OpenMed 1.5.5 is a local-first PII, service lifecycle, and README refresh release.

This release adds batch PII extraction/de-identification, REST model unload and keep-alive controls, stronger Swift/OpenMedKit long-document PII handling, and a polished multilingual README/brand refresh.

Highlights

• Added BatchProcessor(operation="extract_pii") and BatchProcessor(operation="deidentify") for batch PII workflows.
• Added REST model lifecycle controls: GET /models/loaded, POST /models/unload, request-level keep_alive, and OPENMED_SERVICE_KEEP_ALIVE.
• Added Swift/OpenMedKit chunked PII extraction for long OCR text and improved ScanDemo clinical document PII recovery.
• Refreshed the README with mascot/brand assets, an on-device PII demo GIF, Apple Silicon/Swift/iOS entry points, and 13 translated READMEs.
• Bumped package, README, docs, website, and Swift demo version surfaces to 1.5.5.
