Documentation Review for 0.3.0 Release

I've completed a comprehensive line-by-line review of the README, AGENTS.md, DEVELOPING.md, and aio library docstrings to ensure accuracy for the 0.3.0 release.

Recommendation

The documentation is in excellent shape and ready for the 0.3.0 release. Only minor version number updates are needed. The documentation has been thoroughly maintained through multiple previous review cycles (issues #136, #172, #189) and is accurate, comprehensive, and well-organized.

Version Numbers

The current version is 0.2.8 in:

This needs to be updated to 0.3.0 when ready for release. Use:

make bump-version VERSION=0.3.0

• ✅ All documentation links use correct .html extensions
• ✅ No broken references to non-existent classes or methods
• ✅ All code examples follow async-first pattern
• ✅ Docstrings follow consistent format and style
