## New features

* The bundled fallback database is now cross-distro: it stores system
package names for `apt`, `dnf` (also used by `yum` platforms), `zypper`,
and `apk`, so `backend = "bundled"` and offline fallbacks work on Fedora,
RHEL and its rebuilds, openSUSE, and Alpine, not only on Debian and
Ubuntu. The `apt`, `dnf`, and `zypper` names are generated from the Posit
Package Manager database; the Alpine names are hand curated. The `"auto"`
backend now prefers bundled data on all of these platforms.
* Log diagnosis recognizes many more missing libraries. The direct error
patterns grew from 12 to 33 and now cover, among others, zlib, bzip2, xz,
png, jpeg, tiff, freetype, fontconfig, cairo, SQLite, PostgreSQL,
MariaDB, libsodium, GMP, MPFR, GLPK, GEOS, ImageMagick, poppler,
leptonica, tesseract, ICU, webp, and Cyrus SASL, each with names for all
supported package managers.
* New `gitlab_ci()` generates a GitLab CI YAML job that installs the system
packages a plan needs. GitLab CI jobs usually run as root inside a
container image, so the commands are emitted without `sudo`.
* The bundled fallback database now also covers `igraph`, `rJava`, `jqr`,
`odbc`, `av`, `rsvg`, `xslt`, and `protolite` (40 curated packages in
total).
* Installed-state detection now works on Alpine: `missing_only` filtering
and the `installed` plan column use `apk info` when running on an `apk`
platform.
* The startup message suggests `setup_advice()` with the detected platform
instead of a hardcoded `ubuntu-24.04` example when the current host is a
supported Linux distribution.

instead of pasting them into the command line.
* Posit Package Manager requirements that consist only of post-install
commands (for example `R CMD javareconf`) now keep their row in the plan.
* When a Posit Package Manager query fails (for example with no network),
the fallback no longer stops with "Bundled fallback data currently
supports apt platforms only." on non-apt platforms. The bundled fallback
now serves platform-matching names, and on platforms outside the bundled
data (such as Homebrew) an empty plan is returned with the original
error recorded in the `fallback_error` attribute.
* `detect_platform()` now reports Alpine hosts as supported, matching
`resolve_platform("alpine-3.20")` and the documented platform list.
* `use_ppm()` documentation no longer claims that `scope` selects which
