Open-source launch build. Closes the missing-implementation gap in 0.1.0a3
(CLI imported sponsio.daemon / sponsio.plugin.append_ops but the wheel
shipped without them) and tunes the bundled capability rules.

Added

• sponsio.daemon — Unix-socket IPC server + client + handlers; powers
  the privileged-process side of sponsio plugin append so a system install
  can give kernel-level (separate-UID) self-modify protection.
• sponsio plugin append — structurally-additive merge from a staging
  YAML into a host bucket library; the only blessed write path through the
  self-modify pack.

Changed

• Capability/shell pack — drop session-wide rate_limit(exec, 50) and
  loop_detection(exec, 20). The 24-hour cross-session trace store turned
  these into rolling caps that false-positived heavy interactive work; the
  targeted arg_blacklist and confirm-gate rules already cover the real
  attacks.
• Capability/self-modify pack — extend protection to the upstream
  sponsio package (contract bundles + engine .py) so an editable / --user
  / venv install can't be used as an "edit the bundle to silence the rule"
  bypass. Maintainer workflow: override with customized: {match: {source: "library:tier1.self-modify"}, disabled: true}.
• Onboard wizard — drop redundant trailing "mode flip" hint (axis 3
  already asks); language-aware bare-loop guard API hint
  (guardBefore/guardAfter for TS, guard_before/guard_after for Python).

Fixed

• sponsio --version was hardcoded to "0.2.0a0" in the Click
  version_option; now reads sponsio.__version__ so it tracks
  pyproject.toml automatically.
• 0.1.0a3 wheel was missing sponsio/daemon/ and sponsio/plugin/append_ops.py,
  causing sponsio plugin append and sponsio daemon … to ImportError on a
  fresh pip install. 0.1.0 ships them.
