Release v1.0.4

"The Compatibility Update"

This release focuses on maximum stability across different hardware configurations (AMD, Intel, Nvidia) and fixing startup crashes related to corrupted models or missing drivers.

🛠️ Critical Fixes

1. Robust CPU Fallback (AMD / Intel Support)

Problem: Previously, if an AMD user tried to run the app, it would crash instantly because it tried to load Nvidia CUDA libraries by default.
Fix: The app now silently detects if CUDA initialization fails (due to missing DLLs or incompatible hardware) and automatically falls back to CPU mode.
Result: The app "just works" on any Windows machine, regardless of GPU.

2. Startup Crash Protection

Problem: If faster_whisper was imported before checking for valid drivers, the app would crash on launch for some users.
Fix: Implemented Lazy Loading for the AI engine. The app now starts the UI first, and only loads the heavy AI libraries inside a safety block that catches errors.

3. Corrupt Model Auto-Repair

Problem: Interrupted downloads could leave a corrupted model folder, preventing the app from ever starting again.
Fix: If the app detects a "vocabulary missing" or invalid config error, it will now automatically delete the corrupt folder and allow you to re-download it cleanly.

4. Windows DLL Injection

Fix: Added explicit DLL path injection for nvidia-cublas and nvidia-cudnn to ensure Python 3.8+ can find the required CUDA libraries on Windows systems that don't have them in PATH.
