v0.8.0

Added

• Real first-run onboarding — added a frontend-only guided setup path that uses existing server, model, benchmark document, and run/result APIs to help users create their first production-ready server, model selection, starter benchmark template, and successful run without demo data or new backend endpoints.
• Automatic local API token bootstrap — first local startup now creates or syncs INFERHARNESS_API_TOKEN and VITE_INFERHARNESS_API_TOKEN in .env when missing, keeping the frontend and backend able to communicate on a fresh install.
• README project badges — the root README now shows version, Node.js, Python, CI, and MIT license badges.

Changed

• Onboarding-aware shell — added the setup pill, welcome page, progress ribbons, handoff prompts, Settings tour controls, sidebar setup locking, and first-run completion prompt while keeping users on the Run page after a successful benchmark.
• Starter benchmark creation — the Run page can create a valid reusable test_template starter benchmark through the existing benchmark document API.
