ReleasePort's take
Light signalReleasePort v0.7.2 fixes a namespace‑join bug in `machine exec` and adds GPU/Vram visibility to `machine ls`. Multiple behavioral corrections improve reliability.
Why it matters: Patch immediately if you use `machine exec`; the fix resolves incorrect namespace joining that can corrupt session state. The new GPU info in `machine ls` aids capacity planning.
Summary
AI summaryFix incorrect namespace joining during machine exec.
