Enabled SSH remotes are probed, and Maestro installs its command line tool on the remote itself. PR 2025 completes the illusion: federated agents now carry live busy…
Second theme, process and error-reporting reliability. PR 2010 and PR 1972 fix prompts too long for the command line, sending them over standard input on Linux, macOS, and Windows to avoid spawn failures. Related Sentry triage in PR 1970, PR 2014, and PR 2005 stops filing user-driven or agent-written content as…
Third, session correctness and small UX fixes. PR 2026 makes a closed tab stay closed through the persistence merge, ending resurrected chips after restart.
