Summary

Bumps the project release version from 0.50.0 to 0.51.0 in both package.json and package-lock.json. This version bump aligns with the release procedure in docs/releasing.md, allowing .github/workflows/release.yml to resolve tag v0.51.0 and trigger desktop publication upon merging to main. The change cleanly packages the 14 pull requests merged since 0.50.0 across performance optimizations, mobile transcript polish, and key pooling. Maintainers should ensure that CI passes on this exact head commit before merging and that tag v0.51.0 has not been pre-created.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Full end-to-end inspection was performed across the complete diff, JSON syntax, release workflow scripts (scripts/prepare-ci-release.mjs), and repository history without unverified areas.

Reviewed changes This review covers the release-version metadata update and its effect on the existing release workflow.

• Release version package.json and both root version fields in package-lock.json now agree on 0.51.0; v0.51.0 is absent, so the main-branch release workflow can select it for publication.
