+## 0.57.2 — 2026-07-20 20:15
+
+### Fixed
+- The previous chatbot fix only caught the model spelling a recipe out as prose. The more common case: a short reply that claims a draft exists ("here's a draft, check below") without ever calling the tool, so nothing renders. Now also detects recipe-creation intent from the user's own message and forces the tool call in that case too.
