Simulated Ape 0.711

ApeSDK 0.711

ApeSDK 0.711 refreshes the Simulated Ape release line with the current engine identity, macOS packaging, and documentation pointers aligned around the new version. The user-facing Simulated Ape application remains the primary release artifact: the sim-mac target was built in Release configuration for both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, ad-hoc signed, and packaged as separate DMG downloads.

This release is mainly a consistency and release-readiness pass rather than a large behavioral change. The core C version constants now report Simulated Ape 0.711 and VERSION_NUMBER 711, the macOS Xcode marketing version matches 0.711, and the deterministic unit test expectations were updated to protect the new version boundary. The README, release checklist, book overview, first chapter, release chapter, and Simulated Universe bridge handshake defaults were also brought forward to the 0.711 identity so source readers, generated fixtures, and release consumers see the same value.

Validation for the release included the full deterministic ./test.sh suite, Apple Silicon and Intel Release builds of toolchains/sim-mac, architecture checks for both app binaries, source archive creation, and SHA-256 checksums for the release artifacts.
