Maestro Daily: Chasing Down the Last Mile of UI Timing Bugs
Today's merges were dominated by a cluster of fixes for timing and layout race conditions in the UI, alongside a new dispatch callback feature designed to close the loop on fire-and-forget agent delegation.

PR 1324 lets Auto Run override the model and effort level per run instead of inheriting from the agent — useful if you want to run a playbook on a cheaper or stronger model without a global change. PR 1328 and its companion design doc, PR 1327,…
Two more worth flagging: PR 1322 fixes a packaged-app bug where the omp agent reported a 200k context window instead of 1M, caused by a binary path resolution failure outside the terminal environment — a good reminder that packaged and dev environments can diverge silently. And PR 1316 fixes…
