grip 0.2.0

Removes the 40 long-form compatibility aliases deprecated in the 0.1 series. See help("grip-0.2-migration") for the complete replacement map.
Narrows the public graph-family API to primitive edge generators, configurable mask helpers, and complete graph bundles. Specialized edge-list builders, standalone surface embeddings, and parameter-coordinate builders remain available internally to those bundles.
Makes gmds.result() internal; public layout methods continue to return the common "grip_gmds_layout" result format.
Adds executable examples for every exported function and an API regression test that enforces this documentation contract.

grip 0.1.3

Unifies topology-first and edge-length-metric layouts under grip(metric = "hop") and grip(metric = "edge_length").
Gives trace.grip() the same metric selection and removes the short-lived weighted.grip() and trace.weighted.grip() entry points in favor of the unified API.
Documents precisely how positive edge lengths affect force targets, shortest paths, multiscale hierarchy construction, neighborhoods, normalization, and optional LGKK stages in each metric mode.

Makes saved graph-family bundle ordering deterministic when files have tied modification times, as can occur on Windows.
Corrects two undersized adjacency allocations in the compiled triangular mesh generator.

Adds geodesic-MDS, geodesic-KK, landmark, MISF, weighted, and interactive layout workflows developed since the initial submission.
Caps compiled parallel work at two threads to comply with CRAN resource limits, including when automatic thread selection is requested.
Replaces native assertion aborts with recoverable errors and strengthens queue state handling.
Removes non-package utilities from the installed package and removes machine-specific installed paths.
Shortens graph-family save filenames so they remain portable under long Windows temporary-directory paths.
Expands the pkgdown reference index and reduces README animation assets for a smaller source package.
Declares the package C++17 requirement explicitly.

First public release of grip.
Centers the package around two main layout workflows: grip.layout() for unweighted graphs and grip.layout.weighted() for weighted graphs.
Provides layout scoring and real-data candidate comparison via grip.score.layout() and grip.compare.layouts(), together with multiscale trace diagnostics via grip.layout.trace() and grip.layout.trace.weighted().
Ships a large synthetic graph-family library, bundled weighted real-data examples, disconnected-component packing, and plotting helpers.
Includes advanced public experimental full geodesic-KK (GKK) and landmark geodesic-KK (LGKK) preparation, scoring, and refinement helpers for weighted-layout evaluation and polish.
Includes optional Shiny explorers for browsing layout catalogs and synthetic graph families.
