[v0.2.10-rc.1] - 2026-03-07

Job lifecycle safety hardening: queued vs active cancel handling, active-job delete/restart blocking, batch-action conflict reporting, and stricter status/stat persistence.
Output handling now supports mirrored output_root destinations plus temp-file promotion so replace mode preserves the last good artifact until encode, size, and quality gates pass.
Scheduler, setup, and watch-folder parity updates shipped together: immediate schedule reevaluation, Intel Arc H.264 detection fix, H.264 setup option, canonicalized watch folders, and recursive watch configuration in the UI.
Jobs and settings UX now expose per-job priority controls, output-root file settings, active-job-safe actions, and the Astro router deprecation cleanup.
CI/CD rewrite for 0.2.10-rc.1: cached Rust checks, frontend typecheck/build validation, multi-arch Docker publishing, and unified prerelease metadata handling across workflows.
Release packaging cleanup: Linux and macOS now ship plain .tar.gz binaries, Windows ships .exe, and every release asset includes a SHA256 checksum file.

Runtime reliability pass: watcher/scanner hardening, resilient event consumers, config reload improvements, and live hardware refresh.
Admin UX refresh across dashboard, settings, setup, logs, jobs, charts, and system status with stronger error handling and feedback.
Frontend workflow standardized on Bun, Playwright reliability coverage added under web-e2e, and deploy/docs/container updates shipped together.

Setup wizard auth fixes, scheduler time validation, and watcher reliability improvements.
DB stability pass (WAL, FK enforcement, indexes, session cleanup, legacy watch_dirs compatibility).
Build pipeline updates (rustls for reqwest, cross-platform build script, WiX workflow fix).
Documentation and design philosophy updates.
More themes!!

Dashboard Crash: Fixed a critical bug where the dashboard would render as a blank screen if GPU utilization was null. Added strict null checks before toFixed() calls in ResourceMonitor.tsx.
Animation Glitch: Resolved an issue where the "Engine Status" button would fly in from the top-left corner on page navigation. Implemented unique layoutId generation using useId() to maintain the morph animation while preventing cross-page artifacts.
Migration Checksum: Fixed a startup error caused by a modified migration file. Reverted the original migration to restore checksum integrity and created a new migration for the version bump.

Resource Monitor Layout: Repositioned the GPU Usage section to appear between "Active Jobs" and "Uptime" for better logical flow.
Animation Timing: Adjusted staggered animation delays in the Resource Monitor to match the new layout order.

Codebase Overview: Added codebase_overview.md explaining the monolith architecture (Rust + API + Frontend) and directory structure.
Migration Policy: Updated MIGRATIONS.md to explicitly forbid modifying existing migration files to prevent checksum errors.
Walkthrough: Updated walkthrough.md with detailed debugging logs and verification steps for all recent changes.

Version Bump: Updated project version to 0.2.5 in Cargo.toml, web/package.json, and VERSION.
Database: Established 0.2.5 as the new minimum compatible version schema baseline.
