TinyTorch v0.1.9 - Computed Values, VS Code Extension & Progressive Disclosure

TinyTorch v0.1.9

Computed values across all ABOUT.md docs, VS Code extension thin client, progressive disclosure improvements, and community contributions.

✨ New Features

• Computed Values in ABOUT.md: Converted all 20 module ABOUT.md files to MyST Markdown Notebooks with inline Python-computed values via {glue:text} — eliminates hardcoded arithmetic errors and ensures all numerical claims are always correct
• VS Code Extension: New thin client architecture over Tito CLI with notebook editor support, build tree, and module explorer
• Version Badge: Auto-updating version badge in site navbar, refreshed on every release via CI

📖 Content Improvements

• Progressive Disclosure: Enforced scaffolding across 9 modules — solution blocks decomposed for pedagogical consistency
• Function Decomposition: Standardized naming conventions and formatting across all 20 modules
• Module 15 (Quantization): Corrected INT8 zero-point values in quantization docs
• Module 16 (Compression): Fixed sparsity percentage bugs
• Module 19 (Benchmarking): Aligned MLPerf box-drawing characters and tree indentation
• EmbeddingBackward: Moved from Module 06 to Module 11 where it belongs conceptually
