## v1.2.010 — 2026-06-20
- fix: **The app no longer fails to launch on some PCs with a "DLL initialization routine failed" error.** On certain machines an outdated system Visual C++ runtime prevented the on-device AI components (memory embeddings and the default voice) from initializing, which crashed the app at startup before any window appeared. The app now ships the up-to-date runtime alongside those components so they load correctly regardless of the version installed on the system. As an extra safeguard, these components now fail gracefully — the pet still starts (with reduced memory/voice features) — if any load problem remains.
