✨ What's New & Highlights

🪟 Modern Frameless Window & Custom Controls

• Custom Frameless Title Bar:
  • Replaced native OS chrome with integrated, modern controls: — Minimize, □ Maximize / Restore, and ✕ Close.
  • Dynamic Maximize/Restore Toggle: Smoothly switches between single square and dual-rectangle restore icons.
  • Double-Click Header: Double-clicking the top draggable header toggles maximize and restore.
  • Smooth Window Dragging: Designated drag region (wails-drag) allows effortless dragging across all operating systems.
  • Curved Corners & Elevation Shadow: Features a rounded-xl curved frame with a soft, muted grey elevation shadow and perimeter border in windowed mode that cleanly snaps edge-to-edge when maximized.

📊 Real-Time Host Hardware Monitor

• Sidebar Resource Card: Added a dedicated host resource monitor at the bottom of the navigation sidebar.
• RAM Utilization: Displays real-time physical memory in GB (Used / Total GB) with a percentage gauge and dynamic color-coded utilization bar (cyan $\to$ amber $\to$ rose).
• CPU Metrics: Live logical CPU core count (Cores) and instantaneous CPU load percentage.
• System Detection: Instant identification of host operating system and CPU architecture (linux / amd64, windows / amd64, darwin / arm64).
• Clean Header: Relocated technical details out of the top header into the sidebar for an uncluttered, modern workspace.

⚡ Multi-Engine Operational Status & Detection

• Accurate Real-Time Detection: Replaced static status labels with live detection via container engine daemons and sockets.
• Header Status Dots:
  • 🟢 Green: Engine actively running.
  • 🟡 Amber: Engine installed, but daemon/socket stopped or offline.
  • 🔴 Rose/Red: Engine not installed.
• Sidebar Status Badges: Engine card clearly communicates Ready, Offline, or Not Installed with direct action buttons (Install Podman, Start Daemon).
• Notification Banners: Informative in-app banners with 1-click action triggers when the active engine is offline or missing.
• Prevented Silent Engine Fallback: Choosing Docker or Podman now connects exclusively to that engine without silent fallback or false "Ready" states.
• IPC Stability: Eliminated Go typed-nil interface trap and added 5-second timeouts to RPC calls to prevent UI loading lockups.

💻 Revamped Container Terminal Exec

• Streamlined Height: Compacted console height to 360px, ensuring the terminal, subtabs, and container controls fit comfortably on any display without vertical overflow.
• No Page Jump Scroll: Replaced global scrollIntoView() with internal container scrolling and preventScroll: true on input focus, keeping page scroll position anchored at the top.
• Clear Lifecycle States: Renamed ambiguous "Container Offline" label to Container Stopped, complete with a live status dot.
• Inline Start Trigger: Added a 1-click [Start Container] button directly inside the terminal banner when viewing stopped containers.

🎨 Light & Dark Mode Contrast Overhaul

• High-Contrast Light Mode Banners: Re-engineered status alerts with crisp rose and amber backgrounds, rich text typography (#9f1239 / #92400e), and high-visibility action buttons.
• Command Palette Polish: Fixed Dark mode background rendering so the palette stays true dark.
• Table Polish: Long volume hashes are truncated with clean ellipses and hover tooltips, and horizontal scrolling is enabled for compact screens.

🐧 Automatic Linux Desktop & Icon Integration

• Zero-Config Launcher: Standalone portable binaries on Linux now automatically create and register ~/.local/share/applications/dockit.desktop upon launch.
• Hicolor Icon Extraction: Automatically extracts the embedded 512x512 PNG icon to ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/ and triggers icon cache updates.
• Taskbar Icon Resolved: Fixes missing/blank launcher squares on Linux Mint (Cinnamon), Ubuntu, Fedora, and GNOME taskbars.

💿 Windows Installer Fix (.exe)

• Automated NSIS Setup: Configured CI/CD release workflow to install NSIS on Windows runners and compile dockit-windows-amd64-installer.exe.
• Validation Check: Releases strictly verify that the Windows installer is generated and published alongside the .zip archive.
