Wednesday's headline was the admin dashboard. I ripped out the old Model Manager and replaced it with a real React app with a backend, error boundaries, loading states, model management endpoints, and service cards wired to dynamic hosts. That commit alone was 2,747 lines added, 11 deleted. After that I spent the day chasing build errors in the dashboard itself: missing main.jsx, a white screen, template literal syntax that refused to cooperate, then fixing it again because of course I had to. Twelve commits just to make the thing render without crashing.
The installer got just as much attention. I redesigned it around multi-stage setup, dropped the old monolithic script, and rewrote install.sh to check for NVIDIA drivers rather than trying to install them for you. Secure Boot support landed for the driver installation, along with automatic password generation and group permission handling. The result is a cleaner install experience with copy-paste commands, visual formatting, and a lot less \"hope it works on your system.\"
Behind all that, the usual Docker wars. Port conflicts between extensions and core services, health check grace periods extended, Kokoro TTS model download toggled on, off, then off again because it was too unreliable. vLLM V1 engine initialization failed, Tika needed version pinning, WhisperX had a dependency conflict I resolved by upgrading pip. These are the small humiliations of running a stack of services that all want the same ports.

The Meeting Ops repo got a clean sweep. I dumped the AI assistant files from version control and cut loose the scaffolding from the initial commit. The project itself stayed, just tidied up.
Sixty-one commits across two repos. The admin dashboard shipped. The installer is actually installable now. The rest was maintenance and cleanup.
