      "summary": "Three things in one release. (1) Hotfix for v0.6: replaces em-dashes (U+2014) in API-key validation error messages with ASCII double-hyphens, because BOM-less UTF-8 scripts are read by Windows PowerShell 5.1 as Windows-1252 and the em-dash decoded to garbage that broke parsing on every Windows v0.6 install. (2) PowerShell window no longer flashes on each scheduled run -- a wscript.exe-launched device-agent-launcher.vbs shim invokes the agent with hidden window style. (3) Helper now writes a rolling local log at %LOCALAPPDATA%\\OpenBrain\\device-agent.log (1MB cap, one rotation) and any uncaught error gets POSTed to /devices/:id/error-report, which sends a Telegram alert (deduped per error signature per 24h). The server also runs a 30-min stale-heartbeat sweep that alerts if a device hasn't checked in for 30+ minutes. Re-run the installer to pick up the new scheduled-task action and VBS shim."

      "summary": "Helper hardening -- installer + runtime now reject API keys with non-printable bytes or under 32 chars. Fixes the silent corrupt-key install caused by a stray Ctrl+V at the SecureString prompt. Note: the v0.6 PowerShell files contained em-dashes that broke parsing on Windows PowerShell 5.1 -- superseded by v0.8."
