v0.16.3

0.16.3 - 2026-09-13

• Honor configured embedding request timeouts with caller-supplied HTTP clients without mutating those clients; retain shorter client and context deadlines.
• Preserve literal systemd command arguments and executable names; reject executable-path characters that systemd cannot load.
• Preserve file and SQLite capture contents when MaxFileBytes is the maximum signed 64-bit value; keep overflow-free bounded reads for growing sources.
• Read and repair long scheduler history records without blocking later runs or status checks.
• Publish changes to zero-row backup counter keys while reusing unchanged encrypted shards.
• Apply private permissions before overwriting existing controller configurations.
• Allow explicit controller configuration paths without a home directory while preserving default and tilde-path validation.
• Refresh indirect test and generator dependencies: pprof, x/exp, x/tools v0.50.0, and modernc/cc v4.29.7 while preserving SQLite's required libc version.
• Run the same validation gates locally and in Linux CI, including formatting, and cancel superseded automatic CI runs.
