Upgrade CUDA toolkit from 12.6 (cu126) to 12.8 (cu128) for proper
RTX 50-series (Blackwell) GPU support. Users with RTX 5070/5080/5090
were reporting CUDA detection failures with cu126.
Also fix the GPU Acceleration settings panel where the 'Switch to CPU
Backend' button was unreachable — it was inside a conditional block
that required !isCurrentlyCuda, making it impossible to switch back
to CPU once running on CUDA.
Closes#315
- Fix is_nvidia_file() to match NVIDIA DLLs in _internal/torch/lib/
(PyInstaller 6.18 + torch 2.10 no longer uses nvidia/ subdirectories)
- Remove deprecated split_binary.py (both archives are under 2GB)
- Update torch_compat range to >=2.6.0,<2.11.0
- Update build docs for new dual-archive packaging flow
Switch CUDA builds from PyInstaller --onefile to --onedir and split the
output into two separately versioned archives:
1. Server core (~200-400MB) — versioned with the app, redownloaded on
every app update
2. CUDA libs (~2GB) — versioned independently (cu126-v1), only
redownloaded when the CUDA toolkit or torch version changes
This eliminates the ~2.4GB full redownload on every version bump.
After initial setup, most app updates only need ~200-400MB.
Closes#297
