Caution

⚠️ Critical Bug Notice: Initial Setup

There is a known issue where the automatic tool installation on launch may result in corrupted binaries and error out.

Workaround: If prompted to install tools on first launch, please cancel/skip and go to Settings within the app to perform the installation manually. This ensures the binaries are placed correctly. ⚙️📦
