v0.5.1

Added

• Added free-coding-models web as the npm-friendly way to launch the full TUI-style realtime Web Dashboard from a global install.
• Added Socket.IO as the primary dashboard realtime transport, with SSE and REST polling fallbacks so the UI keeps updating even when one transport is unavailable.
• Added /api/state support for dashboard clients and daemon dashboard clients, including ping mode, countdown, per-model ping state, and benchmark progress metadata.
• Added tests that lock every visible web table column as sortable, including display-only columns such as ❔, Last Ping, AI Latency, TPS, and Trend.

Changed

• Reworked the standalone web server to mirror the TUI ping cadence more closely: startup speed mode, normal cadence, idle slow mode, per-model isPinging, and frequent incremental updates.
• Changed the Web Dashboard AI Latency global benchmark to benchmark only the models currently visible after filters and search, instead of always benchmarking the full catalog.
• Made every dashboard table column cycle through ascending, descending, and reset sorting, with missing values consistently pushed to the bottom.
• Removed the top stats card row from the dashboard for a cleaner, table-first layout.
• Removed the ms suffix from Last Ping and Avg cells in the dashboard table to make dense latency columns easier to scan.
• Improved dashboard table borders and added visible column separators, including stronger light-theme borders.
• Updated npm and web documentation to distinguish the full catalog dashboard (free-coding-models web, default localhost:3333) from the router daemon dashboard (free-coding-models --daemon, default localhost:19280).

Fixed

• Fixed free-coding-models web being parsed as an API key by treating web as a real subcommand.
• Fixed dashboard benchmark spinners so only the actively benchmarked row shows running state instead of making unrelated rows spin during global scans.
• Fixed benchmark result keys by using provider/model identifiers, avoiding collisions and invisible results when providers share model ids.
• Fixed the Tier “All” filter mismatch in the Web Dashboard.
• Fixed light-theme button contrast where accent buttons could render unreadable black-on-black text.
• Fixed the web development readiness check so it waits for the correct local server response.
