Bump VERSION_NAME 0.39.1 -> 0.40.0 and update all version-carrying docs. The tagged 0.39.1 release was scoped narrowly to #950 + #952; #708 (Q5_0/Q5_1 native kernels), #958 (Apple runtime FEAT_DotProd dispatch), and #959 (Apple iOS/macOS Kotlin/Native targets) were merged to develop afterward but their changelog entries had been appended under the already-shipped [0.39.1] header. This release corrects that: those entries move to [0.40.0] alongside the two items that were genuinely still Unreleased (#921 off-heap/mmap Android storage, #782 GGUF dequant over-allocation fix), and [0.39.1] is restored to match what the 0.39.1 tag actually shipped. - CHANGELOG: new [0.40.0] - 2026-08-11 section (headline + #921, #782, #708, #958, #959); [0.39.1] section reverted to its tagged content (#949, #923 only). - README: BOM snippet -> 0.40.0, What's New in 0.40.0 (0.39.1 moves under "Previously"), Contributors (0.40.0). - docs/antora.yml: skainet_version attribute 0.39.1 -> 0.40.0. - kernel-support-matrix.adoc: regenerated via generateKernelMatrix on this base — version stamp -> 0.40.0. Branch prep only — no tag created. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
