009 - Safer Releases, Better Tools, and Getting Hired

Hex 2.6.0 adds Workflow Identify aka. Trusted Publishing, staged publishing, scoped API keys, and an emergency approval mode to reduce package supply-chain risks. A 1ms network partition can make Phoenix PubSub drop broadcasts; EchoPubSub buffers messages and tracks acknowledgements, while invisible Unicode in downloaded AI skills can conceal instructions that expose secrets.
