v0.1.1 — Fail-fast API key validation

What's changed

• Fail fast at startup when no Anthropic API key is configured. Previously, a missing key would only surface on the first actual API call — potentially deep in a request, in production, after deploy. Now AnthropicAutoConfiguration checks both the configured anthropic.api-key property and the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN environment variables at application startup, and throws immediately with an actionable error message if neither is present.
• The check goes through Spring's Environment abstraction rather than raw System.getenv(), so it still honors the SDK's normal env var fallback while remaining fully unit-testable (no real OS env var manipulation required).
• Two new tests covering both the failure case and the legitimate env-var-only configuration case.

Full Changelog: v0.1.0...v0.1.1

v0.1.0 — Initial release

First release of the Anthropic Spring Boot Starter — auto-configuration for the Anthropic Java SDK, so a Spring Boot app gets a configured AnthropicClient and a chat convenience bean with zero manual wiring.

What's included

• Auto-configuration — AnthropicClient and AnthropicChatService beans, activated automatically when the SDK is on the classpath, driven by anthropic.* properties
• AnthropicChatService — a thin convenience wrapper for the common "send a prompt, get text back" case; the raw AnthropicClient bean is still available for tool use, streaming, vision, etc.
• Standard Spring Boot conventions — @ConditionalOnClass, @ConditionalOnMissingBean, @ConfigurationProperties, so it composes cleanly with the rest of your app's configuration
• Sample app (anthropic-spring-boot-sample) — a minimal working Spring Boot app with a /api/chat endpoint
• Full test suite, CI via GitHub Actions, JitPack support
