DEAS 0.2.20 BETA — Chat makes pictures, GGUF vision, runaway-writer guard

DEAS 0.2.20 BETA

Ask Chat for a picture and it draws it: Chat now writes the prompt with the Prompt Forge writer of your selected checkpoint and renders through Studio → Generate with your current settings — multi-message edits, asked sizes, and one GPU shared between the chat model and ComfyUI. Prompt Forge now refuses runaway writers instead of keeping half-finished prompts. Local GGUF models can finally see your reference pictures (#28) via a paired *.mmproj*.gguf projector. Plus valid, readable video metadata end to end, Enhanced preview prerequisites installed by the explicit backend update, in-app theme editing, -audio-enhanced naming that keeps provenance, FLAC playback in the editor, and "Use these settings" for finished videos and H3 reference media. Full list: CHANGELOG · NEWS.

Build provenance (local, unsigned fallback)

GitHub Actions are paused on this account (Verify/Release workflows disabled), so this release is built locally and unsigned — the first real launch on your machine is the acceptance test. No NSIS/deb/AppImage assets in this set.
