chore[notask|skiplog]: release @qvac/decoder-audio v0.3.8 (#1778)

PATCH bump.

Bumps @qvac/infer-base direct dep from ^0.1.0 to ^0.4.0. Combined with
@qvac/infer-base@0.4.1 (peer-dep drop), this severs the last path that
pulls @qvac/dl-* into consumers' install trees through this addon.

BaseInference public surface unchanged across 0.1.1 -> 0.4.x; lint
clean + 9/9 brittle-bare unit tests pass.

+## [0.3.8] - 2026-04-28
+
+This release bumps `@qvac/infer-base` from `^0.1.0` to `^0.4.0`. Together with `@qvac/infer-base@0.4.1` (which drops the legacy `@qvac/dl-hyperdrive` peer-dep), this stops `@qvac/dl-*` packages from being pulled into consumers' install trees through `@qvac/decoder-audio`. Public behavior of `FFmpegDecoder` is unchanged.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Bumped `@qvac/infer-base` direct dependency from `^0.1.0` to `^0.4.0`. Consumers using `decoder-audio` no longer carry the legacy `@qvac/infer-base@0.1.x` line — and therefore no longer inherit its `@qvac/dl-hyperdrive` peer-dep — in their dependency tree.
+
+### Notes
+
+The `BaseInference` public surface (constructor signature, lifecycle methods) is identical between `@qvac/infer-base` 0.1.1 and 0.4.x, so `class FFmpegDecoder extends BaseInference` continues to work unchanged. Lint clean + 9/9 brittle-bare unit tests pass against the new range.
