TARS DESKTOP 2.0.0 - DOWNLOAD VERIFICATION

Verified 2026-10-18 before packaging:
- Source/build checker passed: 22 JavaScript files, 34 required files, 15 served assets.
- Controlled tests: 59 total, 56 passed, 3 opt-in Windows speech tests skipped, 0 failed.
- Windows PowerShell scripts parsed without errors.
- Extractable-folder launcher dry run, actual hidden startup, matching-process
  reuse and verified shutdown passed in a normal Windows user session.
- Test server used an alternate loopback port; existing TARS and Ollama were
  preserved. No browser, microphone or live model request was opened by this check.
- The ZIP excludes .runtime, artifacts, .git, logs, conversations, audio,
  model weights, personal files, development credentials and local shortcuts.

The app code and bundled renderer/assets match the desktop release. Distribution
changes are recipient setup documents, portable Node discovery and optional CMD
launch wrappers. No Node/Ollama binaries or model weights are bundled. Dependency
installation and the model download are explicit user steps in START HERE.txt.

Prior desktop testing exercised real local model generation and cancellation.
This packaging pass did not repeat inference or physical microphone/speaker tests.
Your hardware, model memory use, speech quality and browser compatibility may vary.

Checksums for every packaged file are supplied alongside the public download.
