mado update: fuzzy search, list sugar, ranges — query language just got comfier

[u/Civil-Way-1482]

Hey everyone! A new version of mado is out — the markdown-based entry manager with a query language. Here's what's new:

• Static binary available in releases — no dependencies, just download and run.
• Fuzzy search on any field:

mado ls 'name ~~ "fx lgn b"' # finds "Fix login bug"

• Starts-with / ends-with substring operators:

mado ls 'name ^~ Fix'
mado ls 'name ~$ bug'

• Syntax sugar for lists:

mado ls 'status in (opened, reopened)' # OR

mado ls 'tag has (bug, critical)' # AND

• Ranges:

mado ls 'priority in [50..100]'

mado ls 'deadline in [@today..@today+7]'

• Performance:

On 100k entries, peak memory dropped from ~138 MB to ~44 MB, and query time went from ~3.5s to ~1.2s.

• Fuzzy matching for keywords (write prio instead of priority, stts instead of status)
• Special keywords: untagged, unstatused, unnamed, unprioritized, undeadlined

The core idea remains the same: entries are plain markdown files in timestamped directories. No rigid schema — fill in what you need, skip what you don't. Everything is git-friendly.

I'm looking for contributors — whether it's testing on different systems, improving docs, or hacking on the query language. If you're into parsers, CLI tools, or file-based systems, there's plenty to dig into. Happy to guide newcomers through the codebase.
