Maestro Daily: Resurrecting Stale PRs and Closing Silent Failures
A cluster of merged PRs rebuilt features that had gone stale after major subsystem rewrites, while two fixes closed off places where the app failed quietly - a dead-looking Codex session and an invisible context window override.

Second theme: surfacing problems instead of hiding them. PR 1379 fixes a Codex bug where a remote compaction failure returned a 404 and the session went silent with no error shown - now those error events actually surface. PR 1371 tackles a UI version of the same problem: when a provider's reported context window…
Third theme: consolidating scattered logic into one place. PR 1380 replaced per-component right-click image menus - which had drifted into two different implementations across main and the release branch - with a single delegated host mounted once in the app. Follow-up commits then hardened it against real review…
Worth noting outside PRs: Pedram's media player commits added queue durations, adaptive video sizing, and a queue that survives restarts - all quality-of-life work, plus a tiling fix…
