MAX changelog updates:

- VLM tokenizers can now cache preprocessed media, so an image or video resent  
on a later conversation turn skips the resize, rescale and patchify (and for  
video, the whole decode) instead of redoing it. Keyed on the same  
raw-encoded-bytes digest the vision encoder cache uses, and bounded by host  
bytes rather than entry count: `--max-vision-preprocess-cache-bytes` and  
`--max-video-preprocess-cache-bytes` each default to 10 GiB, their combined  
size is capped at a quarter of the memory the process may use (a cgroup grant  
where there is one), and `0` disables either. The budget is a ceiling rather  
than a reservation – the cache grows into it and evicts to stay under it –  
and on a host with less than 80 GiB the cap scales both down proportionally  
rather than overcommitting. Entries unused for  
`--max-media-preprocess-cache-idle-seconds` (default 300, `0` disables) are  
dropped on the next cache lookup or insert, so a burst of distinct media does  
not hold host memory for the life of the process. Enabled for Gemma 4 images  
and video, Kimi K2.5 images, and Qwen2.5-VL and Qwen3-VL-MoE images.
