Highlights

• Tier-2 iOS simulator CI gate — release-packages.yml now waits on both Tests and Simulator Tests (iOS) green on the exact tag-commit SHA before publishing to brew / apt / npm. New await-tests job polls gh run list --commit <sha> every 30s with a 45-min deadline. Test workflow trigger extended to tags: ['v*'] so the Tests run actually exists on the tag. workflow_dispatch emergency-republish bypass preserved.
• Doc-examples test harness + cross-compile matrix — Every docs/examples/ snippet now compiles under CI against macOS / Linux / Windows (blocking) and iOS / tvOS / watchOS / Android / WASM / Web (advisory until baselines blessed, now blocking on macOS+Linux). Simulator runs use PERRY_UI_TEST_MODE=1 + self-exit timer for bundle-launches smoke signal.
• watchOS end-to-end — --target watchos[-simulator] compiles and bundles; adds --features watchos-game-loop (Metal surface) and --features watchos-swift-app (SwiftUI host) plus perry.nativeLibrary.targets.<plat>.metal_sources for .metallib bundling (closes #124).
• perry dev watch mode — New subcommand auto-recompiles on save (v0.5.143).
• perry/ui gap closure — alertWithButtons, string values in preferencesGet/Set, onTerminate / onActivate lifecycle hooks, and LazyVStack backed by NSTableView virtualization (v0.5.151).
