(Migrated from github.com)

What changed

require Nim 2 and remove the obsolete macro/jsony dependency stack
normalize hosts and URL joining consistently
fix malformed status endpoints and add multi-status lookup
URL-encode account lookups and WebFinger resources
preserve Mastodon string cursors instead of coercing IDs to integers
keep shared HTTP clients alive until explicit shutdown
retain response headers and expose typed, catchable API errors
preserve non-JSON error bodies and parse retry/rate-limit metadata safely
update instance, rules, account, followers, status, context, and public-timeline APIs
add focused unit tests and Nim 2.2.10 CI

Why

fediWatch depends on this client. The previous implementation was pinned to Nim 1.6-era behavior and contained request lifecycle, URL, query, cursor, and rate-limit defects that blocked a reliable StarIntel 0.9 migration.

Validation

GitHub Actions passes the full unit-test suite on Nim 2.2.10.
