February 2026 — Delivered opt-in Custom Whisper GGML model discovery for Handy (cjpais/handy), enabling automatic detection and use of GGML (.bin) models without source changes. Implemented backend discovery and UI integration, updated the model selector to three sections (Custom, Downloaded, Downloadable) with badges, collapsible area for downloadable models, and improved long-list handling. Added 3 unit tests for discovery logic, introduced a custom_models_enabled setting to control rollout, and ensured immediate application of model toggles with startup stability improvements. Localization keys updated and docs refreshed. Business impact: enhances customization reach for power users, reduces maintainer burden, and improves UX and reliability for model selection and management.
