v2.0.16+claude1.9255.0

Hotfix for Cowork auto-launch, which was completely broken on v2.0.15 due to a minifier naming change in upstream 1.9255.0.

Fixed

  • Cowork VM fails to launch on v2.0.15. The spawn-guard patch extracts a minified function name to attach a dedup/cooldown wrapper. The extraction regex used \w+, which doesn't match $-prefixed identifiers like $Be that upstream's minifier now produces. Silent match failure fell through to a bare _globalLastSpawn variable, which throws ReferenceError on first read before assignment. Fix widens the capture to [$\w]+ and moves the tracking variable to globalThis._lastSpawn so it's always defined. (#660, fixes #658, #659, #661)
