Features

• Add --version and -V options to CLI

Other

• Merge branch 'release/0.350'
• Remove docs
• Update changelog, bump version
• Remove broken badges
• Phase 1: TCF v2.3 Support & Logic Alignment (Re-issue)

• docs: update TCF version mentions to v2.3 in constants

• feat: Phase 1 implementation (predicates, vendor_id filter, CLI options)

• feat: enforce TCF v2.2/v2.3 legal restrictions on Legitimate Interest

• feat: add --strict option to CLI dump and enforce TCF v2.3 rules

• chore: prepare for v0.350 release (Phase 1)

• chore: consolidate documentation to README.md and remove README.pod

• chore: simplify docker tagging (version and latest only)

• chore: final Phase 1 refinements (POD, logic fixes, golden file)

• chore: establish strict operational boundaries for agents in AGENTS.md

• feat: add automated release workflow for CPAN and GitHub Releases

• docs: update AGENTS.md with automated release flow and Phase 1 features

• fix: improve TO_JSON isolation and fix predicates tests

• fix: robust regex for CLI isolation test

• fix: satisfy perl critic and tidy in CI

• Vendor segment parser cleanup (stacked on #44)

• fix: align core bitfield/range data_size to slice length

Both _parse_bitfield and _parse_range_section previously passed the full core_data bit-length as data_size while passing a sliced $data. This made the BitField/RangeSection size validation lenient for truncated cores: malformed inputs would stumble forward and croak deep in _parse_publisher_section with a misleading "missing 'core_data'" error instead of failing fast at the bitfield boundary.

Align with the pattern already used in _parse_vendor_bitfield_or_range so data_size faithfully describes what the callee receives.

• feat: defensive segment-type check in vendor-segment helper

_parse_vendor_bitfield_or_range now accepts an expected_segment_type argument and croaks if the payload header disagrees. Brings parity with PublisherTC->Parse and protects against future refactors that might bypass _decode_tc_string_segments routing.

• docs: explain single-return shape of vendor-segment helper

• fix: short-circuit MaxVendorId=0 in vendor-segment helper

Per IAB TCF v2 spec, MaxVendorId=0 means the field is unused. Previously, a segment with max_id=0 and IsRangeEncoding=1 would fall into RangeSection->Parse and either parse spurious range entries or croak from the 31-byte minimum-size guard.

Now we return an empty BitField immediately, preserving has_vendor_disclosure() semantics while making contains() return falsey for any vendor id.

• docs: refresh plan with current line numbers and rebase notes

• docs: regenerate README from POD and remove changelog merge noise

Phase 1 added several public methods (is_v22_plus, is_v23, disclosed_vendor, has_vendor_disclosure, allowed_vendor, has_publisher_restrictions) and two Parse options (TCF v2.3 strict-mode behaviour, vendor_id JSON filter), all documented in the .pm POD but missing from README.md. Regenerated README.md via the documented workflow (pod2markdown lib/GDPR/IAB/TCFv2.pm > README.md).

Also removed two leaked lines from a prior merge commit message (# Conflicts: / #\tCHANGELOG.md) that git-cliff had swept into the v0.350 "Other" section.

• docs: expand CONTRIBUTING with full Git Flow release procedure

The previous "FOR RELEASE MANAGER" section was a 12-line stub. Replaced with a comprehensive guide covering:

• Prerequisites: Pod::Markdown, git-cliff, git-flow CLI, PAUSE secrets configuration
• Versioning convention (0.XYZ, v-prefix only on tags)
• Step-by-step release (10 steps), each with side-by-side git-flow and vanilla-git commands
• What .github/workflows/release.yml does on tag push
• Hotfix release procedure (skips devel)

Added =encoding utf8 so podchecker accepts the em-dashes used throughout the new section.

• docs: explain why we don't document the draft-release pattern

Adds a "Pre-release review" subsection that calls out two reasons the draft GitHub Release pattern doesn't actually buy us anything on this project:

1. PAUSE upload is irreversible, so reviewing the GitHub Release before it ships only protects the rendered notes page, not the CPAN-distributed artifact.
2. release.yml hard-codes draft: false in the softprops step and listens only on push.tags, so naively adding a draft step would either close the review window in 3 minutes or skip release.yml entirely (API-created tags don't trigger push events).

Points readers at the existing PR-based vanilla-git path in step 8 as the actual review gate, and notes the workflow tweak required if someone later wants to support drafts properly.
