Previously, api plugins could only be installed as `peerDependencies` in
the api. This change allows them to be listed as `dependencies` as well.
This makes plugin loading (eg loading Connect) more robust.
Tests:
- [x] Re-logging on 7.3.0-beta.0.5
- Replaced BrandLoading with BrandButton in UpdateOs component for
better user interaction.
- Updated test cases to reflect changes in rendering logic, ensuring the
account button is displayed when no reboot is pending.
- Added functionality to navigate to account update when the button is
clicked.
- Introduced WEBGUI_REDIRECT URL for handling update installations in
the store logic.
Raised by [MitchellThompkins](https://github.com/MitchellThompkins) in
#1848
- Documents how to use Docker to build a local Connect plugin
- Local Plugin flow will now build workspace packages before proceeding
with plugin infra + build
- Removes recommendation to run `pnpm build:watch` from root, as this
race conditions and build cache issues.
- Makes `pnpm dev` from root parallel, preventing servers from blocking
each other.

Fixes#1848
## Background
The `build:dev` script is used for the `unraid:deploy` workflow, and it
implicitly triggered the `predev` script to build the `unraid-ui`
package as needed.
`web` builds depend on `unraid-ui`. In the past, `unraid-ui` was built
during `pnpm install` via a `prepare` step in its `package.json`.
However, this approach doesn't ensure that `web` builds correctly; stale
`unraid-ui` builds could cause false-positives.
So, instead of doing that, we call `predev` from `prebuild`, ensuring
that both local builds and the `unraid:deploy` workflow lazily get the
correct build of `unraid-ui`.
## Summary
Introduces a new Vue-based Docker container management interface
replacing the legacy webgui table.
### Container Management
- Start, stop, pause, resume, and remove containers via GraphQL
mutations

- Container update detection with one-click updates
- Real-time container statistics (CPU, memory, I/O)
### Organization & Navigation
- Folder-based container organization with drag-and-drop support
- Accessible reordering via keyboard controls
- Customizable column visibility with persistent preferences
- Column resizing and reordering
- Filtering and search across container properties
### Auto-start Configuration
- Dedicated autostart view with delay configuration
- Drag-and-drop reordering of start/stop sequences
### Logs & Console
- Integrated log viewer with filtering and download
- Persistent console sessions with shell selection
- Slideover panel for quick access
### Networking
- Port conflict detection and alerts
- Tailscale integration for container networking status
- LAN IP and port information display
### Additional Features
- Orphaned container detection and cleanup
- Template mapping management
- Critical notifications system
- WebUI visit links with Tailscale support

`myservers.cfg` no longer gets written to or read (except for migration
purposes), so it'd be better to read from the new values instead of
continuing to use the old ones @elibosley @Squidly271 .

Updated the total startup budget, bootstrap reserved time, and maximum
operation timeout values to enhance API startup reliability. The total
startup budget is now set to 30 seconds, with 20 seconds reserved for
bootstrap and a maximum operation timeout of 5 seconds.
## Summary
Fixes the `estimatedRuntime` field in the UPS GraphQL query to return
values in **seconds** as documented, instead of **minutes**.
## Problem
The `TIMELEFT` value from `apcupsd` is returned in minutes (e.g., `6.0`
for 6 minutes), but the GraphQL schema documentation states:
> Estimated runtime remaining on battery power. **Unit: seconds**.
Example: 3600 means 1 hour of runtime remaining
Currently, the API returns `6` (minutes) instead of `360` (seconds).
## Solution
Convert the `TIMELEFT` value from minutes to seconds by multiplying by
60:
```typescript
// Before
estimatedRuntime: parseInt(upsData.TIMELEFT || '3600', 10),
// After
estimatedRuntime: Math.round(parseFloat(upsData.TIMELEFT || '60') * 60),
```
## Testing
1. Query `upsDevices` before the fix → `estimatedRuntime: 6` (incorrect
- minutes)
2. Query `upsDevices` after the fix → `estimatedRuntime: 360` (correct -
seconds)
Tested on Unraid server with APC UPS connected via apcupsd.
## Related Issues
Fixes#1821

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Bug Fixes**
* Corrected UPS battery runtime calculation to interpret provider
TIMELEFT as minutes, convert to seconds, and use a sensible default when
missing—improves displayed battery runtime accuracy.
* **Tests**
* Updated UPS test fixtures to match the minute-based TIMELEFT format
used by the UPS provider.

Necessary for "clean" upgrades to api orchestration (eg changing how the
api is daemonized).
Prior to this, `rc.unraid-api start` would also restart a running api,
which sufficed for application updates, but is insufficient for
orchestration updates.

## Summary
- Add startup budget tracking to prevent silent hangs during API boot
- Add timeout wrappers around startup operations with graceful
degradation
- Add detailed logging for startup progress and failures
## Background
A user reported being unable to start their array on v7.2-beta.1 due to
the API failing to start. The root cause was a leftover
`dynamix.my.servers` folder from a previously uninstalled Connect
plugin. The API would hang during startup with no error messages, and
PM2 would eventually kill it after 15 seconds with no diagnostic
information.
**Original syslog:**
```
Aug 2 11:55:48 Vault root: Starting Unraid API service...
Aug 2 11:55:48 Vault root: Backup file not found at '/boot/config/plugins/dynamix.my.servers/node_modules-for-v4.12.0.tar.xz'. Skipping restore.
Aug 2 11:55:52 Vault root: Starting the Unraid API
[API never completes - PM2 times out waiting for 'ready' signal]
```
## Solution
### Startup Budget Tracking
Instead of fixed timeouts per operation (which could exceed PM2's
15-second limit in aggregate), we now track a total startup budget:
- **Total budget:** 13 seconds (2 seconds before PM2's 15-second kill
timeout)
- **Bootstrap reserve:** 8 seconds reserved for NestJS bootstrap
- **Per-operation max:** 2 seconds for pre-bootstrap operations
The `StartupBudget` class dynamically calculates timeouts based on
remaining time, ensuring we never exceed PM2's limit and always provide
clear timeout messages.
### Graceful Degradation
Non-critical operations now fail gracefully with warnings instead of
crashing:
- `loadStateFiles()` - continues with default state
- `loadRegistrationKey()` - continues without registration key
- `loadDynamixConfig()` - continues with default config
- `StateManager` - continues without file watching
- `setupRegistrationKeyWatch()` - continues without key watching
Critical operations still fail fast:
- Config directory creation
- NestJS server bootstrap
### Improved Logging
Each startup phase now logs its completion, making it easy to identify
where hangs occur:
```
Config directory ready
Emhttp state loaded
Registration key loaded
Dynamix config loaded
State manager initialized
Registration key watch active
Bootstrapping NestJS server (budget: 11234ms)...
Startup complete in 1766ms
```
## Test plan
- [x] Verify API starts normally with all startup logs visible
- [x] Verify startup completes within PM2's 15-second timeout
- [ ] Test with missing/corrupted config files to verify graceful
degradation
- [ ] Verify timeout messages appear before PM2 kills the process

## Summary
- Fixed GraphQL registration state not updating when license keys are
installed/upgraded
- Root cause: /boot/config is on FAT32 which doesn't support inotify -
the file watcher was silently failing
## Changes
- Enable polling for key file watcher (required for FAT32 filesystem)
- Add retry logic to reload var.ini after key changes to handle emhttpd
update timing variation
## Test plan
- Unit tests for retry logic (will run in CI)
- Manual test on Unraid: install/upgrade license key, verify GraphQL
returns updated state within ~8 seconds
<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
-->
## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Tests**
* Added a comprehensive test suite covering retry behavior, exponential
backoff timing, and various registration-change scenarios.
* **Refactor**
* Switched registration key monitoring to a polling-based watcher with
an exponential-backoff retry for config reloads; added event logging and
improved retry/stopping behavior to make state updates more reliable and
observable.

* **Bug Fixes**
* Restored translated strings and added locale-aware release date
formatting for update/ineligible messaging and badges.
* **Theme & UI**
* Streamlined theme initialization and server-driven theme application;
removed legacy CSS-variable persistence and adjusted dark/banner
behavior.
* **Tests**
* Added i18n and date/locale formatting tests and improved
local-storage-like test mocks.
* **Chores**
