v0.6.8

## The desktop app comes to Linux

This release ships native Linux desktop builds for the first time — an AppImage, a `.deb`, and a `.tar.xz`, all x64, attached below alongside the Windows and macOS installers (#739, thanks @UrbsKali). The AppImage carries `latest-linux.yml` update metadata like the other platforms.

## Routing

- **Explore unmeasured models** (#731). A new model in your chain used to starve: with no reliability samples it never scored high enough to be picked, so it never earned any samples either. An opt-in toggle — tucked at the bottom of the Routing strategy card, off by default — gives models with fewer than 5 recent samples a 10% chance to be tried first so they build a track record. Manual mode is unaffected.
- **Groundwork for community reliability priors** (#744). The scoring engine can now seed a brand-new model's reliability from community-sourced counts instead of a coin flip. It is entirely inert for now — nothing uploads or downloads anything, priors are capped so your own traffic always outweighs them, and the whole path sits behind a default-off setting until the data-sharing design lands.

## Models

- Pick a model's capability tier — Frontier / Large / Medium / Small — straight from the model detail page (#742). The tier feeds the intelligence axis of routing and is saved as a local override, so it survives catalog updates; picking "None (unscored)" clears it.

## Keys

- Probe a custom endpoint on demand (#730). The new lightning-bolt action fires one real 1-token completion through the normal proxy path, so a fresh endpoint gets an honest latency/reliability sample immediately instead of waiting for live traffic to find it. Success clears any cooldown on the key; failures tell you why.

## Translations

Every new string in this release ships translated in all 60 dashboard locales.

## Install

```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/tashfeenahmed/freellmapi:latest
```

Desktop installers are attached below. The macOS DMG is unsigned, so on first launch use right-click then Open rather than double-clicking. On Linux, `chmod +x` the AppImage or install the `.deb` with `dpkg -i`.
