MasterSelects Native Helper v0.3.8

Fix: cchardet compilation error (for real this time)

• Patches MatAnyone2 requirements to replace cchardet with charset-normalizer before install
• cchardet has no pre-built wheels for Python >= 3.10 and fails to compile on Windows
• charset-normalizer is a drop-in replacement that installs cleanly

Changes

• Fixed model download path — model.safetensors now saves to the correct location (%LOCALAPPDATA%/MasterSelects/matanyone2/models/)
• Launch after install — MSI installer now has a "Launch MasterSelects Helper" checkbox (default: checked)
• Python 3.11 — uses 3.11 instead of 3.12 to avoid cchardet compilation issues
• No terminal popups — all subprocesses run silently

MasterSelects Native Helper v0.3.6

Fix: cchardet compilation error

• Uses Python 3.11 instead of 3.12 for the MatAnyone2 venv
• cchardet has pre-built wheels for 3.11, avoiding C++ compilation failures
• Also deleted old 3.12 venv — will be recreated with 3.11 on next setup

MasterSelects Native Helper v0.3.5

Fixes

• No more terminal popups — all subprocesses (yt-dlp, nvidia-smi, python, curl) now run with CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag
• Fixed command names — mat_anyone_* commands now match Rust serde snake_case naming
• CUDA detection working — GPU name, VRAM, and CUDA version correctly reported

MasterSelects Native Helper v0.3.4

Fix: CUDA/GPU detection

• matanyone_status now properly runs nvidia-smi to detect GPU
• Response format flattened to match frontend expectations
