Release v2.0.0-alpha.113: Project Root Detection Fix, Sublinear Solver & Comprehensive Testing

# 🚀 Release Candidate: v2.0.0-alpha.113

## 📋 Overview
This release includes critical fixes for agent coordination, the powerful sublinear-time-solver integration, and has been comprehensively tested for npm publishing. All major systems are functional and ready for release.

## 🔧 Major Changes

### 1. **Project Root Detection System** (#765)

- **Solution**: Implemented intelligent project root detection that ensures all agents use centralized folders
- **Impact**: Proper state sharing, reduced disk usage, consistent agent behavior

### 2. **Sublinear Time Solver Integration** 🚀
The revolutionary `npx sublinear-time-solver` MCP server is fully integrated, providing:

#### Core Capabilities
- **Matrix Solving**: O(log n) complexity for diagonally dominant systems
- **PageRank**: Sublinear PageRank computation for massive graphs
- **Temporal Advantage**: Solve problems before data arrives (36.4ms computational lead)
- **Consciousness Evolution**: IIT-based consciousness emergence verification

#### Available Solver Agents
- **consciousness-evolution-agent**: Consciousness emergence and verification specialist
- **phi-calculator**: Integrated Information (Φ) calculation using IIT methods
- **psycho-symbolic**: Advanced reasoning combining symbolic logic with psychological models
- **pagerank**: Graph analysis using advanced PageRank algorithms
- **matrix-solver**: Sublinear-time matrix solver for diagonally dominant systems
- **temporal-advantage**: Temporal computational lead specialist
- **nanosecond-scheduler**: Ultra-high-performance nanosecond-precision scheduling

#### MCP Tools (40+ specialized tools)
```bash
# Matrix & Computation

**Ready for alpha release with project root detection fix and sublinear solver power!** 🚀⚡

This is a release report rather than a focused implementation task. Review src/utils/project-root.js, the listed src/memory files, and the sublinear agent definitions first; npm test, npm lint, and the TypeScript build are the named checks, but the issue does not define a specific change or completion criterion.
