- Local LLMs (with Ollama) are now supported for Ask Assistant.
- In `Settings → AI`, you can —
  - Change the `BASE_URI` for both OpenAI and Ollama integration.
  - Edit the system prompt if the default setting isn’t helpful.

Note — You must set up `ollama` and have it running to use it in Octarine. Ask Assistant will notify you if Ollama is not running.

**Improvements**

- `Ask Assistant` — The text area now automatically focuses for typing after the response stream ends.
- `Ask Assistant` — The system prompt has been refined for more precise responses.
- `Search` — Debounce timing has been increased to prevent spamming the results list.

**Fixes**

- `Daily Desk` — Resolved a bug that caused the app to crash when the searched text appeared in a weekly note.
- `Ask Assistant` — Fixed a bug where APIs were not whitelisted for Windows/Linux, rendering the assistant unusable.
- `Ask Assistant` — Corrected a bug preventing the error toast from displaying.
- `Editor` — Fixed syntax highlighting issues in several pro themes.
