feat: upgrade to donglora-client 0.2, simplify connection, fix org URLs

- Upgrade donglora-client from 0.1 to 0.2 (ping-on-connect validation)
- Remove manual mux/serial fallback and manual ping — handled by client now
- Fix repository/homepage URLs to github.com/donglora/bridge
- Fix README links to donglora GitHub org

+# Changelog
+
+## [0.3.0] - 2026-04-07
+
+### Changed
+
+- Upgraded to `donglora-client` 0.2: all connections now auto-validate via
+  ping-on-connect, rejecting non-DongLoRa serial devices within 200ms.
+- Simplified connection logic — removed manual mux/serial fallback and manual
+  ping; `donglora_client::connect()` handles the full fallback chain and
+  validation internally.
+- Config negotiation detects mux vs serial via transport type instead of
+  string comparison.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Repository and homepage URLs now point to `github.com/donglora/bridge`
+  (was `swaits/donglora-bridge`).
+- README links updated to `donglora` GitHub org.
+
+## [0.2.2] - 2026-04-06
+
+### Fixed
+
+- TUI now fits in 80-column terminals (was 86).
+
+## [0.2.1] - 2026-04-06
+
+### Fixed
+
+- CI: removed stale sibling-clone step, added `libudev-dev` dependency,
+  upgraded `actions/checkout` to v5 (Node.js 24).
+
+## [0.2.0] - 2026-04-06
+
+### Added
+
+- Auto-detect connection mode: when no `port` is configured, the bridge now
+  tries the mux daemon first and falls back to direct USB serial
+  (`find_port()`) if the mux is unavailable. Previously it would retry the mux
+  forever.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Config negotiation on direct serial connections now pushes `SetConfig` with
+  the desired radio config when it differs from the dongle's current config.
+  On mux connections, the existing behavior (accept the mux's config) is
+  unchanged.
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-04-06
+
+Initial release.
