+## [1.14.5] — 2026-07-08
+
+### Fixed
+- **"Add Custom" engine dialog was invisible/unclickable from the Speech Recognition and Language Models tabs** — two unclosed `<div class="card">` tags in the TTS settings markup left the dialog (and everything after it) nested inside the TTS panel's DOM subtree. Since that panel is `display:none` whenever another Engines tab is active, the dialog opened with zero size and no way to interact with it. Closed the missing tags so the dialog renders as a top-level element.
+- **Uncaught `ReferenceError: Cannot access '_localContainersLoadSeq' before initialization`** thrown on every page load when the Engines tab was active — a `let` declaration for the container-load sequence counter was placed after the code that first used it. Moved the declaration above its first use.
