chore: release 0.1.17

[jrob5756]

Release 0.1.17.

Highlights

Added

• Script output schemas (feat(script): allow script agents to declare output schemas (#118) #206, feat: allow script agents to declare output schemas for typed downstream access #118) — script agents can now declare an output: schema; engine parses stdout as JSON and validates before script_completed. Routing conditions can reference declared fields rather than opaque exit codes.
• Validator warnings for agent.output field-precision (feat(validate): warn on undeclared agent.output refs and field-level mismatches in explicit mode #208) — conductor validate now warns on undeclared field refs and namespace mismatches (pg.outputs vs pg.errors) in explicit context mode, closing two follow-up gaps from PR feat(validate): catch template reference errors before runtime #125.

Changed

• Agent-tagged Copilot verbose logs (feat(copilot): attribute verbose logs to agents in parallel/for-each runs #207) — verbose log lines in parallel and for-each runs are prefixed with the originating agent name, making concurrent output readable. For-each iterations get a model_copy() of the agent with name = f"{name}[{key}]" so each iteration is distinguishable.

Fixed

• resume --web / --web-bg no longer opens an empty dashboard (Resume with --web shows empty dashboard: prior agent context is not visible after checkpoint resume #167, fix(resume): replay original event log into dashboard on --web (#167) #205) — checkpoints record the original run_id and JSONL log path; dashboard history is seeded before clients connect.
• --web-bg Windows crashes are now diagnosable (bug: intermittent startup crash — process dies between agent_started and first prompt render #116, fix(windows): make --web-bg startup crashes diagnosable (#116) #204) — captures bg child stdout/stderr to log files, enables faulthandler at import, catches BaseException in the engine loop and emits workflow_failed with is_base_exception: true.
• Max-iterations gate resolvable from dashboard (fix(engine,web): resolve max-iterations gate from dashboard in --web-bg #202, fixes bug(resume): --web-bg exits silently when max_iterations is reached instead of prompting for additional iterations #198) — closes the silent-exit hole in resume --web-bg; gates carry a gate_id so stale double-clicks are discarded.
• --web-bg detaches from Windows job objects (fix(bg): detach --web-bg child from Windows job to prevent kill-on-close #200) — adds CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB so the bg child survives the parent's exit in GitHub Actions runners, VS Code/JetBrains terminals, and the Copilot CLI shell tool.
• --web-bg log files now contain provider trace (fix(bg): stop passing redundant --silent to bg child (#196) #199, bg_runner.py passes redundant --silent to bg child whose streams are already DEVNULL'd #196) — stop passing redundant --silent to bg child (DEVNULL already enforces silence).
• --silent honored end to end (fix(cli): suppress web-bg dashboard output in silent mode #203, fix(cli): gate remaining dashboard URL prints behind is_verbose() for --silent compliance #211) — gate remaining dashboard URL prints behind is_verbose().
• conductor validate for registry sibling sub-workflows (fix(config): auto-fetch sibling sub-workflow from registry cache during validation #197) — mirrors the engine's auto_fetch_relative_workflow step.
• Registry cache mirrors repo layout (fix(registry): mirror repo layout in cache so cross-workflow refs resolve #194) — repo-relative refs between workflows in the same registry+SHA now resolve correctly; per-SHA root, atomic file promotion, readiness sentinels, _safe_repo_path rejection of unsafe entries.
• Copilot SDK metadata parse errors no longer break reasoning effort (fix(copilot): tolerate SDK metadata parsing errors when listing models #193) — list_models() failures from missing multiplier are now treated as "metadata unavailable" instead of poisoning the retry loop with Dialog turn failed.
