Research direction

Start by reading the linked semver.org guidance and reviewing this library's release and versioning process. Define how breaking API changes such as generatePublicKey and RunEnvironment deprecation should be versioned, and consider the work complete when future releases consistently signal compatibility changes according to SemVer.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This library introduces major changes to its API in seemingly minor version updates.

Eg. Previously generatePublicKey introduced a new parameter (format) a while ago and somehow it was decided to add it as first parameter, breaking existing calls to it

Now in between 0.0.28 and 0.0.29 there was a fatal deprecation of the RunEnvironment config settings which again, breaks the API calls.

Can you please start using SemVer (https://semver.org/) for this library to flag breaking changes appropriately?
