1.7.5

New

• Expandable collection tree in setup. The onboarding wizard now shows your Zotero collections as a fold/unfold tree instead of a flat list, so you can pick specific subcollections to monitor when a top-level collection is too large. Each node shows its item and subcollection counts, and selecting a parent never auto-selects its children.

Fixes

• Local models no longer run out of context in the research assistant. Local servers (LM Studio, Ollama) load a model with a small, fixed context window — LM Studio defaults to 4096 tokens — that Nodus's large prompts overflowed, so the assistant refused every question with a "not enough context" error. Nodus now fits the context, the conversation history and the answer length to the model's real window, trimming the least query-relevant material first so the most relevant ideas and passages survive. A small local model can now always answer.
• Cleaner citations from local models. Citations from local models now render as "Author, Year" instead of the internal idea id, and a bracketed id the model wrote without a link is turned into a proper source link (only when the id actually exists in your corpus).
