chore: release v0.8.16

[miguel-heygen]

What

Publishes HyperFrames 0.8.16 from the current stable main snapshot. Rendering is more reliable across audio, embedded sources, long sequences, and empty caches, while CJK and Thai captions keep phrase boundaries.

Local video generation now avoids dead model tiers, and the player can retain runtime data channels for richer integrations.

Why

Packages on npm latest remain at 0.8.15. This reviewed release PR is the only supported path for creating the stable tag and publishing 0.8.16.

How

bun run release:prepare 0.8.16 generated reviewed release notes, synchronized 13 package versions and three plugin manifests, and created the release commit. The local tag was deliberately not pushed; the stable publish workflow creates it from the immutable merge SHA.

Test plan

• 47 release, changelog, version, publish-workflow, and channel-validation tests pass
• oxfmt --check passes for all 18 changed files
• Release commit is based exactly on current origin/main
• Documentation updated
