Every release, in order

Fixes a real bug where sudo npm install -g devforgekit (root-owned global npm prefix, common on Linux/WSL2 with a system-managed Node.js) could leave the CLI permanently broken on first run - a self-heal fallback mirror now recovers automatically. Real, evidence-only platform certification: macOS (Apple Silicon), Ubuntu, and Debian are certified via full real-hardware/real-container lifecycle testing; Fedora, Arch, and Intel Mac are expected to work but not yet certified (recorded honestly, not assumed). See docs/PlatformSupport.md in the repository for the evidence behind every claim.

Promotes v3.0.1-rc1 to stable after real-world verification: npm and Homebrew distribution, a clean rc-validate run, and dogfooding on a real machine turned up no release-blocking issues. No code changes since v3.0.1-rc1; see that entry below for the full release-engineering changelog.

Release engineering: distribution channels and the release process, plus the verification work that preceded them. npm install -g devforgekit is now a real, verified install path with a self-healing dispatcher. brew install nouradinabdurahman/devforgekit/devforgekit ships via a dedicated tap, verified with a real install/test/uninstall cycle. Shell completions (bash/zsh/fish) generated from the CLI's real command tree. A devforgekit doctor --release-check gate and devforgekit rc-validate command verify every distribution channel against real artifacts before any tag is cut. Preceded by a real security audit (shell-injection, tar zip-slip, TOCTOU fixes), a full Command Safety Audit, a Backward Compatibility Matrix (228 --help invocations, 69 missing-argument error paths, a full --json validity sweep), and an API Freeze classifying every command, schema, and output format Stable, Experimental, or Internal.

Production-ready first public release. Added CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, PR template, and dependabot CLI monitoring. Cleaned up placeholder assets and broken image references.

An interactive install wizard (Minimal/Recommended/Full/Custom) with real download-size estimates, heavy-package warnings, and category descriptions. Installs continue past a failed package and resume where they left off. A real post-install verification actually runs devforgekit commands instead of just checking files. Plus a full devforgekit uninstall command and devforgekit repair install for fixing the CLI's own install.

Comprehensive audit: cross-platform language, command reference completeness, keyboard shortcuts, theme list, AI/TUI/CLI docs, and version consistency. No new features.
