Describer Workbench 0.6.1

Version 0.6.1 fixes all eight findings from the 0.6.0 whole-repository audit-lite review:

• Reject malformed observation metadata as a whole chunk, avoiding successful results that silently lose descriptions.
• Retry rejected chunks with a fresh provider request while retaining validated prior chunks and failure evidence.
• Restore visible subscription/API connection tests, exact typed model IDs and accurate transmission disclosure.
• Recover safely from malformed nested settings while retaining valid existing connection profiles.
• Retain and display available Ollama model family, parameter size, quantization, size and context metadata.
• Correct model-entry, timing-edit and speech-volume instructions throughout maintained documentation.
• Import valid VTT timestamps with optional hours.
• Rename prompt presets explicitly without creating duplicates.

Windows GUI and CLI are signed as Scott Converse through Azure Trusted Signing with timestamps. Compare downloads with SHA256SUMS.txt; release-verification.json records exact source identity, signing, tests and delivery verification. The portable ZIP includes FFmpeg, manuals and notices; Ollama/models/media remain separate.

Source and required Windows CI: 182 tests and 3 subtests passed. Packaged GUI startup, CLI, authenticated HTTP/OpenAPI and 17 MCP tools passed. New deterministic provider regressions exercise real normalization, checkpoint reuse, job completion, Qt dialogs and settings persistence with external boundaries mocked. Existing live-provider evidence and limits remain documented in the acceptance and connection guides.

Descriptions remain reviewed drafts. Correct facts, omitted events, printed text and timing before final export. The accepted measured Windows narration policy remains unchanged. Windows acceptance does not establish full-film factuality, active screen-reader certification or every-model entitlement. Native Mac/Linux downloads and their own evidence are published separately in the add-on release.

Documentation refreshed November 5, 2026: all-platform README, nontechnical quick start, full user and technical manuals, architecture drawings and landing page. Download DescriberWorkbench-0.6.1-documentation.zip for offline guides, or use the current website. The portable ZIP and Python archives now include current documentation; both Windows executables, application code, version and publisher signatures are unchanged. Package checksums changed. documentation-refresh.json records original/new archive hashes, documentation source and preservation checks; original application acceptance remains historical in release-verification.json. Existing installed copies can use the online/offline guides without replacing the application.
