OpenBot 0.1.3: we put the agent in a box

Most agent apps run shell commands as you. That's a bad default. One wrong tool call and it's your files, your keys, your SSH config.

In OpenBot 0.1.3 the backend runs in Docker, and shell commands run as a separate user. Thanks to @deveshb15 for building it.

Other things that shipped:

• Cost per run, so a long task can't quietly run up a bill
• A model picker you can sort by leaderboard rank, newest or price
• A small model for side jobs like titles, so you don't pay big-model prices for them
• Retries when a stream drops mid-answer, and respect for provider retry signals
• A cancelled run keeps its partial reply instead of throwing it away
