Dream Server

Fixed

• Dashboard nginx now re-resolves the dashboard-api service through Docker DNS at request time so lifecycle recreation cannot leave /api/* and Dream Talk routes pinned to a stale container IP.
• Discrete NVIDIA GPUs with less than 4GB VRAM now route to the CPU/Tier 0 fallback by default instead of entering a green install with a crash-looping CUDA llama-server.

Validation

• Fleet test run on 2026-05-26 at commit c1df395 passed User Green: true fresh install, product, full-model capabilities, lifecycle, and UI validation across tower2, Strix Halo, Spark, and M5 MacBook Pro.
• Full-model capability probes passed on all 4 enabled hosts, including chat, search, files, code, 76 Hermes skills, Dream Talk SSE streaming, session pooling, SOUL.md context, and install-context grounding.
• Distro lab passed 10/10 Docker lanes and 5/5 Incus VM lanes, and all 14 prior regression fixtures stayed green.

Notes:

• Vision probes were deferred because DREAM_FLEET_TALK_VISION=1 was not enabled.
• The release tag includes only the metadata stamp after the validated product commit; it does not introduce installer, runtime, compose, GPU-routing, model-selection, or dashboard behavior changes beyond the fixes already validated at c1df395.
