- Expired offline license keys no longer crash the process. An expired key now degrades to the unlicensed state. [#1106](https://github.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot/pull/1106)
- Improved the `setup-sourcebot` wizard: prompts for a setup directory, clarifies that secrets are stored locally in `.env`, switches multi-select to Tab, hides "No results" until a real search runs, and detects/cleans up conflicting Docker deployments and volumes before starting.

### Fixed
- Fixed git "dubious ownership" errors when the container runs as a non-root user by setting `safe.directory` at the system level instead of the global (root-only) level. [#1106](https://github.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot/pull/1106)
