docs(release): notes for v0.1.23

Plus the one em dash check-dashes.py caught in the new model picker: the
list separator is a middle dot like every other line in this view.

+# Galactus Desktop v0.1.23
+
+A native macOS app for the Galactus MoE engine: run certified open-weight
+Mixture-of-Experts models fully on-device, including models several times
+larger than your RAM.
+
+Designed and developed by Noxalis Lab.
+
+This one opens the machine up: the local API stops being text-only, and
+the Images view stops fighting the person using it.
+
+## Your Mac serves pictures and clips, not only text
+
+Server mode could answer chat completions and nothing else, while sitting
+on the diffusion models that are the reason the machine has that much
+memory. Three routes now answer on the same port, behind the same key:
+
+    POST /v1/images/generations   OpenAI's shape, so an SDK needs no
+                                  Galactus-specific code
+    POST /v1/videos/generations   plus seconds or frames, and a starting
+                                  picture and a WAV, as a path on this
+                                  Mac or inline base64
+    GET  /v1/images/models        the catalogue with this Mac's verdict
+                                  on each entry
+
+They answer whether or not a language model is running, so a Mac whose
+job is diffusion no longer has to load one it will never be asked
+anything. A chat request on such a machine gets a 503 that names the
+reason instead of an opaque gateway error.
+
+Half-compatibility is refused rather than papered over: `n` other than 1,
+`response_format: "url"`, and clip fields on a model that makes stills
+all come back as a sentence saying so.
+
+## One click opens one panel
+
+Choosing a starting picture asked for the file again and again, and the
+viewer's close button appeared to do nothing. Both were the same defect:
+a click listener was added on every repaint, so one click ran as many
+handlers as the view had been repainted since it opened. Fixed at the
+root, with a guard so the viewer cannot open in duplicate either.
+
+## The Images view stops burying its own form
+
+The model is chosen from a list now, not from eleven cards of measured
+prose that pushed the prompt and the gallery below the fold; the chosen
+one explains itself underneath. Generation and download carry a bar with
+a percentage, travelling rather than showing a frozen zero while a video
+model loads. A starting picture can be one this app already made, offered
+as a strip beside the file panel. And pictures and clips save to
+Downloads in one click, from the tile or from the viewer, with a clip's
+soundtrack alongside it.
+
+## Housekeeping
+
+The relay still refuses to listen without a key, the engine still binds
+127.0.0.1 and nothing else, and the new routes pass the same door as the
+old ones: the key is checked before any work begins.
