v0.6.0

Breaking middleware API changes, new EventBus customization, feature-gated dependencies, and docs/examples cleanup.

Breaking Changes

• Middleware<A> → Middleware<S, A>: Middleware before() and after() now receive &S state reference. Update implementations: before(&mut self, action: &A, state: &S) -> bool, after(&mut self, action: &A, state_changed: bool, state: &S) -> Vec<A>
• DispatchResult<E> renamed to ReducerResult<E>: All references must be updated
• tracing and serde are now feature-gated in tui-dispatch-core: previously always-on dependencies, now require features = ["tracing"] or features = ["serde"]. LoggingMiddleware requires the tracing feature
• Action category inference: Did is now treated as a verb boundary in category inference, grouping intent and result actions under the same category. WeatherDidLoad is now category "weather" instead of "weather_did", matching WeatherFetch. This aligns macro behavior with documented semantics
• EventOutcome moved from runtime to bus module — import paths changed
• Debug formatting helpers renamed: ron_string → debug_string, ron_string_compact → debug_string_compact, ron_string_pretty → debug_string_pretty
• bitflags dependency removed from tui-dispatch-core

Added

• GlobalKeyPolicy for customizing which keys bypass modal blocking in EventBus: GlobalKeyPolicy::without_esc(), ::keys(), ::none(), ::custom(). New EventBus::with_global_key_policy() builder
• Middleware cancel/inject semantics: before() returns false to cancel an action; after() returns Vec<A> to inject follow-up actions through the full pipeline with recursion depth guard (MAX_DISPATCH_DEPTH)
• Minesweeper example demonstrating middleware cancel/inject patterns
• Facade prelude now exports SubPauseHandle, TaskPauseHandle, DefaultBindingContext, SimpleEventBus, and GlobalKeyPolicy

Fixed

• Middleware dispatch correctness: StoreWithMiddleware::dispatch() now aggregates return values from injected actions — previously it could return false even when injected actions changed state, suppressing re-renders
• Middleware recursion guard: Dispatch depth is now decremented after recursive injected dispatches complete, so MAX_DISPATCH_DEPTH correctly detects injection loops instead of being bypassed
• Same fixes applied to EffectStoreWithMiddleware

Removed

• Weather example (moved to dmk/tui-stuff)

Improved

• Keybindings matching and EventBus event routing performance
• Runtime event loop methods deduplicated (internal)

Docs

• Fixed broken internal doc anchors (#dispatchresult → #reducerresult, #bindingcontext → #keybindings)
• Fixed markdown-preview example docs showing removed run_with_bus() API — now shows actual DispatchRuntime::run() usage
• Removed stale "mdBook" reference from crate-level docs
• Converted core rustdoc examples from ignore to compile-tested (Store, EffectStore, crate-level example)
• Added Starlight docs site build to PR CI
