Hardware Health, and a Sharper System Dashboard

The System Dashboard is where an admin watches the box, and this release makes it a lot better at that job. A new Hardware Health panel reads your CPU, memory, and firmware straight from the kernel with nothing to install. The whole page is faster and finally works on a phone. The Updates Available table now shows APT and QuickBox updates - CLI core and Dashboard - in one place, and the changelog tells Core from Dashboard and lets you read what a pending update contains before you download it.

A More Accessible QuickBox Pro

This release is built around one idea: everyone should be able to drive their server comfortably. We raised text contrast to the readable floor across the dashboard, made every control reachable and visible from the keyboard, rebuilt the Application Control panel, and turned the bare qb command into a full interactive menu for people who live in the terminal. Delete Protection lands in the same release, so a large delete can no longer take your box down.

Move Files Between Your Own Servers, and Never Lose Metric History

Two new tools land in the dashboard. Inter-Instance Transfer moves a whole folder tree directly from one of your servers to another, migration or load-balance, with no SSH and no relay, and a live cockpit to watch it. The Telemetry History Store keeps your server's metric history gap-free across restarts, deploys, and reinstalls, all on the box and never phoned home.
