ScreenSearch v0.3.0 Subtraction & Flow

Removed (each deletes a decision you no longer have to make):

Click / scroll-stop / clipboard / typing-pause capture triggers the first two were the only users of a system-wide low-level mouse hook (WH_MOUSE_LL); the clipboard listener was a privacy-optics liability; typing-pause duplicated idle. Foreground + idle (plus the fallback interval, debounce, and rate ceiling) carry all the value.
The Beta model tier the only non-Apache license (NVIDIA OML) and only unproven hybrid architecture in the registry. Default/Quality remain, uniformly Apache-2.0. A persisted beta selection loads as Quality automatically.
The image-embedding lane dark-launched, flag-off, unexercised. The v8→v9 migration drops only the derived vectors; screenshots, text, and text embeddings are untouched.
Added: the Ctrl+Alt+Space Flow overlay (visible in single-digit milliseconds, capture-protected so it never appears in its own history), Where-was-i + Mark-this-moment (Ctrl+Alt+M, lands a frame even on a static screen; intentions live on the Deck, no badge counts), an opt-in localhost HTTP API (127.0.0.1-only, bearer token, SSE ask, JSON export that works with the API off), and screensearch-mcp.exe in the installer a stdio MCP server for Claude Desktop / Claude Code.

Full details in CHANGELOG-ARCHIVE.md §[0.3.0]. Unsigned NSIS installer attached; code-signing remains the known packaging follow-up.
