Maestro Daily: Data Loss, Silent Failures, and a Security Cleanup

Today's activity centers on a run of quiet-failure bugs — groups vanishing, prompts getting deleted, wizards left empty — paired with a security-driven dependency overhaul replacing adm-zip and patching node-tar and vitest.

Related to that: PR 1538 and commit 6cd42d7 fixed transcripts where a hydrated tab showed a raw embedded system prompt that a live tab had cleanly hidden — two code paths building the same envelope by hand, and drifting. The fix consolidates it into one shared module, a theme echoed in PR 1427's CLI work and the…

Second theme: security debt getting paid down. PRs 1541 and 1542 pull adm-zip entirely in favor of fflate, closing a symlink-following vulnerability with no available patch. PR 1543 follows up by bounding archive reads and blocking intermediate extract symlinks. Alongside that, PR 1536 pins tar to close eight…
