Python 3.12+ builds the blank HTML using committed runtime assets:
python tools/project.py verify
python tools/project.py buildTests additionally use Node.js 24 and pnpm 11.25.0. Complete build instructions and repository map.
Archives are processed locally. The application does not upload chats or generate new AI replies. Exports containing your chats remain private files; a clicked external source link can open its website. Save modifies the selected source when supported, so start with a copy. FAQ.
