chore(release): 0.5.3

[olliegilbey]

What changed

Version bump to 0.5.3: workspace version, lockfile, README checkout line. Nothing else. The cut carries #273 (standby rows) and #271 (the live-set restore removal, the frames-off width flap fix, the remote QA drive).

Closes: n/a (release chore)

Risk class(es) from the taxonomy (tick all that apply — they are cumulative):

• Pure logic / model
• Generated artifacts
• CLI surface
• Cross-process / IPC
• Install / environment (release mechanics) → needs-live-validation
• Visual / UX

Verified automatically

Command	Result
cargo test --workspace	823 passed across all suites; 0 failed
cargo build -p clave-bar --target wasm32-wasip1	Finished
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings	Finished, no warnings

Class-specific evidence:

• Version strings only. clave release refuses a version that does not match the tag, so a wrong bump cannot install.
• The tree under the bump is the tree QA run 39 drove green on both machines: git diff --stat 84d9110 dd40505 is empty.
• The 0.5.3 binary reads a copy of the live Mac store (written by 0.5.2, which still knows the removed exited status): clave ls lists every row and exits 0.

Could NOT be verified, and why

The cut itself, and the switch from a running 0.5.2 fleet. Part B and Part C of docs/dev/RELEASE-RUNBOOK.md are the maintainer's.

Live steps for the maintainer

Mac:

1. Merge, then on main: git pull && git tag v0.5.3 && just release. Expected: the gate accepts the tag, and ~/.local/share/clave/bin/clave-v0.5.3 appears.
2. Quit clave with agents running, then launch it outside zellij. Expected: one tab for the most recent agent. The rows that were running show ◐. The rest show ○.
3. Alt+Down onto a ◐ row. Expected: it opens with no Alt+Enter, and it stays in its place in the list.
4. Alt+Enter on a ○ row. Expected: it opens and goes to the top.
5. On the go: git push origin v0.5.3.

Box (after step 5, because the box installs from the published release):

6. Run the release installer, then ~/.cargo/bin/clave setup, then box. Expected: the same as steps 2 to 4. The bar stays at one width, and Alt+c toggles once per press.

v0.5.3 live results (Part C)

Released and published: tag v0.5.3 at 1a14b84, release.yml green, four targets plus the installer.

Baseline before the cut (Mac): clave 0.5.2 from ~/.local/share/clave/bin/clave; doctor green apart from the known zellij 0.45.1 warning. A copy of the live 0.5.2 store read cleanly with the 0.5.3 binary (clave ls, exit 0).

Mac (just release, kill, cold launch):

• Doctor, the hooks and the generated config all name 0.5.3.
• The launch baked one tab for the most recent row. The bar held 48 columns, with no flap.
• Alt+Down onto the one standby row opened it in about 45 ms, in place, with no hop. Six more Alt+Downs moved between the two tabs cleanly.
• The maintainer confirmed the result by eye.

Box (the installer, clave setup, kill, box):

• Alt+c: five presses, five width swaps, no cooldown asks. The 47/48 pairs are the frames-off separator column that feat!: remove the live-set restore; fix the frames-off width flap; the remote QA drive #271 accepts.
• The launch baked one tab. It stamped seven rows standby. Arrivals opened two of them in place. The other five stay standby until the 24-hour expiry.
• Short "BIND STALLED" lines appeared at each new tab. Each cleared on the next frame.

Seen, not a defect: a tab opened inside the old 0.5.2 session after just release loaded the 0.5.3 bar beside the 0.5.2 bars, and showed double bars and a width flap. The runbook already expects this mixed state before the cold restart (Part B step 3). It did not happen in either new session.

No issues filed from this cut.
