Liminal 0.0.18 — Desktop (Windows), routing recovery, reasoning-stall breaker

v0.0.18 ships Liminal Desktop for Windows (Flutter + bundled liminald), fixes mid-run 404 “all providers ignored” failures from accumulated OpenRouter reseller blocks, and adds a reasoning-stall breaker so the harness cannot spiral on think/reason alone. The Vireon managed-inference proxy now retries with a fresh provider route after ignore exhaustion and re-enables sub-keys after credit top-ups.

Shipped in this slice#

• Liminal Desktop (alpha) — Native app for Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon), and Linux — multi-chat UI, Vireon sign-in, GFM markdown + HTML embeds, image attachments; download on the install page or GitHub Releases
• Harness routing — Cap dynamic provider.ignore, clear on exhausted-routing 404, retry instead of stalling mid-task
• Reasoning-stall breaker — Suppresses reasoning-only spirals; forces action tools or a final answer
• Managed inference (control plane) — Proxy strips ignores and retries on 404 exhaustion; credit top-ups re-enable OpenRouter sub-keys (not left disabled at the old limit)
• Gmail tools — Native read/search with decoded bodies in the open-source harness
• Technical release notes — docs changelog
