Chunked replies no longer arrive empty, and the model list believes the provider
Version 1.0.2 fixes a reply arriving empty when DeepSeek answers with a list of content chunks rather than a single string. The AI Client's parser does not read chunks, so they were dropped and the request looked successful while returning nothing.
The model picker is tidier. Models the provider serves for other tasks, such as transcription, speech and moderation, are no longer offered as text models, because the task the provider declares is now believed rather than guessed from the model's name, and entries the provider marks as internal no longer appear at all. Where a provider publishes no task or capability data for a model, the connector still falls back to inference from its identifier.
The reasoning effort selector and the list of levels the connector accepts are now one list, tested against each other, so the selector cannot offer a level that would then be refused. Its description no longer claims that a model which always reasons ignores the setting; which levels a model accepts is the provider's business, and a model may ignore or refuse the level chosen. The base URL override wording now says that WordPress restricts which hosts and ports an outbound request may reach.
