Gribouille 0.2.0 and 0.2.1: Composing Plots and a Sturdier Core

Gribouille 0.2.0 is the first feature update since the launch, and 0.2.1 follows shortly after. compose() can now number panels, nest, carry its own titles, hoist a single shared legend, and line panels up across the grid with align-panels, facet-grid() gains free scales, and labels and guides get tidier controls. Most of the work, though, went into the internals, where a long list of panics became clear errors and correct output.

It ends with a ready-to-paste LLM prompt that drafts a similar carousel from scratch.
