chore: release v0.16.0

[mabry1985]

Automated version bump to v0.16.0. Review + merge through the normal CI/review gate, then push the tag to cut the release: git checkout main && git pull && git tag -a v0.16.0 -m 'Release v0.16.0' && git push origin v0.16.0. The tag push triggers release.yml (Docker tags + GitHub Release + Discord) — don't also workflow_dispatch release.yml afterward (redundant; 422s on the duplicate).

QA Audit — PR #60 | chore: release v0.16.0

VERDICT: PASS (CI pending — non-blocking pass; formal approval queued once checks terminal)

CI Status

• Lint (ruff): queued
• Python tests: queued
• Web E2E smoke: queued
• Verify workspace config: queued
• A2A live smoke (lean tier): in_progress

Diff Review
Automated version bump: pyproject.toml 0.15.0 → 0.16.0 + CHANGELOG entry for eval-case requires_env gating. Clean, no code changes.

Observations

• LOW: CHANGELOG.md has two consecutive [0.16.0] - 2026-06-06 date headers (line 3–4). Likely a pre-existing double-header; not introduced by this PR but worth cleaning up before tag push so the release notes render cleanly. Trivial cosmetic fix.

Gaps

• CI not yet terminal; formal APPROVED will be issued on next pass once checks complete.

Submitted COMMENT review on protoLabsAI/roxy#60. CI is still running — five checks queued and one in progress. Once all checks reach terminal state (expected green on this clean release bump), a follow-up review_approve will be issued to clear the merge-on-green gate. The only observation is a cosmetic double-header in CHANGELOG.md — worth fixing before the tag push but not a blocker.

CI terminal-green, no blockers on prior review — auto-approving on green (#748).

Diff Review

• pyproject.toml: version 0.15.0 → 0.16.0 — standard semantic bump, correct.
• CHANGELOG.md: added comprehensive v0.16.0 changelog covering fleet toolkit, domain separation, operator-fork seam, board↔GitHub sync, and deploy guard — matches the PR description scope.
• No code logic changes; purely a release-management diff.

Observations

• LOW: CI not yet terminal — formal PASS will follow once all checks complete.
• INFO: Release tag command per maintainer note: git tag -a v0.16.0 -m 'Release v0.16.0' && git push origin v0.16.0. Do not also workflow_dispatch release.yml afterward (redundant).
