editorial:auto 1mo

Version v0.8.9.0 fixes PostgreSQL installation support and several progress‑display bugs; it also removes regex from TSON v2.0.

Why it matters: The release addresses a critical install bug for PostgreSQL (severity 40) and corrects two progress‑output issues, while its breaking change—dropping regex in TSON v2.0—carries high severity 80 and will affect any code using that feature.
