0.1.0-rc3

• Updated WordPress release matrix to WordPress 6.9.5 and 7.0.3 (security patch for CVE-2026-60137 and CVE-2026-63030), and added scheduled monitoring for WordPress 7.1 RC.
• Updated third-party compatibility smoke fixtures to WooCommerce 11.0.0, Yoast SEO 28.2, Easy Digital Downloads 3.6.9, and added Query Monitor 4.0.7 interoperability verification.
• Updated controlled benchmark backend image to Redis 8.10.0-alpine and validated backend compatibility on Valkey 9.
• Registered the immutable 0.1.0-rc2 drop-in checksum in the lifecycle ownership registry and updated packaged lifecycle upgrade/rollback E2E testing for RC2 → RC3.
• Relaxed $force parameter type declaration on get() and get_multiple() to match WordPress core permissive contract, verified $found disambiguation for cached false vs miss, and added multisite blog-scoping tests.
• Optimized persistent cache read allocations by returning freshly decoded value objects directly instead of performing a double object clone.
• Unified server topology classification into a single Topology helper shared across Api and Site Health diagnostics, and centralized SCHEMA_MARKER in KeySpace..
• Pruned dead test-only helper methods (del_multiple, pttl, cached_server_info, supports_unlink, group_tokens), collapsed pipeline SET execution, and eliminated reflection-based new Redis() calls in diagnostics.
• Updated release documentation, controlled performance evidence job names and artifact labels, and release tooling for 0.1.0-rc3.
