🤖 I have created a release beep boop

1.0.0 (2026-09-07)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• feature: finalize the ansnr feature extractor removal (ADR-0865) (#1295)
• model: every score produced without an explicit --model changes. On the standard 576x324 pair the pooled VMAF moves from 76.667831 to 82.816059. Pin --model version=vmaf_v0.6.1 to keep the old numbers. No API, flag or output schema changed, and no model was removed.
