FreeMicro 0.2.0

[0.2.0] - 2026-07-26

A batch of lighting and awareness features, plus a joystick fix.

Added

• Software blink effect. The firmware has no hard on/off flash (only the
  smooth breath), so FreeMicro blinks in software from the render tick. One
  Agent Key can blink error while the others stay solid. It is also the
  accessibility answer: a distinct effect per state is a redundant channel that
  does not depend on colour vision. freemicro lights --effect blink works too.
• Attention flash on entry (lighting.flash_on, default waiting/error): one
  brief pulse in the state's own colour when an element enters that state.
• Named themes (lighting.theme): factory, nord, solarized, and a
  high-contrast colourblind-safe palette that leans on distinct effects.
  Explicit per-state colours still win. Picker in the web UI.
• Battery cue (off by default): a configurable low-battery look composited
  over a zone. Reads the cached status file, never the vendor channel.
• Alerts (off by default): a system sound and a Notification Center banner
  on agent state transitions, so you are not blind when looking away.
  freemicro alerts --test.

Fixed

• The joystick no longer stops mid-hold. The pad falls silent while a
  direction is held steady (a 2.1s gap was measured with the stick deflected),
  and the 250ms stale-stop read that as a disconnect and froze the cursor. The
  window is now 4s, clear of the real gap; release is still instant.
