OpenLips Studio 0.2.1 Beta

• Independent API-2 process plugins with platform-specific executable entrypoints,
  private runtimes/models and declarative UI parameters, without host Python imports.
• Basic Pitch moved entirely into plugins/basic_pitch; Studio no longer bundles
  its code, model or runtime. Four standalone platform .opl packages are released
  separately from the Studio downloads.
• Atomic background installation of larger native plugin packages, preserving
  executable permissions and validated internal symlinks; compatibility/path/size
  validation and rollback leave existing files untouched.
• Versioned request/progress/result protocol includes the current project snapshot
  for processing and future lyric-alignment plugins. Text settings are supported.
• Plugin catalog, complete developer guide, and independent lyric-mapping example.
• Legacy API-1 importers remain supported. Explicit activation and undoable draft
  acceptance remain required; process isolation is not a security sandbox.
• Native CI tests install the actual .opl into a separate directory and exercise
  real inference, previews and undo/redo through the frozen host app.

Native Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon / Intel) and Linux builds. Extract the complete Studio archive. Basic Pitch is a separate platform-specific .opl download containing its own model and runtime; install it through Tools > Plugins. No separate Python installation is needed.

Beta: DLC discovery is experimental; final OG media encoding currently requires Windows. Optional static-cover video requires external FFmpeg.
