Pull Request Overview

This PR increments the package version to v1.4.4, but it is currently not ready for merging. There is a significant gap between the intent expressed in the CHANGELOG and the code actually provided. While the version string in 'src/modelinfo/init.py' was updated, the implementations for batch-size flags, timeout configurations, HF_ENDPOINT support, and Intel GPU discovery are entirely missing from the diff. Additionally, an acceptance criterion involving 'pyproject.toml' was not met as that file was not included in the changes. Codacy results indicate the project is up to standards, but this is likely due to the lack of logic changes rather than the quality of the new features.

About this PR

• The PR description and CHANGELOG describe significant new features (batch-size flags, Intel GPU discovery, HF_ENDPOINT support) and bug fixes (E402 warnings) that are completely absent from the current diff. Please ensure all implementation logic and corresponding tests are included.
• The PR checklist indicates that tests were added to cover these changes, but no test files are included in the PR. Please provide unit/integration tests for the new CLI flags and GPU discovery logic.

Test suggestions

• Verify that the CLI --version flag correctly reports '1.4.4'.
• Validate that the --batch-size flag is accepted and defaults to 1.
• Validate that the --timeout flag is accepted and defaults to 10s.
• Verify Intel GPU discovery via xpu-smi works as described in the changelog.
• Ensure the HF_ENDPOINT environment variable correctly overrides the default Hugging Face endpoint.

Prompt proposal for missing tests

Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify that the CLI --version flag correctly reports '1.4.4'.
2. Validate that the --batch-size flag is accepted and defaults to 1.
3. Validate that the --timeout flag is accepted and defaults to 10s.
4. Verify Intel GPU discovery via xpu-smi works as described in the changelog.
5. Ensure the HF_ENDPOINT environment variable correctly overrides the default Hugging Face endpoint.
