Maestro Daily: Fixing Assumptions That Broke Under Multiples
Today's work centers on one recurring bug class: code that assumed "only one" — one binary path, one active tab, one identity per machine — broke down as soon as users had more than one. Fixes landed across agent detection, tab indicators, tiling, and support package privacy.

Agent detection used to stop at the first binary it found, so a user with both an nvm-managed global codex install and an auth wrapper got whichever one sorted first — not necessarily the one they wanted. The fix adds an explicit chooser when multiple valid binaries are detected, closing out…
Same pattern shows up in PR 1319. With multiple threads running under one agent, the in-progress indicator could go missing — and specifically on the focused tab, not the background ones. Three live processes, only two dots showing. Root cause traces to state that didn't scale cleanly from one thread to several.
And commit be414fe hits it a third time: rename and drag logic both assumed the single-view tab is always the current tab, so renaming with a tiled group active could silently relabel the wrong pane. The fix introduces shared resolver functions so both the keyboard shortcut and the menu action agree on which tab is…
Two more changes worth flagging. Commit 9e3736 adds native audio and…
