Summary

0.0.4-beta.7 hardened the install path, moved the local runtime to Hugging Face Transformers, and tightened release/package validation around sqlite-vec and bundled skill delivery.

Key Changes

• enforced sqlite-vec extension auto-detection and explicit extension-path support for global installs
• switched embeddings and reranking from @xenova/transformers to @huggingface/transformers
• updated setup/config defaults to huggingface while keeping backward compatibility for older xenova configs
• removed the earlier prebuild-install warning path from the default dependency graph
• published npm-shrinkwrap.json to stabilize package installs and transitive dependency resolution
• refreshed docs and bundled skill guidance around the canonical localnest setup flow

Practical Impact

This was the beta where the package/runtime contract moved to the Hugging Face stack and the install surface became much closer to a clean global npm install, while preserving compatibility for existing configs.

Known Context

• one upstream deprecation warning could still appear from the ONNX runtime dependency chain
• beta.8 later focused on regression fixes and release hardening after beta.7 package validation

When to Use This Page

• debugging a machine pinned to 0.0.4-beta.7
• comparing beta.7 install/runtime behavior against beta.8
• checking when the Hugging Face runtime became the shipped default
