Release candidate

Prepare the second public release candidate of ebus-evidence.

Version

0.1.0rc2

This PR only changes the two canonical version locations:

• pyproject.toml;
• src/ebus_evidence/__init__.py.

The existing version-consistency test must keep both aligned.

Public changes since rc1

Raw-log transport hardening

• request/master CRC validation;
• response CRC validation;
• ACK/NAK handling;
• complete transaction framing;
• fail-closed handling for truncated/retry-shaped records;
• narrow compatibility for the current ebusd message-mode omitted-command-ACK logger artefact tracked as Message-mode raw log drops slave ACK 00 when ebusd's own request ends with wire byte 00 john30/ebusd#1800.

The transport hardening was independently exercised against the same 4,818,571-line static real-world dataset. The final #28 run recovered exactly the affected 3,212 ebusd-initiated logger-artifact transactions while leaving established Evidence unchanged.

Bundle and local-input robustness

• bounded nesting depth and structure size;
• cyclic/repeated container rejection;
• controlled recursion failure handling;
• the same structural protection now applies to local state, context metadata, custom/local profiles and local system identity files.

Beginner/install reliability

• existing healthy virtualenvs are reused;
• recognizable broken virtualenvs are recreated safely;
• unexpected .venv paths are never deleted automatically;
• runtime data survives virtualenv recovery.

Release and contributor validation

Current CI now exercises:

• Python 3.11;
• Python 3.12;
• Python 3.13;
• Python 3.14;
• built sdist/wheel package smoke;
• beginner installation/workflow smoke;
• separate fresh-contributor checkout smoke.

The required beginner-flow merge gate also requires both release-smoke prerequisites to have completed successfully.

Scope

No new Evidence semantics, profile checks or heating-system behaviour are introduced by this release-preparation PR.

The existing v0.1.0rc1 tag must remain unchanged.
