v0.7.0

Changed

• Clarify that trusted raw SQL literals and retained exception chains may contain sensitive diagnostics.
• Record hosted candidate source provenance, the required remote CI result, and
  clarify that soak retained growth is measured per operation across timed
  samples.
• Recertify retained database and proxy fixtures across prepare/buffering modes, and add actual SQLite 3.39.2 execution with explicit upstream-maintenance guidance.
• Reuse required affected-row counts and avoid generated-ID metadata reads when observation is disabled, preserving write and failure semantics.
• Retain contextual eager and cursor row validation after review, avoiding an additional per-row error-factory interface.
• Centralize raw binding-list validation while retaining contextual diagnostics and validation order; bounded comparisons showed no repeatable actionable regression.
• Attempt ordinary statement cleanup once while preserving existing result, exception, observation and quarantine policies.
• Align active benchmark comparisons and changelog links with immutable v0.6.0.
• Bound the next release to correctness, existing resource contracts and retained
  compatibility targets, with independently validated delivery tasks.

Fixed

• Allow a well-defined plan-free post-release state and a previous-release
  benchmark baseline at release finalization, while stale development baselines,
  missing evidence-index release facts, and repeated workflow artifact labels
  still fail.
• Refactor release tooling, fixture registries and three condition guards
  for code health without behavior changes, with documented rule exceptions
  for certification tooling and fixture registries.
• Reject symbolic links disguised as ZIP directories during artifact certification.
• Pin the CI branch-coverage lane to stable Xdebug 3.5.3 so PHP 8.5 does not
  install an alpha coverage driver that misreports branch coverage.
• Fail benchmark comparisons only on repeatable candidate-operation regressions,
  retain direct-PDO and component control movement as non-blocking attribution
  evidence, and upload reports from failed comparison runs.
• Reject orphaned typed compiler cases that no feature manifest entry references.
• Reject missing, malformed and stale release facts, with an explicit published-version input for independent provenance checks.
• Reject failed SQLite busy-timeout reads instead of accepting them as a declared zero timeout.
• Preserve original callback exceptions when transaction-state inspection fails during recovery or rollback verification.
• Reject malformed named raw conditions and joins instead of silently discarding supplied operands.

Added

• Record local candidate quality, coverage, compatibility, artifact, security
  and required remote CI evidence.
• Certify Composer and Git archives with explicit contents, contamination checks, size budgets and independent no-dev installed consumers in CI.
• Cover combined bind/execute and cleanup failures, and verify eight selected binding, lifecycle and observation faults are detected by regressions.
• Validate complete typed compiler fixtures against executable case registries and per-dialect feature references, including explicit unsupported cases.
• Characterize caller-owned LOB streams in SQLite tests and execution probes, with guidance on position, reuse and structural snapshots.
