taurus v0.11.0

ONE parser architecture — flat subsystem DELETED (4479 lines removed)

direct_parse is now the sole XML parser. The entire flat/
subsystem (flat_parser, flat_promote, flat_doc, flat_fast,
flat_serialize, flat_xpath) is deleted. One parser, like pugixml.

Changes

• UTF-8 name support: Added CT_UTF8 flag to the shared
  chartype table for bytes >= 0x80. IS_NAME_CHAR and
  IS_NAME_START now include CT_UTF8, so UTF-8 multibyte names
  (<café>) scan without truncation.

• Close tag prefix:local fix: Close tag verification now
  strips the prefix from </ns:elem> before comparing with the
  open element's local name. This was a latent bug that surfaced
  when the flat_parser fallback was removed.

• Deleted flat subsystem (~4479 lines):

  • flat_doc.c/h, flat_parser.c/h, flat_promote.c/h,
    flat_fast.c/h, flat_serialize.c/h, flat_xpath.c/h
  • test/flat/ directory + test_flat_promote_line.cpp
  • benchmarks/flat/bench_flat_parse.c
  • flat_doc/flat_promoted fields from struct taurus_document
  • Flat fast-path checks in xpath_public.c and serialize.c

• taurus_parse calls direct_parse directly — no fallback chain.

• taurus_document_ensure_promoted is now a no-op chokepoint.

Architecture

• src/taurus/parse/ — empty (legacy parser deleted v0.10.0)
• src/taurus/flat/ — only direct_parse.c and direct_parse.h

One parser, one codebase, ~7500 lines of parser code removed across
v0.10.0 + v0.11.0.
