Breaking Changes

⚠️ These notes are AI generated and will be revised by a human ⚠️

• The FastFlowLM NPU model hy-mt2:1.8b was renamed to hy-mt2-flash:1.8b; update any configs or scripts that reference the old tag.
• The release tagging tool no longer accepts the --no-sign flag — omitting the flag creates unsigned annotated tags by default; use --sign if you want a signed tag.
