// recent changes

2027-04-10addintroduce frame deploy --canary for staged rolloutsAdds a `--canary` flag to the deploy command that progressively shifts traffic from the old build to the new one in five steps with health-check gates between each step.
2027-04-04fixresolve hang in hot reload when workspace contains unicode pathsThe watcher used naive UTF-8 normalisation. We now use canonical normalisation everywhere, which fixes the reported macOS issue.
2027-03-28breakrename `frame init --template` to `frame init --kit`Migration: replace `--template` with `--kit` in any scripts. The old flag still works for one release and emits a deprecation note.
2027-03-15addpublish first stable plugin SDK (v1.0)Includes the IR builder, the registration API, the test harness and a sample plugin.
