0.1.2 (2024-12-23)

Critical Fix: Increased default timeout from 30s to 300s (5 minutes)
- goose_ask() and goose_ask_raw() now use 300s default timeout
- All AI-powered functions updated to use configurable timeout
- Complex queries (code generation, analysis) no longer timeout prematurely
Improved Authentication: goose_test_cli() timeout increased to 60s
- Added informative message about authentication during test
- Allows sufficient time for password entry during first-time auth
Improved Reliability: Centralized CLI runner + retry support
- All Goose CLI calls now run through an internal processx-based runner for consistent stdout/stderr capture
- Added retry support for transient failures (timeouts/network blips)
- New options: options(goose.retries = 1, goose.retry_delay = 1, goose.retry_on = c('timeout','transient'))
New Global Option: options(goose.timeout = 300)
- Set custom default timeout for all goose functions
- Use timeout = Inf for no timeout on individual calls
Safer Long-Running Operations
- goose_recipe() and goose_session() now accept timeout + retries
- goose_stream() now supports max_time and idle_timeout guardrails
Documentation: Updated all timeout-related documentation

Major Enhancement: Comprehensive memory management system
- goose_clear_category(), goose_clear_tags(), goose_clear_all() for bulk cleanup
- goose_exists(), goose_rename(), goose_backup() for smart memory operations
- Session tracking with goose_session_start(), with_goose_session() wrapper
AI Response Formatting: Beautiful markdown output by default
- format_ai_response() with headers, bullets, code blocks, colors
- goose_format_options() for global configuration
- Enhanced goose_ask() with automatic formatting
18 New Functions: Doubling package functionality
100% Backward Compatibility: All existing code continues to work
Improved Error Handling: Progress bars, confirmations, comprehensive validation
