Apple's Foundation Models framework is still under active development
(built against macOS 27 beta) and likely to stay rough for a while —
small 4K context window, occasional generation errors, no tool
support yet. Surface that clearly wherever it appears:
- Model name: "Apple On-Device (Beta)" (shows in header/model picker)
- Model description: notes the beta status and what to expect
- Settings -> General: "⚠️ Beta — ..." disclaimer under the Apple
Intelligence section, same style as the existing Paperless-NGX beta
note
- Credits panel: same disclaimer for the Apple Intelligence entry

Apple Intelligence / Foundation Models is now genuinely available on
this machine (macOS 27 beta 4) — it was reverted back in June
(f63226b) when it wasn't. Ports the reverted AppleFoundationProvider
forward onto 2.4.3, adapted for everything that's changed since:
PolyForm license headers, current AIProvider protocol shape, current
Settings.Provider/ProviderRegistry/CreditsView/SettingsView structure.
Fixes a real bug found via live testing: LanguageModelSession.
GenerationError was deprecated in macOS 27.0 in favor of a new
LanguageModelError type. On a macOS 27+ runtime, generation failures
now throw LanguageModelError, not GenerationError, so the original
error-mapping catch never matched and Apple's raw error text leaked
to the user instead of oAI's friendly message. Now dispatches to
whichever type the runtime actually throws, gated with
@available(macOS 27.0, *), keeping the old GenerationError path as
a fallback for macOS 26.x (the app's actual deployment target).
Confirmed end-to-end in the live app: provider selectable, Settings
shows a live "Available" badge, chat header shows correct branding,
and — a real, expected Phase 1 limitation — oAI's default system
prompt (active Agent Skills + MCP tool guidance, ~16K tokens on this
machine) exceeds the on-device model's 4K context window on the
very first message. The friendly error message now correctly reports
this instead of Apple's raw string. Tool calling remains out of scope
until Phase 3.

Consolidates the mac.oai.pm subdomain references (introduced in the
PolyForm Noncommercial relicense) to the root oai.pm domain, across
the LICENSE file, README, and all Swift source file headers.

Switches the project from AGPL to a source-available license that
restricts commercial use — selling oAI or any part of it, standalone
or bundled into another product/service, now requires a separate
commercial license from the copyright holder. Noncommercial use,
study, modification, and sharing remain fully permitted.
Updates: LICENSE (canonical PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 text +
commercial licensing contact note), SPDX headers and file-header
boilerplate across all Swift source files, the in-app About dialog's
license link (+ its localization catalog entry), README.md and
DEVELOPMENT.md license sections.
