v1.0.3 — Python Notebooks in Desktop App

What's New

Python notebooks now work in the desktop app. Previously, notebooks required a Jupyter kernel subprocess which couldn't run inside the frozen PyInstaller binary. This release adds an in-process Python kernel that executes code directly in the server process.

Desktop Notebook Features

• Full Python execution with persistent variables across cells
• Built-in data science stack: pandas, numpy, matplotlib, seaborn, statsmodels, scipy
• matplotlib inline rendering (charts display as PNG in cell output)
• display() function with rich HTML output (DataFrames render as HTML tables)
• SQL cells continue to work via DuckDB
• Kernel restart clears all variables
• Error tracebacks with full context

v1.0.2

What's Fixed

• Desktop app fails to start — v1.0.1 would get stuck on "Starting up..." and never open. Root cause: the Python notebook kernel manager imported jupyter_client at module level, which isn't available in the bundled desktop app. Fixed with a lazy import that gracefully degrades when Jupyter packages are absent.
