* feat: add configurable notification dispatch retries
Allow each node to set 0-3 extra in-process delivery attempts with a fixed
one-second delay for routes, agents, and Test dispatch.
* fix: harden notification retry settings load/save and channel tests
Guard Delivery retries against failed and out-of-order same-node settings responses, and cover Slack/webhook retry classification alongside Discord.
* fix: clear Delivery retries saving state and correct screenshot alt
Separate save-request ownership from value-generation invalidation so a successful PATCH cannot leave Save retries stuck on Saving, reset saving on node switch, and align the Channels screenshot alt with the committed image.
* fix: surface invalid notification retry settings instead of false saved clamp
Align Channels GET handling with the backend strict 0-3 parser so stored values like 9 or 1.5 show as error needing repair, matching runtime fallback to 0 instead of displaying a clamped saved policy.
* feat: add Apprise as a fourth notification channel
Support keyed and stateless Apprise endpoints with secret-safe public DTOs, fail-closed malformed config, and mode-specific Settings UI. Docs and screenshots updated for four-channel Channels and routing.
* fix: harden Apprise secrets at rest and preserve-on-write saves
Encrypt Apprise endpoint and config with CryptoService so a downgrade cannot leak via SELECT *. Align channel and routing saves so blank destination fields omit config on same-mode URL edits, enforce keyed notify IDs, and keep secrets_redacted truthful.
* fix: harden Apprise route type changes and mixed-version config UI
Require a raw channel_url when switching notification-route types so ciphertext cannot strand under Discord/Slack/webhook. Default missing remote apprise status, replace Channels state on node switch, and exercise the production config-column migrator.
* fix: tolerate stub fleet configuration payloads without agents
Normalize remote Apprise agent status only when notifications.agents is present so successful Pilot/stub fetches stay online instead of throwing into the offline catch path.
* fix: correct TypeScript in configuration normalize tests
* fix: ignore stale Channels agent bodies after node switch
Compare the active node after response JSON parsing so a slow body
cannot overwrite the newly selected node's channel state.
* fix: isolate corrupt Apprise crypto and keep keyed Tags visible
Decrypt failures on one Apprise row no longer 500 agent/route lists or
suppress sibling channel dispatch. Treat public /notify/<redacted> as keyed
so Tags remain editable after reload.
