v2.0.1

v2.0.1 Overview

This release focuses on framework stability, boot-order correctness, and test/CI modernization across the v2.0.0..v2.0.1 range.

Highlights

• Fixed boot-stage race conditions in HTTP engine by resolving stages sequentially, preventing dependency initialization timing issues in application startup (includes fix for #247).
• Completed migration from Jest to Vitest, including config/setup updates and broad test suite compatibility fixes.
• Improved test reliability with shutdown/cleanup hardening, port/isolation fixes, and expanded engine lifecycle coverage.
• Added extensive new unit/integration/benchmark coverage for boot lifecycle, engine shutdown behavior, health checks, and proxy/module flows.
• Improved core stability and consistency across boot/decorator/engine/helper paths from the comprehensive audit v2 work.

Notable Fix Areas

• HTTP engine stage resolution ordering and startup sequencing.
• EngineRegistry/Boot lifecycle safety and guardrails.
• WebSocket/Socket.IO/HTTP shutdown behavior and listener cleanup.
• Vitest module resolution and test interop/mocking updates.
• CI/test infrastructure updates supporting Vitest-based workflows.
