-18. Tool execution guardrails: allowlist, confirmation mode, and execution logs.
-19. Heartbeat scheduler (cron/systemd timer) for daily check-ins.
-20. Heartbeat endpoint for generated briefings and anomaly summaries.
-21. Model info UI panel (description, updated date, best-use purpose).
-22. Default model selection improvements and persistence validation.
-23. Hidden model list support (exclude models from dropdown).
