notch 0.1.40

Opening a task now clears its red failure badge while keeping the error in the conversation. Acknowledgement survives restarting Notch, and a new failure can show a new badge.

• Show which local models are loaded in the model picker.
• Click a loaded local model again to eject it, or use the eject icon in the picker or Manage models. Ejecting releases memory and keeps downloaded files and the chat's selected model. Sending another message loads that model again.
• Selecting another local model releases the previous model before loading the next, including switches between Ollama, Colibri, Strata and managed MLX. Duplicate copies on separate local Ollama daemons are released too.
• Keep an active local response intact: finish or interrupt it before a manual model change. Queued inference retains cancellation, and failed loads report an error without claiming the new model is ready.
• Keep existing settings, conversations and downloaded models in place.

Validation: 365 desktop tests and the strict native-harness typecheck pass. Regression fixtures cover badge acknowledgement/restart, new failures, preserved error history, picker and management eject controls, release-before-load ordering across all four local providers, duplicate daemons, active-response protection, failed loads and IPC restrictions. The packaged archive matches the verified source and compiled harness.

Live GPU benchmarks and macOS/Linux inference were not run. Colibri and Strata remain experimental. Includes public CLI 0.7.34 with the updated desktop-native harness.
