Release v0.2.5

Highlights

• Richer HTTP workflows: df.http_multipart() sends form and file uploads, while HTTP nodes preserve binary responses as base64 with an explicit encoding field.
• Audio round-trip example: chains Azure OpenAI text-to-speech output directly into a Whisper multipart transcription request.
• Independent starts: df.start(..., transaction_mode => 'new') commits on a separate session, allowing asynchronously started work to survive a caller rollback.
• Direct HTTP result access: response fields such as $resp.body, $resp.status, $resp.ok, and $resp.encoding work with dot notation.

Reliability

• Nested and non-root df.loop() workflows that previously failed now execute and restart correctly, with consistent df.break() behavior.
• Workers can connect when PGHOST names a Unix-socket directory.

Upgrade Notes

Drain in-flight work before upgrading when continuity is required. JOIN/RACE branches started on v0.2.4 will fail on replay, and in-flight loops may fail. See docs/upgrade-testing.md for details.
