ProjTLauncher 0.0.4-2

We are excited to announce the official release of ProjT Launcher: version 0.0.4-2.

This release is a structural consolidation and infrastructure refinement update following the 0.0.4-1 transition.
It focuses on stabilizing versioning logic, modernizing CI workflows, unifying documentation under a single handbook, and improving project automation policies.

User-facing behavior remains unchanged, while internal systems are now significantly cleaner, more deterministic, and easier to maintain.

Important Notes

• This release intentionally focuses on internal consistency and long-term maintainability, not new end-user features.
• Documentation is now single-source-of-truth, eliminating wiki drift and duplicated content.
• CI workflows are aligned with the new versioning model and prepared for future automation.
• No vendored third-party code was introduced; all external dependencies remain maintained forks.
