v0.20.4

What's changed

Fixed

• A step-budget (max_turns) limit no longer breaks the session. Previously
  a complex investigation that exhausted the turn budget surfaced a hard
  "Max turns (16) exceeded" error, lost the whole turn, showed a misleading "open
  settings" action, and (because the failed stream fell back to the blocking
  turn) re-ran the entire agent a second time. Now, when the budget is reached,
  the agent makes one tool-less finalize call that synthesizes a grounded
  best-effort answer from the investigation so far (explicitly marked as possibly
  incomplete, with an offer to continue). The turn budget is unchanged and still
  bounded (N tool-loop turns + 1 tool-less finalize); the client never sees a
  max-turns error and never double-runs. The agent is also instructed to converge
  and checkpoint findings (record_finding / note_fact) as it works, so a
  "continue" follow-up resumes from real context.
• The model chip refreshes after first-run configuration. Adding the first
  model provider through the Settings drawer (e.g. via the first-run wizard)
  changed neither sidecar-readiness nor the active session, so the composer chip
  stayed on "Add model" until a session switch — even though chat already worked.
  The chip now re-fetches when the Settings drawer closes.

Install

Builds are unsigned / ad-hoc (no Apple notarization, no Windows Authenticode). Verify downloads against the SHA256SUMS-*.txt files.

• macOS (arm64): open the .dmg, drag to Applications. First launch shows a Gatekeeper prompt — right-click the app → Open, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Storage Agent Workbench.app". It starts in a few seconds.
• Linux (x64): sudo apt install ./storage-agent-workbench-v0.20.4-linux-x64.deb
• Windows (x64): run the -setup.exe; if SmartScreen warns, choose More info → Run anyway.
