chore(release): v1.1.1

[umair-ably]

Summary

Draft release PR for v1.1.1. Blocked on #394 merging to main first. This branch is currently stacked on feature/init-global-install — once that lands on main, rebase this onto main and the diff will become clean.

Changes vs v1.1.0

• ably init now globally installs @ably/cli when launched via npx (feat(init): install @ably/cli globally when launched via npx #394) — fixes the v1.1.0 onboarding gap where npx @ably/cli init left the user without a persistent ably command after init exited.
• package.json bumped 1.1.0 → 1.1.1.
• CHANGELOG.md updated with the v1.1.1 entry.

Release checklist

• feat(init): install @ably/cli globally when launched via npx #394 (feature/init-global-install) is merged to main
• This branch rebased onto the updated main
• CI green on this branch
• Mark this PR ready for review (remove draft)
• Merge to main
• Tag v1.1.1 and publish to npm
• Confirm npx @ably/cli init actually installs globally on a fresh machine
• Confirm npx @ably/cli init --json produces clean NDJSON (no npm output leakage)
• Confirm npx @ably/cli init --no-install skips install and continues

Review Notes

• Blocked on feat(init): install @ably/cli globally when launched via npx #394: This branch is stacked on feature/init-global-install. The diff will appear much larger than 2 lines until the PR is rebased onto main after feat(init): install @ably/cli globally when launched via npx #394 merges. Review the actual feature changes in feat(init): install @ably/cli globally when launched via npx #394 — this PR only adds the version bump and changelog entry on top.
• No code changes in this PR: All functional changes live in feat(init): install @ably/cli globally when launched via npx #394. This PR is purely a release housekeeping commit.
• Release checklist incomplete: The author's checklist (rebase onto main, CI green, remove draft, tag + npm publish, manual onboarding smoke tests) is not yet ticked — PR should not be merged until those steps are done.
• No new dependencies or breaking changes in this PR itself.
