Collie 0.1.0-alpha.7.7

Collie alpha.7.7

This update improves first-time setup and email sign-in.

• Email signup and sign-in now use Collie's website handoff and return securely to the desktop app.
• Continuing as a guest opens local chat.
• Chat drafts survive model setup.
• Provider setup validates API keys and supports Claude API-key setup.

Standalone website email signup, login with that account in the official installed Windows release, live model chat, and restart/history persistence were verified against production. A follow-up reply after restarting correctly used the saved conversation. Returning-account sign-out/sign-in was also verified in the packaged release candidate. Windows x64 is the primary supported platform. macOS builds support Apple Silicon; live macOS account sign-in has not been verified.

Installers are built from the version tag by GitHub Actions. SHA256SUMS.txt covers the attached files; the Windows package includes source and artifact provenance records.

Chats and settings remain on your computer. Signing in does not upload chats or API keys. Memory backup is optional and off by default.

Alpha signing limitations remain: Windows signing depends on the release certificate configuration; macOS is ad-hoc signed and not notarized.
