Release v0.13.1

v0.13.1: Signed macOS Builds, a Postgres Explain That Finally Runs, and Pagination That Honors Your OFFSET

Databases Are Not Becoming Chatbots

AI is not replacing databases. What is changing is the layer around them: context, interpretation, explainability, notebooks, agents, and the workflows that connect them.
