v2.65.0

Two opt-in community contributions from @double2tea: an optional HTTP transcription backend and a localized, build-aware control panel. Both are opt-in and change no default behavior — with neither configured, existing transcription backends and the English panel work exactly as before.

Added

• MLX Audio Router transcription backend (#95, @double2tea) — an optional HTTP transcription backend that runs outside the Resolve MCP Python environment. Enabled only when DAVINCI_RESOLVE_MCP_MLX_AUDIO_URL is set and a bounded GET /health probe succeeds; an optional DAVINCI_RESOLVE_MCP_MLX_AUDIO_MODEL overrides the router's default model. When configured and healthy it is preferred in transcription capability ordering, and its response is normalized into the existing JSON/SRT/VTT transcript artifacts. Standard-library only (urllib); the MCP server never installs, starts, or downloads anything on the router's behalf, and existing Whisper backends are untouched when no URL is set.
• Control panel localization (English / Simplified Chinese) (#96, @double2tea) — a persistent language switch on the local control panel. English remains the authored, canonical UI; the browser stores only the selected locale in localStorage and the initial locale follows browser preferences. Translation runs client-side over the DOM (text nodes plus aria-label/title/placeholder) and is fully reversible; no server API or persisted project data changes.
• Build-aware AI console (#96, @double2tea) — the Resolve AI console now uses the runtime capability payload to disable actions the connected Resolve build cannot execute, distinguishing "Requires Resolve 21+" from "Unavailable on this build" and surfacing the Resolve 20 transcription methods (TranscribeAudio / ClearTranscription). Narrow-screen navigation and the mobile footer were also improved.

Validation

• Static checks and drift guards pass; tests/test_media_analysis.py (110), tests/test_control_panel_i18n.py + tests/test_control_panel_ai_capabilities.py + tests/test_open_control_panel.py (14) pass on the merged tree.
• No DaVinci Resolve scripting behavior changed: #95 is a self-contained HTTP/stdlib backend gated behind an env var, and #96 changes only the control panel's client-side HTML/JS. Live Resolve validation not required.
