Release: weavegraph v0.4.0 — Final API Freeze

[Idleness76]

Summary

v0.4.0 is the final API freeze release. No new features — only removals, renames, and documentation finalization. The public API surface is now locked for v1.0.

Milestones

• 0.4.1 — Removed all deprecated items from 0.2.0/0.3.0: Message::new(), RuntimeConfig.checkpointer field + with_checkpointer() + checkpointer_type(), six legacy AppRunner constructors, LadderError type alias
• 0.4.2 — Removed llm = ["rig"] feature alias; rig is now the sole feature name
• 0.4.3 — Added DIAGNOSTIC_SCOPE const alongside STREAM_END_SCOPE
• 0.4.4 — Added examples/production_streaming.rs: full Axum + SSE + Postgres checkpointing reference, end-to-end tested against live Postgres
