This mitigates an intermittent clipboard timing issue; it does not guarantee all Viber failures are resolved. UI Automation is unchanged.

+
+Image clipboard capture and automatic/uncached manual history OCR run in short-lived KSwitcher.Screenshot.exe processes. Keep all three executables together. Original clipboard formats, image limits, privacy exclusions, Windows OCR, optional Tesseract and searchable encrypted OCR results are preserved. Background OCR is cancelled on shutdown or an OCR-profile change; late results do not recreate deleted entries.
+
+Consecutive duplicates use SHA-256 fingerprints inside the encrypted history index, including pixel fingerprints for equivalent image encodings. Older entries acquire fingerprints on first comparison without a bulk migration. Pins and OCR caches survive duplicate detection; non-consecutive copies still create separate entries. New text no longer loads the preceding image to rule out a duplicate. No shortcut, setting or default changed.
+
+Moving OCR isolates its temporary memory rather than reducing the combined processing peak. A controlled three-run comparison retained about 0.8 MiB less private RAM in the caller after recognition; combined peak RAM was about 55.6 MiB before and 56.6 MiB with the helper. Results depend on the image, OCR engine and system.

 # Latest Windows release
 
-## v0.6.26 — 2026-11-02
+## v0.6.37 — 2026-11-04
 
 ## Changes
-- Settings → Sync… is available to everyone. Connect your own OpenBao KV v2 with a username and password; synchronization is disabled by default and no server is built in.
-- Synchronize at startup, approximately two seconds after saving settings, and every 10 minutes in the background. Local operation continues offline.
-- Merge independent settings changes and resolve conflicts individually, with local/server values shown side by side. Unresolved values stay pending while independent changes synchronize. Every server write uses CAS to protect concurrent changes.
-- Snippets have stable IDs and retained deletion records. Independent snippets, renames and text edits can merge; deletion versus editing and duplicate shortcuts/triggers receive explicit conflict handling.
-- Personal dictionaries, exclusions, shortcuts and layout preferences synchronize. Startup, history, local paths, connection details and credentials stay on the PC. Passwords use Windows Credential Manager; cached sync state uses DPAPI.
-- Existing profiles migrate to sync envelope version 2. Update every participating PC before using the new synchronization behavior.
+- Image clipboard history capture runs in KSwitcher.Screenshot.exe, so Windows clipboard image allocations are released when the helper exits. The configured size limit, privacy exclusions and original clipboard formats are preserved.
+- Automatic and uncached manual history OCR run in the same helper executable, in a separate short-lived process. Only encrypted requests and recognized text cross the process boundary. Windows OCR and optional Tesseract remain supported; profile changes and shutdown cancel background work, and deleted entries are not recreated by late results.
+- Consecutive duplicate detection uses SHA-256 fingerprints stored inside the encrypted index. Exact payloads, image representations and decoded pixels can be compared without loading the previous record. Old entries acquire fingerprints on first comparison; pins and cached OCR are preserved. This does not introduce global deduplication.
+- Copying text after an image no longer loads the previous image just to rule out a duplicate. Settings, shortcuts and defaults are unchanged. Keep all three executables together.
 
 ## Validation
-91 sync/protocol/conflict checks, 423 native regressions, 510 input/UI checks, screenshot editor and PNG save regressions, shared wheel handling, notification registration, 48 updater checks and updater progress checks. Initial upload and personal-dictionary synchronization were confirmed against the user's OpenBao. Two-physical-PC production testing is still pending.
+Staged build: dictionary equivalence for 140,939 words, 105 sync checks, wheel batching, 313 native checks, 559 input checks, screenshot UI/PNG/notification registration, 48 updater checks and updater progress UI. Windows OCR tests cover helper equivalence, cancellation, failure, encrypted temporary-file cleanup, persisted background search and unchanged clipboard. Optional Tesseract and clipboard-capture integration are also verified.
 
-## Limitations
-OpenBao synchronization is experimental and requires a reachable HTTPS server with a trusted certificate, KV v2 and a provisioned userpass account/policy. It does not provide account registration, MFA login, non-root namespaces or reverse-proxy URL prefixes. Ordered layout/language lists are resolved as whole settings. Deletion records are retained without expiry. Missing keyboard layouts block applying a profile. Download/Upload replace a whole profile and are intended for initial setup or deliberate recovery; use Resolve individual conflicts for normal conflicts. Existing browser-selection and clipboard/accessibility limitations remain unchanged.
+Three controlled OCR comparisons used the same image and settings: retained private working set in the isolated test process fell by about 0.8 MiB. Combined parent/helper peak RAM did not fall (about 55.6 versus 56.6 MiB); the large peak is now outside the resident process and disappears when the helper exits. A separate live screenshot test finished at 4.41 MiB private working set in the main application. These observations are not fixed memory limits or guarantees for another machine/workload.
