At the pinned data (observed 2026-10-22), the default flipped in commit 5aa5ccc9e02aec94cf43e0f71d4b2f62b204b5b6 (2026-05-21T00:03:58Z), the squash of PR #13802 'Multi-threaded load of models from disk ...' by rattus128. Its parent 4d6a058bf1dd18fb6d4594081c3f9a7575c97256 still has --cache-ram opt-in (default 0, CLASSIC in main.py). GitHub's compare API says the commit is contained in tag v0.23.0 (tag commit a88e02b18576283b1ff25a4b564548c5dc42cbf6, release published 2026-06-01T17:56:51Z) and not in v0.22.0-v0.22.3, so v0.23.0 is the first tag among the tags listed that contains it. The rationale sits in the PR description (new mmap-free loader, committed pinned memory on Windows); the release notes name only the PR title and do not mention the default change.
