Full Release Notes
Patch release. Fixes a crash on criteria values that are not plain strings.
## Fixed
**`noul` questions with structured criteria crashed.**
```python
agent.predict(state, {"is_phishing": {
"type": "noul",
"instructions": "Is this phishing?",
"criteria": {"true": {"desc": "phishing, scam or fraud"},
"false": {"desc": "legitimate"}}}})
# 0.2.0: TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "dict") to str
# 0.2.1: works, criteria render as JSON
```
`choice` and `score` did not crash but stringified dicts as **Python reprs** — `billing: {'desc': 'payments'}` went into the prompt instead of `billing: {"desc": "payments"}`.
**A criterion whose value was `0` or `False` was treated as missing.** The `choice` branch tested `if not v`, so those fell back to a bare key. Only `None` and `""` mean "no description" now.
Reported and originally fixed by **@trocker** in #2 — this release takes the `render_criterion` approach from that PR on its own, since #2 also carries a large amount of unrelated work.
## Added
`tests/test_criteria.py` — 29 regression tests: the reported crash, JSON rather than repr for dict/list/number criteria, `0`/`False` as real values, non-ASCII, unserialisable objects, and that plain-string criteria are untouched. Both suites now gate CI and releases.
