SentraCore v0.0.2-alpha (pre-release)

Overview

First public alpha of the reliability + observability track: the Python
engine gains durable history, hardware health probes, and storage
cleanup / large-file tooling; the Flutter dashboard adds Hardware and
Storage destinations, engine-synced history, and a more resilient nav
rail (including post-merge fixes for conflict resolution and long
hardware probe timeouts).

Engine

• Hardware health — Aggregated CPU, memory, and storage reporting via
PowerShell-backed probes; results cached server-side (~30s) with a
long client timeout for slow probes. See docs/architecture/hardware_health.md.

• History — Persistent archive under the engine datastore with
/api/v1/history (range, granularity, limit) for dashboard charts and
export paths.

• Datastore & state — Structured paths, atomic writes, lightweight
migrations; runtime/baseline JSON and similar artifacts are no longer
tracked in git where they are machine-local (see .gitignore).

• Storage scan — Cleanup categories, scan → review → apply (recycle or
permanent), and large-file search. See docs/architecture/storage_scan.md.

• Baseline / preferences — Continued integration with the new runtime
and persistence layout (docs/architecture/persistence.md).

Dashboard (Flutter)

• Main rail — Hardware (index 5) and Storage (6) before Settings (7);
scrollable nav when the window is short; notification deep-link uses
the updated Diagnostics index.

• Hardware screen — Detailed CPU / memory / disk cards; immediate render
from a local cache of the last successful probe; graceful degradation
when the engine is slow or unreachable.

• Storage — Storage screen and settings section calling new engine APIs
(layout, cache clear, cleanup, large files).

• History provider — Pulls authoritative samples from the engine on a
timer while connected; keeps a capped SharedPreferences mirror so
charts still render offline or right after flutter clean.

Quality & repo hygiene

• Tests added for hardware health, history store, runtime state, storage
layout, and storage scan.
• Commit-msg hook strips AI / co-author trailer noise from messages.

Upgrade / run

Follow docs/README.md plus engine_setup.md and dashboard_setup.md for
local runs and Windows artifact notes where applicable.

Disclaimer

This is alpha-quality software: REST paths, JSON shapes, and on-disk
layouts may change before the first stable v0.0.2.

Highlights

• Updated dashboard UI with new home page and settings page.
• Added new settings page to configure engine settings.
• Added new home page to display engine status and settings.
• Website: modern GitHub Pages landing site with direct-download buttons (via GitHub Releases API).
