What changed
localreadtranslate://startWindows protocol, single-instance tray wakeup, and safe register/unregister commands.known_hostsverification.Why
The browser needed user-controlled source selection and a reliable way to initialize or start the correct local components without exposing remote credentials. Startup also needed to avoid allocating local TTS GPU memory for translation-only workflows.
Impact
Local translation remains the default. Remote processing begins only after an explicit project-server selection. The browser continues to call only
127.0.0.1:5000; SSH credentials stay in the tray process. Existing plain Ollama model names remain backward-compatible.Root cause
The previous flow coupled service availability, model initialization, and source fallback too loosely: the userscript could cross the local/remote boundary implicitly, the tray had no browser-addressable start signal, and Kokoro was loaded eagerly at API startup.
