Conductor 0.79.0: Cloud Polish #1

Conductor 0.79.0, a cloud-focused update to the AI coding agent, introduces simplified onboarding, Vercel AI Gateway API key support, and an experimental Pierre editor for direct file editing in diffs, alongside fixes for message loss, session state, and cloud workspace connectivity. The update also adds an API endpoint to put workspaces to sleep and an experimental setting to disable automatic Conductor API access in new cloud workspaces.
