patent v0.5.0

patent 0.5.0 adds interactive search, a Homebrew source adapter, and a config file.

Highlights

Interactive search mode. Run patent with no arguments to get a search prompt inside the TUI. Type an idea, see results, press n to search again without restarting. No need to leave the terminal between searches.

New source: Homebrew. Searches both formulae and casks from the Homebrew catalog, bringing the total to 12 sources. Automatically selected for queries mentioning cli, brew, macos, or cask.

Config file. Store model, api_base, and api_key in ~/.config/patent/config.toml instead of passing flags every time. Environment variables (PATENT_MODEL, PATENT_API_BASE, PATENT_API_KEY) work too. Precedence: CLI flag > env var > config file > built-in default.
