Nori Work v1.0.0-pre.5

Highlights

• Nori Work now uses the dedicated Nori server port 58771, avoiding collisions with upstream Kimi Code on 58627.
• Health checks now identify the serving product before lock takeover, shutdown, or PID signaling, protecting unrelated processes from stale Windows locks.
• Desktop startup replaces unhealthy same-version daemons and cleans up partial child processes after launcher timeouts.
• Provider media errors recover with model-visible placeholders instead of permanently breaking the conversation.
• Empty or malformed Browser screenshots return actionable tool errors rather than invalid image payloads.

Reliability fixes

• Authenticated REST traffic now renews the daemon activity lease while WebSocket connections recover.
• Long-polling Browser requests are force-closed during shutdown, and shutdown has a bounded deadline.
• Startup health waits are bounded and emit useful diagnostics instead of leaving detached, wedged daemons.

Verification

• 274 affected behavior tests passed; 23 environment-dependent tests were skipped.
• Full workspace typecheck passed.
• Type-aware lint on all 48 changed source/test files completed with 0 errors.
• Windows Web assets, native SEA backend, Electron app, NSIS installer, blockmap, and updater metadata were rebuilt from source.
