Screenshot Coverage
The new screenshot shows the lightweight onboarding guidance panel in the Not Running / Not Connected state.
It helps explain:
- setup hints for first-time users
- managed server startup guidance
- connection settings flow
- Direct Mode reminder
- no inference proxy behavior
Direct Mode Boundary
Direct Mode remains unchanged:
OpenAI-compatible client -> mlx_lm.server or adopted external server -> MLX model
MLX Server Manager does not proxy inference requests, act as a chat UI, or become a multi-backend wrapper.
Safety Boundary
The onboarding guidance panel is informational only.
It does not:
- install dependencies
- download models
- start external processes
- stop external processes
- restart external processes
- proxy inference
- change process ownership
Not Changed
- No Swift changes
- No Xcode project changes
- No build setting changes
- No new app binary
- No new zip asset
- No inference proxy
- No chat UI
- No multi-backend wrapper
Current Binary Asset
