0.9.10

Re-release of the 0.9.9 changes with a correctly built dist. (0.9.9 was published from a stale dist and shipped none of the code below; a prepublishOnly build guard now prevents this.)

Added

• Added a unified kernel journal: one append-only, absolutely-ordered log (a single sequence counter) of every kernel-observed transaction — filesystem writes, process exec/exit, and HTTP requests — emitted only from kernel-internal observation points, so in-workspace code cannot forge entries and every event is attributed by actor/pid. Authorization is stored as a non-reversible fingerprint (never the raw value), and externalHttp responses may attach an opaque annotation. The journal is exposed both live on the workspace event stream (kernel-journal events, ordered consistently with buffered output) and as a queryable journal(sinceSeq?) snapshot. HTTP journal records additionally carry redacted grading metadata: idempotency-key and request/response body fingerprints, plus Content-Type, Retry-After, and X-RateLimit-* values.
• Added a virtual-network host registry (resolveHost) and a ping reachability command: loopback, in-workspace HTTP listeners, and externalHttp-allowlisted hosts all resolve through one primitive with deterministic, hash-derived synthetic IP and latency (no wall clock or RNG). ping produces ping-shaped output and fails gracefully with an unknown-host error instead of a raw kernel throw.

Changed

• Unified host reachability across curl, ping, and workspace.http.request through resolveHost: an unknown host now returns a typed EHOSTUNREACH (rendered by curl as exit 7, "Host unreachable") rather than leaking a raw kernel error, while a known host with a closed port still returns ECONNREFUSED; host allowlist/blocklist policy is unchanged. Also corrected the diagnostic port reported for failed HTTPS connections.
• Optimized C++ and C# batch execution: test cases that are safe to co-execute now share a single compile-and-run pass, with an automatic per-case fallback when a batch requires isolation.
• Added true C++ browser trace batching: multi-case trace requests now compile once, run the traced batch driver once, and split trace events back into per-case runtime traces. Benchmarks showed trace batching stays in the same compile-bound envelope as plain C++ batch execution instead of paying one compile per case.

Fixed

• Fixed curl URL scheme resolution and replaced raw kernel HTTP errors with typed ones so nothing leaks to the terminal: bare hostnames, host:port, and localhost:3000 now resolve correctly, unsupported schemes return a proper curl protocol error, and malformed requests surface as graceful curl diagnostics instead of a raw EINVAL.
