Instead of each caller guessing from exit codes, both the Claude and JSON-line spawner paths now collect the same turn facts the…
Second, surviving real user states. Commit d f 9 f 0 b 2 stops a missing working directory — a deleted worktree or unmounted volume — from crashing Maestro on Windows, where the terminal spawner deferred the error past every catch.
