BREAKING CHANGES

• 'c8ctl feel eval' is now 'c8ctl feel evaluate'. No
  backwards-compat alias — the verb's other subcommands (apply, info,
  get-properties, lint, ...) all use full words; eval was the only
  abbreviation.

The one-time 'feelin doesn't support all Camunda FEEL extensions'
runtime warning is gone — the same caveat lives in the verb's
helpDescription and in the LOCAL_HINT shown when cluster failures
suggest --engine local, so users see it where it's actionable
(during help / on cluster errors) instead of as noise on every
local-engine run.
