• A walky talky card in Chat shows the first three lines.
• The walky talky doc and skill say how a reply comes back and what an address is.

Fixed

• The harness lab runs Codex, OpenCode and omp to the end.
• A lab pass commits when the profile already reaches the version.
• omp's default band composer takes sends again under the Nerd Font symbols. Thanks @kjozsa.

• Type mode no longer doubles words with a composing keyboard. Thanks @viniciosrab.
• A pane outside its workspace folder shows its own Files and Changes. Thanks @jpcarranza94.
• A send that ended unknown clears itself once the text shows up in Chat. Thanks @jpcarranza94.
• Pairing from the host's own browser says why it failed, and Settings, System no longer shows made-up facts. Thanks @jpcarranza94.
• Sends to Meta Muse 1.4.10 now submit. Thanks @jpcarranza94.
• Muse refuses session commands during a turn, as Claude Code and Codex do. Thanks @jpcarranza94.
• Claude single-choice and preview questions lift into option cards with a fullwidth question mark or under a chip header.
