v1.2.7

1.2.7

• Windows: survive closing Windows Terminal tabs (detach with breakaway from job + DETACHED_PROCESS).
• Windows: fix pip olly spawn (olly.exe re-invoked directly, not python.exe olly.exe).
• Windows: launch-at-login registers pythonw.exe + main.py (no console flash).
• Windows: installer creates Desktop and Start Menu .lnk shortcuts via pythonw.
• Windows: fix launch.bat Ollama wait loop (cmd parsing).
• Single-instance guard: double-clicking the shortcut surfaces the running popup instead of spawning a duplicate.
• Onboarding: Start when I sign in checkbox (checked by default).
• macOS: screenshot/vision flow no longer auto-sends — attach image, type your question, then Enter.
• macOS: throttle foreground-app osascript lookups to reduce permission prompts.

v1.2.6

1.2.6

• Windows: fix olly failing silently after terminal detach (re-invoke sys.executable + sys.argv instead of a fresh -c subprocess so Qt plugin paths are preserved).

v1.2.5

1.2.5

• Windows: spawn detached child via pythonw + CREATE_NO_WINDOW for reliable tray startup.
• Print a one-line confirmation when starting from a terminal.

v1.2.4

1.2.4

• Add bootstrap.py entry point so terminal detach runs before PyQt/app imports.
• Windows: spawn the olly.exe launcher directly in the detached child.

v1.2.3

1.2.3

• Fix Windows crash when olly detaches from the terminal (sys.stdout is None; skip console log handler, file log unchanged).
