* fix: repair notebook CI by replacing dead vision model and adding missing API key
- Replace `meta/llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct` (no longer serving on
build.nvidia.com) with `nvidia/nemotron-nano-12b-v2-vl` (project default)
in tutorial notebook 4
- Add `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` to the `build-notebooks` workflow so notebooks
5 and 6 (which use OpenRouter for image generation) can authenticate
- Regenerate colab notebooks to reflect the model change
* fix: handle pyarrow list types in notebook 6 display_image
When image columns are loaded from parquet with pyarrow backend,
list values are pyarrow ListScalars, not Python lists. The
isinstance(x, list) check fails, causing the whole ListScalar to be
treated as a single path string (producing filenames ending in
`png')]`). Use isinstance(x, str) instead to correctly handle any
iterable type.
- Convert notebook 3 from string-based columns to class specs (dd.SamplerColumnConfig, etc.)
- Fix grammar: "is the main object is responsible" → "is the main object responsible"
- Remove stray "A" at end of URL in notebook 2
- Remove empty markdown cell in notebook 4
- Add missing data_designer.validate() call in notebook 4
- Regenerate colab notebooks from source
* docs: add deployment, performance tuning guides and streamline getting started
- Add deployment-options.md: Library vs. Microservice decision guide
- Add inference-architecture.md: Separation of concerns with LLM servers
- Add performance-tuning.md: Concurrency and batching optimization guide
- Streamline index.md: Merge installation, add quick example, simplify
- Remove quick-start.md: Content merged into welcome page
- Remove installation.md: Content merged into welcome page
- Update model docs: Add concurrency control sections and cross-references
- Update mkdocs.yml: Add new Architecture section to navigation
* docs: add tasteful emojis to new documentation pages
* docs: consolidate redundant concurrency and troubleshooting content
- Remove duplicate max_parallel_requests tables from model-configs.md and inference-parameters.md
- Remove duplicate Concurrency Control section from model-configs.md
- Simplify Concurrency Control in inference-parameters.md to link to performance-tuning.md
- Remove Troubleshooting section from inference-architecture.md (covered in performance-tuning.md)
- performance-tuning.md is now the authoritative source for tuning guidance
