DigitDNS v5.8.2 — AdGuard custom rules, command palette, performance

A minor release on top of v5.8.1. No database schema migration is required;
existing settings, clients, blocklists, certificates, relay agents and egress
options are preserved.

Added

  • AdGuard-syntax custom filtering rules. A text area on the Ad Blocking card
    (web + Android) accepts AdGuard/uBlock network rules (||domain^, @@||,
    $dnsrewrite=, $important, hosts format). Rules compile into the same index
    as your blocklists.
  • $dnsrewrite support. $dnsrewrite=IP (A/AAAA), $dnsrewrite=host
    (CNAME), $dnsrewrite=TXT "text", and $dnsrewrite=NXDOMAIN/REFUSED/SERVFAIL.
  • Command palette. Ctrl/Cmd+K opens a fuzzy search over tabs, settings
    sections and global actions (theme toggle, sign out) on the web panel.
  • Android status widget. A 2×1 home-screen widget showing queries today and
    the live query rate; tap to open the app.
  • Android toggle widget. A 1×1 widget showing filtering on/off; tap opens
    the app's Ad Blocking page.
  • Android switches contrast. Switches in the grey theme now use the success
    colour for the checked track (was nearly white).

Changed

  • Resolver hot path. System metrics sampled once per second in
    telemetryLoop instead of on every /api/stats call. normalizeProto uses
    EqualFold (zero alloc per query). Aggregator uses a per-bucket mutex and an
    atomic current-bucket pointer.
  • Web theming. Non-theme-mapped sky-* and violet-* Tailwind utilities
    replaced with theme-mapped cyan-*/purple-* across DoT settings, custom
    policy groups, the top-upstreams icon, the 2FA card and the zap icon.
  • Adaptive selection. adaptiveHealthy now accepts resolvers that have a
    successful probe, so the Force button switches to the fastest probed resolver
    even if it never served live traffic. The timer resets after each forced run.

Fixed

  • Upstream Force button. Not all the time did it switch to the fastest
    resolver (probed-but-unmeasured resolvers were excluded). Fixed.
  • Android detekt. TransportChips no longer exceeds the
    cyclomatic-complexity threshold (the transport colour/label lookup moved to
    the theme).
  • Android alert channel name collapse. The weight(1f) field now has a
    real row to fill instead of being squeezed beside the kind selector, switch
    and delete button.
  • Web alert type picker. The native <select> (which cannot render icons)
    was replaced with a pictogram menu.
