Stability and reliability improvements. This update is internal maintenance only. Your existing data, settings, and workflows are unchanged.

PocketModel now verifies the exact length and SHA-256 of catalog model bytes before they can be installed or loaded. Interrupted or mismatched downloads remain quarantined with clear retry and delete recovery, while user-imported models receive a separate locally verified receipt after hashing.

PocketModel improves release reliability while keeping private local chat unchanged. Model choice, device-fit guidance, runtime fallback, and on-device conversation storage remain clear across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

PocketModel keeps model choice and private local chat primary. Discover uses a readable adaptive layout across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, while catalog filters, diagnostics, and maintenance stay disclosed until needed. Model provenance, device fit, runtime fallback, and local privacy remain visible.

Version 2.6.11 build 9 simplifies the default local-chat flow. Discover now leads with Apple Foundation Models where available or a recommended local GGUF model, keeps catalog filters behind one Refine control in Simple mode, and moves storage/catalog maintenance details out of the way unless they need attention. Library now focuses on models that need action and models ready to use before maintenance details.
