v0.4.2

Highlights

• First-class Pi backend, alongside a unified backend registry for all supported agents.
• Agent messages use native delivery channels, preserving unsent terminal drafts and waking idle agents.
• Mission Control persists independent chats, reconnects to active topologies, and resumes native backend conversations when available.
• Closing the last Mission Control window shuts down idle assistants and the runtime after a 10-second grace period; active topologies keep running.
• Runtime and compiler distribution improvements, terminal truecolor fixes, and more reliable CI coverage.

The release archives include omar with embedded Mission Control, omarc, omar-slack, and omar-computer for Linux and macOS on both x86_64 and ARM64.
