WildMeOrg/Wildbook: Wildbook 10.11 is agentic!

Wildbook 10.11 is largely about making photo-ID matching faster, more complete, and more robust to real world data. This release also opens a new door for programmatic access: from the "API Access" entry in your profile menu, you can issue a time-limited token that lets scripts, notebooks, or AI assistants read the encounters, individuals, and annotations you already have permission to see, and a companion "agent skill" endpoint teaches AI assistants how to help with re-ID curation in plain language. Underneath, 10.11 fixes a long list of issues (database connection leaks, a stuck indexing flag, a user-creation deadlock, an access-control leak) and everyday annoyances: bulk imports now reject corrupt images instead of stalling at 99%, import task pages stop jumping back to page one while they poll, search filters survive a page refresh, quicksearch puts exact matches first, and zoom and pan work again across gallery, match-result, and encounter images.
