Publish GraphCompose to Maven Central (Sonatype OSSRH + GPG signing) #7
Description
Goal. Make GraphCompose available via Maven Central as the primary distribution channel; keep JitPack as a documented fallback.
Why. JitPack is a fast, low-friction default for early releases, but for a Java library targeting production server-side adoption, Maven Central is the authoritative registry: it ships with every build agent, requires no additional <repository> declaration, and signals stability + maturity to Java decision makers.
Coordinates target. From v1.7 onward, the canonical install snippet becomes:
```xml
io.github.demchaav
graphcompose
1.7.0
```
(Note the group-id flip from `com.github.DemchaAV` (JitPack convention) to `io.github.demchaav` (Sonatype namespace). The `groupId` field in the POM already points there.)
Scope.
- Sonatype OSSRH account + namespace ownership for `io.github.demchaav`
- GPG signing key generated, distributed to public keyserver, and configured in CI secrets
- `pom.xml` extended with `distributionManagement`, `maven-source-plugin`, `maven-javadoc-plugin`, `maven-gpg-plugin`
- CI workflow that triggers on tag push (`v*..`) and runs `mvn deploy -Prelease` against OSSRH staging
- Staging-repo close + release automated via the `nexus-staging-maven-plugin`
- README install snippet flips to Maven Central coordinates; JitPack snippet kept as a "fallback" subsection
- First Maven Central release tagged as v1.7.0; JitPack continues to mirror the same tag
Out of scope.
- Migrating prior tags (v1.0 - v1.6) to Maven Central. Only v1.7+ ships there.
Tracking. Linked to milestone v1.7. CHANGELOG already lists Maven Central as a v1.7 stretch goal under "Phase E".

Closing — shipped in v1.6.6 rather than v1.7, with a few deliberate deviations from the original plan.

The hyphenated form is what Central debuts with.nexus-staging-maven-pluginwas replaced by the newercentral-publishing-maven-plugin(Sonatype's recommended path for the new Central Publisher Portal).CHANGELOG's "Phase E / v1.7 stretch goal" wording is also outdated and should be revised in the next docs sweep.
