Zi v1.1.0

This backward-compatible milestone publishes the reviewed Zi promotion from next to main, the first GitHub release since v1.0.3.

Highlights

• Adds zi version, zi --version, and zi -V. Tagged checkouts report the exact tag, untagged checkouts report the abbreviated commit, and archives without Git metadata report unknown.
• Restores documented compatibility helpers, aliases, timing flags, and deterministic self-update behavior.
• Adds CMake-aware module builds, prebuilt module retrieval, and release-candidate asset discovery while retaining legacy fallback behavior.
• Adds deterministic public-contract impact reporting and expanded promotion validation.
• Modernizes repository CI, branch governance, and contribution guidance.

Compatibility and migration

No migration is required for supported usage. Runtime changes restore or preserve documented contracts, module changes retain fallback paths, and the removed PMSPEC letter X was unallocated with no identified consumer.

Validation

• Signed annotated tag: v1.1.0
• Exact source commit: a9605b42a715b16a7f2181740e2c6f0a8a0d2e46
• Zsh and version-reporting validation
• Trunk validation
• Reviewed promotion PR #398
