standalone transitions are now branded with
  STANDALONE_TRANSITION = Symbol.for("@async/flow.standaloneTransition").
• after(ms, callback, input?) now creates a standalone cancellable timer
  helper branded with STANDALONE_AFTER = Symbol.for("@async/flow.standaloneAfter").
• dispatch("event", payload?) now creates a proxy-backed reusable sender
  branded with STANDALONE_DISPATCH = Symbol.for("@async/flow.standaloneDispatch").
• dispatch(target, "event", payload?) now dispatches immediately to Flow,
  DOM, emitter, and sender-style targets.
• can(...), matches(...), set(...), update(...), dispatch(...), and
  boolean helpers now prefer live ref behavior when passed signal, status,
  computed, Flow, or standalone refs.
