v0.7.2 — the monitor you can trust

Sprout 0.7.2 is the release where the logger became unkillable and the plants got a real registry.

The headline promise, kept: just be a damn logger and never stop. The collection worker now supervises itself, restarts on any death, refuses loudly instead of silently, and every failure it can still hit writes itself into a log in plain words. The dashboard's one button never lies about recording state.

The other half: Plants & Sensors — your real fleet in a tab. Add plants and sensors, map any sensor to any plant with a plant-first picker (no channel soup), pause what's resting, and permanently delete what's gone — with a receipt showing exactly what left the disk. Classic review-then-save; nothing changes until you say so.

Also aboard: per-channel calibration tiers live on the wire and honest on every chip (a fully-calibrated channel wears no badge at all), an opt-in environment overlay (context, not cause), era-aware provenance that never cries VIOLATION at your own history, a web flasher that offers only what's bench-proven, ed25519 release signing (this release is its first live fire), and the dashboard's old 15-second slowness diagnosed down to ~3.

Grown on a kitchen windowsill. Raw counts + band are the truth. tend well. 🌱
