Crona v1.9.0-beta.8

Crona v1.9.0-beta.8 makes daemon failures easier to diagnose and keeps the local runtime alive when an individual worker panics.

Production daemon logs now preserve the complete lifecycle instead of truncating the log file on each write.
Startup and shutdown records include daemon identity, protocol version, uptime, and shutdown cause.
Signal-driven termination records retain whether the daemon received SIGINT or SIGTERM.
Panics in daemon-owned IPC, scheduler, update, and notification workers are captured with stack traces rather than silently taking down the process.
Logger write failures are surfaced through stderr so missing diagnostics are visible.

The docs site now has a dedicated API Reference with focused pages for transport, runtime, work management, focus and wellbeing, exports and settings, and events.
The previous Socket API URL remains available as a compatibility overview.

The local IPC protocol remains at 1.5. This release does not require a storage migration.
