chore(sdk): release v0.0.81

* fix(hub): stop shipping full transcripts inside broadcast hub events

Every session.updated (and session.created/detached/run.started) event
embedded the session's ENTIRE message transcript via readCoreSessionSnapshot,
even though no consumer reads snapshot.messages off an event — clients fetch
messages with the session.messages command. For a multi-megabyte transcript
this turns every status flip into megabytes per subscriber, floods the
durable event log, and (until the send-queue backpressure fix lands) lets a
slow subscriber balloon the hub process by one full transcript copy per
event — reported as a 25GB cline process on a 16GB Mac.

Strip snapshot.messages centrally in HubServerTransport.publish() so every
current and future event publisher is covered, the event log stores slim
envelopes, and cursor replay stays byte-identical with live fan-out. All
other snapshot fields (status, usage, model, workspace, checkpoint) are kept,
and command replies are untouched.

* fix(hub): never capture the transcript into event/reply snapshots

Replaces the publish-boundary strip with the real fix: don't build
message-bearing snapshots in the first place. emitSessionSnapshot no longer
re-reads the entire transcript from disk on every status flip, and
readCoreSessionSnapshot no longer reads it for any event or reply — a
snapshot is a state notification (status, usage, model, workspace,
checkpoint); the transcript is fetched via the session.messages command.
Checkpoint-restore snapshots (session-versioning-service) are untouched:
restore replies carry messages in their own dedicated field.

 # Cline CLI Changelog
 
+## 3.0.59
+
+- New files are now created with your platform's native line endings
+- Fixed the codebase search tool crashing on files that contain a single enormous line
+- Cost estimates are no longer shown for Claude Code. Its usage is typically covered by a Claude Pro/Max subscription, but its models reuse Anthropic API pricing, so Cline was showing charges you were not being billed
+- Credentials embedded in git remote URLs are now redacted from the workspace information sent to the model
+- Installing an MCP server no longer misreads a `--` separator in the install arguments as part of the server command
+- Refreshed the model catalog. Adds seven providers (Agnes AI, Aixy, IteraCompute, LLM Tech, NeoSmith, Pendra, and Standard Compute) and updates model lists and pricing across providers. The resolved default model changes for ClinePass (now GLM 5.3), Z.ai, Hugging Face, evroc, LLM Gateway, NanoGPT, and Weights & Biases, so if you use one of those without pinning a model you will get a different default
+
 ## 3.0.58
 
 - The first-launch "Try ClinePass" dialog no longer advertises the $4.99 first-month promo, which is ending

+- Fixed the background Cline process ballooning in memory during long sessions — session status updates were carrying a full copy of the conversation transcript to every connected client, which on a multi-megabyte task could grow the process to tens of gigabytes. Status updates now carry only state (status, usage, model, workspace, checkpoint); the transcript is fetched on demand

 - The sidebar is time-sorted again by default, with collapsible Pinned / Scheduled / Tasks sections and a one-click toggle to switch to project grouping (the old dropdown is gone). Scheduled sessions are marked with a clock icon, and the list starts taller and grows to fill the sidebar instead of stranding rows over empty space
