Valence 1.0.2 — Clearer, calmer, and a smarter setup

A round of polish across the interface, plus a friendlier first run and a batch of local-AI fixes.

What's new

  • AI Providers, reimagined. Every provider — local, cloud, and enterprise — now lives in one calm, unified list, with the local model leading on an at-a-glance read of how it'll run on your machine.
  • A cleaner menu. Reorganized into clear sections — Conversation, Export & Share, Tools — with a tidy "More options" expander.
  • Edit Profile, redesigned. A clearer layout grouping personality, model & knowledge, and privacy, with deployment posture (Standard / Business) under Advanced.
  • Smarter local-model downloads. Real-time progress, downloads keep running if you leave Settings, and a clear note that you can keep using Valence while they finish.
  • A friendlier first run. The setup wizard tells you, in plain language, how well a local model will run on your hardware before you download it.
  • See it think. A live "Thinking…" indicator shows when a local model is reasoning through a hard question — so you know it's working, not stuck.
  • A fresh look on your desktop. A new brand-mark app icon, crisp at every size.
  • Check for updates, anytime. A "Check for Updates" button is back in Settings → About, with an optional "check on startup" toggle (off by default) — so update checks happen on your terms. (SEQ-1245, IMP-1638)

Fixes

  • Ollama now lists the models you've actually installed — and tells you clearly when Ollama isn't running — instead of a generic placeholder list. (SEQ-1242)
  • Local AI models give clear guidance when your NVIDIA graphics driver is too old to run them, so you can update instead of hitting a confusing error. (SEQ-1243)
  • Removed a stray "add an API key" prompt that appeared for local models, which don't need one. (SEQ-1244)
  • AI replies show the time they actually arrived, in a consistent 12-hour format. (SEQ-1231/1232)
  • Model names are consistent between the setup wizard and Settings. (SEQ-1229)
  • Parent dashboard: the "Scan now" button is no longer hidden behind "Lock dashboard." (SEQ-1235)
  • Fixed the support email used by the in-app bug reporter.
