release: v0.8.1

[aaltshuler]

Release commit for v0.8.1 — see docs/releases/v0.8.1.md for the user-facing notes.

• Version 0.8.1 across all seven crates + path-dep constraints, Cargo.lock, openapi.json, AGENTS.md surveyed version.
• Channel decision: binaries/Homebrew/installer only; crates.io deferred until Lance 9.0.0 stable (the substrate git-pin cannot be published). publish-crates.yml gains a self-healing guard: skips cleanly while lance is a git dependency, resumes automatically when it returns to a registry version; skipped tags are recoverable via workflow_dispatch.
• Content since v0.8.0 (all previously merged & CI-validated): Lance 9.0.0-beta.15 substrate (adopts upstream fixes lance#7480/#7320), filtered-search prefilter fix, embedding validation hardening, enum widening, undirected traversal, blob tables in maintenance, self-service upgrade refusals, bench harness.
• On-disk format unchanged (internal schema v4) — no rebuild, downgrade to 0.8.0 possible.
• cargo test --workspace --locked green on the release commit; omnigraph version smoke: 0.8.1 / internal-schema 4.

After merge: annotated tag v0.8.1 on the merge commit → release.yml builds the binary matrix + updates the Homebrew tap.

Greptile Summary

This is the v0.8.1 release commit. It bumps all seven workspace crates from 0.8.0 to 0.8.1, regenerates Cargo.lock and openapi.json, updates AGENTS.md's surveyed version, adds the release notes, and wires a self-healing skip guard into publish-crates.yml that defers crates.io publication while lance is git-pinned to a pre-release.

• All version strings (crate manifests, path-dep constraints, Cargo.lock, openapi.json) are updated consistently; on-disk format is unchanged at schema v4 so downgrade to 0.8.0 remains possible.
• The new publish-crates.yml step correctly runs after checkout, detects the lance = { git … } entry in the workspace manifest, and propagates the CARGO_PUBLISH_SKIP flag that gates every subsequent step; the guard self-heals when lance returns to a registry version.
• The omnigraph-ts SDK still declares serverVersion: 0.8.0, but since the OpenAPI surface is unchanged (only info.version changed), this is not a compatibility break — the check-drift script will continue to pass against the still-valid v0.8.0 tag.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge; all version strings are updated consistently, the on-disk format is unchanged, and the new workflow guard behaves correctly for the git-pinned lance dependency.

The change is a coordinated version bump with a well-scoped workflow addition. Version strings are consistent across all seven crate manifests, Cargo.lock, and openapi.json. The publish-crates.yml guard runs after checkout, correctly detects the git pin, and propagates the skip flag through all downstream steps. The only finding is a stale Lance 7.x label in the AGENTS.md architecture diagram, which is cosmetic and pre-existing.

AGENTS.md — the architecture diagram's Lance 7.x label is a one-line fix; everything else looks correct.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
.github/workflows/publish-crates.yml	Adds self-healing guard to skip crates.io publication while lance is git-pinned; guard runs after checkout so Cargo.toml is available, and the existing skip-flag idiom carries through to all downstream steps correctly.
AGENTS.md	Version surveyed bumped to 0.8.1 and RFC process entry added to the topic table; however the architecture at a glance ASCII diagram still shows Lance 7.x while the substrate is now Lance 9.x.
Cargo.lock	All seven workspace crate entries bumped from 0.8.0 to 0.8.1; no other dependency changes detected.
crates/omnigraph-cli/Cargo.toml	Package version and all six internal path-dependency version constraints bumped from 0.8.0 to 0.8.1; consistent with the workspace-wide release bump.
crates/omnigraph-server/Cargo.toml	Package version and all five internal path-dependency constraints bumped consistently to 0.8.1.
openapi.json	Info.version field updated from 0.8.0 to 0.8.1; no API surface changes, consistent with the patch release scope.
docs/releases/v0.8.1.md	New release notes file covering all user-visible changes, behavior changes, upgrade notes, and the crates.io deferral rationale; follows OSS-facing style requirements from AGENTS.md.

   The architecture diagram still labels the storage layer as Lance 7.x while the rest of this file (and the workspace manifest) describe the substrate as Lance 9.x. AGENTS.md rule 6 ("Don't lie") applies here since the file is being modified in this PR.
