chore(release): 0.12.0

[pbean]

Summary

Release prep for v0.12.0 (minor bump from 0.11.1), cut from main at f121a56c.

• Promote ## [Unreleased] to ## [0.12.0] — 2026-09-20 and reopen an empty ## [Unreleased] above it. No entry prose was rewritten; the section stands as filed under the six Keep a Changelog subsections (Added 30 · Changed 25 · Fixed 211 · Security 6).
• Stamp 0.12.0 via scripts/sync_version.py (+ uv lock).
• Regenerate docs/images/ screenshots and demo.gif (src/bmad_loop/tui changed since v0.11.1).

Minor rather than patch: bmad-loop diagnose --json moved schema_version 2 → 4, verify-command-result census semantics inverted, psmux sessions moved to a per-project registry (#537), and new capability landed (Windows handle-anchored spec restoration, artifact-only sweep bundles, sweep selectors, deferred-work archive).

Test plan

• uv run python scripts/release.py check — version fields agree on 0.12.0, [Unreleased]: compares against v0.12.0
• trunk check clean
• CI green (incl. version-sync)
• On merge, release.yml publishes tag v0.12.0 + GitHub release from the CHANGELOG section

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Release
  • Updated the application and plugin version to 0.12.0.
  • Added the 0.12.0 release entry and updated version comparison links in the changelog.

Superseded by a PR from chore/release-0.12.0: this branch name matched release.yml's release/* push trigger and self-published (and stranded a tag — since deleted) before merge. See the replacement PR for the fix.
