Post-update UX for the next release (0.1.2):
- What's New: after a version change, greet the user with a toast that opens
an in-app release-notes screen (collapsible Added/Changed/Fixed sections)
sourced from the bundled CHANGELOG.md, reopenable from Settings -> Updates.
Backed by a last_seen_version settings file (get/set_last_seen_version
commands) that distinguishes upgrades from fresh installs.
- Updater: the download/install progress toast now reappears when an update is
started from the title-bar indicator or Settings after the prompt was
dismissed; Settings -> Updates gains a real progress bar with a percentage.
- Light theme: fix the recurring subtle-light breakage. Neutral surfaces now
rely on the CSS-variable remap instead of light-theme:bg-white (which forced
surfaces dark because --color-white is remapped dark); the green action
buttons drop the broken light-theme:hover:bg-emerald-200 (remapped dark,
unreadable on hover) for an override-free emerald-500 tint that auto-themes,
across the updater, What's New, and onboarding.
- Debug panel: add What's New triggers (toast / modal / reset).
Bump version to 0.1.1 (package.json, Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock), date the
changelog section (2026-06-23), and add the GitHub release-notes draft.
QoL release on top of 0.1.0: custom multi-folder picker, theme system,
timeline scrubber, folder reordering, gallery/duplicate-finder
virtualisation, video playback settings, rebuild-semantic-index action,
plus AVIF thumbnail, video-embedding, and Subtle Light theme fixes.
- new StepUpdates: explains the title-bar update indicator with a mini
app-window mockup, and introduces the aperture mark as the app's identity
- move the tour-closing copy off the AI features step onto this final step
- changelog: note the title-bar update indicator + one-click install, and the
new onboarding step
Phase 6 release collateral:
- README: Installation (unsigned-build/SmartScreen note, requirements,
first-run downloads) and Privacy & local-first sections
- CHANGELOG.md seeded with the 0.1.0 feature set
- docs/release-notes-0.1.0.md draft for the GitHub Release body
Also corrects the CLIP model download size from ~330 MB to ~580 MB (the
actual model.safetensors is 577 MB) across the docs and the onboarding UI.
