rapid-mac-v0.13.2

[0.13.2] — 2026-08-30

Rapid-MLX 0.13.2 makes long-running local assistants faster and more reliable,
improves offline speech and Desktop safety, and promotes the exact signed
Desktop candidate that passed release validation.

Added

• Opt-in native MTP for Qwen3.8 Flash-Next. Target verification and atomic
  recurrent-state rollback raise measured decode throughput by 36–42% across
  128-token through 32K-context workloads while constrained requests retain
  ordinary decoding.
• Conversation titles and follow-up suggestions. Completed local chats can
  derive a short title and offer three optional next steps without replacing a
  user rename or displaying malformed output.
• Privacy-bounded activation milestones. Desktop records the first
  successful chat, dictation, and generated image only after explicit consent.

Changed

• Flash-Next long-context prefill is faster and reusable. Batched QSA
  index-cache construction reduced measured 2K, 8K, and 32K time to first token
  by 28.9–32.5%, and semantic snapshots preserve reusable recurrent state
  through batching and persistence.
• The Desktop download is smaller. LZMA packaging and dependency-proven
  pruning reduced the signed comparison DMG by 43.53% while retaining the
  release contract.
• First-chat recommendations follow available memory. New installs choose
  a smaller default below 16 GB and prefer an eligible cached model in the same
  memory tier.

Fixed

• Photo limits no longer make text chat look broken. When a model's vision
  lane needs more memory than the Mac has, Desktop now says that text chat is
  still ready, recommends a lower-memory vision model, and dismisses the notice
  after the user continues. (#2778)
• Offline Kokoro pulls include their runtime assets, image attachments enforce
  count and encoded-size budgets, and generated-image deletion uses a stable
  app-owned confirmation sheet.
• Model switching, request cancellation, required tool calls, explicit model
  variants, oversized vision inputs, image-edit dimensions, suffix rollback,
  MTP cache publication, and multilingual Parakeet metadata now retain their
  validated contracts across the engine and Desktop.
• Web browsing pins validated IPv4 and IPv6 destinations while preserving TLS
  hostname verification, and Desktop credentials stay in Keychain-backed,
  rotation-aware storage.
• Protected publication promotes the exact signed and notarized Desktop
  candidate bytes that passed pre-tag validation. (#2775)
