Lataa Lemonade Server 10.8.1

Headline
- Speculative decoding now accepts draft/MTP/EAGLE3 checkpoints, with new Gemma-4 MTP models ready to pull.
- ROCm installation and GPU detection are restored for Radeon RX RDNA2/3/4 dGPUs on Windows and Linux.
- Backend installs are now crash-safe, with resilient downloads that fall back gracefully when a release lookup or cache snapshot is unavailable.
- lemonade bench --response-log captures each model's responses and run metadata to a JSONL file for later quality evaluation.
- The lemonade backends command now lists only supported recipes and backends by default; use lemonade backends --all to see every available option.
Breaking Changes
- The --model-draft, -md, and --spec-draft-model flags are now reserved for internal speculation-decoding support and can no longer be passed manually through llamacpp_args.
