Forced upgrade breaks my project

I've been happily using the open source version of stoplight studio with local files Client requirements, and security rules prevent me from putting the API information into the could.

The previous version of stoplight let me work with a local directory, and was awesome! Now, I need to login, and it looks like stoplight is uploading all the information/yaml to its own servers. That breaks everything for me.

I looked to download an earlier version from github, but:

• The earlier releases have been removed form github
• The nightly builds will AUTO-UPDATE without any choice, and then require the cloud version

How can I just run the older version and work with my local files???
