InferBridge 1.0.0

First stable release of InferBridge, including the accumulated beta work and the following updates since 0.11.0-beta.1.

Highlights

Discover compatible OpenVINO models already present on disk and adopt them into the local model library without copying model files.
Improve local model import, status refresh, evidence identity, and action grouping.
Harden model conversion by bounding noisy diagnostics and preserving progress when subprocesses emit oversized output.
Improve chat stream recovery, engine handoff safety, and crowded-header layout behavior.

Existing settings, model files, caches, and data schema remain compatible. The current data schema is 1.
The Windows installer and portable package are unsigned and make no Authenticode signing claim. Windows may show Unknown publisher; verify downloaded files against the published SHA-256 checksums before running them.
Mock smoke tests and CI do not certify real CPU, GPU, or NPU performance, driver behavior, installer upgrade behavior, Authenticode trust, or SmartScreen reputation. See docs/COMPATIBILITY_MATRIX.md and docs/KNOWN_ISSUES.md for the current evidence and limitations.
