It shows what failed and at which step, and offers a single forward path — retry the container runtime, launch without sandboxing, change image, or pick a new project — with a…
Second, performance under load. The dashboard polls session and plugin state every few seconds, and on large installs those responses top a megabyte each. PR 5356 adds gzip and z-standard compression at the router level to cut bytes on the wire. Complementing that, PR 5355 proposes entity tags and not-modified…
