 ## [Unreleased]
+- **Fixed:** Remote node proxy stripping the `/api` path prefix — `remoteNodeProxy` is mounted at `app.use('/api/', ...)` so Express strips that prefix from `req.url` before `http-proxy-middleware` sees it; added `pathRewrite: (path) => '/api' + path` to restore the full path when forwarding to the remote Sencho instance (e.g. `/stats` → `/api/stats`). This was the root cause of all remote API calls returning the remote's SPA HTML instead of JSON.
 - **Fixed:** Dashboard cards (Active Containers, Host CPU, Host RAM, Docker Network) showing stale local-node data after switching to a remote node — `HomeDashboard` polling effects now depend on `activeNode?.id` and clear state immediately on node change.
 - **Fixed:** `refreshStacks` crashing with `SyntaxError` or `TypeError` when the remote proxy returns a non-JSON response (e.g., connection refused to unreachable remote node) — now checks `res.ok` before calling `res.json()` and iterates a typed `fileList` instead of the raw parsed value.
 - **Fixed:** Restored Local/Remote type selector and fixed state resets in the Add Node modal — form now resets to defaults every time the dialog opens, and the title reflects the chosen type dynamically.
