Release v0.8.6: preserve relations & typed JSON

Bump crate versions to 0.8.6 and add several fixes and improvements: preserve in-memory relation runtime state when overwriting models from JSON, rework raw SQL -> JSON conversion to decode backend-aware column types (booleans, JSON/JSONB, UUID, date/time, decimals using rust_decimal) instead of relying on probe order, and add Send bounds so NestedSaveBuilder can be moved across await points or into tokio::spawn. Also remove the misleading Model::load_all_translations helper, cache the email validation regex with OnceLock, update docs/examples and changelog, and refresh macro outputs to emit relation-state refreshes. Tests added for raw JSON typed decoding and nested-save spawning; compile-fail snapshots updated accordingly.

+## [0.8.6] - 2026-03-21
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Preserved loaded `HasOne`, `HasMany`, `BelongsTo`, and `HasManyThrough` relation runtime state when model helpers overwrite a model from JSON, so translation and file-attachment updates no longer silently discard cached relations.
+- Reworked raw SQL JSON row conversion to decode backend-aware column types instead of relying on a fragile probe order, preserving booleans and improving JSON, UUID, date/time, and decimal handling.
+- Added `Send` bounds to nested relation save operation erasure so `NestedSaveBuilder` remains `Send` and can safely cross await points or be moved into `tokio::spawn` tasks.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Removed the misleading `Model::load_all_translations()` helper. Use `get_all_translations()`, `get_translations_for_language()`, or `to_json_with_all_translations()` depending on whether you need per-field values, a single-language projection, or full JSON output.
+- Cached the email validation regex with `OnceLock` instead of compiling it on every validation call.
+- Refreshed dependency examples and macro-crate docs to use the 0.8.6 release version.
+
+### Internal
+
+- Updated relation compile-fail snapshots to match the attribute-macro test fixtures.
+- Verified the release prep with `cargo test --all-features`, `cargo clippy --lib --all-features -- -D warnings`, and `mdbook build`.

 `save_with_many` batches related inserts through TideORM's bulk insert path, and `delete_with_many` removes related rows with a single `WHERE IN` delete. `update_with_many` batches existing related rows through an upsert-style write and then reloads them once. If any related model still looks new, `update_with_many` falls back to per-row updates so create-vs-update semantics stay unchanged.
