- Added support for sync functions
- Refined docs and readme to reflect the new architecture support for only ASGI frameworks
- Added feature to support env_gated route mutation from dashboard and cli
- Added support for global rate limiting
**`engine.sync` — synchronous proxy for sync route handlers and background threads**: every async engine method (`enable`, `disable`, `set_maintenance`, `schedule_maintenance`, `set_env_only`, `enable_global_maintenance`, `disable_global_maintenance`, `set_rate_limit_policy`, `delete_rate_limit_policy`, `reset_rate_limit`, `get_state`, `list_states`, `get_audit_log`) is now mirrored on `engine.sync` using `anyio.from_thread.run()`, the same mechanism the shield decorators use internally. Use `engine.sync.*` from plain `def` FastAPI handlers (which FastAPI runs in a worker thread automatically) and background threads — no event-loop wiring required.
#35) Reframed all docs and README as ASGI-first; expanded framework support tables to include Litestar, Starlette, Quart, and Django (ASGI) as planned adapters; added a dedicated Adapters overview page with a clear explanation of why WSGI frameworks (Flask, Django WSGI, Bottle) are out of scope for this project and will be supported in a separate dedicated library.
#36) **Env-gate management from dashboard and CLI**: routes can now have their environment gate set or cleared at runtime — without redeployment — via the dashboard "Env Gate" button (opens an inline modal) and the new `shield env set` / `shield env clear` CLI commands.
**Global rate limit** (`engine.set_global_rate_limit`): a single rate limit policy applied across all routes with higher precedence than per-route limits checked first, so a request blocked globally never touches a per-route counter. Supports all key strategies, burst allowance, and per-route exemptions (`exempt_routes`). Configurable from the dashboard Rate Limits page and the new `shield grl` CLI command group (`get`, `set`, `delete`, `reset`, `enable`, `disable`). **Global rate limit pause / resume** (`engine.disable_global_rate_limit` / `engine.enable_global_rate_limit`): suspend enforcement without removing the policy, then resume it later. Per-route policies are always unaffected.
