notch 0.1.39
Local follow-up conversations now work when a model is already loaded and available memory is low. Wikipedia and other retrieved or cited pages appear in the Sources panel, including in previously saved chats.
- Scale built-in prompts and tool descriptions to the selected context: shorter at 8K, with more detail at 16K and 32K+. Preserve custom instructions and explicit context selections.
- Add hardware-aware experimental Colibri and Strata options. Select supported backends and context sizes automatically, including detection of Radeon 8060S configurations. Unsupported hardware stays visible with an explanation. Engine and model downloads remain separate from the installer.
- Automatically open model management when no usable local model is found. Accept a drive root for Strata model storage by creating a dedicated subfolder.
- Suppress background Windows command windows and correct executable branding. Remove remaining focus rings while retaining keyboard navigation.
- Remove duplicate built-in content-moderation prompt instructions while keeping tool permissions and project access checks.
- Preserve existing settings, conversations and downloaded models. A missing app-owned temporary task folder can be recreated when resuming its chat.
Validation: 351 desktop tests, 785 CLI tests and both strict typechecks pass. The actual installed Windows app completes a question and verbose follow-up using a real local Gemma model at 8K; Wikipedia is visible in both new and older Sources panels. Installation and post-update checks confirm existing chats, settings and models are preserved.
Colibri and Strata remain experimental. Live GPU benchmarks, live Strata inference, paid cloud inference and macOS/Linux were not verified. Includes public CLI 0.7.34 and the updated desktop-native harness.
