v0.3.0

Bug fixes

• MAP-Elites eviction (#454): cell owners are now protected during population eviction — non-elite/homeless programs are removed first, preserving diversity.
• Zombie programs (#454): programs displaced from their MAP-Elites cell are removed instead of lingering as unsampleable entries that consume population slots.
• Program sampling (#452): removed dead iteration.py, sized inspirations by num_diverse_programs, and deduplicated inspirations against the top/diverse programs shown in the prompt.
• Library API: fixed run_evolution() with a lambda evaluator raising SyntaxError (return <lambda>(...)); the lambda is now serialized into a self-contained, subprocess-safe evaluator module.
• Initial program artifacts: artifacts produced while evaluating the initial program are now stored (original PR #462).

Testing / CI

• Integration tests now run against the public codelion/dhara-250m model (served via optillm) instead of the gated gemma, with a bounded max_tokens.
• The full integration suite runs in CI (no longer skipping real-LLM tests), with HF model caching and the math-verify dependency optillm omits.
• New Frame SAST workflow scans PR-changed Python files for high/critical issues.
