CodeMender updates (v0.8.0)

This release introduces updates to CodeMender:

• Gemini 3.8 Flash default: Gemini 3.8 Flash (gemini-3.8-flash) is now supported and enabled as the default model for CodeMender CLI sessions, delivering faster inference and improved reasoning. A one-time notice in the CLI informs users when the new default is active.
• Tool payload guardrails: Introduced safe output limits for file reading (2 MiB) and codebase grep search (512 KiB) with centered match context windows, eliminating payload overflow errors and improving stability during large repository scans.
• Bug fixes:
• Fixed an issue where shell detection and command execution on Windows could fail during repository resets and exploit verification when Git Bash was installed in standard registry or non-PATH locations.
• Fixed an issue in cm verify where verified findings could report "not found" or fail to persist confidence and status upon session completion or resumption.
• Fixed syntax errors in generated verification scripts caused by invalid regex escaping in grep assertions during cm verify.
• Prevented HTTP 409 lease conflict errors during long-running sessions by ensuring streaming HTTP connections are promptly released.
