Boris 1.1.0-beta.5

Fifth beta of the Boris 1.1 line. This is a pre-release; Stable installs remain on 1.0.0 unless the update channel is changed to Beta.

Faster request-local model routing keeps simple turns on the fast tier and gives research, coding, and tool-heavy work stronger budgets.
Progressive tool discovery, strict argument validation, bounded schemas, per-tool concurrency, and parallel read-only calls make tool use safer and more efficient.
Research subagents now run asynchronously with poll, join, and cancel actions.
Speech starts sooner with sentence-streamed TTS, Silero VAD, responsive cancellation, and distinct model-residency modes.
Session persistence, memory extraction, and latency traces run away from the speech-critical path.
SQLite FTS5 memory search and cargo xtask trace-report improve recall and diagnostics.
Lazy desktop window and syntax-grammar loading reduces the production entry chunk to about 226 KiB.

Malformed or missing tool arguments cannot reach execution and are returned to the model for repair.
Transcript compaction no longer mixes old and rewritten history.
Audio lifecycle events cannot deadlock playback, and stuck native TTS cancellation is bounded.
Research completion requires useful current-turn evidence.
