af4db45ce9 Implement global rag-mini command with transparent virtual environment handling
- Create global wrapper script in /usr/local/bin/rag-mini
- Automatically handles virtual environment activation
- Suppress virtual environment warnings when using global wrapper
- Update installation scripts to install global wrapper automatically
- Add comprehensive timing documentation (2-3 min fast, 5-10 min slow internet)
- Add agent warnings for background process execution
- Update all documentation with realistic timing expectations
- Fix README commands to use correct syntax (rag-mini init -p .)

Major improvements:
- Users can now run 'rag-mini' from anywhere without activation
- Installation creates transparent global command automatically
- No more virtual environment complexity for end users
- Comprehensive agent/CI/CD guidance with timeout warnings
- Complete documentation consistency across all files

a84ff94fba Improve UX with streaming tokens, fix model references, and add icon integration
This comprehensive update enhances user experience with several key improvements:

## Enhanced Streaming & Thinking Display
- Implement real-time streaming with gray thinking tokens that collapse after completion
- Fix thinking token redisplay bug with proper content filtering
- Add clear "AI Response:" headers to separate thinking from responses
- Enable streaming by default for better user engagement
- Keep thinking visible for exploration, collapse only for suggested questions

## Natural Conversation Responses
- Convert clunky JSON exploration responses to natural, conversational format
- Improve exploration prompts for friendly, colleague-style interactions
- Update summary generation with better context handling
- Eliminate double response display issues

## Model Reference Updates
- Remove all llama3.2 references in favor of qwen3 models
- Fix non-existent qwen3:3b references, replace with proper model names
- Update model rankings to prioritize working qwen models across all components
- Ensure consistent model recommendations in docs and examples

## Cross-Platform Icon Integration
- Add desktop icon setup to Linux installer with .desktop entry
- Add Windows shortcuts for desktop and Start Menu integration
- Improve installer user experience with visual branding

## Configuration & Navigation Fixes
- Fix "0" option in configuration menu to properly go back
- Improve configuration menu user-friendliness
- Update troubleshooting guides with correct model suggestions

These changes significantly improve the beginner experience while maintaining
technical accuracy and system reliability.

c201b3badd Fix critical deployment issues and improve system reliability
Major fixes:
- Fix model selection to prioritize qwen3:1.7b instead of qwen3:4b for testing
- Correct context length from 80,000 to 32,000 tokens (proper Qwen3 limit)
- Implement content-preserving safeguards instead of dropping responses
- Fix all test imports from claude_rag to mini_rag module naming
- Add virtual environment warnings to all test entry points
- Fix TUI EOF crash handling with proper error handling
- Remove warmup delays that were causing startup lag and unwanted model calls
- Fix command mappings between bash wrapper and Python script
- Update documentation to reflect qwen3:1.7b as primary recommendation
- Improve TUI box alignment and formatting
- Make language generic for any documents, not just codebases
- Add proper folder names in user feedback instead of generic terms

Technical improvements:
- Unified model rankings across all components
- Better error handling for missing dependencies
- Comprehensive testing and validation of all fixes
- All tests now pass and system is deployment-ready

All major crashes and deployment issues resolved.
