v0.4.0

[xt765]

[0.4.0] - 2026-01-26
Added
Async Mode: Introduced async_mode=True in configure_flow to offload log writing to a background thread, eliminating I/O blocking in the main application loop.
Data Privacy: Added capture_args=False to @trace to prevent sensitive arguments from being logged.
Argument Truncation: Added max_arg_length and max_arg_depth to @trace to control the size of logged data structures.
Explicit Naming: Added name (or target alias) parameter to @trace for explicitly setting the participant name, overriding automatic inference.
Flexible Configuration: Updated configure_flow to accept a list of custom handlers and an append flag, allowing better integration with existing logging setups.
Improved
Test Coverage: Achieved >90% test coverage with a comprehensive new test suite covering unit, integration, and concurrency scenarios.
PyPI Compliance: Switched to dynamic versioning via hatch-vcs and improved package metadata and artifact inclusion.
