## What's New

### Framework-neutral library contract

Chirp UI now exposes an importable package contract for host frameworks and
static-site generators. Consumers can discover the template root, static asset
root, ordered CSS and JavaScript entries, manifest path, and runtime metadata
without hardcoding package internals.

Use `chirp_ui.get_library_contract()` or `chirp_ui.LIBRARY_CONTRACT` when a
host needs to wire Chirp UI into its own asset pipeline.

### Chirp theme migration

The packaged Bengal `chirp-theme` now routes much more of its default output
through Chirp UI-native templates, assets, and content surfaces. The release
adds or rebuilds taxonomy pages, learning pages, shortcodes, autodoc and
OpenAPI reference templates, utility pages, and theme docs around Chirp UI
composition primitives.

This release also removes a large amount of dormant copied theme CSS in favor
of the current Chirp UI contracts.

### Kida 0.9 adoption and safety checks

The Kida dependency floor is now `kida-templates>=0.9.0`. Chirp UI uses Kida's
literal attribute and static analysis APIs for manifest extraction, privacy
linting, and trusted-markup escape audits.

A new `uv run poe escape-audit` task prints the Kida-backed trusted-markup
inventory for shipped macros.

## Upgrade Notes

This is a minor release because it adds public integration metadata and raises
the Kida floor.

- Hosts that inspect package internals should move to
  `chirp_ui.get_library_contract()`.
- Environments must install `kida-templates>=0.9.0`.
- Bengal theme consumers should expect the default theme to emit more Chirp
  UI-native markup and fewer legacy copied CSS surfaces.

## Verification

Release prep passed:

- `uv run poe ci`
