Viewhook 0.1.1 - Docker images now built for ARM64

A small infrastructure release following the initial launch. The only change is to how Docker images are published.

What changed

Docker images are now built for both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. Previously, only the amd64 image was available, meaning Apple Silicon Macs and ARM servers (AWS Graviton, Oracle Ampere, etc.) had to run the image under emulation.

With this release, pulling paulund/viewhook on an ARM machine will get the native image automatically — Docker picks the right variant from the manifest.

Why it matters

Running an amd64 container on Apple Silicon works but adds overhead due to CPU emulation. For a webhook inspection tool that's often run locally during development, the native ARM image is faster to start and uses less memory.

For ARM-based cloud instances, native images also tend to be more cost-effective — you're not paying for CPU cycles spent on emulation.

No changes to Viewhook's features or configuration in this release.
