chore(release): 0.51.0

[client-software-ci]

0.51.0 (2025-07-18)

BREAKING CHANGES

• The behavior for the auto_accept configuration option has changed to automatically accept the default option that would be presented interactively. One exception is in a GUI context, when automatically accepting would cancel the operation.
• The parameter decide_cancel_submission_callback is removed from api.create_job_from_job_bundle, and a new parameter interactive_confirmation_callback replaces it. The previous callback included business logic that is now in the create job function, and the callback's purpose is now solely to present an interactive confirmation prompt.

Features

• Improved job identification in command output with clearer job names/IDs and more readable timestamps (feat: Add job name/id to job waitoutput and improve timestamp output for 'logs' command #725) (a7883e0)
• Added ability to detect when virtual file system (VFS) fails to launch properly (feat: make _launch_vfs return a boolean indicating VFS launch success #731) (e517659)
• Persistent job submission settings that remember your previously used values for priority and retry settings (feat: Remember last used priority, max retries per task, max failed t… #711) (358e6c7)
• New commands to monitor job completion and access job logs directly from CLI and API (job 'wait' and 'logs API/CLI commands #697) (8ea699f)
• Performance improvements through better client caching for network operations (feat: Adding a helper to initialize the lru_cached get_s3_client meth… #708) (5665fa8)

• Profile settings GUI widget widths are truncated (fix: profile settings gui widget widths are truncated #724) (5fdb0f1)
• Long paths on Windows cause relative_to function to operate unexpectedly (fix: normalize paths in windows so relative_to works properly #715) (2e70d5d)
• Job submission doesn't properly warn users when submitting files from directories not explicitly specified (fix!: Implement improved job attachments containment warning #673) (a8bf21b)

Took a stab at updating the changelog based on the content of each PR

A lot of the changelog titles were too technical, or describing the code/fix rather than the bug being fixed, or what the feature being added actually does.
