Start with security. PR 1384 closes three path traversal issues at the IPC boundary, left over from an earlier refactor. Contribution IDs are now validated as single path segments before being joined into file paths, external document names are reduced to bare filenames, and the cancel operation now confirms a…

Commit 8120b78 found that Claude's actual plan-limit message doesn't look like an error at all — it's a synthetic assistant message with reset time buried in a nested field. The previous detection logic missed it entirely, so rate limits weren't triggering retries. Paired with…
