Go relayer release candidate
This candidate replaces the TypeScript relayer and external Rust header encoder with a Go binary. It includes backlog-aware header upkeep, exact receipt recovery, history-backed expired-intent recovery, and funded header-account handling.
Existing JSON configuration, Solana keypair files, Compose command and persistent state mounts are retained. Stop the previous relayer, preserve the complete state directory and key/config mounts, then change OPERATOR_IMAGE to ghcr.io/akash-network/akt-relayer:0.2.0-rc0 and recreate the container. Do not run both versions with the same payer.
Validation: 2,089 source test/subtest passes with race checks and TypeScript state interoperability; focused local Solana header and expiry recovery scenarios passed. The remaining full local Akash/Solana/reporters E2E continuation was canceled at the operator's request and did not complete. This is a release candidate, not a claim of complete E2E or mainnet acceptance. CI build, package and container checks are recorded separately.
Linux amd64 image: ghcr.io/akash-network/akt-relayer:0.2.0-rc0. No contract addresses, chain deployments or reporter releases are changed by this release.
Release CI passed: Go build/race tests, archive checks, Docker and Compose checks. The public Linux amd64 image was pulled and its version/commit verified with networking disabled.
