release: version 0.3.0

[Steel-tech]

Cuts 0.3.0 now that the publish feature and the renderer split have both landed. The unreleased changelog rolls into [0.3.0] — 2026-08-24:

Added

• PR-based harvest: the publish verb (p + slot digit in the pane, or harvest-step.sh publish <slot>) — plain push, never force, fork-point-ancestry-validated, audited-SHA refspec.

Changed

• Renderer split into renderer-shared / renderer-status / renderer-harvest behind the unchanged bin/renderer.mjs entrypoint (residual finding 4, closed on its stated trigger).

Fixed

• Status pane can no longer show a different agent's state on a slot row with a recorded terminal id.
• Harvest input masking spans whole multi-verb operations, closing an interleave race.
• Metadata-only manifest changes reset the status poll backoff.

herdr-plugin.toml and package.json bumped in lockstep; check-manifest passes; 237 tests green on both OSes.

As with 0.2.0: after merging, git tag -a v0.3.0 -m "Swarm 0.3.0" && git push origin v0.3.0 on the merge commit gives the marketplace a stable reference — I can't push tags from here.
