release: 1.0.0-beta.7 (install hotfix: libtorrent optional)

[jaylfc]

Install hotfix promoted straight to master because the live installer clones the default branch and beta.6 aborts on a fresh install.

A WSL user hit No matching distribution found for libtorrent>=2.0.9 on a clean reinstall. libtorrent was a CORE dependency but has no PyPI wheel on most platforms (it is the OS-level libtorrent-rasterbar / python3-libtorrent package), so pip install -e .[proxy] aborted the whole controller install.

• Moved libtorrent to a torrent optional extra (the code already guards the import and falls back to direct download; torrent tests skip when absent).
• Bumped to beta.7 (beta.6.1 is not PEP 440 valid). uv.lock relocked.
• Same fix is on dev via fix(install): make libtorrent optional so fresh installs do not abort #1291.

Once green, merge + tag v1.0.0-beta.7 + GitHub release so the installer works for fresh users.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • libtorrent is no longer a required core dependency and is now available as an optional extra, preventing installation failures on platforms lacking available wheels.

• Chores

Poem

🐇 A torrent of change, but oh so light,
libtorrent made optional overnight!
No more abort on a wheelless shelf,
The mesh downloads magically by itself.
Beta.7 hops in, fresh and bright! 🌟
