Uploaded Strata-0.1.34.zip
Extracted to the Strata-0.1.34 folder.
Ran the START-HERE.bat file:

Strata - Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on a normal PC (a GPU + system RAM + CPU)
Traceback (most recent call last):

At the same time, SETUP.bat correctly configures the model and launches it.

    Fixed in 0.1.35: a config from an earlier install that is empty or doesn't parse is skipped with a one-line note (setup goes on as a fresh install), and setup now writes its configs atomically, so an interrupted run can't leave an empty one. Run START-HERE.bat (Linux: ./setup.sh) once to update.
