Notch 0.1.42 is the next stable Windows release of the local-model and console-window fixes validated in 0.1.41.

  • Download Ollama/MLX files without mounting them or failing because free RAM changes. Retained downloads are reused; memory and context are checked when loading.
  • Keep mount/eject/remount operations coordinated. Reject failed Strata stops and prevent stale refreshes or delayed replies from restoring incorrect Loaded labels.
  • Wait for model-selection persistence before sending the next message. Keep named loading feedback inside the selector.
  • Detect Colibri initialization failures and fall back to another supported backend.
  • Avoid detached Windows consoles for background servers and shell supervisors.

The app, executable metadata, installer and updater manifest use version 0.1.42. Settings, chats and downloaded model locations retain the same application identity.

Validation: 381 automated tests and strict type checking pass, plus packaged artifact and runtime checks. A Windows temporary-folder cleanup retry makes the test harness more reliable.

Live benchmarks remain skipped. Colibri previously passed real load/eject checks on the Radeon 8060S using CPU fallback after Vulkan initialization failed. No Strata model weights are installed on the test PC, so live Strata weight loading and live NVIDIA/macOS/Linux execution remain unverified.
