v1.8.1

[1.8.1] - 2026-07-03

Changed

• Multi-node login now supports degraded access. A login succeeds when at least one configured node authenticates, while unreachable nodes are tracked separately from invalid credentials.
• 2FA login retry flow is clearer. When a node requires a one-time password, the login form marks the 2FA field as required, focuses it, and preserves the user's username/password entry for retry.
• Dependency constraints refreshed. Updated backend NestJS package ranges and root overrides for patched transitive packages.

Fixed

• Unreachable nodes no longer trigger stale session warnings. Nodes that were unreachable during login are excluded from the "missing node session" banner until they become reachable.
• Invalidated node tokens are reflected in session state. When Technitium rejects a per-node token, Companion removes that token and marks the node as failed so the UI can prompt for re-authentication accurately.
• DNS Override evaluation defers unreachable nodes safely. Schedule apply/remove operations now skip unreachable target nodes without marking entries as applied or clearing tracked state.
• Manual DNS Override runs show deferred nodes. The run result table now surfaces deferred node actions with an operator-readable reason instead of hiding them as ordinary skipped rows.
• Overview cards keep a stable node order. The overview page now sorts node cards consistently instead of depending on response order.
• Node overview cache status works with async cache keys. The cache interceptor now handles NestJS cache key tracking that resolves asynchronously.

Testing

• Updated backend E2E tests to create authenticated Companion sessions and exercise current protected API behavior.
• Updated frontend Playwright coverage for the renamed DNS Overrides page headings.
• Verified build, unit tests, lint, audit, backend E2E, frontend Chromium E2E, production Docker image build, and container health check.
