Eraser tool behavior on the Background layer.

Aligning the eraser tool's functionality with common expectations in professional paint applications, where erasing on a background layer typically reveals the background color rather than being 'locked out.' This aims for intuitive user experience and feature parity with industry standards.

This issue points to a deviation from standard behavior for the eraser tool on the background layer in PhotoCraft. Instead of revealing the background color, the tool is 'locked out.' This represents a significant usability friction point for users accustomed to professional image editing softwar...

Mechanism for disabling Apple Intelligence features on macOS.

The tool leverages deprecated macOS restriction keys and preference forcing to disable Apple Intelligence, circumventing Apple's shift towards MDM-only 'Declarative Management' for `IntelligenceSettings`. This positions the tool as a workaround for individual users lacking MDM supervision.

This discussion reveals a critical technical challenge for `RemoveMacAI`: Apple's deprecation of direct restriction keys in favor of MDM-controlled `IntelligenceSettings` via 'Declarative Management.' The tool's current reliance on deprecated keys and preference forcing highlights a cat-and-mouse...

Lack of clear user feedback regarding platform-specific model availability (EAC channel models like DeepSeek / Kimi) in `dsh-our-free-model` when running on non-desktop environments (dsh web / command line).

The plugin aims to provide free, unlimited access to frontier models. However, its current implementation creates user confusion by silently failing to display models unavailable on specific host environments, contradicting the expectation of clear communication.

This issue exposes a significant user experience flaw in `dsh-our-free-model`: the silent unavailability of EAC channel models (DeepSeek, Kimi) on non-desktop DSH environments. Users are left without any UI or log feedback, leading to confusion and the perception of a broken installation. This di...
