Summary
cargo dev-install: builds the debugperchand symlinkstarget/debug/perchinto~/.local/bin/perch, so every latercargo buildis instantly live — no reinstall.cargo run -p xtask -- uninstallremoves the symlink (only if it's a symlink; never deletes a real file).xtaskworkspace crate (dev tooling only —publish = false,dist = false, never shipped). Converts the repo to a Cargo workspace; the rootperchpackage and cargo-dist release flow are unchanged.~/.local/binisn't onPATHor if an earlierPATHentry shadows the dev build. Hardened against relativeCARGO_TARGET_DIRand missing build output.build.rscaptures the git short SHA at compile time, so debug builds reportperch 1.6.0-dev.<sha>(and…-dev.<sha>.dirtywith uncommitted changes). Gated oncfg!(debug_assertions), so--releasebuilds (incl. Homebrew/cargo-dist) stay clean1.6.0.
