🚀 Major Milestone: Production-Ready ORM Foundation

Phase 2.1 Complete - The ORM foundation is now production-ready with comprehensive testing and outstanding performance.

✅ What's New in v0.2.0:

• Complete Model System: CRUD operations, timestamps, soft deletes
• Advanced Query Builder: 940+ lines of type-safe functionality
• Subqueries & Aggregations: Complex query support with performance optimization
• Comprehensive Testing: 36 unit tests including 6 performance benchmarks
• Outstanding Performance: 3μs query building (333x better than target!)

📊 Performance Results:

• Query Building: 3μs average (target: <10ms) - 333x better than target
• Memory Overhead: 208 bytes QueryBuilder (target: <1KB) - 5x better
• Model Instances: 104 bytes memory footprint
• SQL Generation: 3-14μs for complex queries

🧪 Testing:

• 36/36 tests passing (30 functionality + 6 performance benchmarks)
• Fixed critical bug in subquery WHERE IN clause handling
• 100% success rate on all ORM operations

🔄 What's Next:

• Phase 2.2: Connection pooling and transaction management (Issue #7)
• Phase 2.3: Model events and observers (Issue #11)
• Phase 2.4: Database seeding and factory system (Issue #12)

📦 Installation:
