Lookspan 0.5.1 released with usage-driven fixes

Lookspan has released version 0.5.1, which includes three fixes derived from practical usage rather than code review. These fixes address issues with deep links, trace list naming conventions, and span frameworks being rewritten. The release also involved correcting a broken changelog that was silently omitting code spans and duplicating sections. AI

IMPACT Minor tooling improvement for developers, with minimal industry-wide impact.

RANK_REASON This is a minor software release (version 0.5.1) for a tool called Lookspan, not a frontier model or significant industry event.
