v5.1.30
Bug Fixes
- Fixed the Proxmox LXC
/bin/updatehelper generated by the v5 installer so it reruns the installer without calling an installer-only shell function. (#1454) - Fixed Settings -> Diagnostics -> GitHub export on installs with no configured Proxmox/PBS targets by returning empty arrays and hardening the sanitized export path. (#1454)

What's Changed
- Stable v5.1.29 maintenance release bundling the post-v5.1.28 fixes on
release/5.1. - Alerts and notifications: stops re-notification spam when alert cooldown is disabled (Fixes #1444), gates RAID rebuilding alerts on the actual
/proc/mdstatoperation, and prevents test-config sends from leaking stale auth into the shared SMTP manager. - Updates and installer: keeps the update progress modal closable so a stuck update can't lock the UI, preflights disk space before Pulse self-updates, fixes
release/5.1LXC installs that were defaulting to RC, and aligns infrastructure discovery with the Patrol interval. - Agents and integrations: adds
--agent-id-fileso containerized agents keep a stable identity across restarts, carries forward previous snapshots for guests that can't be polled this cycle, surfaces unified-agent filesystems in the linked VM/container Overview, and keeps the Patrol Ollama model resident withkeep_alive=30sbetween runs. Fixes an SSE stream parser bug that dropped tool calls on EOF. - QNAP: persists agent updates to the data volume so they survive across firmware refreshes (Fixes #1420), and defers autorun until the encrypted volume unlocks (Fixes #1422).
- UI: preserves Proxmox guest drawer state across refresh ticks, and merges unified host and Docker rows when their IDs diverge (Fixes #1421).
- Security: bumps DOMPurify to 3.4.1 (four advisories) and pins the Go toolchain to 1.25.9 with x/net 0.51.0.
- Project: documents the issue-first contribution policy in README, CONTRIBUTING, and a new pull-request template.
