kubiq v1.2.0 - The Observability Release

🚀 Overview

Release v1.2.0 is a major update focused on observability filtering, trace accuracy, and overall dashboard reliability. This release introduces powerful new ways to filter traces and ensures that high-volume background noise (like health checks) is accurately dropped before it hits your database.

✨ Major Features & Enhancements

• Global Ingestion Filtering: You can now configure system-wide ignored routes (e.g., /health, /metrics). kubiq APM will now intelligently drop the entire trace tree associated with these routes, drastically reducing database storage costs and dashboard noise.
• Advanced Trace Search & Filtering: The Trace Inspector has been upgraded to support strict faceted searching. You can now instantly filter traces by route attributes (e.g., /checkout), enforce Latency thresholds (e.g., > 2s), and toggle "Errors Only" to instantly isolate failing requests.
• Refined Trace Inspector UI: The APM Dashboard has received a visual polish. Trace selection dropdowns and filter menus now feature a premium, dynamic design with integrated status indicators and color-coded icons for immediate visual feedback.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Orphaned Span Leakage: Fixed a critical bug where ignoring a route would drop the root span, but child spans (e.g., database queries made by the health check) would still leak into the dashboard. The system now guarantees 100% trace tree dropping for ignored configurations.
• Cross-Database Search Consistency: Resolved an issue where searching for specific trace attributes (like a route path) would fail to return results when using MongoDB. Search behavior is now fully unified and reliable across both Mongo and MySQL backend adapters.
• Stale Trace Waterfalls: Fixed a visual bug where the Trace Waterfall component would remain stuck on the screen even after a user applied a filter (like "Errors Only") that excluded the trace they were currently looking at.
• Span Inspector Layout: Fixed a layout issue where the Span Details modal would get squashed, cut off, or become unreadable when inspecting very short traces. The modal now consistently renders at full viewport height.

🛠️ Upgrade Instructions
