Maestro Daily: Fixing Where Things Actually Point
Two connected fixes closed a gap where an agent's working directory could be changed in name but not in practice, while a pair of usage-tracking commits fixed billing attribution and duplicate turn counts. Together they underline a theme of state drifting out of sync across the codebase.
