⚡ The "Faster Flow" Update! v0.3.9 is focused on reducing friction across the app. The biggest work in this release improves the Full Mode setup flow so tool installation feels much smoother and less repetitive, while the Downloads screen now defaults to Start now and gives much better link-check feedback. This update also fixes the packaging/version mismatch that caused 0.3.9 release builds to still come out as 0.3.8. ✨ What’s New in v0.3.9? 🛠️ Tool Setup

• Faster Full Mode Setup: Full Mode no longer waits for the full four-tool startup scan before opening the install flow. The app checks the local app-managed bin first and can move into setup much faster.
• Unified Progress Flow: Startup setup and Tools-screen installs/updates now use the same progress UI with cleaner per-tool rows, shared logs, and a more consistent experience.
• Better Mixed Results Handling: Batch installs and updates now return per-tool backend results, so the UI can show partial success and failure states clearly instead of collapsing into one generic outcome.
• Removed Duplicate Success Popup: Tool installs and updates no longer stack an extra success dialog after restart. The flow now stays in one cleaner modal path. ⬇️ Downloads
• Start Now by Default: New installs now default to Start now instead of Queue when adding a download.
• One-Time Migration for Existing Installs: Existing installs that were still using the old Queue default are migrated once so the Downloads screen reflects the new default immediately. 🔎 Link Checking
• Richer Link Status UI: The old plain Checking link... hint has been replaced with a clearer status card for supported, unsupported, and unknown links.
• Faster Validation Feel: Link checks now feel faster with instant host recognition, shorter debounce, and cached repeat checks for the same URL.
• Clearer Feedback: Supported links, invalid links, and links that may still need login or slower extractors are now explained more clearly in the URL box. 🐛 Fixes & Improvements
• Startup UX: Reduced the splash delay so setup appears faster in practice.
• Release Packaging: Fixed stale Tauri app version metadata so 0.3.9 builds and release artifacts no longer fall back to 0.3.8.
• Code Quality: Centralized Lite vs Full tool-mode helpers and local app-managed tool detection to simplify maintenance around setup and update flows. 📦 Choosing Your Version
• Full (Recommended): Best for most users. Includes all dependencies pre-configured and now has a smoother startup setup flow.
• Lite: Best for power users who prefer managing their own tools manually. 📝 Note from the Developer This release is mostly about removing small points of friction that made the app feel slower or clunkier than it needed to. A lot of the work here is not flashy, but it makes setup, link checking, and everyday downloading feel much more direct and reliable.
