Versioning
Phylax follows semantic versioning. A major bump means a breaking change to the API or the CLI contract; a minor bump adds capability without breaking existing calls; a patch fixes behaviour without changing either.
The --json output shape is part of the contract. Fields are added in minor releases and
removed only in a major, so parsing it in a script is safe as long as you ignore unknown keys.
