ALi Imagine v0.4.9

First-run compatibility

ALi Imagine now opens as a usable studio before any local engine, model, hardware
certification, API key, or existing project is present.

Fixed a clean-install crash caused by a development-machine database path.
Clean installs now store state in macOS Application Support.
Added a zero-install Explore Interface path.
Made xAI Grok the safe optional cloud path after adding an API key.
Deferred LTX, Krea, FLUX, Hugging Face, and media discovery until needed.
Prevented Library navigation from re-hashing multi-gigabyte model assets on
the UI path.
Moved local capability checks off the Tauri command thread so page changes
remain responsive.
Preserved existing projects and local-engine installations.

Download the Apple Silicon DMG.
Drag ALi-Imagine to Applications.
On first launch, right-click the app and choose Open if macOS displays an
unidentified-developer warning.
Explore the interface immediately, add an xAI key, or configure local engines
later from System.

The application is ad-hoc signed and is not yet Apple-notarized.
