This is a maintenance release with one headline fix and a packaging improvement.

Headline — shared headers and footers, once (#805)

A header or footer that is shared by several sections was being visited more than once. The smart-tags postprocessor then found a tag it had already unwrapped, and threw an IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: -1.

The fix is small and lives in one place — a deduplication set plus an index guard:

// HookRemover — process each header/footer part exactly once
private final Set<CTSmartTagRun> seen =
        Collections.newSetFromMap(new IdentityHashMap<>());

// A tag may have been unwrapped by a previous pass when the same
// part was visited more than once (a header shared by several sections).
if (index < 0) continue;

Document visitors now process each header/footer part exactly once, and a regression test (HeaderInheritanceTest) pins the inherited-header case.

Dependency — asciidoc 3.10

The AsciiDoc module moves to v3.10, which brings the standalone [section] marker for ending a document section explicitly.

Packaging — a portable Windows EXE

There is now an officestamper.exe you can run without an installer: a fat jar wrapped in a 7-Zip self-extracting executable, built from the windows-portable profile. The installer profile (windows-exe) remains for a proper jpackage build.

mvn -pl :cli -am -P windows-portable -DskipTests package
mvn -pl :cli -am -P windows-exe      -DskipTests package

Breaking changes

None. No migration notes are required; the change is invisible unless you were tripping over shared headers.
