chore: prepare v0.1.0 for release

[ejames-dev]

Summary

• Prepare package version 0.1.0 and update the lockfile without changing dependency pins.
• Add the user-selected MIT license and modern package license metadata; raise the Setuptools build minimum to 77.0.3 for that metadata.
• Add release notes and an evidence-backed release-readiness checklist.
• Include license/changelog/lockfile/checklist in source archives and add installed-wheel CI checks on Python 3.11–3.13.
• Link the newly published user wiki and add package project URLs.

Scope and safety

• Runtime code, tests, and runtime dependencies are unchanged.
• Existing offline, evidence-interpretation, and non-overwrite boundaries remain intact.
• This PR does not create a tag, GitHub release, or PyPI publication. Those require separate approval.
• The repository description was separately corrected to reflect inspection, comparison, and reporting.

Verification

• 50 unittest tests pass on Python 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13.
• Pytest: 50 tests and 125 subtests pass. Ruff format/lint pass.
• Wheel and source archive build with version 0.1.0 and the MIT license.
• Archive contents include required docs/examples/tests/lock and exclude private data directories.
• Extracted source archive installs with the lockfile and passes all 50 tests.
• Installed wheel outside checkout passes help, invalid-argument, inspect, compare, no-change, report-byte, timeout, and existing-note protection checks.
• Installed-code comparison passes with network entry points disabled.
• Exact new CI shell step passes locally. Installed environment passes uv pip check.
• pip-audit/PyPI reports no known vulnerabilities in the seven checked locked Linux runtime/dev dependencies; no fixes applied.
• Self-review complete; independent reviewer tools unavailable. This is not a comprehensive independent security audit.
