v0.3.23-beta Highlights
- Fixed the local-model downloader: ONNX models now perform a real Hub download instead of treating a newly-created empty folder as an offline model.
- New local-first installs automatically prepare the selected Parakeet model in the background, while cloud users do not download local weights unless they select that lane.
- Model readiness now requires a verified payload manifest; empty, interrupted, stale, and deleted model folders are no longer reported as ready.
- Release CI launches the frozen EXE and proves that both packaged local speech engines and their distribution metadata can initialize.
- Processing now stays in the compact regular Pill. The full-spectrum rainbow appears only after successful completion and crossfades smoothly back to the normal Pill.
- Transactional installer rollback, checksum-verified in-app updates, capture recovery, and the fast formatting path remain included.
