• ReaAssist data now lives in a dedicated Data folder. Preferences, provider records, selections, runtime state, FX cache, and debug logs are migrated out of REAPER ExtState / shipped Resources files into Data/, with cleanup of legacy entries after successful writes.
• Factory Reset is cleaner and more complete. Reset now wipes the new data/config files, avoids recreating stale state during the clean-boot pass, and keeps onboarding/model-default state from leaking back in after reset.
• The updater and repair dialogs are more polished. Update prompts, repair prompts, progress cells, completion text, wrapping, and alignment now match the installer-style presentation more closely.
• Prompt guidance is tighter for JSFX, MIDI, and Gemini failures. JSFX memory-heavy effects get a focused DSP cookbook, MIDI bass/part derivation handles musical intent more carefully, and Gemini provider outages are reported as provider availability problems instead of user/setup failures.
