Key Highlights

Pluggable pipeline architecture for vectorization stages
Mosaic mode for true seam-free tessellation
New Node.js package with wasm core
Rewritten Python bindings with richer API

Breaking Changes

Workspace restructured into core, CLI, and Python crates
CLI upgraded from clap 2.x to 4.x
`filter_speckle` cap raised from 16 to 128

New Features

Pluggable frontend, color fitting, and optimizer stages
SVG optimizer for relative paths and precision reduction
Node.js package support
CLI accepts positional input/output arguments

Full Release Notes

Ground-up rewrite of VTracer into a **vectorization framework** with pluggable stages.

### Added

* Pluggable pipeline: swappable frontend (segmentation), color fitting (incl. custom palettes), curve-fitting backend, and an optimizer pass phase.
* **Mosaic mode**: true seam-free, gapless tessellation via shared boundary-graph tracing (pixel, polygon, and spline fitters), replacing the old "cutout" that produced seams.
* SVG optimizer: relative path syntax, shorthand commands, and coordinate-precision reduction for smaller files.
* `@visioncortex/vtracer` Node.js package (npm): wasm core with a native image reader.
* Rewritten Python bindings (`vtracer-py`) with a richer API; pyo3 bumped to 0.26 (fixes CPython 3.14 segfaults, #124).
* CLI accepts positional `input`/`output` arguments (#114).

### Changed

* Workspace restructured into `crates/vtracer` (core lib), `crates/vtracer-cli`, `crates/vtracer-py`, and `nodejs/`.
* CLI upgraded from clap 2.x to 4.x (#118).
* `filter_speckle` CLI cap raised from 16 to 128, matching the web app (#115).
* Depends on `visioncortex` 0.9.
* Python wheel CI now runs only on release tags and manual dispatch, not on every commit.
