v1.17.1

Added

• Multi-line script templates (Deploy) — Command Templates now support a Script type that holds a multi-line RouterOS script body (:while, :local, comments, nested blocks). Script templates are install-only: a new Deploy button pushes the body into /system/script on selected devices with a chosen name, optionally replacing an existing entry. Use it for recurring scheduled jobs like a Spamhaus DROP loader. Validated end-to-end on real hardware.
• Stale-data indicator on Dashboard and Devices — when a device hasn't sent a status update in ~2.5 minutes, the row/card dims and shows a small amber STALE badge. Live re-evaluated every 30 seconds, so you see degradation as it happens instead of guessing why a row looks frozen.

Fixed

• "Check for Updates" without DNS now says why — if the router has no DNS configured (or hits a timeout / network error / permission issue) the Latest ROS column shows a labelled badge (No DNS, Timeout, No internet, No permission) with the full RouterOS error in the tooltip, instead of a bare - and grey Unknown. Reported by Andreas Faerber.
• Script Deploy now preserves $varname references — earlier in v1.17.1 testing, deployed scripts had their $i and other variables silently stripped (RouterOS expands $varname while parsing the source="..." argument). Fixed by escaping $ in the SSH path.
• REST script install reliability — switched the REST script-install path to the action-style POST /system/script/add endpoint with an explicit policy field. Prior PUT /system/script returned ambiguous results on some RouterOS 7.x versions and could fail silently.
