release: v0.61.0 (pluggable backends — out-of-tree backends, #386 Phases 5+6)

[apotema]

Bumps build.zig.zon 0.60.0 → 0.61.0.

Headline: the assembler can now build out-of-tree backends; bgfx is extracted

Pluggable-backends epic #386, Phases 5 + 6. The assembler fetches, contract-verifies, and builds a backend that lives in its own repo — the same rails plugins use. bgfx is the first backend extracted (→ labelle-bgfx), with its shared gamepad sources promoted to labelle-sdl-gamepad / labelle-android-gamepad.

What's in it (#409–#417)

PR	Change
#409	6a — remote .backend_package cache-fetch (fetched like a plugin)
#410	6b — contract-verify an external backend (assertBackend/assertWindow/assertInput)
#411	conform raylib + null windows to the canonical window contract
#412	Phase 5 — enum-as-shorthand resolution (a built-in tag can resolve to a package)
#413	6c — bgfx extracted to labelle-bgfx; opt-in CI-verified
#414	select the GUI bridge by backend name, not the enum (external backends)
#415	labelle-bgfx v0.2.0 — gamepad sources extracted to their own packages
#416 / #417	the two flip-blockers — callback-external guard; android enum-fallthrough

Compatibility

• Built-in backends are byte-identical — every change is gated on cfg.isExternal() / external-only paths. Existing projects (.backend = .raylib/.sokol/.bgfx/...) are unaffected.
• Out-of-tree backends are opt-in via .backend_package = .{ .name, .repo, .version }. The built-in .backend = .bgfx still ships bundled; flipping it to fetch the package by default is a follow-up gated on this release (so the assembler↔framework versions line up).

Validation

• Full zig build test green; golden generation suites unchanged for built-ins.
• External bgfx validated on-device (Galaxy Tab A7, Android 12): a real game (Flying Platform) builds → NDK cross-compiles → installs → launches → runs crash-free, behaving identically to the bundled backend.

After merge: tag v0.61.0 to trigger the binary release (release.yml).

Poem

🐇 A hop, a skip, a tiny change,
One version number rearranged,
From sixty to sixty-one we go,
The manifest updated so,
The rabbit stamps it — onward, ho! 🎉
