OpenSquilla 0.5.0 Preview 2

🦐 OpenSquilla 0.5.0 Preview 2 is a preview maintenance build for the 0.5 routing and desktop/runtime line — try it alongside your stable install.

🧠 Routing — recovery and inspection of provider/ensemble settings are simpler. Fresh installs default to the direct single-model path, while ensemble opt-ins get the static OpenRouter B5 profile. In internal hard-turn evals, ensemble routing beat every single-model baseline, including Fable 5.

🛡️ Managed execution & sandbox — tighter rollback and recovery for cancelled turns, sandbox denials, and approvals. The code-task build scaffold now stays non-interactive by using the scaffold package’s supported skip flag.

🖥️ Desktop & Web UI — improvements to HTML artifact opening, session deletion, composer drafts, empty states, voice readiness, and ensemble progress traces; expired staged uploads refresh their file UUIDs before send.

🔒 Privacy — non-user-initiated network observability (telemetry, update checks, auto-update) can be disabled before startup via OPENSQUILLA_PRIVACY_DISABLE_NETWORK_OBSERVABILITY=true. Legacy env vars are still honored.

Upgrading from 0.4.1 or Preview 1: close any running app or gateway, install the preview, and restart. Existing config and session data are reused. No Windows portable build is published for 0.5.0 previews — use the desktop installer or the wheel.
