### ✨ New
- Use API keys to authenticate from Desktop, Obsidian, Emacs clients
- Create API, UI on web app config page to CRUD API Keys
- Create user API keys table and functions to CRUD them in Database
### 🧪 Improve
- Default to better search model, [gte-small](https://huggingface.co/thenlper/gte-small), to improve search quality
- Only load chat model to GPU if enough space, throw error on load failure
- Show encoding progress, truncate headings to max chars supported
- Add instruction to create db in Django DB setup Readme
### ⚙️ Fix
- Fix error handling when configure offline chat via Web UI
- Do not warn in anon mode about Google OAuth env vars not being set
- Fix path to load static files when server started from project root
- Add a data model which allows us to store Conversations with users. This does a minimal lift over the current setup, where the underlying data is stored in a JSON file. This maintains parity with that configuration.
- There does _seem_ to be some regression in chat quality, which is most likely attributable to search results.
This will help us with #275. It should become much easier to maintain multiple Conversations in a given table in the backend now. We will have to do some thinking on the UI.
- Make most routes conditional on authentication *if anonymous mode is not enabled*. If anonymous mode is enabled, it scaffolds a default user and uses that for all application interactions.
- Add a basic login page and add routes for redirecting the user if logged in
- Partition configuration for indexing local data based on user accounts
- Store indexed data in an underlying postgres db using the `pgvector` extension
- Add migrations for all relevant user data and embeddings generation. Very little performance optimization has been done for the lookup time
- Apply filters using SQL queries
- Start removing many server-level configuration settings
- Configure GitHub test actions to run during any PR. Update the test action to run in a containerized environment with a DB.
- Update the Docker image and docker-compose.yml to work with the new application design
