Alpha release

cadence-diff 0.2.0a1 is an Alpha for representative analyst testing. It does not replace the stable 0.1.1 release.

pip install --pre 'cadence-diff==0.2.0a1'

Review-first analyst workbench with semantic pattern groups, typed evidence axes, change stories, searchable history, and bulk archive/export controls.
Materiality and temporal-context evidence, typed Expected reasons, formula-wrapper recognition, intrinsic workbook risks, and corrected alignment/structural event semantics.
Compact dependency indexing, workload safeguards, findings budgets before enrichment, and a persistent single-worker queue with reconnect, cancellation, crash, and orphan handling.
Optional sheet/slide comparison scope and visible analyst acceptance thresholds.
Cross-platform XLSB formula enrichment with fail-closed presence-only fallback; includes the Windows Excel calculation-mode compatibility repair found during the live pilot.

Source Office files remain read-only.
Atomic JSON schema v1, finding identities, history, Re-QC, and attestation evidence remain compatible.
v0.1.0 and v0.1.1 remain immutable.
PyPI marks this package as Development Status :: 3 - Alpha; unqualified pip install cadence-diff continues to select the latest stable release.

Restricted corporate Windows/Excel Formula2 parity, DACL, cleanup, and policy validation continues after this release. Adapter failures remain visibly degraded and never claim a semantic pass.
Representative deliverable tuning continues.
PowerPoint rendered-visual comparison and the optional Windows desktop/watch/tray roadmap are not included.
