v1.1.0 - Synthetic & Simulant Origin Awareness

What's New

The gemmology plugin now has full awareness of synthetic gems, simulants, and composites from the mineral database v1.8.0.

Plugin CLI Updates

gemmology list-presets --origin simulant    # Filter by origin
gemmology list-presets --synthetics         # Shorthand for synthetics
gemmology list-presets --simulants          # Shorthand for simulants
gemmology info cubic-zirconia              # Shows origin, growth method, diagnostic features

Skill & Command Updates

• /crystal-svg: Synthetic presets now documented and available; graceful handling of materials without crystal forms (null CDL)
• /identify-gem: After narrowing candidates by RI/SG, automatically queries counterparts to flag potential synthetics/simulants with their diagnostic features
• synthetics-simulants skill: References database preset IDs for direct lookup, expanded material coverage
• inclusions-fingerprints skill: Added CVD/HPHT diamond inclusion data and synthetic cross-references
• gemmology-expert agent: Origin-aware identification with proactive counterpart suggestions
