notch 0.1.44
Fixes the remaining Windows terminal flashes during local model discovery and loading. Managed Ollama now runs in a persistent hidden Windows pseudoconsole, including its GPU-discovery children. Official Ollama binaries, AMD/NVIDIA backend selection and context policies are retained.
Existing Notch-managed runtimes transition under the shared inference lock and restore resident models. The host survives normal app exit and lives outside installed program files so updates can replace the IDE. Startup failures release the coordination lock and remain retryable.
Validation: desktop regression tests and strict typecheck; native failure, nested-process, output-drain and persistence checks; existing Qwen load/eject/remount without generation; packaged and installed startup/loading/failure/retry checks with continuous console observation. Settings, chats and downloaded models retain the same locations and application identity.
Benchmarks and new model downloads were skipped. Live Strata weight loading remains unverified on this PC. This Windows x64 installer is unsigned.
