Maestro Daily: Trusting the Actual State, Not the Inferred One
Today's changes converge on one root cause pattern - components and handlers making assumptions about state instead of checking what's actually true - fixed across the interrupt system, sidebar navigation, and web-desktop link handling, alongside a broader push to consolidate duplicated UI formatting logic.

A Stop button press left a Codex process running because the interrupt handler treated stop as a tab-level action when it's actually agent-level - so the visible tab could vanish from the UI while the real process, and its children, kept running underneath. Related in spirit is…
The same theme shows up in PR 1443: agent-emitted links to open a Concerto movement worked in the desktop app but silently failed on web-desktop, because the payload never made it to browser clients in the first place. The error toast blamed the wrong layer entirely - the panel wasn't unavailable, it never arrived.
