Full Release Notes

- Tarball downloads are now the default, with SSH fallback on failure.
- Public remotes now prefer HTTPS; explicit SSH sources still use SSH.
- The JavaScript git backend is bundled for HTTPS ref discovery; SSH/private repos still need system `git`.
- The published package no longer includes sourcemaps, so the tarball is smaller.
