🚀 v1.1.0 Stable Release

This release graduates from v1.1.0-rc.1 with major robustness improvements.

✨ New Features

🔍 Smarter Profile Detection

• Scans pinned repos (user's curated showcase) instead of just starred
• Scans pinned gists and parses their content for imports
• Parses package.json for accurate npm dependency detection
• Import analysis for JS/TS, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby

🛡️ Robust Caching

• 3-layer cache: IndexedDB → localStorage → memory
• Stale-while-revalidate pattern (show cached, refresh in background)
• Smart invalidation: pattern-based, user-specific, age-based
• Automatic cache cleanup

🔐 Resilient Token Storage

• Multi-layer storage: extension sync → local → localStorage → memory
• Never fails with "cannot access storage" errors
• Token validation before saving
• Automatic fallback chain

⚡ Better Error Recovery

• Retry logic with exponential backoff
• DOM verification (checks page repo count vs API)
• Shows stale cache on API errors instead of "no repos"
• Rate limit: shows cached data instead of error
