v0.9.0 — Enterprise Tool Check & Bug Fixes

This release brings Portage-compatible tool handling and critical bug fixes for package installation.

🏢 Enterprise Tool Check

Tool check is now opt-in instead of opt-out, following Portage's BDEPEND pattern:

# Default behavior (no tool pre-check)
grpm emerge @world

# Optional pre-validation
grpm emerge --check-tools @world

Why this change?

• Portage handles tool dependencies via BDEPEND, not global pre-flight checks
• Pre-checking 2000+ packages caused false positives (one Rust package requiring cargo for entire @world)
• Now follows enterprise pattern: BDEPEND + natural build failures + rich error reporting

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Collision detection — Only files are checked for collisions, directories are skipped (was counting 147 collisions for 49 files)
• VarDB persistence — Packages are now properly tracked in /var/db/pkg after installation
• Shared file collision — /usr/share/info/dir excluded from collision check (GNU Info directory file)
• Collision logging — Added detailed collision reporting for better diagnostics

📦 Package Sets (from v0.8.4)

Package sets now work in all commands:

• grpm resolve @world / @system / @selected
• grpm emerge @world
• grpm fetch @system

⚠️ Breaking Change

# Before (v0.8.x):
grpm emerge --skip-tool-check @world

# After (v0.9.0):
grpm emerge @world                    # No flag needed
grpm emerge --check-tools @world      # Optional pre-validation

✅ Tested on Real Gentoo

• grpm resolve @system → 2086 packages resolved
• grpm emerge app-misc/hello → builds and installs successfully
• VarDB tracking → /var/db/pkg/app-misc/hello-2.12.2/ created correctly
