BRI v1.0.0 — Production-Ready Release

This release completes BRI as a production-ready Python video intelligence application with a Streamlit user interface, FastAPI MCP-style API surface, SQLite persistence, validated configuration, CI-safe testing, and optional multimodal ML execution paths.

Highlights

• Hardened configuration and packaging through pyproject.toml with optional ai and dev extras.
• FastAPI MCP server with standardized response envelopes, health checks, request validation, and lazy tool discovery.
• Public tool catalog for extract_frames, caption_frames, transcribe_audio, and detect_objects without requiring heavy ML dependencies in CI.
• SQLite storage contract coverage and production validation scripts.
• Enterprise README refresh preserving all existing graphics.
• Architecture, API, testing, deployment, and operations documentation.

Validation

• python3 -m pytest -q — 28 passed.
• python3 scripts/validate_production.py — passed.
• git diff --check — passed.
