release: prepare 0.19.1 (version bump + CHANGELOG)

[anthonywu]

This will also be a first test of the hardened release process from #646

What

Prepares the 0.19.1 patch release: bumps pyproject.toml to 0.19.1 and cuts the CHANGELOG.md entry. The changelog renames the Unreleased section to [0.19.1] - 2026-08-20 (keeping the already-written Security #655 and Bug Fixes #651/#652 entries) and adds the remaining commits since v.0.19.0 that had no entry: Lens/Boogu docs (#659), the CI model-registry JSON extract (#658), the protected pypi release environment (#646), the Lens WeightDefinition refactor (#654), and the flaky Gemma 2 test fix (#653).

Also syncs uv.lock to the 0.19.1 version bump and adds a uv-sync-locked pre-commit hook (local, language: system) that runs uv sync --locked whenever pyproject.toml or uv.lock is staged, so a manifest change can no longer land with a stale lockfile — exactly the drift this branch hit. The hook's comment warns against invoking hooks via uv run pre-commit, since uv run re-locks and rewrites uv.lock before hooks execute, masking the drift the hook exists to catch.

Checklist (definition of done)

• Tests added/updated run in CI by default (selector: -m "not slow and not high_memory_requirement", same as just test). Only mark @pytest.mark.slow or @pytest.mark.high_memory_requirement when a test exceeds CI's time or memory budget (typically weight downloads / image generation). — N/A: version bump + changelog only.
• ruff check and ruff format are clean (uv run ruff uses the version pinned in the dev dependencies of pyproject.toml, which is the single source of truth for pre-commit and CI; pre-commit run -a covers it locally).
• CHANGELOG.md: entry under Unreleased referencing this PR number. — This PR is the changelog cut itself; every entry in [0.19.1] references its source PR.
• Docs updated where behavior changed — README examples/table rows are part of the API contract (see .cursor/rules/RULE.md). — N/A: no behavior change.
• New model: shared config wiring (aliases, default steps, mflux-save dispatch, capabilities, completions), thin CLI entrypoint, and src/mflux/models/<name>/README.md. — N/A.
• New/changed CLI: ignored/rejected options declared (IGNORED_OPTIONS/REJECTED_OPTIONS) and warn_ignored_options actually called in main() — mflux-capabilities must stay truthful. — N/A.

Verification

• uv run pre-commit run --files CHANGELOG.md pyproject.toml — typos and ty pass (ruff skipped: no Python files touched).
• Cross-checked every commit in git log v.0.19.0..HEAD has a changelog entry, and verified the ci: gate PyPI publish behind a protected 'pypi' environment #646 entry against the actual release.yml diff.

• Documentation

  • Updated Lens and Boogu documentation.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved Gemma 2 validation and test coverage.

Walkthrough

The project version changes to 0.19.1. The changelog records the dated release and related updates. A pre-commit hook synchronizes locked dependencies after dependency configuration changes.

Changes

Release metadata and validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Version and changelog update pyproject.toml, CHANGELOG.md	The package version changes from 0.19.0 to 0.19.1. The changelog records the 2026-08-20 release and associated updates.
Locked dependency synchronization .pre-commit-config.yaml	A local hook runs uv sync --locked when pyproject.toml or uv.lock changes. The hook does not pass filenames.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a0529

The release changes are otherwise localized and mergeable, but the new lockfile validation hook may behave differently on developer machines using a different uv version than CI; pinning or validating the local version should remain an explicit follow-up.

Validated locally on an M5 at a0529cb:

• Changelog completeness: checked one by one against git log v.0.19.0..origin/main. Every commit since the tag has its entry (#646, #651, #652, #653, #654, #655, #658, #659), nothing merged is missing, and nothing unmerged is listed.
• uv sync --locked passes on the branch and the installed package reports 0.19.1. Also negative-tested the new hook's core claim: with pyproject bumped to a version the lock doesn't carry, uv sync --locked fails with the "run uv lock" hint, so the hook catches exactly the drift it exists for.
• Test suite with the CI selector: 1439 passed.

Good luck with the first run of the hardened release flow.

Before this tags: four fixes merged after the branch was cut and their entries sit in main's [Unreleased], so the [0.19.1] section here doesn't cover them: #649, #650, #663, #668. #669 would add one more if it lands first. Either a refresh picks them up or they roll to the next patch, your call.
