PCS 0.9.10

A focused pre-release based on the matching 0.9.9 source and Windows package. Interface, Help and diagnostic build identity: 0.9.10.

OpenAI conversation flow

• Keep a never-sent answer pending: a preventive allowance wait holds one first response request for up to two minutes. When admitted it is requested once; the question, audio, tool calls and completed actions are not replayed. Stop, Lock, Cancel waiting answer, superseding input, connection changes and revoked authority retire the pending request.
• Calibrate from matching usage: owned positive response receipts replace the initial cold estimate, while preserving later inputs, optional-image accounting, output reserve and safety margin. Missing, zero, malformed, stale or unrelated receipts do not reset known context.
  Wait on blocking windows: reevaluate the numerical limits actually blocking dispatch, including sufficient fresh telemetry. Do not wait for unrelated healthy windows. This does not increase provider limits or assume linear refill.
• Truthful feedback: distinguish pending first answers from provider-rejected responses. Actual rejected/cancelled requests and tool actions retain their no-replay handling. Conversation, memory and indexing receipts have separate labels, with advisory allowance observations shown separately. Bug reports include bounded, content-free decision details.

Materials workspace

• Documents | Notebooks | Reference notes: documents are visible first instead of appearing below the notebook collection. Folder & help is compact once the library is populated; current sharing controls stay visible.
• Selected-document actions: Read document, Prepare reading notes, related saved preparations and Add to notebook appear together. Preparation retains explicit provider/content review. Adding a reference opens a draft; Save notebook is still required.
• Independent source picker: search and page Documents, Prepared notes and Retained research directly inside a notebook. No need to visit Materials or load more catalog pages first. Exact revisions and unsaved edits are preserved.
• Retire stale results: refresh removes old passage excerpts and invalidates delayed reads. Failed refresh is distinguished from a successful empty library. Old preparations remain accessible in Reference notes after originals change or disappear, with their original coverage.
• Compact responsive lists, notebook search, reference-note filters and an explicit Discard unsaved draft action. Discard does not delete saved records.

Updating

1. Choose Quit PCS and wait for PCS closed. Back up your existing data folder, including its Materials subfolder.
2. Extract PCS-0.9.10-Windows-x64.zip into a new folder. Keep your previous installation intact.
3. Before starting the new version, copy your existing data folder into the new PCS folder, beside Start PCS.exe. Copy it—do not move your only copy or merge separate data folders.
4. Run the new Start PCS.exe, choose Unlock existing, and use your current passphrase. Check your saved records and settings, then refresh Materials while the conversation is stopped.

Re-select your automatic-backup destination if you use that feature, and update any shortcut that still opens the old version. Never run two PCS copies against the same data folder simultaneously.

Verify the download using PCS-0.9.10-SHA256SUMS.txt.
