v1.44.0

Added

• Clarify tool -- agent-initiated clarify() asks the user a question mid-run and blocks until answered. Works in REPL, bot, daemon, and autonomous modes. Add { type: clarify } to your role's tools list.
• Context budget guard -- PydanticAI history processor that truncates oversized parts and drops oldest message pairs when estimated tokens exceed the budget. Runs as a pre-request history processor and between autonomous/daemon iterations.
• model.context_window field -- explicit context window override in spec.model; auto-detected per provider when omitted (200k Anthropic, 128k OpenAI/Gemini, etc.)
• Dashboard trigger visibility panel -- agent detail page shows trigger configuration, fire counts, and next-run times
• Dashboard toast notification system -- global toast store with auto-dismiss; load-error recovery across all pages
• Dashboard agent wizard refactor -- creation wizard extracted into composable screen components (ConfigureScreen, EditorScreen, HubSearchPanel, SuccessScreen)
• Dashboard skills management -- browse, search, create, and edit skills from the dashboard. Path-based skill discovery, scope badges, requirement indicators, config panel, and editor tab. Full CRUD API via /api/skills/ endpoints.
• Skill service layer -- SkillService with path-based discovery, SKILL.md parsing, validation, and CRUD operations (initrunner/services/skill_service.py)
• Agent skills sidebar -- agent config panel shows attached skills with scope and requirement badges
• Trigger stats API -- GET /api/agents/{name}/trigger-stats endpoint with fire counts and schedule info
• Context-aware-scraper example -- autonomous web scraper demonstrating the context budget guard with history summarization
• Clarify-researcher example -- research assistant demonstrating human-in-the-loop clarify tool before acting

Removed

• kind: Pipeline orchestration -- removed in favor of Team for one-shot multi-agent workflows and Compose for long-running services. For complex DAG workflows, use pydantic-graph directly. Running a Pipeline YAML now shows a migration message.
• --var flag from initrunner run (was Pipeline-only)
• Pipeline executor, schema, loader, and tests (initrunner/pipeline/)

Changed

• Compose scaffold pattern renamed -- --pattern pipeline is now --pattern chain. Default for initrunner compose new updated accordingly.
• Dashboard compose UI no longer labels runs or deletions as "pipeline"
