Bump VERSION_NAME 0.38.0 -> 0.39.0 and update all version-carrying docs: - CHANGELOG: consolidate [Unreleased] under [0.39.0] with a headline summary (includes the #947 AAR-publishing CI entry, now merged to develop). - README: BOM snippet -> 0.39.0, What's New in 0.39.0, Contributors (0.39.0). - docs/antora.yml: skainet_version attribute 0.38.0 -> 0.39.0 (used in the docs' dependency snippets). - kernel-support-matrix.adoc: regenerated via generateKernelMatrix — the Android column now shows native-jni for Q8_0/Q4_0/Q4_K/Q5_K/Q6_K (the new JNI backend), replacing panama-vector; version stamp -> 0.39.0. 0.39.0 headline: on-device AI on Android becomes real — the skainet-backend-jni-cpu JNI NEON backend (~24 tok/s SmolLM2-135M Q8_0 on a Pixel 8a vs ~3.8 scalar), plus Android streaming GGUF loads (#922), linkable K/N kernel klibs (#942), the Q4_0 NEON kernel (#939), GGUF loader fail-fast (#919), and a tensor-storage correctness pass (#927-#931). Local prep only — not pushed/tagged. Cut off develop after #947 merged, so the branch already carries the AAR-publishing workflow + pinned NDK.
