v0.4.5 — Documentation hygiene, theme polish, CI billing conservation

2026-06-10 · No public API changes, no behavior changes — every importable symbol behaves identically to v0.4.4.

Documentation hygiene

The concepts further-study page is a focused list of topics nSTAT does not implement (population geometry & dimensionality reduction, deep-learning encoders/decoders, spike sorting, vendor-format I/O), with primary references for each. A longer prior version is replaced. All concepts-page content (microelectrode recordings, point-process GLMs, time-rescaling KS, decoding, state-space EM, rhythmic firing, etc.) is unchanged.

Theme + gallery polish

Onboarding polish

CI billing conservation

Five workflows that were previously running on every push are now workflow_dispatch-only on this repository: performance-parity, notebook-full-fidelity, helpfile-check, readme-check, and nstat-pip-install. The unit test, docs build, data-integrity, notebook-smoke, and cleanroom-compliance gates still run automatically on every PR. A new make ci-local target runs the same check set against the working tree before a push. (PR #144)
