AI Summary

This release focuses on stability and performance, fixing a critical crash issue in replica effects and optimizing graph loading speed.

Key Highlights

Fixes SIGSEGV crash in replica effects when diverging from the primary.
Improves loading speed by rebuilding transpose matrices incrementally instead of forcing full sync.
Exports new public APIs for graph-offloading to manage encoding versions.

New Features

New public APIs: Graph_EncodingVersion and Graph_GetDecoder for external modules.

Full Release Notes

## What's Changed

### Bug Fixes
* fix(effects): stop replica SIGSEGV on UPDATE_EDGE/UPDATE_NODE divergence - replicas no longer crash when an effect references a node or edge that no longer exists locally; the mismatch is now detected and triggers a full resync instead (#2581)

### Performance
* remove full sync from decoder - transpose matrices are rebuilt incrementally as delta-matrix components are set during RDB decoding instead of forcing a full sync at the end, speeding up loading of persisted graphs (#2584)

### Improvements
* serializers: export Graph_EncodingVersion and Graph_GetDecoder - new public APIs let external modules (e.g. graph-offloading) stamp dumps with their encoding version and select the matching decoder on load (#2552)
