v0.1.0 — Local-first document strainer

Initial public release of strainer-cli.

• Offline-first CLI for summarizing and tagging .txt and .md files
• Dual execution modes:
  • Fast mode (pure Python, no optional dependencies)
  • Smart mode (embedding-based sentence ranking)
• JSON and Obsidian-friendly Markdown output
• Optional evidence anchors for traceability
• Designed as a standalone script (no packaging, no services)

Early release — feedback and issues welcome, especially around
keyword-density ranking in the non-LLM path.
