Imports the visual direction from a claude.ai/design session ("PulseNode
Dashboard.dc.html") and reconciles it with the app's existing choices
rather than a wholesale swap: kept the IBM Plex Sans/Mono + Space
Grotesk typography and the pulse-green accent concept from the earlier
pass, adopted the imported design's structural ideas - a real
tonal/elevation token system (derived divider/muted colors via
color-mix instead of hardcoded per-theme duplicates, actual box-shadow
elevation), a 12-column bento grid with per-widget-type column spans
instead of uniform equal-width cards, fading-edge section dividers,
and a shared WidgetCard/MetricBar/StatusTag vocabulary so every widget
type stops repeating its own card markup.
Icons come from @phosphor-icons/react's /ssr entrypoint (bundled at
build time) rather than the imported design's unpkg.com CDN script -
that script is fine for the standalone design-tool preview, but a
runtime third-party call would break the self-hosted-only principle
already established (fonts self-hosted via next/font, no external
requests). New app/icon.svg reuses the same nav badge mark as the
favicon, replacing the never-touched create-next-app default.
Two new pieces of real functionality prompted by the design's mockup
toast/live-indicator, not just decoration: a "live" WebSocket
connection-status indicator (lib/ws/client.ts now tracks and exposes
real connection state), and a toast that fires on actual config:update
and config:error events - the latter finally surfaces config validation
failures in the browser, previously visible only in server logs despite
being designed for exactly this back in M1.
Adds a custom server.ts (http server + Next request handler + a
noServer:true WebSocket server on /ws) so the app can push live data
without polling. A CollectorScheduler runs one interval-based job per
docker/database widget instance, backed by dockerode against
/var/run/docker.sock, and reconciles jobs when config.yml changes.
Config hot-reload is now fully wired: chokidar watches config.yml/.env,
re-validates on change, and broadcasts config:update (or a
non-destructive config:error, keeping the last-good config) to every
connected browser. The client subscribes to per-widget topics over a
single shared WebSocket with exponential-backoff reconnect and
last-result caching for instant resubscribe.
Verified end-to-end against real throwaway containers (nginx, redis):
live CPU/mem/uptime/health streamed over the socket, interval changes
picked up without a server restart, and a broken config.yml correctly
falls back to the last-valid config instead of crashing the app.
