Cadence 0.82.0 released: context changed to be enhanced through learning

muellerberndt/cadence released Cadence 0.82.0, refactoring the way the compositional brain carries context across moments: a new working_memory_scale construction parameter was added (initial value 1.2, previously fixed at 12), and the default for working_memory_decay was changed to 0, so that the influence of history gradually increases with learning rather than being silently carried from the start. This version also adds a context.md guide and removes the intrinsic plasticity of the readout from 0.81.0. Installation is via python -m pip install cadence-net==0.82.0; note that 0.82.0 compositional checkpoints are not accepted by earlier versions. On the development seeds, the compositional brain can still learn the delayed response in the test from reward alone in 6 of 6 seeds, but the chain is not yet fully mastered—some chains learned by founders after the caregiver leaves still decay (#169).
