Bug: HuggingChat macOS app cannot connect to the internet after update

Hi, the HuggingChat app launches successfully on my Mac, but after the latest update, it no longer connects to the internet or to the model.

Details:

• macOS version: Sequoia 15.5 (MacBook Pro M3 Max)
• App version: latest release from the GitHub repository
• Issue: App launches correctly, but no chat model loads. No error message, just stuck at loading.

What I've tried:

• Deleted app cache (~/Library/Application Support/huggingchat)
• Disabled Gatekeeper quarantine
• Checked system firewall and network permissions
• Verified internet connection (works in browser)

Please let me know if there's a known fix or if the app is incompatible with macOS Sequoia yet. Thanks!
