What changed, without the theater.

0.1.6 — Quick Ask setup that stays out of the way

Status: Signed direct-release update for CueStash customers.

• Hides the model field for CueStash Hosted because the hosted service selects and maintains its fast model.
• Adds model-route selection and exact setup guidance to first-run onboarding.
• Shows existing customers a one-time Quick Ask guide that opens the correct Settings tab.
• Keeps CueStash Hosted behind an active $6/month live Stripe subscription while local, BYOK, compatible endpoints, and eligible OpenAI subscriptions remain independent.
• Polishes the sidecar, full-screen overlay behavior, input focus, inline answers, notifications, answer retention, and bounded composer sizing.
