ВЕРСИИ (6)

### I updated it and did some fixes. _I honestly hate writing these._

# Core Companion 2.2 This release makes Core Companion work on a fresh machine with nothing pre-installed, and takes the guesswork out of choosing a local AI model. ## ✨ Highlights - **First-run setup that just works.** Install the mod, join a world, and it downloads and prepares the AI for you — no terminal, no manual model commands. - **Automatic, hardware-aware model selection.** It checks the memory your machine can actually give an AI model — dedicated GPU VRAM, Apple-Silicon unified memory, or system RAM — reserves a few GB for Minecraft itself so nothing stutters, and picks the best-fitting local model (lightweight, balanced, or largest). It tells you which one it chose for your specs. - **A setup that looks intentional.** No filesystem paths dumped into chat — just a clean progress bar above your hotbar, and the look/start-mode questions only appear *after* the model finishes downloading. - **She never spawns unable to talk.** Your companion only arrives once her model is downloaded **and** warmed up, so her first reply is instant instead of a long cold-load stall. - **Helpful when the AI backend is missing.** If Ollama isn't installed or running, you get a clear in-game "install Ollama" guide instead of a cryptic error — and following, mining, and building all keep working without it. ## 🛠 Fixes & polish - Fixed first-join chat failures (`ClosedChannelException`) caused by the AI client being rebuilt mid-setup. - The download progress bar now stays on screen and updates smoothly across the whole multi-GB download, instead of flashing once and vanishing. - Dropped connections during a model download now auto-resume and retry instead of failing the whole setup. - Default companion name is now a neutral "Companion" until you name her — and renaming her no longer leaves a stale name baked into her personality. - Better server-side diagnostics when a model download or warm-up fails.
