ForgeFlow 0.8.1

ForgeFlow 0.8.1 is a premium UX and connection-assurance release.

Highlights

• A more deliberate desktop design system with refined hierarchy, depth, typography, focus states and responsive density.
• Repository settings now show live open Gitea pull requests and link directly to them.
• npm run connections:check validates the installed DPAPI-protected token against the Gitea user, ForgeFlow repository and Actions APIs without printing credentials.
• Reduced-motion preferences are respected throughout the interface.
• Windows packaging and compact-window behavior are revalidated after the visual redesign.

The existing token and SSH private key remain local and are never copied into logs, backups or release artifacts.
