Fluent 1.2 - Major Feature Update

Honestly, this release is truly amazing. Much has been improved and added with custom providers, model switching, and more!

Feature: Custom Providers. Feel free to add Ollama, LM Studio, Anthropic, Grok... Any OpenAI compatible API works!
Feature: Model Switching in Smart Panel. Quickly change models to run actions on, using TAB (or SHIFT+TAB to go backwards).
Feature: Generation Status and Request Cancellation. Located at the bottom of the Smart Panel.
Feature: Switch Global Default Model quickly via the menu bar icon.
Feature: Rendering now supports code blocks (still in Beta!).

Improve: Content Formatting. When you Insert or Copy the result from Fluent, it aims to persist the original formatting (headings, lists, links, text styling etc.) you had, and it already does it very well!
Improve: AI Engine Overhaul. Everything OpenAI compatible now runs through a unified interface, bringing more stable and predictable results.
Improve: Rendering and streaming are now even smoother and more fluid.
