Summary

AI summary

Fixed daemon status page staleness and GUI password dialog leak.

Full changelog

A maintenance release with two bug fixes for the daemon status page and the GUI password dialog. Drop-in compatible with 0.17.0 — no repository or coordination changes.

Bug Fixes

  • Daemon status page: the status page now reflects out-of-band snapshot changes. A lightweight change-detection poll runs one bare LIST snapshots/ per repo every 60s between backup cycles and triggers a full refresh only when the snapshot-ID set actually changed — so a CLI delete/prune or a backup from another host is no longer stale for up to the full schedule interval. The local snapshot cache is also persisted immediately after delete/prune (#159).
  • GUI: the password dialog window now closes properly. Its submit/cancel callbacks captured a strong handle to the dialog, forming a reference cycle that kept the component and native window alive; they now capture a weak handle and defer the drop to the event loop (#155).
