0.1.1 - 2026-05-07

Fixed

• Cache restore now works: cache hits actually restore output files from blob storage instead of being a no-op stub.
• Environment variables in cache keys: CC, CXX, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc. are now included in action keys, preventing stale cache hits after compiler flag changes.
• State machine enforcement for NodeState, SessionState, ConnectionState, and WatcherState — invalid transitions are now rejected at compile time or logged at runtime.
• Removed panic! in production path in cache server handler.
• BuildLog::save now resets the dirty flag after successful writes.
• Blocking NNG calls moved off the async runtime via tokio::task::spawn_blocking.
• Admin tools no longer unwrap JSON serialization.
• handle_query deduplication in daemon server.

Added

• Homebrew formula available via brew tap neul-labs/tap.
• Pre-built binaries for macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon) and Linux (x86_64 & aarch64).
• NPM wrapper for global installation via npm install -g rninja-cli.
• PyPI wrapper for installation via pip install rninja-cli.
