What this release ships

  • Per-user installer — no UAC prompt, chooses install folder & Start Menu group, optional desktop shortcut, optional bundled MCP servers.
  • Bundled MCP servers — excel-mcp (workbooks in Documents\Calabrass) and win-control-mcp (window/keyboard automation), both built with -H=windowsgui so no blank console windows appear. They are registered for every new account switched off — driving Excel or the keyboard is a deliberate choice.
  • WebView2 check — detects the runtime, offers Microsoft's download page if missing.
  • Uninstall protects your data — asks before deleting %LOCALAPPDATA%\Calabrass (keeps it by default).
  • MIT LICENSE included.

Fixed

Issue Resolution
Chats stuck on "Loading…" after sign-in Root effect now waits for a valid session, re-runs on sign-in/out; no restart needed
desktop.log empty in installed app Logger writes file first, mirrors to stdout only when a console exists

Changed — Provider model

No provider exists until you add one.
The built-in Google/Groq cards, their .env keys (GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY) and the priority list are removed. A fresh account starts with an empty Providers page; open Providers → New provider, paste the endpoint and key, and its models appear.

  • Quirks kept, recognised by endpoint: a provider pointed at api.groq.com still gets max_completion_tokens + the reasoning fix; one pointed at generativelanguage.googleapis.com uses Gemini's native adapter.
  • Upgrade path: a row the old build left behind (e.g., id=google with no URL but your key) is adopted once at startup as an ordinary provider named Google Gemini, key intact, fully editable/deletable.

Requirements

  • Windows 10/11 x64
  • WebView2 runtime (installer checks and offers download)

Notes

  • The installer is not code-signed yet — Windows SmartScreen will show "Windows protected your PC"; choose More info → Run anyway.
  • User data is never written into the checkout: everything lives in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Calabrass.
