v11.5.2

Headline

• The standalone macOS/Linux lemonade-tray client can now connect to servers over HTTPS/TLS.
• Repeatable llama.cpp custom arguments such as --override-kv now preserve every occurrence instead of collapsing to the last value.
• lemonade bench output now includes a hardware section covering CPU, GPU, RAM, OS, and backends.
• The llama.cpp backend now returns a clear error when an explicit device prefix contradicts the resolved backend.
• The Windows MSI installer now restores a saved custom per-user install location during upgrades.
