Improve

  • [AI] Improve AI model selector loading with cached provider resources so settings forms can reuse model data more reliably.

  • [Runtime] Improve Windows startup diagnostics by detecting missing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable dependencies and showing localized recovery guidance.
  • [Runtime] Improve Node.js and Python executable validation by enforcing supported minimum versions in runtime settings and host discovery, with clearer upgrade guidance for unsupported runtimes #4414
