feat: add option to disable on-device AI model download#21
Merged
Conversation
Adds a -disable-ai-download CLI flag (default on) and a matching GUI checkbox that applies three changes when enabled: - chrome://flags/#optimization-guide-on-device-model -> Disabled - chrome://flags/#prompt-api-for-gemini-nano -> Disabled - GenAILocalFoundationalModelSettings = 1 (Enterprise policy) The chrome://flags overrides are written to each detected profile's Local State under browser.enabled_labs_experiments. The Enterprise policy is written to the platform-specific managed-policy store: - macOS: defaults write com.google.Chrome ... - Linux: /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/go-chrome-ai.json - Windows: HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome (REG_DWORD) GUI is reorganised into a draggable HSplit with configuration on the left and run controls plus logs on the right; CLI prints the same action breakdown before applying changes. The GitHub repository URL is now displayed in both surfaces. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
