+HyperFrames 0.8 establishes the supported version boundary for Plan v2 as the default distributed cloud transport.

+Version 0.7.111 already contained this behavior. Version 0.8.0 adds no further cloud runtime changes beyond that release.

+- Redeploy AWS Lambda, SAM, or CDK infrastructure from version 0.8.0 before upgrading SDK callers to 0.8.0.
+- Redeploy GCP Cloud Run services and workflows from version 0.8.0 before upgrading SDK callers to 0.8.0.
+- Omitting `planProtocol` selects Plan v2. Explicit `"v1"` remains available for compatibility while older work drains.
+- Keep the producer, SDK, and cloud adapter packages on the same version during the upgrade.
