6.9 — Distribution, Accounts & Tester Delivery
- Completed the native Windows installer and updater path so PAI can be distributed as a normal desktop application.
- Added Developer, Beta, and Stable update-channel architecture with verified packages, staged installation, startup health checks, rollback foundations, and repair support.
- Moved PAI-Coder toward zero-touch first-run setup with native local runtime acquisition, CUDA acceleration when supported, and CPU fallback.
- Added visible first-run PAI-Coder download percentage and downloaded/total size progress.
- Replaced the normal Local Mode path with Supabase-backed PAI account sign-in and secure saved-session restoration.
- Added Free, Founding Supporter, and Pro entitlement mapping to the desktop application.
- Hardened CI around account, entitlement, installer, dependency, frozen-executable, and release changes.
