Highlights

This release completes the removal of the cardano-api dependency from the wallet, introducing wallet-owned types and ledger-native transaction builders. It also bumps cardano-node to 11.0.1 and the Nix GHC compiler pin to 9.12.3, and hardens the release pipeline with artifact smoke tests and corrected asset/docker tag naming.
